howdy mike, here is my reading of the phenomena that mills is describing: he heats atoms (puts energy in) which causes one or more electrons to be excited to a higher energy state. when an electron "falls" back to whence it came, it gives off energy, which can be in the form of light. the wavelength of the light emitted is a function of the energy given off in returning to the ground state. As best I can tell, mills says that the wavelength of light emitted represents more energy the the excitation energy. remember now all this depends on the observation of the wavelength of light emitted (in the UV- get it? black light? blacklight power? I'm not a spectroscopic but my guess is that this only happens when he has a "catalyst" present. maybe a normal electronic transition of the catalyst is being observed, rather than the creation of a new state of matter.
in fact when you think about it catalysts only make reactions happen faster than they would without them. surely since the big bang 12 or so billion years ago some of the atoms would have gotten to this state without a catalyst, yet they are not observed anywhere in the universe, except mills lab. strange indeed. I recall a few, well maybe a bunch of years back Uri Geller was able to convince a bunch of physicists no less that he was actually bending spoons via psychokinesis. He wasn't. http://uri-geller.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_uri-geller_archive.html Jack Sarfatti - PhD, Physicist "My personal judgement as a PhD physicist is that Uri Geller demonstrated genuine psychoenergetic ability at Birkbeck which is beyond the doubt of any reasonable man, under relatively well-controlled and repeated experimental conditions. ". but not so fast, http://skepdic.com/geller.html "If Uri Geller bends spoons with divine powers, then he's doing it the hard way." —James Randi "Because a good magician can do something shouldn't make you right away jump to the conclusion that it's a real phenomenon." —Richard Feynman "Geller is at his ingenious best in laboratories where he is being observed by scientists who believe he has extraordinary ESP ability and think—without justification—that they have ruled out every possibility of fraud." —Milbourne Christopher and here is one for you conspiracy theorists: http://www.unca.edu/news/releases/2005/Maas.html Richard P. Maas, a UNC Asheville environmental studies professor and one of the nation’s leading water quality researchers, died Dec. 12, 2005, following a brief illness. He was 54. note that he is (was)a water quality dude, not alternative energy as claimed in the article. I am still not convinced of anything real here. As noted below, apparently mills was demonstrating this in 1996. why hasn't he produced energy? and just what does he do with his new state of matter? why aren't samples sent to labs to confirm that in fact he has produced a new state of matter? all one would have to do is burn some of his "hydrinos" and compare the emission spectra with that of normal hydrogen- it should be simple, he needn't give away any secrets as to how he produced the new state of matter, etc. check out the image at: http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/blacklight_power_000522.html he shows a vial with a white crystalline material which contains what he claims is hydrino hydride. this has a molecular wt of 2, but it is a solid- amazing indeed?
