H2 has High mobility but low viscosity? As opposed to H1? Loaded into Ni geometry I would think that H2 viscosity is reduced by changes in Ni nano geometry as opposed to atomic hydrogen. IMHO atomic hydrogen is free to change relativistic value or Casimir effect or fractional value but molecular bonds should oppose individual translation - forcing the atoms to translate in pairs and lower viscosity.

It is possible that nano-nickel when it is engineered to be present in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic form within the reactor, and triggered thermally to oscillate between the two, can be thermally gainful alone (without hydrogen contribution). In that eventuality, the main purpose of hydrogen is to remove heat from a nanopowder - which would normally have very poor heat transfer properties via conduction. Hydrogen, despite its flammability - is used in industry as a high-performance coolant when nothing else will suffice. According to Wiki-the-wise, hydrogen-cooled generators are the most common electrical generators in large power plants. Hydrogen's thermal conductivity is higher than any other gas. When thermal control is critical, there is no substitute. No other gas can penetrate and remove nearly as much heat from nanopowder, even if that is not its only function. Plus, H2 has high mobility, high specific heat capacity, low density, low viscosity and hydrogen is one of two gases whose Joule-Thomson inversion temperatures is low. Thus, hydrogen warms up when expanded at constant enthalpy which might also be a factor in thermal gain, if there is a densification function going on at the same time (i.e. pycno-hydrogen). Also, it should realized that SPPs do not require hydrogen. SPPs are waves which travel along a metal-dielectric interface and NiO would be the dielectric. Everything about LENR is pointing to one or more non-nuclear pathways which may work along with a nuclear pathway or not, within a complex system which is much more difficult to grasp in its entirety than anyone realizes. Ockham's razor is a lazy man's crutch. It has no useful place in this field. _____________________________________________ If we overlook the issue of naming the ultimate source of thermal gain in LENR, then the simple process of building a system which oscillates from order-to-disorder and back again, sequentially and rapidly without corresponding input and at rates of change which are high (terahertz), then we are poised to find anti-entropy and a significant anomaly. Order <-> disorder <-> order is adequate for gain, with or without a nuclear pathway.
