The holy grail of the hot fusion folks is to achieve Aneutronic fusion. The (11B + p) reaction is the best example. This sort of fusion produces most of its energy in the form of charged particles rather than neutrons.
According to Piantelli, his device produces loads of protons. Most of this Ni-H reaction energy should be converted to electricity using a direct proton conversion scheme where hydrogen is produced from protons after they attract electrons in an electric circuit. Forget steam production; a well-engineered Ni-H reactor might form the heart of an efficient proton generating nuclear battery.
