I wonder if sonoluminescence could be used as a cheap way to produce the Rossi reaction. I believe that Rydberg hydrogen is produced by the extreme high pressures occurring during cavatation. The intense ultraviolet radiation coming at or very near the end of bubble collapse is a clue that highly excited hydrogen gas is being generated. Any excited dirty plasma hydrogen will produce Rydberg atoms.
If a large bubble can enclose a micro sized nickel particle, a Rossi type reaction might be produced. Cavatation is extremely powerful. It can produce 5 nanometer diamonds from graphite feedstock in a few nanoseconds. The nickel powder might be easily destroyed inside the collapsing cavitation bubble. Some fluid other than water might be better used to get rid of the oxygen; maybe a hydrocarbon. But such an experiment is easily done; just add some nickel powder of various sizes, start cavitation, and look for excess heat.
