Oh, come on Fred, "Nope" is not an answer.

In Joe's original engine, AFAIK the Aluminium tube butted up against the side of the intake manifold (no hole). IOW, whatever came out of the cell had to pass through solid metal to enter the air stream. H3O* wouldn't be able to do this, whereas e.g H[n=1/26] could easily. BTW I presume your "light leptons" could too. > >OTOH. the Microvaving Wet Bricks experiment suggests >that the Argon in the air trapped in the bricks reacts with/catalyzes the >(H3O*) formed from contact of the water with the brick >"interstices" setting off your/Mills' proposed Hydrino Reaction. Wet bricks get hot in microwave ovens because they contain water molecules. Dry bricks don't get hot, because in a solid lattice there is very little freedom of movement for charged particles, as opposed to the considerable freedom available to dipolar molecules in a liquid. > >OTOH II, how many KW-Hrs might one expect from >a bottle of Argon gas and a few liters of water >set off by a microwave pulse in the cylinders of an ICE >turning a generator? This is close to what we wanted try a few years back. Unfortunately, the engine seals leaked like a sieve.
