* That should tell you volumes about the underlying mechanism. What does it tell you? (Serious question.) It tells me that Ni-H (as opposed to Pd-D) 1) Is a QM reaction involving ferromagnetic host material in nano-geometry 2) Magnons are the energy transfer mechanism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnon) 3) QCD is the field that explains how magnons within the proton are produced during color change 4) QCD explains why this does not happen with deuterons, or with any other nucleus except the proton 5) The ultimate source of energy is a reduction in proton average mass following the helium-2 reversible reaction, which instigates the color change - so this is quasi-nuclear and not chemical 6) The gain is related to the strong-force, and only the strong force (via QCD) and there is almost no weak-force contribution (in stark contrast to W-L theory) 7) This theory is falsifiable, unlike others.
