The main problem I see with this line of reasoning is that Rossi and DGT are getting positive results. Why would that happen unless the normal hydrogen reacts with nickel directly? There may well be a reaction of D taking place within the system, and if singular hydrogen is the result, then that should start reacting by itself generating heat. There remain too many questions and it is prudent to consider that this experiment needs to be replicated before the total story unfolds.
I would much rather see normal hydrogen reacting with nickel as the main energy source for several good reasons. Rossi and DGT appear to have strong positive results and of course the cost of D is far in excess to that of 1H. Let's allow the dust to settle a bit.

ButI don't think that would account for a twofold increase. Therewould be a net decrease in gas quantity under any scenario in which D2 reactswith nickel – never wound an increase be expected, even small - much less a ~2:1increase in gas quantity. Amazing. Thechances of measurement error are minimal with this kind of instrumentation, especiallysince they performed a control run which did as expected - so the bestassumption is that what they reported was at least fairly accurate. Thistakes a while to sink in, but it most likely means essentially that almostevery deuterium atom is converted into 2 hydrogen atoms, with a net gain inenergy. This also means that very few deuterons could have reacted with nickel,or else the quantity of gas would not have increased so remarkably. That isour most likely starting premise, unless there was severe measurement error. Ifthere was measurement error in this aspect – then the calorimetry is alsohighly suspect, since it is much harder to perform. However, the control runindicates that they did everything correctly and we should at least start ouranalysis with that premise. Jones
