There is no mistake in your numbers, so far .. but ..
As you may know, I think Rossi is deliberately seeding the internet discussions with packets of disinformation, since he does not want replication. I think that you and many others on vortex trust him too much, and I do not. Therefore, I can only go on what I am seeing and hearing first hand. From the projects which I have been involved with recently, and admittedly we have not come close to Rossi's hero numbers, the minimum amount of nickel would needed to get to kilowatts is near where you say - 100 grams - more or less. I think it is more than that. This would need to be embedded in a dielectric. My feeling is the dielectric is the same as Arata - zirconia. An associate has analyzed the lines on the spectrographs in the Patent Application has found that the only 100% match for all the lines is zirconia and one other element which I cannot disclose now. Of course nickel is nearly 100% but this indicates that there is at least twice as much zirconium as nickel, so zirconia is at least part of the support. The fact that Focardi mentions Arata's extreme contribution make me think that anyone contemplating replication should pay attention to him (and Takahashi/Kitamura). Jones From: Axil Axil nickel has a density of 9grams /cc 100 grams of nickel / (9 grams /cc) = 11 cc 11/1000 = 1% where did I go wrong?
