I completely disagree Axil, the Mizuno endothermic (or Ahern endothermic) observation is not at all catastrophic.
You said: This contemplation of an endothermic mechanism is a catastrophic sacrilege > of epic proportions for Ed because it violates his beloved and inviolable > laws of thermodynamics. > Once you have a coupled resonant structure, such as Ed's hydroton, and if you include the concept that within the hydroton could exist fractional Rydberg state H (like Mills), then you have a structure that can also absorb energy. Resonant structures make great receivers as well as transmitters. The resonant structure provides the evanescent coupling to the fractional state H atoms. These atoms can be elevated from their fractional state by evanescent coupling as well as being lowered in fractional state through the same evanescent coupling. Depending on the state of the system, it seems plausible that such resonant structures could absorb a significant amount of energy and elevate fractional state hydrogen atoms to a state closer to ground state.
