Dissociation of H2 to H+ is just one thing sparks do efficiently. The other is the efficient formation of Rydberg matter that is probably key to the LENR process, as Axil has speculated.
I am speculating that "thermal balance" is key to formation of Rydberg matter in abundance. Spark rate and heat removal must balance to create optimum conditions (temps) for the creation of Rydberg matter as H+ cvondense back. Manippulation of spark rate and reactor topology is probably key to achieving this thermal balance. I have designed my reactor with these assumptions in mind.

Page 16 does show 2 orange wires that appear to be spark plug cables. (Off-the-shelf Spark Plug cables do have brightly colored red or orange insulations. And the picture do show a cable that is about the right diameter size for a spark plug cable.) I know I am harping on this spark plug thing, but the sooner "replicators" get over this doubt, the sooner we can focus on the corect replication design. It does appear the evidence for sparks being integral to the process is mounting. Those who doubt the use of sparks do bring up a good point, sparks will cook and melt the nickel nanostructures. Hence, the point that I keep on repeating, Sparks PLUS turbulence is the answer. As I mentioned before, Rossi redesigned his reactor from a small cylindrical design (original ECat and the EKitten design) to a flat "fat cat" design. The reason for this, IMO, is to design a reactor that would be more efficient with sparks delivery. This allowed him to controll his reaction better as DGT seems to have found out - that is, control the reaction rate with the apllication and modulation of sparks.

Note the cross hatching. This is fusion taking place using two items depicted on page 13 & 14. This cross hatching depicts a VERY high temperature. Just look at page 5 at the 'box' It's got hardly anything connected to it. Hydrogen, two wires and a themocouple. The test reactor I saw running is on page 23 & 24. It only had a hydrogen line at 1bar connected along with two wires. These wires were connected to an item shown on page 13 & 14 in the VERY center of the picture. I'll leave it to you to find the item. They are not connected. They are VERY important. Heck there's one just sitting on the table on page 18. in the rignt hand picture. Page 24 is just as I saw it. Note the items on each side of the reactor vessel. Page 16 actually shows the wire that should be connected and isn't. There should be two of them. That same item on pages 13, 14 is also sticking out of the box. This test reactor was SO simple. What is being shown now, is a plethora of thermo couples to closely measure the reactor's temperature in various places within the reactor. This means, to me, that they are trying to optimise the reactor and possible internal design changes. These themocouples are positioned where the fluid would flow through the reactor.
