0.5E-10 x 1/200 = 0.25E-12 = 250E-15, OK but may I suggest fm rather than "F" (symbol for Farad) I recall reading that muon catalyzed fusion couldn't produce excess heat, is this true, and why? > According to Mills, the radius of the Hydrino goes as the inverse > of the shrinkage level, i.e. the smallest would be BR/137 ~= 386 > F. > According to me it goes as the inverse square of the level, which > would mean that to get to 256 F, it would have to shrink to level > 15. Why such a discrepancy? What's the radius law for normal hydrogen levels? > I was looking at CNO reactions in stars today, Not from too close I hope!

This would be nice, all is needed is sufficiently shrunken hydrinos, but how do you get those? Cheers, Michel
