It doesn't exist because the energy required to oxidize even a
first level hydrino is at least 10 times larger than any normal
chemical bond energy.
Wait, I thought there were many hydrino compounds? Can a
hydrino form a covalent bond or not?
I suspect that one answer is that ionic bonds are definitely
favored, and that true covalent bonding many be as difficult as
with the noble gases, except apparently for the dihydrino, which
is mentioned so often by Mills that it must have some sort of
preferential structure.
The more interesting thing to me is - given the small size and
extreme density of moderately shrunken hydrinos, how does one
contain them? No alloy or ceramic has covalent bonding tight
enough to contain hydrinos of n=8 or so.
Here is a site that consideres the properties of solid hydrogen -
from which we can derive the properties of the hydrino at high
shrinkage.
http://www.tvu.com/EngPropsSH2Web.htm
Crystal Structure ---------------- High Temperature (>4 K) -
hexagonal close packed (hcp)* (low pressure)
Density ------------------------------ 22.7 cm 3/mole, 0.088 g/cm3
(does not vary significantly with ortho/para concentration)
Since density varies as a cubic relationship with diameter, at the
first redundant ground state n=2 the density witll be 8 times
higher. At n=6 the density of hydrinos is about 19 g/cc ot about
the same as uranium. It should be a solid at STP abouve n=5 or 6.
At n=7, however, the density soars to over 30 g/cc which is much
higher than osmium, the densest known element.
Mills claims to have made and collected n=8 which would have to be
contained as an ionic compund, as its density is over 45 g/cc
almost twice that of osmium. And its size is so small it would
sink through any containment like a sponge, if it were not bound
somehow.
Has anyone considered that the core of earth (and especailly
Jupiter and the gas giants) may be filled not with iron but with
hydrinos of greater than n=8.
So anwer me this, Subcommander Supremo. What are the implications
of a hydrino core?
