How are you defining melting Axil? The energy released by a single fusion event in the 50 nanometer sized particles is just enough to cause all of the bonds to break apart. Perhaps this is the source of the tiny explosions that are seen at the hot spots. The instantaneously hot metal particles would flow until the heat is dissipated. They would initially be at the melting point of nickel which might show up visually as hot spots.

Small Rydberg hydrogen clusters areformed by sparks or heaters. They are very small. When they land on the nickelparticles on the nanowires they produce powerful NAEs in the nano-spacesbetween the hydrogen clusters and the nickel micro particles. These hydrogenclusters can be destroyed and then rebuilt again by the next spark over andover again.

I may have made a calculation error so I encourage others to check that result, but the implication is that it would be better for these particles to be near 1 um or larger to prevent this from occurring too easily. If the energy escapes being converted into heat by radiation within these particles, then it would be OK at the smaller size. The fact that the process is temperature dependent to a large extent should generate suggestions to us about particle sizes. I wonder how the local heating of these hot spots interact with the larger nickel mass to allow for an overall stable design. It is good that we on vortex like solving complex puzzles. One day the pieces will fit.

OK, so now we have: Nickel nanomagnetic scale (sub 10nm) particles heated at least to Ni's Debye temperature, if not its Curie point, and infused with hydrogen -- the mixture being triggered to a NAE by ionizing the hydrogen. Areas of clarification needed: Should "hydrogen" read "protium (ie: Hydrogen-1)"? Should there be some characteristic of the ionizing energy specified so that the "infused" "hydrogen" is properly ionized?

Areas of clarification needed:... Is there a technical name that can be given to the geometry of the "nanoparticles" that would, for example, tell us where in the "nano" range the size of these particles should sit? "Nanomagnetic scale" (sub 10nm) is a term that may qualify. See pages 14-16 of: http://ecatsite.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/energy-localization-no8-11_n3.pdf
