Regarding ambient gases, they are not important; the demo for the Swedes showed that at initiation of the reaction, the Rossi reactor can tolerate latent air contamination at ambient pressure within the hydrogen envelope. Next, Rossi has said that it is the high hydrogen pressure in his reactor that is the key to its high productivity. He also said that reducing that pressure will kill the reaction. Hot high pressure hydrogen is the smoking gun for Rydberg matter. High hydrogen pressure is the key to the formation of Rydberg matter. Rossi has turned Rydberg matter production from a low pressure microscopic local phenomenon into a high pressure global one expansive throughout the entire hot hydrogen envelope. Rydberg matter production and maintenance needs the high density and kinetic energy inherent in a hot high pressure hydrogen envelope to first develop, next to grow in terms of molecular sizes and higher quantum states, and finally to maintain a very long life cycle. It has been experimentally observed recently, ions will accumulate and stick to bumpy surfaces on the metal powder as well as pack into sub-nano-meter sized cavities. Furthermore, the years long service life of the reaction vessel demonstrates a lack of surface damage to the metal powder. This suggests to me that the Rossi reaction can initiate in these accumulations of Rydberg matter on and immediately around the tops of the nano-powder grain protrusions. If the nuclear active sites were found exclusively in nano-holes, these holes would be destroyed in short order. The rigid surface produced by imbedding nano-powder baked into the walls of his reaction vessel is a key feature in enabling the high reaction productivity that manifests in his reactor. The many high points at the tips of nano-powder grains imbedded in those walls are where the nuclear action happens. For 'would be' Rossi imitators that only heap nano-powder in a pile at the bottom of their reaction vessel will see few nuclear active sites and low productivity. A old wives tail of past cold fusion development is that hydrogen absorption triggers the cold fusion reaction. If this were true, Rossi’s introduction of nano-powder would not be very effective. But it is the high rigid surface area that nano-powder provides that does the trick for Rossi. Until the many Rossi imitators imbed their powders in the metal walls of their reaction vessels, their efforts at the end of the day will be frustrated and unsuccessful.
