The document referred to by Axil show that the energy holding capacitors are wired up in series/parallel so that they can only deliver an open circuit voltage of a bit greater than 5 volts. The design reminds me of a rail gun where the conductive silver fuel drops act as a switch that allows the high current to flow. It is also apparent that Mills has designed a low inductance circuit which allows for a very large current and di/dt to exist.
There is reason to suspect that most of the open circuit supply voltage would be dropped within the network series inductance during the short pulse so I would expect to see quite a bit less than 5 volts appearing across the plasma and highly conductive silver drop. This is especially true if the active pulse is short in duration. But, a short drive pulse duration also suggests less drive power requirement per pulse. I am curious about the effects of the extremely large current pulse conducted through the fuel drop. Would the resulting magnetic forces tend to drive the drip outwards or compress it by some pinch action? After all, a rail gun projects the shell quite strongly in one direction.

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.

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?

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.

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. Eric
