Bob and Dave--
I was surprised by Mill’s lack of any input power statement. He seemed to
avoid the issue with only discussion of amps of current during, I assumed each
millisecond cycle. The exact timing of the voltage at 10 volts vs the
amperage at the same time would be more instructive. The very high
temperatures—as I recall, 4000 to 5000 degrees Kelvin would make the design of
the plasma confinement difficult. Cooling dependent upon the actual power
input from the initial current as well as the reaction, whatever it might be,
would be a good energy balance to present. It was not discussed.
The idea of making the device good for a car to justify its rapid introduction
commercially was just a pipe dream for gullible investors in my mind.
I do not know if his discussion of the cosmic dark matter issues were
consistent with observed background radiation spectra. If what he suggested is
true it would seem to add to his hydrino theory.
Lastly, the evidence for the heavy hydrogen that he claims is produced would be
nice to provide. For example, an x-ray diffraction image of his dense
molecular form of the hydrino would help confirm its existence. He made much
of the ability of his theory to confirm the dimensions of normal molecules (or
crystals) I think.

Dave,
I am not sure what you say is entirely true. The 10V source can provide direct
heating to a certain temperature, and can create a plasma from electron impact.
A plasma is comprised of ionized gas. However, the ions don't need to be bare
nuclei, and typically are not for anything but a hydrogen plasma. Normally 1
or 2 electrons are lost from the ions, in this case, Ag in vapor phase. The
10V can produce electron ionization up to about 10eV energy. This would
correspond to a deep UV photon of 124nm (produced during restoration of the
electron), which can reach fairly deep into the shells of the Ag atoms.
However, the spectrum Mills showed contained soft x-ray, probably in the 100eV
range (I could not read the axis of the graph he showed). Even this probably
does not represent ionization (and re-combination) of the inner shells of the
Ag electron orbitals. But, achieving 100eV soft x-ray ionization with 10eV
needs some explanation. Mills would say it came from catalyzed shrinkage of
the hydrogen orbital to a fractional quantum state. The question is, could it
have come from an alternative mechanism? For example, in the very strong
magnetic field, could multiple 10eV electrons contribute to an 100eV
ionization? What else could be responsible?

I have a comment regarding the source voltage and the spectrum generated by a
plasma heated by that voltage. The 10 volt supply can be used to generate
heating of the plasma due to the power absorbed by the plasma. The resulting
high temperature can ionize the plasma by itself and therefore the radiation
energy that results from the recombination of the electron with the ion should
be independent of the supply voltage.
If my above thought process is accurate then a 1 volt source would be capable
of initiating 10 eV radiation if it can supply enough local heat to the system
and that energy of radiation is possible when the ion recombines. Perhaps we
should not be too concerned about the source voltage and instead concentrate
upon the source power.

I think Mills also mentioned soft x-rays early on, which are in the low
keV. And the spectrum he spent time discussing had an endpoint somewhere above
100 eV. Such photons would presumably come from the excitation of inner shell
electrons in heavier elements such as silver.
I recall that the photons were mostly broadband, while emissions from
de-excitation of inner shell electrons would be characteristic (sharp). So if
the broadband spectra went back to energetic beta electrons, perhaps they were
due to bremsstrahlung instead.
