ArH_3 ^+ is long time stable and Ar H_3 ^+ is the driving factor in
Mills original SUNCELL reaction. In fact H_3 ^+ is the most abundant
form of Hydrogen in deep space. About H* we do not yet know.
In Mills theory this emission would be related minimally to multiples of
27.2 eV so even if the reaction goes no further that a single redundant
hydrogen orbital reduction, an attractive scenario for net gain would
exist - even if the protons are lost after a single pass and must be
continually replace by electrolysis of water.
For a magnetic resonance any coupling mass must be of same size and
topology 27.2eV is just one good sample that works. But this has nothing
to do with Mills model. It's just a lucky fit.
The production of H*-H* as Mills does it in teh SUN-CELL is very risky
as nobody so far knows about its biological impact. I would stay far
away. Only a follow-up
H*-H*+Any-isotope add-on LENR reaction would reduce the risk.

An interesting proposition for an advanced transportation fuel would
be presented to us - IF (big if) hydrogen can be routinely converted
into a denser form on a catalyst, and then expanded in a piston engine
configuration. This concept would relate to using argon as a "pseudo
oxidizer." Argon is not exactly "inert" to the same extent as helium
and other Column eight atoms (Vlll on the periodic table).
AFAIK this exact concept, when transposed into a piston engine
configuration, has never been explored... or has it? There is the Papp
engine, which used argon and other inert gases but did not use
hydrogen; and there is the Laumann engine which included oxygen with
argon and no surface catalyst -- but neither of those is precisely the
same.
According to Wiki, "argonium" is the name for *argon hydride* which
is**a (1+) ion species formed by combining a proton with argon into a
short-lived molecule (2+ millisecond) life - which has a surprising
strong binding energy. Argonium is actually found to be relatively
common in interstellar space, despite this short lifetime.
In a piston engine a short lifetime could actually be put to good use
if an asymmetry exists due to the Mills effect. It would act as a
thermal sink.
Imagine a closed cycle piston engine which recirculates the two gases
H2 ans Ar in such a way that under compression (at TDC) the two are
combined on a catalyst surface (such as nickel, palladium, iridium
etc) allowing for net energy to be freed as UV photons, which gain
would be the result of some combination of the ion binding energy
along with a redundant orbital photon emission less the ionization
loss - as described by Mills, Holmlid etc.
In Mills theory this emission would be related minimally to multiples
of 27.2 eV so even if the reaction goes no further that a single
redundant hydrogen orbital reduction, an attractive scenario for net
gain would exist - even if the protons are lost after a single pass
