The notion that BLP reactions may contribure to
observed excess heat in CF cells has been making the rounds, and it is something
to watch for. I want caution about unbounded speculation.
First, CF cells using potassium carbonate as an
electrolyte may produce BLP reactions with either D2O or H2O. That was Mills'
first experimental choice. It is the K+ ion which is the catalyst. K+++ may be
produced in plasma electrolysis cells. O++ is a catalyst, as is H itself in a
three-body reaction. The reaction rates may be quite low, but so are the heat
signatures.
Some have speculated that very shrunken hydrinos
may take on a neutron-like character and intiate a special form of nuclear
reactions. While Mills has postulated 1/137 hydrinos, I don't think anything
past 1/7 has been detected with any certainty.
Speculation is fine, but it also proper to temper
it with the current experimental observaitons.
