One more thought on hydrogen allotropes before moving on... In snooping around on the net, I stumbled on a new-to-me blog called "Water Fuel LLC" which contained a post about Mass Chromathgraphy, allotropes, and electrolyzed water, mentioning what would be an unusual finding, if true.
"Mass Chromatography is a scientific procedure that create data pertaining to the masses of molecular constituents within a target medium. By analyzing such data, considering known atomic components, it can be determined with reasonable accuracy the particular molecular formations that exist within a data sample. For instance, if a sample consists of hydrogen and oxygen, and Mass Chromatography is performed, and there is a prominent peak at AMU 5, given that Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 the only explanation is a 5 atom allotrope of hydrogen." OK - this would be a GS reading (GC-MS) from so-called "Brown's Gas" aka "hydroxy". Note that the author is NOT saying that he actually confirmed this peak at 5, and I plan to write for clarification. You may be familiar with the name Santilli - who has been around the water-fuel field for a long time and recently partnered with Denny Klein to get even more notoriety (or accusations of extreme crankiness, as the case may be) and he is the apparent source for this mass-5 claim. It does not seem that he has mentioned a mass-5 allotrope by that name, but he may have presented a graph with a significant peak at 5 amu and the claim that this is what makes hydroxy (common duct electrolyzed water) more energetic than stoichometric H2 and O2. What is/was this peak (assuming it was a strong and persistent peak) and assuming it can be replicated in BG? This is most interesting to consider that at the molecular level, since atoms bounce around between hosts on a short time scale, as if they were unbound. That much is beyond dispute. And yet - it actually indicates why an allotrope of hydrogen would be difficult to maintain over time. What is in question here is the effective lifetime of such a peak, if it exists in BG, and also the possibility that it would be stabilized in a liquid fuel at LN temps. Perhaps this putative particle (allotrope) would consist of two normal H2 molecules bound with one hydrino. That is my take on it for now, since Santilli's technique, whether he knows it or not, probably produces some hydrinos. That would give mass 5 and would be consistent with what Mills has reported, since Mills never claimed that the samples he created were ALL hydrinos (which I would suspect might look quite different). At any rate, this is not just a casual curiousity, folks. At least if the peak is there and is persistent. In fact, it is the kind of breakthrough which could end up as one key opening the vaunted (and way over-hyped) "hydrogen age" ... since a liquid fuel at LN temps makes sense for many uses, including automotive.
