The hydrino electron would be on average much closer to the nucleus than a normal atomic electron, thus one might expect that when the tunneling event occurs, the hydrino electron "goes along for the ride", leading to an almost immediate electron capture event. Qutie so, and this speculation has surfaced in vortex. I'm not denying this at all, and when I say that the LENR and BLP worlds may be linked at a "deeper level" I allow for such. The "Critic's Circle" on HSG have concluded that Mills' orbitsphere model itself is fatally flawed, and a private trusted source who has looked at it agrees. The trusted source indicates that the "sub-ground" state of the H atom, Mills' hydrino, is well supported in standard literature when correctly interpreted. Thus when Mills postulates a limit to hydrino shrinkage based on his model, this may in fact not exist. Thus the Cirillo paper should be looked at most carefully. The cell produces excess heat -- which could come from BLP reactions. It operates at atmospheric pressure and very intensly. The calorimetry is not good enough to determine whether the energy release is in the BLP or nucelar range. If neutron-like entities are being produced by the BLP process, then the energy release will be very high. The cell may also be producing particle condensates as postulated by Takahashi. We may be looking at a very interesting rabbit hole. Regards, Mike
