On occasion I find myself liking the hydrino concept. The gamma radiation associated with element mutation is hard to accept without assuming a large amount of leakage.
Unfortunately, there are some serious questions as to whether or not hydinos exist. It would be convenient if the proton and electron were sucked into the nucleus since that would eliminate the barrier entirely. If this is true, why is it difficult to achieve rapid LENR activity and the corresponding high powers? Has anyone been able to answer the question as to why the reaction rate is relatively low under this condition? Is it possible that the reaction rate for LENR devices is throttled by the lack of hydrinos or your version of them? Maybe they are not too easily constructed in the real world and that is why a special condition must be achieved where they can be generated. That would be a neat reason for the difficulties encountered in our experiments. If this is the case, it would be a good idea to concentrate on a method of controlled generation for these components. I wonder about the electron being ejected from the nucleus with all of the reaction energy. Has anyone calculated how much ionization would be generated by an electron with 6 MeV of energy? Would that not be easy to see in the experiments? We are limited in our thought processes by the lack of data and I can hardly wait until we finally obtain output material from Rossi's and DGT's devices that can be independently measured.

One problem that needs to be understood is that Rossi insists hat copper is his only transformed element and that would suggest that a proton s driven into the nickel nucleus and not an electron-proton pair. Mills Hydrino may not get small enough to decrease the tunneling time for Ni, to sufficiently noticeable degree, however in my version, the Hydrino can shrink o just a few fm, allowing it to come within range of the nuclear force, hence ffectively bypassing the Coulomb barrier altogether. In Horace's theory, the electron actually enters the nucleus along with the roton. In my version, the electron may also momentarily get "sucked in" along with the roton, then immediately ejected via an Internal Conversion reaction, carrying he energy of the fusion reaction with it. This would produce fast electrons, bout 1% of which would produce x-rays, some of which would be hard (hence the eed for Pb shielding in Rossi's reactor). As for Copper being the only product, even Rossi himself admits that a thorough etals analysis is required to settle this issue (see his post about 40 hours @ 00 ºC). BTW the Hydrino concept in general implies that some portion of the energy comes rom Hydrino shrinkage. What that percentage might be is yet to be determined, lthough based on the lack of external radiation, one might guess that it is arge, and that consequently the nuclear reactions are in fact only supplying a mall portion.
