Robin, can you clarify how >Mills explains the bond and even calculates the bond strength for >many 1/n Hy-hydrides? The bond strength between the hydrino and the second electron is based on the magnetic field attraction between the two electrons. Mills does the calculation in his book, and even provides a table of binding energies for different hydrino sizes. However this is based on radius, and given that I'm still trying to figure out which of us is right about the radius, I'm not sure yet whether or not I need to recalculate the bond strengths. (I believe he only uses magnetic field energy because the hydrino is essentially a neutral particle, hence the second electron experiences no electrical field, only the magnetic field of the first electron - that's his reasoning AFAIK). Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
