Does This Patent REVEAL me356's Secret Sauce?

Thanks for the link to the patent. I find it fascinating.

Basically, it seems to explain how not only to produce atomic hydrogen (H1) but to ionize the hydrogen into protons that can then slam onto a cathode (nickel or palladium) to induce nuclear reactions.

It reminds me of the Cannon patent a lot, in that ions are drawn to the nickel or palladium "target."

If Me356 is using a high frequency signal through his resistor to dissociate and ionize the gas inside his reactor, he is also giving the H1 and ions extra kinetic energy so they can penetrate more deeply into the nickel.

I have studied the Lipinski patent. However, I think it is fundamentally different than the *base* Rossi Effect which is the induction of nuclear reactions inside tiny pockets in the nickel lattice by migrating protons. By producing lots of atomic hydrogen and ions via glow discharge, protons can be pushed deeply into the nickel lattice. This may not work if the nickel has not already been pre-conditioned to have these voids or spaces (perhaps by combinations of baking, oxidizing, vacuum degassing, flushing with hydrogen, etc). I don't think EM stimulation is required. Piantelli and Focardi performed some experiments with only DC power providing heat via a resistor and produced a COP of 2. Me356 also seems to indicate the EM stimulation is not an absolute requirement. For example, the decomposition of LiH or LiAlH4 can release atomic hydrogen that can be more rapidly absorbed into the nickel. I think that EM stimulation gives the effect another massive boost by adding more kinetic energy to the atomic hydrogen and ions.

I think this is a very important patent. Although it only touches on fuel pre-processing (by suggesting the cathode and other parts of the reactor be vacuumed degassed under heat or even sputtered clean by adding a small quantity of another gas other than hydrogen), the idea of using this technique to forcefully bombard protons onto the cathode really seems brilliant. In the document, the author discusses how P&F could only force hydrogen into a cathode with .8 volts of potential or possibly at most up to 2 volts. Someone please correct me, but this seems like a measurement of the kinetic energy of the proton as it is pushed into the cathode. With this system the author claims that a potential of up to 400 volts could be applied resulting in much more energy being given to the proton. The result would be...

1) The proton could penetrate deeply into the surface of the cathode -- much more so than in an electrolytic cell.

2) With such energies the proton would create pressures in the tiny gas filled spaces in the metal cathode far exceeding those achieved in electrolytic cells. These pressures could be important for triggering intense fusion processes.

3) All of this could be performed at higher temperatures which could enhance the effect (100C for electrolysis vs. 900C in this glow discharge system).

My guess is that such a system (if the cathode was preconditioned in the same manner Me356 condition his fuel) would produce a huge amount of excess heat once fine tuned. But I see a connection to basic powder systems as well. The RFGs in the E-Cats of the one megawatt plant and the "frequencies" applied to other reactors could be producing a similar effect by helping dissociate hydrogen into H1 and increasing the kinetic energy of such particles. Since gas ionizes more easily at higher temperatures, if you're already at a very high temperature it might not take much of a push to produce a weak glow discharge effect. Also, once the E-Cat reaction is started, I wonder if any particle emissions from the fuel or gamma radiation (combined with the heat from the reactor) could combine to keep the gas ionized to continually keep protons of higher kinetic energy penetrating the surface of the nickel. Could this be one part of the self sustain effect? Simply exciting the hydrogen in the environment?

The interesting thing about this patent is that it is over 20 years old and was never granted. I'm not an expert in patent law, but someone who knows more than myself told me that this technology is now in the public domain because if a patent isn't granted no one else can come along and patent it themselves. Is this correct? Is this one reason why Me356 may have not pursued the pure glow discharge version of his technology -- because it could never be patented?

Does this patent prohibit patenting of any glow discharge based system?

The most interesting point of this patent is that the protons can be accelerated into the lattice with an energy far beyond what is capable in an electrolytic system.

2.0 volt vs. 400 volt or higher.

Does anyone know how to compare electrolytic cells to gas phase hydrogen loading with only heat and pressure (no EM stimulation)?

Would it be correct to say that electrolytic cells can load hydrogen into metals with much more force than a simple gas phase system using only pressure and heat?

Since there is not exactly a voltage differential in gas loading cells (that do not utilize EM stimulation) how can we compare the kinetic energy of the hydrogen atoms to those in electrolytic cells?

I actually read an interesting paper last night about how Ed Storms has tested a glow discharge system and produced high energy (.8 megaelectron volts) particles.

If the palladium, nickel, or other lattice has been properly prepared to create the appropriately sized dislocations or cavities, I think this patent could explain one method of producing a more powerful reaction.

Here is the paper I mentioned. Storms describes the production of .8 MeV electrons from a glow discharge.

If Axil is correct and that the direct electrical production of the E-Cat comes from the production of electrons, things really start falling into place.

A video supposedly from ME356

http://www.e-catworld.com/2017/03/12/me356-emerging/

This is looking very odd.

1: Supposedly very well off financially, supporting his own research, purchasing expensive equipment. This video does not look like it took place in

a typical R&D setting. More like an old basement. Not that this proves anything, other than it seems rather odd for someone with high finance.

2: Several claims have came from ME356, but no real data nor evidence. This is a big concern.

3: "Teasers" released periodically.

Why would anyone release this video? It shows absolutely nothing. I could make a better video in an hour using my wife's clothes steamer! It makes no sense and lends no credence.

Serious researchers such as Magicsound and Ed Storms do not do this! They may post comments or give updates on occasion, but these are meaningful and clear messages. I do not understand this approach. When theater is involved, there is some type of "show" always being put on!
