-----Original Message----- From: Horace HeffnerAll over the place is literature that refers to hydrogen adsorbed in Pd etc. as a *hydride*.
The above reference even says: "Hydrides can be roughly classified into three main types by the nature of bonding and structure:
Ionic hydrides Covalent hydrides Transitional metal hydrides, interstitial hydrides." Apples can be divided into 3 main types: Macintoshes Apple II's OthersSo, does this mean my Mac is not an Apple, but rather a golden delicious?
<><><><><><>Don't get too defensive, Horace. I do not see this an a threat to your AEH. As all hypotheses, you might require some refinement. Consider that the xtal lattice acts as a proton membrane, not unlike those of a fuel cell. If you are right and the H atom cannot enter the lattice with its electron, it IS clearly entering the lattice. But, is it the lattice which strips the electron? And where does that electron go?
I think that you could very well be right that it is the expansion of the H+ ion which distorts the lattice -- a reverse piezo effect? Except in piezo, it's the EXTERNAL piezo distortion which generates the energy; whereas, the reverse effect could draw from the virtual field.
<><><><><><>The verbiage in patent applications must be very rigorous, especially in the claims, but the claims generally use terminology from the description, which then so defines that terminology.
<><><><><><> Well, the patent HAS been rejected twice. <><><><><><>Of side interest I see it says: "The dihydrogen molecule (H2) shares electron with palladium in some yet unknown manner and hides itself within the spaces of the palladium metal crystal structure." This person hasn't seen the literature on partial orbitals yet. 8^)
<><><><><><>Horace, YOU can change/modify the wiki article. Insert your ideas and see what happens!
