Bursts may well be caused by Hydrino formation going hand in hand with O++ formation. Normal electrolysis can produce a slow growth in hydrinos attached to the cathode as hydrinohydride. Background radiation can produce some O++ ions, that can then catalyze shrinkage resulting in the chain reaction I previously described when discussing the Mizuno explosion. IOW heat bursts are really just miniature explosions where there is not yet enough hydrinohydride present to destroy the reactor vessel. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
