“...It produces heat by placing nickel powder of very small particle size (nano-meters to micro-meters) in a pressurized hydrogen environment...” pressurized means that an outside energy source is being used to pressurize the environment inside where the ‘fusion’ is supposed to occur.

Only the first quote is in the article. The second part is NOT in the article. Nothing in the article indicates that "pressurized hydrogen" means what you claim it means. There's no reason to require that the pressurized hydrogen be pressurized by the outside energy source.

But I don't even get your argument. I could build you a device that had nothing but water, a pressure vessel, and an 80-watt power source, and create pressurized hydrogen. I just need a catalyst to use the electrical energy to separate the oxygen and hydrogen in the water. I'm not saying that's what he is doing -- I'm saying it is so easy to do that, so I don't understand your arguemnt that the outside energy source is setting up a self-contained pressurized area.

So far as I know, the only way we use power to set up pressurized containment is when we create plasma fusion with coils, or high-power lasers. I don't see him using those devides here.

I have no idea if what he is doing works, or not, or if it is chemistry, or not. He says it isn't chemistry because it gets too much power output for chemical processes. But right now in Japan they have a nuclear reactor where they put NO power in at all and they get pressurized hydrogen, so much so they have to inject nitrogen in the hopes of not having an explosion.

I don't think that's what his device is doing either, but as I said, I'm really just not understanding the complaint about "pressurized hydrogen". Can't I get pressurized hydrogen in a cannister, and use it to blow up balloons? Is there some trick to pressurized hydrogen I'm not understanding?
