[snip] Not necessarily, because hydrinohydride could undergo new chemical reactions (i.e. form strange "salts") which could bind any excess oxygen as a solid. (Though I am somewhat grasping at straws here).
Laying all my cards on the table, I would say first, that not all cells are sealed, and secondly that it is highly likely that putative hydrinos are not responsible for all forms of CF, though IMO they may be responsible for at least some past reports of excess heat. In short, I tend to agree with you that there is likely to be *at least* one form of CF/LENR/CANR, that has nothing to do with hydrinos. However I think it's going too far to say that hydrinos have been definitively ruled out as a contender in some cases. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk All SPAM goes in the trash unread.
