This spin alignment of deuterium is why a plasma of hydrogen must be formed to produce hydrogen crystals where deuterium must be reconfigured to a zero spin alignment as the plasma cools.
Adding deuterium gas from a tank as Rossi has done will provide non zero spin deuterium. It order for the deuterium to stay non zero spin, Rossi must disable the plasma forming electrical circuit before the Deuterium gas from the tank is added.
