The Ni/H reaction is a truly complicated beast. Light and nanoparticles can exert force on each other. The smaller that the nanoparticles are, the more optical force that is involved.

This is one important reason for adding large nanoparticles to the dust storm inside the reaction chamber of the Ni/H reactor. The “secret sauce” provides these large nanoparticle anchors to the dust storm so that the small nanoparticles can combined with them and not jump around so much when infrared photons hit them. These smallest nanoparticles become rock solid when the pile of dust that they are a part of lands and glues onto the huge 5 micron micro-particles. The small particles behave like rock solid and immovable very sharp points on an electrode. They don’t move very much. This increase anchoring allows them to form vortex EMF fields rather than these vortex fields pushing them all over the place. Just using very small nanoparticle won't work because of the soliton stability factor. A very wide mix of particle sized are required.
