I think the function of the secret additive is to bring hydrogen in the form adequate for the nuclear reaction, and the frequency generator further enhances this process. I bet that in a year the nature of this compound will be well known and there will be elaborated more alternative solutions. I am not so much for historical analogies but I think if Edison could consult a specialist in material science he could find out a good filament after 5-10 trials. However there was no materials science then. But now it is.
