Riddle me this. Riddle me that. Have you seen the flying bat?
I didn't say anything about how it works, and don't have a degree in Nuclear Physics.
Riddle me this. How does anyone 'allow' the nuclear reactions to become very energetic?
Basically we are dealing with Nickle, Hydrogen and a catalyst. Remember we are dealing with a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction (that uses catalysts) so how is the nuclear reaction allowed to become very energetic? By increasing the Temperature from 500C? That will do absolutely nothing to increase the reaction (it needs to get hot like the sun). More pressure? Ditto. Adding a catalyst to a nuclear reaction? I don't think so!
Nothing in the description makes any kind of sense in a nuclear sense. Remember that the nuclear forces are thousands of times stronger than electrical forces. Controlling these forces at this scale is far beyond our current technology.
Normally, the reaction gets more energetic by the removal of a control substance that is absorbing neutrons. The more neutrons, the greater the cascading reactions that continue to build.
IMO, the whole thing is bs
Appreciate the well-informed reply, LG. That’s the sort of response that makes these kinds of threads informative and interesting to us laymen.
Ditto to Gandalf the Gray’s response.

I have a riddle for you.
Why are there sunspots? More importantly, why are they DARK?
Why is the Surface of the Sun at several thousand degrees and the atmosphere above it at several million degrees. According to physics, this makes no sense.
