In reply to Roarty, Francis X's message of Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:20:42 -0500: Hi Fran,
I suspect that my original post (a few years back) was before you joined Vortex. The mechanism I was talking about works like this:- 1) Take a well shrunken Hydrino molecule. 2) Hit it with a fast particle breaking it into two Hydrinos. 3) Let each of those Hydrinos bind to a proton from a local Hydrogen plasma. You now have two positively charged Hydrino molecular ions. 4) Each Hydrino molecular ion picks up an electron, e.g. through contact with an ordinary atom, or also from the plasma. You now have two identical Hydrino molecules, where originally you had only one. The second has been constituted from free protons and electrons completely bypassing the slow Mills catalytic process for the creation of Hydrinos. The whole process, steps 1-4 can happen in nano-seconds. If those Hydrinos are small enough to undergo nuclear reactions, then new fast particles can be created from the nuclear reaction which can substitute in step (2). Note that the energy required to split the molecule is on the order of keV, whereas the energy of fast particles from a nuclear reaction can be on the order of MeV, so a single such fast particle could in theory split thousands of Hydrino molecules. The Hydrino creation process is energy positive (by about a factor of 3?) even without the nuclear reaction. In an environment where fast particles are present, these will inevitably also create a plasma population for the Hydrino multiplication process to draw from. You can see that even if only a small proportion of the Hydrinos underwent a nuclear reaction, the whole could easily be self sustaining, and even "run-away" under certain conditions. Steps 3 & 4 are ion reactions that are common in ordinary chemistry. The binding energies of a proton to a Hydrino and of an electron to a Hydrino molecular ion are on the order of keV, depending on the shrinkage level, so it may be possible for either to "steal" whatever it needs from ordinary matter, implying that a plasma may not even be needed. The binding energy of the proton to the Hydrino, and of the electron to the Hydrino molecular ion would probably be released as VUV or soft x-rays, neither of which is useful in splitting Hydrino molecules, so the fast particle is necessary (thus explaining why all Hydrogen doesn't immediately collapse). Note that this process breeds Hydrinos from a starting population. That initial population has to be created the slow way (with catalysis), and if your Hydrino molecules escape or get used up rapidly, then when first starting your reactor you won't have any so you need a while for the catalytic process to create Hydrinos that are small enough to do the job (1/2 - 1 hours? ;-). You may also need an initial injection of fast particles from an external radioactive source to jump start the process. :) >On Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:19: Robin van Spaandonk wrote > >[snip]Radioactivity produces fast particles which can trigger an avalanche >Hydrino > >creation mechanism that rapidly converts local H into Hydrinos of whatever size > >was originally at hand.
