In either case I am convinced the initial Reaction is due to changes in nano geometry which causes change in suppression level that disassociates any molecular hydrogen or fractional molecular hydrogen in an endless cycle until the gas escapes the suppression zones. The normally un-exploitable energy that keeps gas in chaotic motion is harnessed to move fractional molecules relative to change in nano geometry surfaces. Gas law also causes random motion of monatomic hydrogen but my premise is that the changes in suppression level only oppose molecular motion but allows atoms to change fractional values unimpeded. There was a comment that Rossi's secret catalyst may aid in the adsorption of atomic hydrogen over diatomic hydrogen which would make sense if you hold any of the theories that favor the gas to translate as far as possible into the smallest space and fractional values.
