All over the place is literature that refers to hydrogen adsorbed in Pd
etc. as a *hydride*.
The above reference even says: "Hydrides can be roughly classified into
three main types by the nature of bonding and structure:
Ionic hydrides
Covalent hydrides
Transitional metal hydrides, interstitial hydrides."
Apples can be divided into 3 main types:
Macintoshes
Apple II's
Others
So, does this mean my Mac is not an Apple, but rather a golden
delicious?

Don't get too defensive, Horace. I do not see this an a threat to your
AEH. As all hypotheses, you might require some refinement. Consider
that the xtal lattice acts as a proton membrane, not unlike those of a
fuel cell. If you are right and the H atom cannot enter the lattice
with its electron, it IS clearly entering the lattice. But, is it the
lattice which strips the electron? And where does that electron go?
I think that you could very well be right that it is the expansion of
the H+ ion which distorts the lattice -- a reverse piezo effect?
Except in piezo, it's the EXTERNAL piezo distortion which generates the
energy; whereas, the reverse effect could draw from the virtual field.

The verbiage in patent applications must be very rigorous, especially
in the claims, but the claims generally use terminology from the
description, which then so defines that terminology.

Well, the patent HAS been rejected twice.

Of side interest I see it says: "The dihydrogen molecule (H2) shares
electron with palladium in some yet unknown manner and hides itself
within the spaces of the palladium metal crystal structure." This
person hasn't seen the literature on partial orbitals yet. 8^)

Horace, YOU can change/modify the wiki article. Insert your ideas and
see what happens!
Respectfully,
Terry
