Mills may not ever see fusion in his devices - even if his theory is correct, and even if he is creating hydrinos. His means of extracting the energy to get hydrinos probably never takes them to the lowest level (1/137). Even though he calculates such a level is possible, he never gets that deep. So with his 1/4 hydrinos, he may never see any significant fusion occur because they aren't yet small enough. I am suggesting that the LENR structures may be capable of ratcheting down the hydrino to a much lower level - maybe as far as 1/137. Once it get there, it stays there, and then when an adjacent H in the linear hydroton oscillator gets ratcheted down to 1/137, they fuse. Maybe sometimes the H*2 (or an H*D* or an D*2 or a H*T* or an D*T* or a T*2) molecule (perhaps one less likely to fuse) pops off and enters a Ni atom to cause a transmutation. I am just adding the hydrino states terminology onto what Dr. Storms has already proposed for his hydroton LENR theory. What he has described seems to be hydrino states as the hydroton whittles the energy out of the H - but he doesn't uses the term hydrino. I believe that Dr. Storms does not dismiss the possibility of hydrino states. I look forward to reading his full theory when he publishes it.
