In a previous posting - the hypothesis of a version of LENR which is based on interactions of the fractional lithium positive ion, f/Li+ was introduced. This is a natural outgrowth of an expanded concept of fractional hydrogen, in its various forms. https://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/msg102566.html Others have previously suggested that the "lithino" should exist if the hydrino-hydride of Mills is real. This is a sound argument (I do not know the original proponent) which logically predicts that ground state redundancy could be a function of several light atoms which are stable with only a single filled 1s orbital. This limits the concept to hydrogen, lithium and helium. Even when the hypothesis is limited to two electrons in a tighter 1s orbital (similar to hydrino-hydride) a lithium species should look similar to the Mills version, only heavier - but forms under a revised (non-Millsean) theory- which is NOT based on 137 Rydberg steps -only on a handful of fractional states which also represent FQHE electron composites, and at high temperature. There are many of these levels in common. http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.2930 The original theory of hydrogen ground state redundancy comes from Randell Mills, but this new version goes well beyond that - and in a completely different direction by replacing Rydberg energy steps with FQHE electrons. In fact, the fractionalization step itself should be endothermic, not exothermic as Mills proclaims. All of the gain (if there is any) comes later - after a population of f/Li+ has been created, in situ. But then again, if Mills understood fractionalization better, he would probably have more to show to the world than 25 years of failure-to-commercialize - along with at least $120 million of fruitless investment from patient funders. The fractional quantum Hall effect is normally expressed as two-dimensional state of cold grouped electrons; but for this hypothesis, the electrons are intrinsic to composite atoms, still in 2D - and importantly "coldness" becomes a function of dimensionality. Everything in 2D is cold and dense and looks like a collective state when viewed from 3D. Furthermore, both Mills' version and the FQHE version could exist side-by-side with each other - and are NOT mutually exclusive, especially when a Rydberg value aligns fairly closely with the FQHE fractional value. The FQHE version of LENR is based on successful experimental results - in which lithium plays the prominent role, and in which gain comes from secondary gamma-free reactions of hydrogen with f/Li+ which probably do not include real fusion - but something less. Bottom line - the gain in these systems could be fusion, or not - but it is nuclear and it operates to convert mass-to-energy. That is really all one needs to know: nuclear but not fusion; no or few gammas; mass-to-energy conversion; accelerated by nano-nickel and based on a population of fractional lithium which requires a time delay to accumulate.
