Good luck keeping TiHx ductile enough to remain intact! If the loading level is kept low the metal remains OK but as loading levels go over 1:1 the metal becomes increasingly embrittled and falls to pieces. Don’t expect to keep a Ti wire with a coiled bend intact for long. If the idea is to benefit from hydrogen loading increasing at one end of the wire success results in friable fractured wire. Typically before ‘cold fusion’ arises growth of defects de-loads it. As for ‘cold fusion’ occurring in Ti it is a terrific environment, at least as good as Pd likely better. Zr and Nb also are similarly effective.

He does mention using 30ft of wire! Maybe that matters. https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Thread/2850-me356-Celani-Ni-Wire-replication/?pageNo=1 Andrew Hrischanovich also reports achieving 1.5x in Celani type experiments and notes higher pressure seemed to help ~10 bar. In personal communication, he indicates being unable to push it beyond that and is currently focused on TiH2. http://www.e-catworld.com/2016/02/05/tales-from-the-laboratory-of-experimental-physics-lenr-research-in-ukraine-and-russia-by-andrew-hrischanovich-alan-smith/ Of course as we have seen time and again, there is often something discovered which invalidates the results.

The industry blurb from Nano Dimensions from Israel included here is kinda interesting. Yes – especially if they can print quantum dots. Googling “nickel quantum dots” turns up lots of hits for solar powered water splitting. If any alternative energy technology is more exciting and desirable than LENR, it is photovoltaic water splitting. However, the level of hyper-inflated claims is even higher … but it seems to be no coincidence that nickel figures prominently in both. That is likely because of an affinity to hydrogen which is not yet understood.
