<p>A low maintenance desalination program, using Ecat and brackish water, would allow this water to be used.</p>
<p>Southern NM and West Texas has many oil well bore holes that were used to prospect oil in the 1950s and 1960s. The bore holes preexist and would allow for pumping of brackish water for SPICE.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Could NM and Arizona use the Copper and Nickel deposits in the state to power SPICE using Ecat?</p>
<p>Ecat Ni/H reactor could be used to create 1000 F heat from a Nickel and Hydrogen reaction.</p>
<p>What would the costs be for a large scale Ecat desalination system?</p>

Dennis Bushnell: The most interesting, and promising, at this point, in the farther term, but maybe not so far, is low-energy nuclear reactions. This has come out of [22] years of people producing energy but not knowing what it is — and we think we have a theory
on it. It’s producing beta decay and heat without radiation. The research on this is very promising and it alone, if it comes to pass, would literally solve both [the] climate and energy [problems.]</span></font></p>

Alfred University would like to build a ceramic NI/H reactor that could last for decades.
<br>
Alfred University Ceramic Engineering Department may design an Ecat reactor vessel that would last longer than steel (Xingwu Wang [fwangx@alfred.edu]) Ni/H reactions could continue for decades or be turned off and on daily.<br>
The ceramic vessel could withstand 400-1000 F.<br>
Presently the reaction takes 45 minutes to reach maximum output.<br>
Would hydrogen gas leak out of the reactor? <br>
Hydrogen is the only element the reactor requires once the reaction has started.</span></font></p>

Re: Zr-Ni-Cu alloy performance<br>
<br>
Ames National Laboratory processed metal alloy foils via arc melting followed by melt spinning. This is the Yamaura process employed by Arata and others. The foils were baked in ordinary air at 445C for 28 hours.<br>
<br>
The brittle, oxidized foils were placed in a tumble mill for 24 hours.<br>
<br>
This resulted in 30 grams of black powder with a median grain size of about 40 microns.Presumably, each grain has about one million nanoscale islands of NiCu inside.<br>
<br>
The 30 grams occupies about 7 ml inside the 50 ml dewar. The system was vacuum baked at 220C for 24 hours and cooled to room temperature.<br>
<br>
H2 gas was added at 200psi. The pressure dropped only to about 185 psi over twenty minutes. In these replication experiments the exothermic reactions have had peak temperatures above 220C with substantial loading above 3.0 H/M ratios. This time the temperature
only rose by 2 degrees C.<br>
<br>
The system was heated with a band heater to high temperature. There was no controller. A rheostat was set at an arbitrary position and the system comes to a an arbitrary temperature.The average power input was 90 watts.<br>
<br>
After several hours the hydrated system was evacuated overnight at a constant high temperature at 530C. The next day H2 gas was again added at 100psi and the temperature rose by 40C to 570C and came back down to 530C after two hours. At the end of the day
the dewar was again evacuated while still at 530C overnight.<br>
<br>
The third day repeated the same procedure. H2 gas was added at 100psi and the temperature rose by 44C to 574C. However, this time it did not come back to the initial temperature. It remained at the elevated temperature overnight.<br>
<br>
On the fourth day H2 gas was again added at 100psi and the system rose by 50C to 580C and again stayed at the elevated temperature indefinitely.<br>
<br>
A rough calibration suggests that the 30 grams of hydrated nanopowder is putting out 5 watts of excess power.<br>
<br>
Yesterday Peter Gluck suggested that the relationship between loading and excess power may be a myth. This seemed to be true for electrolysis with Pd and heavy water where loading levels exceeding 0.9 D/M were a prerequisite for observing excess power.<br>
<br>
My loading level with this nanopowder sample as less than 0.1 H/M.<br>
<br>
This 5 watt excess is very much less than Rossi, but it is a real and repeatable experiment There was no radiation above the background level.<br>
<br>
Other alloys from Ames NL are expected within ten days</span></font></p>
