I can continue commenting on your document, if you like, given that enough time has elapsed that it's no longer worth focusing on.
According to the Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg, the temporary atoms of hydrogen will cover during that small time interval Δt, a wide range of energies ΔΕ, which means also a wide range of atomic diameters of temporary atoms, satisfying the De Broglie’s condition. A percentage of them (at fist a very small one) might have diameters smaller than 10ˆ-14 m, which is the maximum active radius of nuclear reactions. In that case, the chargeless temporary atoms, or mini-atoms, of hydrogen together with high energy but short lived electrons, are being statistically trapped by the Nickel nuclei at a time of 10ˆ-20 sec. In other words, the high speed of nuclear reactions permits the fusion of short lived but neutral mini-atoms of hydrogen with the Nickel nuclei of the crystalline lattice, as during that short time interval the Coulomb barrier (of the specific hydrogen mini-atom) does not exist.
That is a
handwaving guess about the semi-classical, semi-quantum-mechanical behavior of protons and electrons. You ignore the fact that
actual quantum mechanics (the version that uses the Schrodinger Equation to make explicit calculations and predictions) has now been known for most of a century, and the effects that you
guess are there---formation of mini-atoms---are simply not. You made them up, but you did not (and you will not) find them as as solution to Schrodinger's Equation.
Your attempt at a "logical" walk through the Uncertainty Principle is also nonsense. Note that the uncertainty principle---including the behavior of electrons---is
already used in the tunnelling calculations that make fusion possible to begin with. Among other problems: look at the funny state that you have "lasting for 10^-20 seconds" That state, you say, spontaneously forms from the hydrogen already in the nickel lattice, and then (you say) is
small enough to fuse. Well, supposing it is small enough---it still has to
get from a lattice interstitial site
to a nickel nucleus in order to fuse. Too bad---the nickel nuclei are 10^-10 meters away, and
moving at the speed of light your state could only travel 3x10^-12 meters. Oops!
Nearby electrons, and their charge-screening effects,
do have an impact on fusion rates, when compared with unscreened proton-proton fusion. This is called the "Salpeter correction"; in an environment like the
center of the Sun (with a 10x higher electron density than mere nickel) the presence of those electrons enhances fusion rates by ~1%. Remember the mainstream calculations that say that the tunneling-fusion rate should be 10^-40 or whatever? That means that with electron corrections the tunneling-fusion rate is 1.01 x 10^-40. That
includes any sort of hydrino-like states, off-shell electrons, etc., whose importance you merely guessed at.
Regarding the "absence of radiation", both the photoelectric effect and the Compton effect have finite, known
cross sections. It is well known theoretically, and experimentally observed for ~100 years now, that 511 keV gamma rays can easily pass through several centimeters of nickel. The photoelectric effect and Compton scattering occur
rarely on a per-atom basis; the average gamma ray will zoom right past
hundreds of millions of atoms before doing anything at all. That necessarily includes the (very likely) possibility of escaping from the apparatus altogether.
If your explanation is true, it would be easy to test. Take an ordinary 511 keV gamma source (say 22Na) and see whether nickel---or hydrogen-soaked nickel, or hot nickel, or whatever---has an unprecedented ability to absorb them. (It won't. As it so happens I've done plenty of work with actual radioactive sources embedded in nickel, and gamma rays get out just fine.)
The funny thing about your blog post is that it seems to invalidate anything Rossi has tried to patent---his "special catalyst" for example. No,
your blog post says pseudoatoms and weird-Boltzmann-tails are
generic property of hydrogen in metals. (You didn't use any nickel-specific properties whatsoever in your reasoning.) The Rossi result, if it were one, is
not "hydrogen tunnels easily into metal nuclei because that's how quantum mechanics works"; if that were true, lots of ordinary industrial machinery would have melted down and turned into copper by accident. The Rossi result is supposed to be "hydrogen tunnels into metal nuclei
only in the presence of my special patentable catalyst/alloy/etc." which is notably unnecessary in your attempt to reason things through.
I wouldn't worry too much about this point, because there are so many other problems with your reasoning. But still!
