One of the essential functions that the Ni/H reactor does is to convert heat energy into EMF energy.
The 5 micron micro particle with nickel nanowire coating is the first step in the energy conversion process. Surface-plasmon-induced drag-effect rectification (SPIDER) , which is based on transfer of the linear momentum from decaying surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) to the conduction electrons of a metal nanowire. The SPIDER effect bears a promise to generate very high terahertz fields in the vicinity of the metal nanowire. Reference: http://arxiv.org/pdf/0907.1621v1 Giant Surface Plasmon Induced Drag Effect (SPIDEr) in Metal Nanowires Giant surface plasmon-induced drag effect (SPIDEr), exists under conditions of the extreme Nanoplasmonic confinement. Under realistic conditions, in nanowires, this giant SPIDEr generates rectified THz potential differences up to 10 V and extremely strong electric fields up to 10^5-10^6 V/cm. In the micro-particles that start the energy conversion process from heat to EMF, the nano-wires are optimized to produce extreme voltage and high frequencies. The nanoparticles that contact this high voltage field then generate additional dipole motion but that motion is now amplified by EMF fields in the millions of volts and ultra-high frequencies. Like a high voltage tesla coil, the primary produces extreme dipole oscillations that are further amplified by energy conversion and transfer down a network of connecting nanoparticle chains
