It is shown that the appearance of gamma radiation in composite metals filled with hydrogen occurs as a result of momentum resonance between scattered hydrogen diffusing in a polaron mode and a vibrating atom of the crystal lattice. The reason for the generation of extra heat in metal nanocomposites and grains is due to the scattering of an oscillating atom of the crystal lattice by hydrogen atoms, as a result of which a hydrogen cluster is formed obtaining the kinetic energy from the atom. The surrounding thermostat quickly returns the atom to thermal equilibrium, and only after that the cluster gives the captured energy back to the lattice atom, which increases the atom’s kinetic energy, i.e., leads to an increase in the heating of the sample, and the cluster itself again breaks up into free atoms. Then this procedure is repeated again and again. Thus, a new feature of nanocomposite materials has been found, namely the possibility of short-term energy storage.
