Unfortunately, I think that "quasi neutrons" would survive not much longer than free ordinary neutrons. Both are rapidly thermalized, and would likely soon be absorbed into another nucleus. How long do free neutrons survive in a fission reactor once the process is shut down? Not longer than a few seconds (if that) I suspect. > >At which point it will very likely eventually drift into the >strong force field of one of the (protons) of the hydrogen of >water, becoming an energy poor deuteron. I don't think there is any such thing as an energy poor deuteron. When the weak force reaction takes place, energy is released. If there is initially less energy available, as in the case of quasi neutrons, then it just means that the final energy release is less by the difference between the energy of the quasi neutron and the energy of a real neutron. However the final product, the deuteron, always has the same mass. >This is the population >which I am trying to identify and which Mizuno has apparently >discovered.

Note that by neutron, I mean the product of a weak force reaction, i.e. a real neutron. Quasi neutrons (actually severely shrunken hydrinos) OTOH are by definition energy poor. Note also that the definition of "energy paucity" depends on the physical environment. I.e. a real neutron that is a free particle has more mass than a neutron in a nucleus, but neither are "energy poor", despite having different energies (masses). IOW being energy poor means having less mass than the equivalent particle in the same situation. A free quasi neutron is "energy poor" because it has less mass than a free neutron, even though the free quasi neutron has more mass than a bound neutron. > >At any rate - the aim is to find a way that over geologic time, >most of the solar Hy arriving in the solar wind (or ab initio) >might have been already efficiently converted to the speices which >Mizuno has found.... be it deuterino or the alternative, which >would be a normal deuteron with an enegy-poor neturon.

Deuterinos are far more likely to produce an Oppenheimer-Phillips reaction than ordinary deuterons, because the reduced Coulomb barrier in the case of deuterinos makes a close approach to the nucleus far easier.

If the ratio of D/H is higher here than on the Sun, then it would seem to imply that Deuterons are forming on Earth. Is the ratio here higher or lower? If they are forming here, then hydrino capture may well be the mechanism. > > > The chances that "hydrino water" would be essentially >> indistinguishable from normal water (or even liquid) are slim. > >Not if redfeined as above!

Since I don't believe in energy poor neutrons, I will not look through your telescope! ;) Now that said, I do think there may be dihydrino molecular ions masquerading as deuterons, and yes, these may well take the place of hydrogen in ordinary water. A dihydrino molecular ion is a quasi neutron that has become chemically bound to a bare proton. I.e. two protons sharing a single severely shrunken electron. It looks just like a hydrogen molecular ion (i.e. a hydrogen molecule that is missing an electron), but much smaller. To the outside world, it looks much like a fat deuteron. It has a mass of about 2 amu, and a single positive charge. The difference between this critter and a real deuteron is that at the core or this thing there are actually two protons rather than a proton and a neutron. > >> I suspect that this may be more readily explained by a dihydrino >> molecular ion masquerading as a deuterium nucleus. > >I think not, because of the initial rarity of hydrinos, and the >resultant low probability of hydrinos hooking up with each other >before they do something else. This isn't necessary to produce them. They form easily when a hydrino combines with an ordinary proton (of which there are plenty). In fact this may be the fate of all hydrinos in an aqueous environment that shrink past level 24, after which they can no longer hold on to a second electron in the same shrunken orbit as the first electron, assuming they haven't fused by that time.
