Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, none of the suppliers seem to be willing to publicly quote their prices, and I haven't reached the point where I'm willing to pretend being a customer in order to get a quote.

While looking for an "original" source for all the quotes about the isotope analysis of Rossi's used "fuel", I came across this statement by Rossi that really caught my attention:

3- Ni 59 doesn’t exist. It is a typo. We buy regular Ni powder, then we make a treatment of it wich changes the isotopical composition. In that paper I referred to the powder as we buy it, not to the composition of the powder after the treatment we make. In any case, the composition of Ni, as we buy it, is well known: 58 (67,88%), 60 (26,23%), 61 (1,19%), 62 (3,66%), 64 (1,08%). After that, we change it.

According to this, Rossi is buying "natural" Nickel, then "treating" it to produce different isotopes.

That strikes me as remarkable as his claims for the E-Cat. Is he really transmuting Nickel into different isotopes? How would he go about doing that? Does he have a nuclear fission reactor in his kitchen? Does anyone know of a reaction that takes "natural" Nickel and produces "unnatural" Nickel (differing isotope ratios) without also producing other, obvious byproducts of nuclear fission?

When the nickel "fuses" with the hydrogen, a new isotope (or element) is created.

I think what the uranium enrichment so difficult was that it was in the form of a gas that had to be put through nearly endless cycles of a centrifuge to separate the various weights of material.
How the stable nickel isotopes would be obtained I don't know.

I can’t find a price online. Anyway, the truth is oozing out about this “world changing technology” so we’ll have to wait a bit for the next twist in the story.

Stay tuned folks, it gets better....really it does.
