Thanks for that... both do plasma generation but different means... from Rossi's paper ...
Experiment with energy measurement done with a spectrometer
Description of the apparatus:
The circuit of the apparatus consists of a power source supplying direct
current, a 1-Ohm resistor load, and a reactor containing two nickel rods with
LiAlH4 separated by 1.5 cm of space.
Measurements:
During the test, a direct current was switched on and off. When the cur-
rent was switched on, a plasma was seen flowing between the two nickel rods.
The current was running through the plasma but the plasma was found to be
charge-neutral from a Van de Graaff test. This implies that the plasma has an
equal amount of positive ions flying in the direction of the current and negative
ions(electrons) in the opposite direction.
Input: 0.105 V of direct current over a 1 Ohm resistance.

Energy output: The wavelength of the radiations from the reactor was mea-
sured with a spectrometer ( Stellar Net spectrometer 350-1150 nm ) and was
integrated with the value of 1100 nm ( 1.1 microns ).
The temperature of the surface of the reactor ( a perfect black body ) was
calculated with Wien’s equation: 2900/λ(micron) = 2900/1.1 = 2636 K
