Bockress and Reddy, p. 487, gives the water reorientation time, i.e. rotation time, for proton conduction as 2.4x10^-13 seconds. This rotational delay provides a strategy for driving the back side de- loading cell electrode backside potential so as to maximize the probability of deflation fusion at the de-loading surface.

When the back side is an anode, the electrolyte hydrogen nuclei, and thus the 25 percent of them which are deflated hydrogen nuclei, tend to be at least an atom and half away from the back side surface. Ideally the de-loading nuclei should tunnel out into an an electrolyte environment full of deflated hydrogen. One way to do this is to switch the back side from anode to cathode in much less than 2.4x10^-13 seconds. However, it might be possible to operate at twice that cycling rate, i.e. at 4.8x10^-13 seconds, but to detune slightly so as to achieve a frequent out of phase condition. This calls for an operating frequency of 2.08 THz or more, and thus a wavelength of 1.44x10^-4 m, i.e. 0.0144 cm or 1.44x10^5 nm, or less, located in the far infrared.
