The model on my web page allows for radii shrinking as the square of the quantum number. Mills' limit of the inverse fine structure constant for the maximum level of shrinkage is correct, in as much as by that time the "orbital" velocity of the electron would need to equal the speed of light. According to my model, however that limit is never reached, because increasing kinetic energy is paid for by decreasing rest mass of the electron, and a point is reached where the decrease in rest mass would not be enough to supply the increase in kinetic energy required. This happens at about n=1/120. At that level of n, the radius would be 1/120^2 x a0 = 3.675 F, which is approximately nuclear dimensions. IOW long before it reached it's practical shrinkage limit, the hydrino would be small enough to get close enough for nuclear reactions to occur in "very reasonable" times. In fact it should be possible at that size to fuse it with almost any element from the periodic table. Considering that muon catalyzed fusion occurs at a distance of a0/207 = 255.6 F in times possibly as short as 1E-23 seconds, fusion reactions with hydrinos should be possible in roughly the same time frame when n=sqrt(1/207) ~= 1/14. In short, don't expect to find many hydrino compounds where n << 1/14. :) >cell produces excess heat -- which could come from BLP reactions. It >operates at atmospheric pressure and very intensly.

The thing that bothers me most about this is that if hydrinos are producing nuclear reactions, then I would expect to see at least the occasional gamma ray. (Though there may be possible particle reactions that are far more probable than gamma ray production). > >The cell may also be producing particle condensates as postulated by >Takahashi. We may be looking at a very interesting rabbit hole. Indeed. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk All SPAM goes in the trash unread.
