This auto cat converter system is consistent with the basic principles of nano particle based cold fusion. Think of this system as a dry Pons & Fleishman (P&F) cell.


In a P&F cell, HHO production and nanoparticle based LENR reactions would happen as a unified and simultaneous reaction.

In this Hot Cat HHO system nanoparticle production is moved to a separate and remote electrolysis process(the HHO process).

This is what Robert Mills is trying to do when he speaks of formulating “nascent water” which is a requirement of his new arc based reaction.

HHO contains water clusters (aka solid state water molecules) formed by arc discharge. The micro particles on the catalytic converter are in the same goldilocks size range as the NiH reactor of .1 to 5 microns. The surface of the auto cat converted is rough and its reaction surface area is large.

I would predict that any remotely connected cooling plasma process whose end product is nanodust could feed this type of system.

For the experimenters among us, I would try a cavatation system to prepare the solid state dust in a water solution. The water in the cavatation system should contain dissolved potassium carbonate salt. This potassium salt should produce potassium nanodust in a wide range of diameters. Such randomized dust particles sizes amplify nanoplasmonic power levels. After this nanoparticle feedstock production process, use a transducer powered nebulizer to vaporize the water and mobilize the solid nanoparticles in the air stream from the water suspension.

A one process step high pressure injector system (over 100 bar) might produce cavatation and particle suspension in a one-step parallel process.

Such a LENR system has all the earmarks of a great cold fusion system. These earmarks include dynamic NAE production, good reaction control, and a low power consuming nanodust production process.

By closing this Hot Cat system, a further enhancement is to remove the air from the system and use hydrogen as the nanodust carrier as in the NiH reactor.


H-Cat Video

This demo shows how nanoparticles of water clusters can be reacted into heat in an auto catalectic converter.

The HHO is the source of the nanoparticles "mouse"


Blocking the dust flow

This video shows HHO interaction with and without nanoparticle contact with the catalytic convertor substrate.

When the water crystals are allied to the catalytic substrate, full heat capacity is produced. When the water crystals are filtered out of the HHO gas stream by a fibrous pad, reduced heat capacity results.


Startup from room temperature.

This continuous video shows startup of a HHO Hot Cat from room temperature to 831F

Experence from the E-Cat cause concern that Gamma rays will be produced when the temperature of the reactor is this low. Using a gamma ray meter is called for here.

I wonder what electrode that the water clusters of come off of, the hydrogen electrode, the oxygen electrode or both.

The Rossi reactor is currently configured into two functional parts, the “mouse” whose function it is to produce nanoparticles, and the “Cat” whose function it is to catalyze these nanoparticles in a LENR reaction.

We can duplicate these functions by providing a nanoparticle source (mouse) and a nanoparticle reactor (Cat).

It is always better to “buy and tie” then to build from scratch.

Any device that can produce fine nano sized droplets from a liquid capable of supporting solid nano material will do.  This atomization function will support the Mouse function.

I would recommend adding potassium carbonate to the Mouse colloid to support the “secret sauce” function of Rossi’s reactor.

These possible mouse devices include a nebulizer, electric paint sprayer, air brush, diesel fuel injector.

I like the diesel fuel injector because it may produce a cavitation effect during atomization.

The Cat function might well be supported using a catalytic converter from a late modeled car either new or slightly used.

Engineers are doing some great stuff in the design of modern auto catalytic converters as follows:

Catalitic converter design

Warm the auto catalytic converter to 400C, and inject a stream of nanoparticles formed by the Mouse into it.

You may want to use heavy water to support the Mouse colloid as a way to produce tritium as a LENR tracer which marks the onset of LENR activity.

Axil, in the area of catalytic convertors, I bumped into a video where a guy made a very crude reactor chamber and started at ambient temperature injecting Hydroxy gas; within just a few minutes the reactor was in excess of 500 degrees C.  There was no ignition to get this reaction started and the producer of this video was convinced the temperature could easily climb until the reaction chamber destroyed itself.  I'll have to see if I can find this video again.  It convinced me Hydroxy needn't be ignited and that it contains they very characteristics you are documenting.

 I believe that the H Cat must be fed HHO from inside the shell of the catalytic convertor (CC). The spark that produces the HHO must happen inside the CC shell. Rossi does this internal “PUMPING” in his “MOUSE” unit which feeds his “CAT”.

External production of HHO will produce nanoparticles but polaritons will not be carried on the HHO gas flow though a gas pipe as is currently done.

Internal production of HHO like Joe Papp did in his engine will allow polaritons to move from the zone of the spark to the surface of the substrate of the CC in a Hydrogen and Oxygen gas envelope.

From a recent post on vortex, here is why polaritons are so important to “pump”

Hunt for 'unidentified electron objects’


This article holes promise to reveal some of the detailed quantum mechanical underpinnings of LENR in the NiH reactor. There is a direct connection between ultra-low super-fluidic behavior of atomic based Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) and quasiparticle based BEC that comes about through pumped super cooling.

Bose–Einstein condensation of quasi-particles such as excitons, polaritons, and photons is a fascinating quantum mechanical phenomenon. Unlike the Bose–Einstein condensation of real particles (like atoms), these processes do not require low temperatures, since the high densities of low-energy quasi-particles needed for the condensate to form can be produced via external pumping that keep the quasiparticle excited. Such pumping can create remarkably high effective temperatures in a narrow spectral region of the lowest energy states in a quasiparticle gas, resulting in strikingly unexpected transitional dynamics of Bose–Einstein quasiparticle condensates.

The density of the quasiparticle condensate increases immediately after the external pumping is switched off and initially decreases if it is switched on again.

In the Rossi reactor, such pumping is produced by the “Mouse” as it feeds the “Cat” with both polaritons and nano-particles.

When the Mouse is switched off, and the pumping is stopped, the population of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) increases dramatically in the Cat. This behavior finds explanation in a nonlinear ‘evaporative super cooling’ mechanism that couples the low-energy polariton overheated by pumping with all the other thermal polaritons, removing the excess heat, and allowing for Bose–Einstein polariton condensate formation.

Drawing a parallel between atomic condensation and quasiparticle condensation, it is likely that the motions in both flavors of superfluids – low temperature fluids and the quasiparticle superfluid both exhibit the same classical as well as quantum behavior.

The quantum nature of superfluids manifests itself in the form of quantized vortices, tiny twisters of electrons and photons, with the core sizes of the order of an Angstrom (0.1nm – approximately the diameter of an atom) that move through fluid severing and coalescing, forming bundles and tangles.

To make these processes even more intricate and distinct from motions in usual classical fluids, these tiny twisters live on a background consisting of a mixture of viscous and inviscid fluid components that constitute the superfluid.

The electrons and photons immersed in this polariton superfluid are useful experimental probes. As they move through superfluid they form soft bubbles of about 2 nm in diameter that get trapped by quantized vortices quite similar to how houses and cars become trapped and transported by a tornado.

As pressure decreases below the criticality level, the bubble expands and explodes, reaching micron sizes, with the bubble trapped by a vortex exploding at a pressure larger than that for the free bubble. Another class of object that existed at very intense super cooling explodes at even larger pressures. They termed these "unidentified electron objects".

In research of this quantum behavior, experimenters discovered a novel mechanism of vortex multiplication: the vortex core expands and then contracts, forming a dense array of new vortex rings during the contraction stage. The conjecture is that it becomes quite likely that the electron bubble becomes trapped by more than one vortex line, furthermore reducing the pressure change needed for consequent explosions. They have also shown that the mechanism of vortex multiplication is suppressed at lower super cooling; explaining why such vortex objects were to be expected experimentally only when pumping by the mouse is first suspended.

Could this behavior rooted in super fluidity explain the exploding magnetic vortexes reported by DGT in their ICCF-18 paper?

If there is anything in words or concepts that you are unfamiliar with, I will explain in simpler terms.

From a newbie,
I was just wondering, if anyone have seen Stanley Meyer's 1992 Global science Congress speech, where he claims having solved the back-fire issue, by mixing another gas, into the HHO!

I also wonder, if this H-CAT process will happen under water!, placing the HHO under the CAT, submersed in water!
