Very interesting, indeed. Thank you, Peter. Four observations a) MgH2 is more stable than NiHn: Mg might simply suck up the hydrogen b) nonetheless, it is on the surface of Ni powder particles that H2 breaks up more easily, hence the rationale to use Ni as catalyst for MgH formation and decomposition c) there do not seem to be the cycling and pulsations, electrochemical, mechanical or electromagnetic, which appear to be needed in order to start the anomalous heat generation itself. d) even if some anomalous heat had been generated, how to sort it out from just a faster/more complete hydride formation, anotehr exothermic process? If cold fusion had happened, in small quantity, it would have been taken as a funky quirk.
