no Ni H data.... well not from gas but you might want to look up the CETI
data.
George Miley did an analysis on some of that data. Recall the outer layer was
Ni
or Ni with a slight Pd overcoat.

It appears that you would like to see an experiment where the mix of D to P is
adjusted. Have you seen any correlation in the data from earlier tests that
support the idea that a 50/50 mix would be the most active?
When it comes to Ni/H, I have almost no data to work with -- just a reaction
that will not produce gammas (assuming it can even proceed). I do not know
what Rossi has said on the topic, and I take Bob's word that Rossi has said
that more D2 did not improve things.
Here are some interesting thoughts to add, though:This reaction does not
produce 4He, which to my knowledge has only been seen with Pd/D and not with
Ni/H.
In hot fusion, I believe p+d will proceed preferentially over d+d.I do not
necessarily think a ratio different from the natural one (1 D2 per ~6000 H2)
would be more efficient -- there may be something about d clogging things up in
the environment that would decrease the rate of reaction if there were more of
it, although this is a parameter that could be fiddled with. So a ratio of 1:1
for d/p might work out or it might mess things up.
As I mentioned earlier, without some kind of recharging, the d in this scenario
would be consumed and any reaction would peter out.I like this reaction more as
the source of heat than one involving Ni+p and a specific isotope of Ni (or
hydrinos, or hydrotons) simply because it sounds vaguely more plausible, and
because it dovetails nicely with my favorite hypothesis for Pd/D, which is the
d+d+Pd→4He+Pd reaction I'm always looking into. That is to say there is a
mechanism for triggering the reaction (Auger-like kicking of the protons and
deuterons when an x-ray comes in from the environment and scatters on an inner
shell Nickel electron). So my reasons for liking this reaction are not very
profound.
