Hi Axil, You have a reasonable theory but we will always have some small disagreements based on a fundamental difference in perspective which is what led to my questions. We both agree that both Rydberg and inverse Rydberg atoms are involved but I think the micro cavities initiate the plasma with inverse Rydberg atoms that create a plasma which flows out into the lattice and gives rise to Rydberg atoms while you feel the plasma initiates in the lattice and then creates smaller Rydberg atoms that filter down into the micro cavities.
You are positing a catalytic poison which would result in an ash or coating that either changes the conductive property or the quantum geometry of the lattice and micro cavities while I am convinced that only heat is necessary. IMHO the molten metal will relieve the suppression by growing shorts across the geometry or closing the micro cavities entirely using only the original Ni which grows plastic hot allowing the separated plates to stretch toward each other or grow whiskers. I Agree that you might form some odd Ni hydrides like those claimed by RM but I think it is more about the geometry that allows them to form and that if milled to eliminate the geometry and reheated the hydride would break down rapidly. For me the initiating energy source was uncovered with Jan Naudts' paper proposing the hydrino as relativistic. Recent papers on BLP now refer to the hydrino as fractional Rydberg hydrogen but This is not the same as hydrinos being ejected from the suns corona at near luminal speed. Relativistic hydrogen in micro cavities is due to "equivalent" motion but rather than the gravitational acceleration and slow gradients we assume at the macro scale negative acceleration has VERY rapid change in rate. Normally we only expect to see breaks in gravitational isotropy at the level of quantum foam below the Planck scale but cavity QED allows these breaks to seep into the nano scale via Casimir geometry. The motion of hydrogen relative to the tapestry of different geometry in the cavity makes for constant breaks or rapid changes in geometry which is a dynamic form of equivalent acceleration called "jerk". IMHO it is this jerk that applies an asymmetrical treatment to molecules vs atoms and provides an alternative to the Maxwellian demon using molecular disassociation as the organizing agent. It sidesteps the issue with trying to organize chaotic motion and instead harnesses it as a power source to discount the disassociation threshold for molecules while having no effect on atoms. There is still a need to organize these discounts relative to any opportunistic resonances but the environment is already there. The other reason I agree that both Rydberg and Inverse Rydberg atoms are being created is a relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect that the Naudts paper led me to. Basically if the hydrino is relativistic and experiencing equivalent accelerations in the micro cavities it must be the cavities affording the effect not the hydrogen. To that end you can't get something for nothing and therefore the compression of the virtual wavelengths inside the cavity must be balanced by stretching of the virtual waveforms outside the cavity. This posit is supported by claims of changes in radioactive half lives for gases loaded into metal lattices. There are claims for rapid acceleration as well as some claims of minor delays which would suggest a shallow region of stretching all around the cavity exterior while the cavity is a concentrated region of very rapid compression.

Sorry for the delay Francis. I'll start with a the small bone to pick that I have mentioned previously is that you keep mentioning Rydberg matter when I think you mean inverse Rydberg matter if you are referencing the same hydrogen that others coin hydrino.... When I think and talk about Rydberg atoms and associated matter, this is what I have in my mind. Rydberg matter/atoms as a phase of matter can be formed by many elements including hydrogen. It is usually associated with one atom in the outer most electron orbit. In the hydrogen envelope of an NiH reactor, there can be a mixture of Rydberg matter and atom types witch include atoms of hydrogen, Rydberg atoms of the catalyst (aka secret sauce), Rydberg matter of hydrogen, Rydberg matter of the catalyst, and trace amounts of other elements formed by transmutation and some from contamination. Furthermore, a compound molecule of Rydberg matter can be composed of a mixture of hydrogen atoms and atoms of the catalyst. It is safe to assume that in the highly excited hydrogen envelope of a long running NiH reactor complex multi-element reactions are forming many and varied types and mixtures of Rydberg atoms and molecules. Also, in such an excited gas envelope, it is safe to assume that some of these mixtures of Rydberg molecules will transform into the inverse type in time. I think it is reasonable to assume that Rydberg atoms being far smaller and more electrostatically nimble than the large molecule types will be ionized by the micro-powder to protons that will accumulate inside the micro-cavities. The large molecules especially containing atoms of the catalyst will not usually be ripped apart because of their robust quantum mechanical characteristics. This is just my intuition and needs to be verified by experiment. If not absorbed into the micro-powder, these large and excited molecules of all types will steal more Rydberg atoms from the envelope and grow even bigger. They could grow big enough to clog up some growing percentage of micro-cavities until the reaction stalls into quiescence. I believe that DGT found this type of molecule contaminate on the surface of the spent Rossi ash thereby deducing what type of catalyst Rossi was using as his secret sauce. It is this contaminant that DGT purges when they vacuum clean the micro-powder. It is the buildup of this contaminant that kills the Rossi reaction in 8 hours. The DGT pulse burn régime will tend to minimize the growth of large Rydberg molecules thereby avoiding performance reduction by micro-cavity congestion in a way that will happen during the Rossi continuous burn régime.
