In CQM, the O++ first absorbs 54 eV from the Hydrino, becoming O+++ in the process. Then later, the O+++ recaptures the lost electron to become O++ again, reemitting the 54 eV that it absorbed from the Hydrino. Usually it doesn't stop there, but also grabs as many other loose electrons as it can get it's paws on, trying to become O--. In the mean time, having relinquished 54 eV to O++, the Hydrino has become unstable and promptly drops to a stable level dumping even more energy in the process. > >ERGO one might ask this pregnant question: > >... in the superthermite reaction, where aluminum appears to "steal" two >oxygen ions from iron oxide - and the result is an apparent 2xHartree energy >gain - is this some kind of redundant ground state but hydrino-less reaction >which involves oxygen, not hydrogen, facilitating the exchange by appearing to >have a reduced orbital ? I have wondered about He iso H undergoing shrinkage, and have previously also suggested that perhaps virtually any nucleus could steal a shrunken electron from a Hydrino. However I doubt that there is really anything like this going on in "super thermite". From the very little that I have read, I get the impression that it just reacts faster than normal because the particles are (much) smaller. See your own quote:- >"The advantage (of using nanometals) is in how fast you can >get their energy out," Son says.
