James: Hydrinos can autocatalyze, something Mills calls "disproportionation", where one Hydrino expands while another, with which it is in contact, shrinks. The net result is a further energy release. (Though one has to wonder why this wouldn't lead to an explosion.) Jones: While there are 137 Hydrino levels, only the first 24 of them can form a negative ion, the most likely form in which they would be bound in a lattice IMO. Nevertheless, shrinkage to level 24 releases a total of 24^2 x 13.6 eV = 7834 eV per Hydrino. There is of course also magnetic bonding as you suggest, which would be valid for Hydrinos of any size. It's also possible that Hydrinohydride ions get bound to Li ions, as I suggested previously, creating an entity that is either neutral of negatively charged, depending on the number of bound Hydrinohydride ions, and possibly capable of mediating neutron transfer reactions. (However, again one has to wonder why the neutral version wouldn't exit the reactor just like Hydrino molecules.) (Perhaps they catalyze enough neutron transfer reactions before they leave to make it worth while??) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
