Ways Andrea Rossi will know if he is working with the same phenomena that has been observed by other researchers

IMPO Andrea Rossi will have seen many of the effects that go along with the Active Agent and its spin off (also an Active Agent) SR - at least in the macro form. He has not shared microscopic images of studies of his failed reactors, but if the old 'failures' still exist and he has a spare $60, he should get a NURUGO lens and have some fun analysing them or throw them on a laser or scanning electron microscope.

This is not an exhaustive list, but some of these effects include

• 'excess heat'

• 'excess cooling' [think of the implications]

• destruction of reactor structures below normal temperatures

• Anomalous glowing without real heat corresponding to the usual 'colour temperature' - IMPO will fool bolometers

• misreading of TCs

• liquification / disruption of metals, particularly aluminium. The higher the melting point and the lower the conductivity / Electron Affinity, the faster the transition from stable lattice to, well, not how it used to be!

• accelerated 'corrosion' such as oxidation with high levels of sulphur production at surfaces in contact with air, particularly if metal is Iron-rich

• failure/disappearance of refractory ceramics - particularly alumina

• Emission of low energy beta / photons

• Emission of broad spectrum photons similar to bremsstrahlung radiation but not necessarily with characteristic x-rays

• Intense reverse voltage spikes and/or low voltage reverse current

• problems with overheating in inductive parts of control electronics, even those that apparently are isolated

• failure of equipment at distance, even those that are not connected

• fatigue of operators around reactors that are not properly screened

• self-sustaining spheroid or toroidal structures that may leave apparatus

• plasmatic like effects at surfaces of materials, particularly metals, particularly aluminium, that look like fire, but are not in fact fire.

• impulses that could be used as propulsion source

• other directional affects dependent on EM configuration of the equipment

• increased appearance of above effects when 'control' power is switched off

• time distortion

• element synthesis and transmutation

• thing appearing where they were not before
