My terminology is probably inadequate at best. I was attempting to describe a system which quickly recovers from a triggered positive feedback pulse. The pulse is not required to eliminate all of the available fuel, but would continue as long as the positive feedback conditions exist. The device can begin to accumulate new fuel (hydrogen) immediately after the pulse ends until it has reached a state that is capable of being re triggered. The reloading that I mention happens within this recovery period.
In this scenario the nickel-hydrogen mix has a multitude of sites that are on the verge of being capable of triggering. Perhaps several sites are simultaneously driven and an energy spike results until they are depleted. It may not take long before other sites come on line and then become triggered in turn. The net effect is that additional energy pulses can be triggered rapidly.

Any Evidence? What exactly do we mean by “reloading”? It can’t be the same as initial loading where hydrogen seeps into the lattice to fill or displace any vacancies or ambient gas already present because once a stable average gradient is established you would simply have migration where any displacements leave behind a vacancy for other randomly moving hydrogen to fill. This sounds much like a long ago argument I had with Jones Beene regarding the need to “circulate” hydrogen through the nano powder [based on the Haisch Moddel prototype], apparently circulation isn’t needed at the macro scale because we aren’t taking any energy away from the hydrogen and it can be re-cycled endlessly just using the random motion of heated gas through the geometry. I can see where changing the “pressure” up and down might modify the degree that the hydrogen is able to seep into the lattice [fractional levels?] but you aren’t circulating new gas.. or is this what you mean by “reloading” ?

Thanks Terry, I recall DGT saying that as well. I was actually wondering if the reloading happens naturally as a result of the hydrogen pressure after a triggered event takes place. In this way, they are just re triggering an event that proceeds to completion on its own. Can hydrogen reload into nickel quickly enough for this type of reaction to be a useful energy source and could we determine the amount of time between the triggered events from their scope display? Also, this process reminds me a great deal of the video produced by Blacklight showing a run at the university test facility where one triggered pulse of heat energy was observed.

I asked PDGT specifically if they were reloading with hydrogen for the second burst and they denied that was the case. T
