In reply to Jones Beene's message of Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:39:12 -0700: Hi, Note that enhanced electron capture is also a characteristic of Hydrino capture or Horace's theory. The difference being that with these theories the electron capture happens either concurrent with or after the proton capture, not before. 4 H atoms trapped in a Takahashi tetrahedron may also spontaneously convert to Helium nucleus. Rather than Helium, I would think that D may be a stronger indicator that neutron formation is occurring. Neutron formation from H is strongly endothermic, whereas Hydrino formation is exothermic, making the latter far more likely IMHO.
