You make some good points and we know that there are neat and as yet unknown processes at play. wrt "*In detail, the area around and very close to the internal heater produces hydrogen plasma." * Great but why doesn't the heat produced by the reaction itself form more plasma? You are treating one "heat" different from the other, unless there is some geometry involved?
