From: "Standing Bear"
making hydrinos must be a little harder than Mills has
admitted.
That is becoming clear and it should be obvious why that would be
so -- for the simple reason that it requires *free atomic
hydrogen* to exist in proximity to extremely hot catalyst ions for
a fairly substantial time period (relative to the normal
time-frame that hydrogen would remain free and unionized). The
"relative" part comes into play because - and this may be
important even though you have never heard it stated this way: the
catalyst ion with a net positive charge will still have a negative
near-field, since the ion is still surrounded by many electrons...
which will repel the near-field of atomic hydrogen in a cool
plasma. And if the plasma is hot enough to propel the oncoming H
past this near-field barrier - then that plasma is generally hot
enough to have already ionized the H atom instead. See the
problem?
Think about free atomic hydrogen. Not protons. Not H2 molecules.
Not hydrogen ions of any variety - ONLY neutral atomic hydrogen
will do. And all of these hydrogen species are far more likely to
turn up in a warm plasma than free atomic hydrogen. If the plasma
is hotter you get protons and if it is colder you get either
molecules or molecular ions but almost never (percentage wise) do
you find the necessary "raw material" for this reaction on earth
(except perhaps within a metal matrix ;-) These parameters make it
the rarest of the rare situation here - but not in the solar
corona, where parameters may be much more favorable ?? who knows
but in fact there could be several pathways for them to form in
those conditions. With the intense gravitation, hydrino=hydrides
may form easily in one step from a flux of protons and tightly
paired electrons. Many observers tend to agree with Mills'
assessment that a large fraction of the heat of the sun is due to
this reaction - rather than to the complex fusion pathway as is
generally accepted, and that explains the solar neutrino problem
better than the kludges which are now resorted to.
I'm pretty sure that the first stage reaction for hydrinos is also
far more reversible (re-inflation)than Mills admits-to; and that
the production of useful quantities of hydrinos on earth may be
hopeless. After burning through $50 million, RM has a couple of
vials full, but that is not going to provide cheap energy or
anything else,
Until NASA finds out for sure what the solar wind consists-of ...
as it enters the ionosphere - we will not know if there is any
chance of using this potentially gigantic resource. To repeat a
lament which has been expressed here before: Seven years after
launch, NASA's "Stardust" space capsule returned recently with a
bit of comet debris. Will they even look for hydrinos? They are
probably in there - from the Oort cloud. At least the parachute
opened this time, already giving Stardust more success than its
predecessor - the "Genesis" solar wind mission last year, which
crashed in Utah after its chute failed to open. Dammit. Many
observers really wanted to know if there are substantial hydrinos
in the solar wind or not - but no one is sure if NASA is even
prepared or equipped to look for them.
OTOH - since we know from the aftermath of the Rowan work for NASA
which you mentioned that some key people at NASA do have an
appreciation for this - there is always the possibility that the
whole story about the "failure" of the "Genesis" solar wind
mission last year was invented or exaggerated as part of a secrecy
plan - so that they would not alert our enemies and competitors
(China, USSR, and maybe even the Euros) that they did find a
"harvestable" resource.

... Sorry for that last paragraph. How could anyone be so cynical
of Governmental motives?
