This is the best explanation I have seen so far. From MFMP

E-Cat X operating parameters claimed following recent test.
Whilst there is very little credible data shared in the 'report' on the
E-Cat X, information has been released all the same which you can read
about here:

This is what MFMP volunteer Bob Greenyer had to say...
"From my half-formed understanding...
Photons emitted can be
1. Thermal (IR /THz)
2. Visible (The stuff you can see from red up to blue light)
3. Invisible (UV, EUV, Soft X-Rays, X-Rays, 'Gammas')
The proportion of the type of photon will depend on the transition
elements used, their relative geometry / crystalline structure / cluster
size, their level of thermal excitement and the drive signal applied.
The mix of Group 1 alkaline metal will help determine the activity as
would control field strength. Group 1 metals can also influence the
yield of electrons.
The direct electricity generation would come from charged particles,
possibly from Alphas from p + 7Li reaction (that is the principal
thermal photon generator), but I believe, direct electricity comes
principally from Auger electrons - the stimulation photons of which I
have described in previous videos come from two processes. If these
processes are driven to emit photons of high enough energy to create
Auger electrons, there will be less visible light and more electrons
that will allow direct production of electricity. The rate of
electricity production will be directly limited by the geometry and
internal structure of the emitter and the proportional amounts of metal
types in it.
Given the reported operating temperature and hard limit of Auger
electron yield from a particular element, I would expect that the
principle transition metal used is NOT nickel in the claimed device -
since Nickel could possibly yield approximately 60% electrons, 40% X-Rays.
Even if the principal element was Palladium, I would expect it to be
approximately 80% electrons, 40% X-Rays
Therefore, I conclude that the principle transition metal used is
Platinum and this sets the upper limit of approximately 10% direct
electric yield. It would also mean that when driven to produce direct
electricity in preference to heat/visible light, it would yield more
high energy photons and it would create a 'bluer' light output.
Essentially it would produce more X-Rays and so this author re-iterates
his assertion that this is why it is called E-Cat X. In addition, the
melting point of Platinum at 1,768ÂșC is favourable to a wide range of
operating temperatures. The size of the device would be appropriate if
working with such an expensive material.
This will help you get the concept. https://goo.gl/jSsqYQ

(Note Lithium is the smallest element that will yield Auger electrons
and will yield essentially 100% and no x-rays.)
I would suggest that the claimed device is a surface modified platinum
wire or other substrate as the high temperature conductor. This provides
incredibly efficient direct, controllable heating and field. The surface
would contain platinum - perhaps as open cell rhombic dodecahedron
clusters (if stable at the desired temperature). The rhombic
dodecahedron clusters could be formed by the previously described
nickel/platinum synthesis process and rapid fused to the substrate wire
through joule heat pulse when the wire is immersed in the powder. I
would suggest that there is added Lithium, and additional Caesium in
very small quantities and Protium. This together would constitute the
reaction matrix.
The reaction matrix so described above would be stimulated directly in
the same basic fashion as a Celani wire, allowing for precise control
over the system and direct monitoring of temperature through a substrate
conductor resistance function. Additionally, an external metallic shell
in combination with the internal conductor could provide HT differential
for both accelerating the yield of electrons(-)/protons(+)/alphas(+) and
thermalising photons away from the generator - if coated on the inside
with an appropriate nano material, it could downshift incident high
energy photons into photons with more suitable energies. There could be
a light transparent material between the main reaction matrix and the
metal sheath to contain the reaction environment or the outer metal
could provide this function. The geometry would need to be such that
converting nano particles are stable at the required operating temperature.
