Robin,
A simplistic explanation is that much Ar40 may actually be K39
with a "chemically" bound hydrinohydride attached. The bond
strength would be at most 70 eV, allowing for slow but regular
exchange. As "Argon" it is chemically inert, and hence gaseous,
while without the hydrinohydride, it reverts to true Potassium
and
once again becomes an ion ending up back in the water.
I like this! ... But the 70 eV is probably in error in the
end-product - that applies to the initial hydride bond which
becomes moot once absorbed. This would likely happen very quickly
in the oceans.
It would seem that solar-derived hydrinos (of high shrinkage) will
certainly accumulate in the oceans of Earth over geologic time (if
they are real - and produced in the solar corona - then this
process is a given). The potassium preferentially bonds with them,
but due to the small radius they lodge well within the electron
cloud - perhaps mostly at the normal k-shell radius WRT the
nucleus.
ERGO that is EXACTLY why you get this typical k-shell energy level
of 3672 eV - and subsequent Auger cascade - when the hydrino is
forced out by applied energy, as in the numerous laser implosion
studies which show this. This is the critical detail and proof.
Mainstream science is calling it "efficient" radiation. HA ! If
they only knew !
Cool. It now seems so obvious. I can't believe that Mills himself
has missed this !!
Now - if we could just figure out how to enrich this entity from
normal Argon gas. It would be the same size and atomic weight, but
possibly not quite as chemically inert, even though the outer
shell is technically full. However - it should have a vastly
different magnetic moment.
From the spectra in this studies, I would guess that it must exist
in the 100 ppm range of the normal gaseous Argon which is bought
from a supplier. Get that up to 1% and you've got one heck of a
fuel - certainly manufacturable at home for automotive and home
power... but (sadly ;-) eliminating the middleman... And that is
why this info needs to be put in the public domain ASAP.
Better yet: Get it up to 100% and you've got the ways-and-means
for interstellar space travel ...
... say, maybe that is why this whole thing has been
semi-officially ignored by the powers-that-be...and, say, what is
that silent black helicopter doing outside my window this morning?
Before I am neutralized (and be glad you are in Oz) let me ask.
What shall we call this fraction of normal Argon - "Special-K" ?
"Hy-K" ? "K2R" ?
Wow. This is most interesting...
