A neglected paper and fringe theory, which may stand up to closer scrutiny, appeared last year from Romania. It addresses the Kervran effect and the Mills hydrino with a vortex model somewhat reminiscent of the recent "Berry" superconductor theory.
https://medcraveonline.com/PAIJ/PAIJ-04-00204.pdf The Kervran effect has an overlooked connection to one of the most convincing experiments ever in LENR, involving the company Thermacore, Inc ... and their work with Randell Mills plus the eventual patent nearly 30 years ago. The important paper from that era has been removed from the BLP site: Thermacore, Inc. "Final Report, SBIR Phase I, Nascent Hydrogen: An Energy Source." The Thermacore Patent, now expired, is 5,273,635 from 1993 Inventors: Gernert, Shaubach, and Ernst Note: Randell Mills is NOT listed as co-inventor. Nor did they mention the Kervran effect, but the did document a characteristic emission line at 54.4 eV which Mills predicted. There was no radioactivity. One wonders in hindsight if they would have found calcium after the year long run, should they have looked. Another missed opportunity?Consider this quote from Thermacore: "Light water electrolytic experiments at Thermacore show positive results. The most outstanding example is a cell producing 41 watts of heat with only 5 watts of electrical input. The cell has operated continuously for over one year..." That is a COP of 8, claimed by experts. It bears repeating: THE CELL OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY FOR OVER ONE YEAR, and remember, this statement is not coming from some fly-by-night self-promoting entrepreneur, nor even university professors who are ignorant of manufacturing realities - but instead it comes from one of the most well-respected of high-tech firms in the World, in thermal engineering. This is the firm which invented the heat-pipe and other related devices. Yet it all came to naught. Go figure.
