That is the conclusion that I have drawn as well Axil. DGT apparently has
decided that their reaction depends upon ionized hydrogen which is obtained by
the spark gap. Why they then believe that the bare proton captures an electron
to become a Rydberg atom that then reacts is difficult to understand. Even if
it did enter an elongated ellipsoid pattern it is not possible to assign the
location of the electron to an exact place near the proton for any finite
period of time. Quantum theory does not suggest that the electron is actually
in some time domain orbit, but exists in the position near the proton as a
probability function.
It would be easier for me to believe that the bare proton is accelerated by the
positive gap voltage until it collides with some nickel powder. This behavior
would resemble hot fusion if enough energy were to be imparted, but 30 thousand
electron volts would appear inadequate. A strange thought occurred to me.
What if the high speed raw proton induced an electron on the surface of the
nickel powder to align directly into its path? The changing electric field
arising from the proton would tend to focus tighter and tighter as it reaches
the nickel surface. I am not sure of how quantum mechanics would treat such an
aligned proton-electron pair, but perhaps there is a period of time during
which they become extremely close due to mutual attraction. The momentum of
the proton would ensure that the pair continued forward into the nickel matrix
since the pair would act in the manner of a neutron. I can envision that the
pair might collide with a nickel nucleus and fuse.

If such a process were possible, it would be extremely easy to control since a
source of high speed protons is required. DGT is generating these with the
high voltage spark and the number released can be accurately controlled.

Regarding this statement in the PDF file foundon the DGT website as follows:
“The third way was the one we found: to “make the mountain disappear" for a
very short time." We succeeded by disguising protons in neutrons via
stimulation of nickel in Rydberg form. In this form the trajectory of the
electron is elongated elliptically, so that at its "perihelion" the system
appears as a neutron and not as “the mountain in-between". Thereafter, we cause
fusion by applying magnetic fields and pressure".
Defkalion Green Technologies states that their Hyperion LENR reactor cores
contain ordinary H2 hydrogen gas, nickel powder, and proprietary materials and
structures to aid in the reaction. Simple resistance heating elements are
turned on to excite the hydrogen gas. The naturally occurring H2 atoms are
further excited by bursts of electrical discharges via a spark plug-like device
which breaks the H2 into H1 gas and transforms H1 atoms into Rydberg State
Hydrogen(RSH) atoms, which have very large, often elliptical electron (cloud)
orbits. The excited RSH hydrogen atoms are then squeezed into the nickel atom
latticework.
"For a brief period of around 10 -13th second, each RSH proton is very close to
its electron. Then the RSH nuclei is a masqueraded neutron. As a result,
Coulomb forces between such nuclei are almost zero during this short time
window."
The resulting reaction releases gamma rays and light which are absorbed inside
the reactor to produce heat.
To the best of my understanding, the orbit of the lone electron in the excited
Rydberg State Hydrogen(RSH) atom becomes circular as the angular momentum of
that electron is increased by its increasing excitation.
This orbital behavior of this lone excited hydrogen electron speaks against the
hydrogen atom as a neutron like quasiparticle which is DGT claims to be that
root cause of nickel hydrogen fusion.
I believe that DGT does not yet understand in detail what is happening inside
their reaction.

Okay that's possible I suppose. We could test that hypothesis if Mills would
tell us what the upper limits of energy release is per mole of hydrogen. Years
ago I asked him and got some confusing responses.
