Here again, you are forgetting the third element in the Ni-H reaction: that is, the secret catalyst.
Rossi has said that Ni and H2 will not react to produce much energy to speak of. The secret catalyst is required. Remember that Rossi started all this when he was experimenting with the Ni reactions with hydrocarbons. That is what gave Rossi his clue because he detected a slight amount of anomalous heat generated by the reaction. His background in thermoelectric converters predisposed him to improving his reaction with catalytic elements commonly uses in that discipline.
