How could Parkhomov's 225 day reactor get started?
... and keep running even after the Nickel had melted?
At ICCF-22, I was asked by Jean-Paul Biberian, editor in chief of The Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science, how Dr. Alexander Parkhomov’s 225 day reactor worked long after its Nickel melted. I had clear idea in my head, which would also explain the observations at the end of the experiment. I will go over what that was today and it has broad ranging implications to a range of LENR systems.
You can hear the Q&A using the link below. Slides can be found here.
Reactions discussed during the live stream
Before the 225 day reactor was run, the core was found to be around 1% calcium, after the experiment, it was found to be around 20%.
The inner reactor core was made of Silicon Carbide. Using the MFMP fusion reaction calculator and the following query (without neutrinos involved)
E1 in ('C') and E2 in ('Si' ) order by MeV desc
we get,
The heater coil was a tungsten wire (in hydrogen atmosphere). Using the MFMP fission reaction calculator, and the following query (without neutrinos involved)
E = 'W' order by MeV desc
we get,

Some question that come up under this topic as follows:
Q1 - But in overunity energy production, where does all that excess energy come from?
Q2 - Why is all the transmuted matter stable?... not radioactive
Q3 - Why is no gamma radiation produced when transmutation occurs?
Q4 - how does radioactive isotopes stabilized by the EVO reaction?
If a plasma based reactor can operate such as SAFIRE and the E-Cat, then a liquid based reactor can operate too. The EVO reaction occurs in cavitation which is a liquid based reaction. There is a misconception that most of the old guard suffer under in that the active agent is housed in a lattice of a metal, but the active agent is independent of any supporting structures. We need to think of the EVO as free standing particles. EVOs can move around in an independent manner. These EVOs are what strange radiation is.
Unless the EVO is formed within a superconductor which is a dispersion free environment, the EVO must be pumped by some form of EMF to account for the loss of power caused by optical dispersion. In a high temperature reactor, that EMF pumping comes from light caused by black body EMF production produced by very hot material. At the point when the power production of the EVO becomes gainful, then the EVO becomes self powered.
