I doubt that they allow oxygen to enter the system since that would require continual reintroduction during operation. I would guess that the spark plug inserts a stream of electrons and protons at high energy onto the nickel surface. This would raise the effective temperature of the charged particles as they impact the nickel such that a form of warm fusion is occurring.
This technique looks significantly different from anything that Rossi has demonstrated. Perhaps they have found the secret key that opens the door to success. Congratulations DGT!

That is a spark plug on that reactor! See Pages 13, 14, 16, 18. Page 18 has a spark plug on the desk. Interesting... Maybe they preload hydrogen, let in some oxygen and ignite t. Gives a very sharp pressure/temperature pulse.
