One of the test run by Focardi indicated that the Ni unloads its H as the system cools. It may be do to phase changes that force the H out of the nickel lattice as cooling occurs. Eliminating such changes may allow the reaction to continue with H remaining in the lattice and without a second loading necessary. The phase changes may also be controlled by magnetic fields, and maintaining the necessary field may be important for a reliable, continuous operation. The magnetic field may be a way of controlling the H available for the LENR to take place, as well as, keeping it concentration low enough to prevent a bang.

The Lagano test may have revealed to Rossi that the function of the nickel micro-particles are transitory. These particles may only be required at startup just to get the LENR reaction going without producing the BANG. But the Lagano testers ran the reactor very hot, and many if not most of the nickel particles melted. But after 32 days of operation, the reaction was gaining in effectiveness and vigor even as the nickel particles were being degraded by the high heat. This revelation may have allowed Rossi to rethink his fuel mix strategy. Rossi may have been surprised that the nickel particles showed limited transmutation. The nickel particles may only be required to setup a quantum mechanical preconditions that allows the LENR reaction to begin gradually and smoothly without a BANG. Once startup is achieved, the LENR reaction precedes as a fire would by maintaining the conditions necessary for its continuing progression. No LENR reaction has yet to be restarted. Could it be that the nickel particles can only be used once at the initial startup. And once used these particles become ineffective?
