Richard,
One other thing turned up in my mini-quest to ascertain if there were
any valid alternative energy aspects - to be found in the various
allotrope's of oxygen....
This particular company/patent/consultant (ARAN) may be where you
started, as it seems that you have been at this pursuit for a while,
while the subject just recently stirred my interest a couple of days ago
(but for obvious reasons, since an efficient source of this species (aka
- "polyoxygen") if made cheaply from air would be of interest in the
manufacture of HOOH. Certainly however, if it were cheap enough AND a
liquid at near RT - AND at the same time, relatively stable (that is
unclear) then who needs peroxide?
There is also the claim (unsubstantiated) that NASA is already using
polyoxygen, and will be accelerating that use, but that seems unlikely,
as the last shuttle launch still had the foam insulation - and something
as basic as a "new fuel" would leak out (the news, not the diozone).
Anyway here is a reference, and I will try to dig deeper into the
missing details, when time permits:

This outfit, as you will realize if you can wade through their tons of
BS - is big on self-promotion and tiny on demonstrable lab results
(typical LA!). They apparently got a patent and are trying to sell it to
a deep pocket funder, or to get the DoD, or anyone else in government
(Tom Ridge - LOL) interested.
I do not sense that their gambit will work, without some real and
demonstrable lab results, but who knows.
Anyway - there is something they missed in the whole scenario, and that
is the use of a "natural" nano-template for getting the species to form
under high pressure - 2800 psi or so. I haven't fleshed-out the
dimensional details yet, but if you are going somewhere with this, I
will forward them to you first - should the math hold up under closer
scrutiny, and it does seem possible at first blush that the particular
template will work (on paper at least).
