I'm skeptical about SuperWave, but, hey, until we know what's going on, I wouldn't rule anything out, and SuperWave is not actually a theory, at all, of how cold fusion works, it's a kind of engineering approach, my guess is that it might work by encouraging transient conditions of flux that allow the NAE to pop up. But it could also be gremlins, time bandits, or, hey, maybe hydrinos are involved. . . .
I am not surprised that superwaves work, but I doubt they have profound theoretical implications. Similar techniques were demonstrated years before superwaves emerged, such as the "Takahashi method" of using alternating high and low powered electrolysis, and Evan Ragland's triode approach. Any method that causes a stimulus (or disequilibrium) may help.
I assume these methods have an effect on the electrochemistry and the loading of the cathode, which means they only indirectly influence the cold fusion effect.
I asked the people at Energetics Technologies how their process can be applied to gas loading. They responded "good question. We haven't thought about that." I doubt it can be applied. I do not think gas load needs stimulation in any case.
By the way, I put "Takahashi method" in quotes because the technique was known to electrochemists long before cold fusion emerged. I do not know if Takahashi learned about it from someone else or thought it up himself. He deserves credit for being the first person to apply it to cold fusion electrochemistry, and for urging others to try it. As I mentioned the other day, Ogawa and others tried it, and it seemed to have a positive effect. So in this context it is fair to call it his method.
