When I previously mentioned entropy, I was referring to the fact that entropy favours shrinking as opposed to expanding. Despite this, the ocean still exists, as the actual circumstances under which Hydrinos are formed are rare, and apparently not likely to result in a chain reaction in water. (Though I must admit I'm beginning to wonder about the CIHT cell running on water vapour.) > >Moreover, to add confusion there is the energy emitted in going from >hydrogen to hydrino conflated with the energy emitted from LENR. I don't see the dilemma here. Why would such conflation be a problem? They may or may not be the same thing. Hydrino formation may or may not be part of a LENR reaction. Perhaps there is no LENR reaction, only Hydrino formation accounting for most of the excess heat (IMO most likely the case in Rossi's & Defkalion's offerings, which would go a long way toward explaining the paucity of ionizing radiation). BTW AFAIK there is no such thing as dihydrino oxide. (Though Mills claims that there is a compound of K I and Hy (& perhaps H?), so perhaps some bond with O is possible.
