>> Input = Nickel and Hydrogen Output = Copper? The Chinese will love it! << In the long discussion following this article wattsupwiththat.com this was pointed out about the copper claim: John West says: October 28, 2011 at 9:15 pm Looking for resulting copper isotopes, I came upon: fysik.org which has some written in English: “The detection of 10% of copper isotopes2 in the residue from the E-Cat is difficult to understand, especially since only stable copper isotopes (63Cu and 65Cu) are detected. The isotope ratios of the stable copper isotopes in the residue are the same as that of natural copper. This is highly unlikely if the copper is produced by fusion reactions as Rossi claims.” AND “Considering that the natural abundance of 58Ni (68%), 62Ni (3.6%) and 64Ni (0.9%), it is strange that no 59Cu is produced from the abundant 58Ni and that only the two stable copper isotopes are produced. It seems that nature by magic has given 62Ni and 64Ni special properties so that stable copper isotopes can be produced!” Doesn’t look good for a nuclear reaction.
