The impetus for this [far-out] idea is based on the earlier
premise:
For instance, even without subscribing to the details of Mills'
hydrino theory - it is conceivable (but not likely) that an
easily hidden species of "redundant ground state" hydrogen is
being continuously created in the solar corona over geologic
time - and makes its way to earth in the solar wind -
First two corrections. The hypothetical particle in question will
be designated as Hy- [but in an earlier post it was dyslexicly
written as a positive ion]. This species (if real) must consists
of one proton and two electrons at 'orbitals' which are a whole
fraction of the Bohr orbital. However, this solar-derived species
may be largely incompatible with any earthly existence at all, and
yet it could still be a major component of solar wind. Believe it
or not, we do NOT presently know from real experiment just what is
in solar wind. It's all a guess now. Even the recently failed
attempt by NASA to find out was not equipped to search for this
species, Hy-, so it too would have been inconclusive.
Electrons, despite electrostatic repulsion, can display an equally
strong and balancing magnetic attraction, and often will exhibit a
very strong preference for pairing, as we know. This - even
without Mills' CQM - is a most revealing and important
observation. We might even go so far as to agree with Mills that
the Bohr orbital is NOT the sole ground state, as is generally
stated in physics textbooks, but instead is merely the first [of
many redundant ground states] at which the electron and proton
*can exist with unpaired electrons*, as opposed to paired. A
further implication is that - for every Bohr atom at normal
earth-ground-state, in the Universe as a whole, there could
possibly exist from 10 to 100 widely dispersed and 'cold' Hy-,
which ARE then defined as 'dark matter' (or at least a major
component thereof). This creates the situation of an inherent
charge-bias across the Universe. Not to mention making fools of
previous cosmology "experts" who are convinced they have it all
figured out already.
Does a charge bias, or inherent imbalance, seem to fly in the face
of observation? is it theoretically even possible? ... and before
reflexively yelling NOT POSSIBLE!
...consider that "universal expansion" itself could be a relic of
this inherent charge bias! We certainly have a charge-bias in
earth's atmosphere, which varies in layers, and is most apparent
as the so-called "fair weather field" but one of those layer may
be caused by the solar wind containing lots of Hy- instead of what
is normally envisioned = free electrons. Free solar electrons
could be almost impossible in a situation where the Sun itself has
an ever increasing positive charge bias from having already given
up 5 billion years worth of Hy-. In contrast to free electrons,
these Hy- can and do exit the corona by means of the 1837x greater
kinetic momentum which they possess, compared with free electrons.
At any rate, given the thermodynamics of the constant formation of
hydrinos in the solar corona, we might further suspect that the
average [most prevalent] hydrino paired orbital is near maximum
entropy, of perhaps n=1/7 or 1/8 (if Robin's calcs are correct).
See

however, I should add that Robin will likely disagree with parts
of this speculation. It is ironic that perceptive folks, of all
persuasion, can seldom agree on anything without first having the
ferment of a previous, and vigorous, disagreement.
The major spatial difference between hydrogen and hydrino is that
in the same volume of a typical H2 molecule, upwards to 4000 of
the solar Hy- would fit if they were not charged, but since the
charge creates a strong near-field, the actual ability to coexist
with normal matter is extremely doubtful at all, and is unknown
(to anyone other than Mills, but his present inability to harness
this species is probably meaningful). But that is not the
end-of-story for using them elsewhere, even if making them on
earth is too difficult. Stated another way, why buy the cow when
the milk's free?
OK, after this preamble (more like a pre-ramble <g>) we are back
to the Hydrino Harvester (c). I have taken the liberty of
copywriting this name and idea today for a number of reasons.
Mills, despite his admitted genius, has a history of [occasional]
plagiarizing the ideas of others without attribution. This
continues today, as many corrections in his various revised
versions of CQM resulted from the unacknowledged input from his
critics: somewhat as 'punishment' it seems for their correct
criticism, which makes it doubly wrong - but at least he does
continue to make the necessary changes in that oeuvre ... but
seldom with proper attribution. Ergo the (c).
Anyway, if the Hy- is a real species, then what follows will be of
great interest to NASA - and they should get it for free, rather
than paying BLP for it (poetic justice). If we are ever going into
interplanetary space, or even to colonize the moon, it would be of
incredible benefit to "harvest" one of the most incredible
propellants which is imaginable - and to do that by "farming" the
ionosphere of earth. Coincidentally, this is spatial layer (one
sublayer of it) is probably a gigantic but transitory repository
for solar Hy-, as they are being continually temporarily captured,
or slowed, by earth's magnetic field. Very few may actually get to
earth's surface, although megatons arrive daily, are slowed and
then continue on towards the Oort cloud and beyond.
It makes sense that a magnetic, or electrostatic "Harvester" for
these solar-derived hydrinos, placed into low earth-orbit, in a
part of the ionosphere where NASA has never wanted to place
satellites before (for the obvious reasons), could collect and
"neutralize" Hy-s to then be used later for a propellant in
interplanetary, or interstellar, exploration. IOW one might
imagine several hundred relatively cheap robot harvesters, which
contain permanent magnets, a supply of potassium to neutralize
with, and an AI computer brain (son of X-box). After scavenging
the ionosphere for a few weeks, the robot-collectors will
rendezvous with a space-tanker and transfer the booty and go out
again, powered by induction from the same materials they are
capturing. Simple, on paper, no?
Well, OK - if this doesn't pan out in practicality, it might be
the premise for a good Sci-Fi tale --
We might call it: "Just Say NO! : The Revolt of the Hy Robots" or
something along those lines...
