Mills is seeing, he seems to claim, reliable results, but it's codeposition.
You probably mean Miles.
Yeah, Miles. I should have picked up. Mills, of course, is not
claiming controlled cold fusion something else.
I mean Mills with his hydrinos and his contract with the
RadiciGroup. I don't believe it, but I sure don't not believe it!
Any company that makes EUR 957 million must be taken seriously, even
if you don't believe what they claim.
That contract shows almost nothing, unless the customer put up
serious money. It's a bet, that's all, and it's entirely possible
that BlackLight sold the contract for $1, as I pointed out. But maybe
more than that, and the more that RadiciGroup paid, the more it
means. But still, it could be a lot of money and be pocket change for them.
I assume that if Blacklight Power has anything, it must be
fundamentally the same as cold fusion. They don't want to hear that,
but I am free to go on assuming it. McKubre agrees with me, by the way.
My guess is not. It would not be astonishing if the conventional
wisdom was wrong in more than one place. The evidence Mills shows for
hydrinos is entirely different than cold fusion evidence, the only
common feature is excess heat. No nuclear evidence is asserted, at all.
Hydrinos of very low energy would make crackerjack catalysts for cold
fusion, but that's another story, and would, quite likely, produce
the same branching ratio and products as hot fusion. I.e., lots of
neutrons and tritium. So that's no help at all. No, hydrinos, if
real, would allow copious power generation, directly, by releasing
potential electronic energy, considered unreachable because it
requires going below the "ground" state. I.e., the previously
observed ground, instead of the new lower hydrino states.
