Hi,

First, we can note that after the hydrogen is released from LiAlH4, the
lithium remains alloyed to aluminum, since there is no intrinsic mechanism
to separate the metals below the Li boiling point of 1342 °C which is

Hi,

To back up a bit as far back as the early nineties, lithium was claimed to
be responsible for most of the energy gain in electrolytic reactions, since
as an doubly positive ion, Li has the characteristic energy
The boiling point for Li in side a nano particle may occur at a different
temperature than 1342 C. The local electric and magnetic conditions may
make a big difference in how tight the Li is bound to the Al.

You noted:
Once the catalytic reaction is complete, the newly formed Li++ ion may
then, at
it's own discretion, reacquire a pair of electrons from the environment,
becoming neutralized in the process, after which it is once again available
to
act as a catalyst for another shrinkage reaction.
Quite aside from the business consequences of his comments, my perception
of Mills is that the failure of the LENR community to take his theory more
seriously -- particularly given the LENR community's theoretic poverty --
is bad science, independent of the quality of the empirical work of the

Mills recently had more uncomplimentary things to say about recent LENR
research. See SCP thread: a mixture of nickel and lithium aluminum hydride

Sigh . . . I had forgotten what a jerk Mills can be.
He owes everything to Fleischmann Pons -- as do we all. If they had not
published, he never would have thought to do his first experiments.

Its not clear that he owes everything to Fleischmann Pons. If they had
not published, he might well have developed his theory from his original
motivation, which was high temperature superconductivity. Given fractional
Rydberg states its clear that their pusuit would be a new source of
energy.

His first experiments were electrochemical with nickel, similar to FP's
experiments with Pd. As I recall, he said he was prompted to do them by the
reports of cold fusion.
He also repeatedly
