I don.t think that Holmlid is producing a hydrogen plasma at the place where the LASER strikes the collection foil, because the Ultra Dense hydrogen on the collection foil is not ionized as it falls by gravity from the iron oxide catalyst into the collection foil, A plasma would be too energetic to allow that collection process, especially a wakefield energized plasma.
