The third of these is in Mills' original catalyst table, but 24 eV is too far removed from 27 eV to be useful. However the second ionization energy of He is 54.4 eV which a good match for m=2, IOW 2 x 27.2. This means that in an environment where He+ can form, Hydrino formation has a better chance. It also means that once Hydrino formation with large energy release begins, it is capable of creating more He+, and hence more catalyst ions. >This >suggests the possibility of using a HF discharge to heat a C, He, and >H containing gas, and the possible usefulness of a Mo or molybdenum >containing steel vessel or electrode.

I think this may be asking a bit much, as if it were possible, then virtually anything could act as a catalyst under those circumstances, and consequently the phenomenon should have been observed frequently almost wherever RF heating takes place (H in the form of water vapour frequently being present).
