* Upon recombination, heat energy is released to the tune of 90.000
cal/gram molecule.
Note: Moller made a silly mistake in his original paper in confusing c
with C (unless it has been corrected). This keeps being quoted online by
others, as if it was accurate.
There is obviously no such simple gain on recycling hydrogen from molecule
to atomic and back, i.e. the recombination of hydrogen and if there is
gain at all, it must be of more complicated non-chemical origin (nuclear,
ZPE or supra-chemical).
In the past some of us have used the term supra-chemical to indicate
interactions with inner orbitals, as opposed to valence electron reactions -
which probably itself relates to ZPE as the ultimate source of energy (as
does the Casimir force interaction, if there is found to be net gain).
* The small calorie or gram calorie (symbol: cal) approximates the
energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C. This
is about 4.2 joules.
* The large calorie, kilogram calorie or food calorie (symbol: Cal)
approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of
water by 1 °C. This is exactly 1000 small calories or about 4.2 kilojoules.
Big difference. Moller must not have consulted Wiki-the-Wise on this
critical detail although I hope he has corrected the error by now
