Rossi's 2009 TOF-SIMS analyses digitized (+ theory speculation)

Hello everybody, You might have noticed I've recently deleted most of my comments. I won't elaborate on that except by saying that I'm sorry for any problem caused and the lost content. In an attempt to restore some faith on my mental faculties and bring back from the ashes some of the lost information, I decided to post here something special. Does anybody remember the seemingly indecipherable fuel analysis posted on New Energy Times much time ago here? http://newenergytimes.com/v2/news/2011/37/3726appendixd4.shtml Thanks to an extremely useful plot digitizing web application (here: http://arohatgi.info/WebPlotDigitizer/app/ ) I've been able to convert these into actual values. I already did something similar in the past, but with this I managed to do it again in very little time and with more accuracy. I've attached a CSV file containing the data in this post: EDIT: improved version here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7eIOSe9g5EndG9PX1dqbjZ0WEE/view The end result will probably be surprising to many. The powders analyzed at that time didn't seem to contain much Nickel at all, except for some traces of it: (made with the help of http://www.ciaaw.org/isotopic-abundances.htm ) The fuel content showed is consistent with some sort of iron-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst being used. Fischer-Tropsch catalysts are very good at splitting hydrogen and generally have a significant alkali content. The iron -potassium oxide catalyst used by Leif Holmlid in his Rydberg Matter/Ultra-dense deuterium research is also a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. These catalysts are also called styrene catalysts, ethylbenzene catalysts, dehydrogenation catalysts, and so on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer%E2%80%93Tropsch_process#Iron […] Sodium (Na) can be used too: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0926860X15300260 In the fuel on these analyses it might have either been used as a replacement for potassium or as a reversible hydrogen getter like lithium in later E-Cat models. The "after" fuel might have not necessarily been what was claimed. It was probably a different fuel salted with copper, although to be fair copper can be also used in limited quantities in F-T catalysts to enhance their hydrogen dissociation properties. The bottom line is that Rossi probably didn't use nickel at all in his first E-Cat experiments.

A typical styrene catalyst must contain a platium based substrate. Holmlid uses iridium. I don't think that a styrene catalyst will work without a platinum substrate that supports it. There is also graphite used.

Has this stuff been forgotten or has somebody decided that these details are not needed?
