The information about the ceramic comes from the following:
Dr. Brian Ahern presented the tenth talk, “Inverse Capillary Discharge for
Amplifying LANR.” Ahern has been very intrigued by the recent work by Rossi
and
Focardi (http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/FocardiSanewenergy.pdf) involving Ni
and normal hydrogen. He pointed out that they have used two important
innovative steps: 1) The use of a composite material involving nanometer scale
Ni and a ceramic; 2) The use of gas-loading to significantly raise the levels
of excess heat that are observed in Ni-H systems. As in his first talk, Ahern
emphasized the idea that energy localization, resulting from non-linear
effects, might potentially play a key role in initiating excess heat.

I do not know if it is pumped or not.
Please explain this
"this is where we are all conjecturing for a best fit but still remains a
mystery, we need more clues
You imply there must be an asymmetry in the absorbing desorbing of hydrogen
by
the sodium where I suspect there must also be a change in bond state
To aquire this asymmetry –perhaps due to the proximity of the disassociation
threshold the bond states for absorb abd desorb are different?

I don't think there is any RF generator.
My understanding of how the process works is this....
First, the nano sized powder is cleaned of impurities by being baked and
perhaps exposed to chemicals.
Second, the nano sized powder is bathed in chemicals and baked repeatedly. This
makes it able to absorb more hydrogen.
Third, the powder is mixed with one or more catalysts. One of these catalysts
may be sodium hydride.
Fourth, the sodium hydride and nickel powder are embedded into some sort of
ceramic.
===== I did see someone mention ceramic but think this is an equivalent ceramic
environment resulting
From the crystalline structure of metal lattice with defects and it’s ability
to
store hydrogen protons
In the interstitial space of said lattice. ==============
Fifth, this is placed in the cell.
Sixth, the cell is pumped with hydrogen.
===========I know it is pressurized but are sure it is pumped? That would
suggest a flow and the tank didn’t use any measurable gas ========
Seventh, the resistor in the cell is turned on which produces heat.
Eighth, when the cell reaches a certain temperature the sodium hydride releases
atomic hydrogen which fills in the little cracks in the nickel powder. The
atomic hydrogen may turn into hydrinos (releasing energy) which then may fuse
with the nickel which may produce more energy.
======== this is where we are all conjecturing for a best fit but still remains
a mystery, we need more clues

=====================
Ninth, the temperature in the cell rises. Then the input is reduced slightly
to allow the temperature to go down. This allows the sodium hydride to
regenerate
and absorb hydrogen.
Tenth, the current through the resistor is increased and the cycle starts all
over again.
I do not see any need for an RF generator. I think the system can self sustain
if the temperature is hot enough, but the problem is that there could be a
runaway explosion if that happens.
Also, I do not see how the reaction runs away when the device is turned off.
