Rossi is the only person I know to have made such a claim, so it is unique, at least, if not altogether fanciful. Since he is storing hydrogen in the substrate and releasing it through heat, I it seems theoretically possible. He would have to have an efficient hydrogen storage mechanism, or he would have to make efficient use of what hydrogen there is, since it is common for LENR experiments to die down when the loading drops below a threshold.
