The light that Mills purports to produce is maximized at 500 nm of blue/green light or more in the UV direction.
In the experiments on the Papp engine the Russ Gries ran, green light was seen as an strange plasma afterglow. The solid HO2 fuel Mills is talking about is crystalized water. Papp created a processor called a fuel mixer that produced this stuff and Papp patented it. Papp used water and noble gas crystals to produce his reaction. He also produced excess electrical power on every explosive cycle. Enough electrical power was produced to drive his engine without a battery. This solid water (water crystal) technology does work and Papp proved it, and he patented it. This technology is now open source. This Papp technology is far superior to the NiH reactor, IMHO because it does not produce heat. But Mills is working under a great disadvantage, His theory of operation is based on the delusional hydrino concept. Here is how it really works and it is all well accepted science, no hydrinos required: Here is a snippet from Papp engine theory that explains the basics of the power production principles. Remember that water can produce solid nanoparticles just like noble gases do. ----------------------------------- Where does the explosive force come from? The force produced in the Papp engine comes from the explosion of these clusters of gas and water atoms under the excitation of ultraviolet and x-rays. As the energy of this EMF goes up so does the explosive power of the clusters. Mills uses a lot of power, 12,000 amps will produce copious X-rays. When TNT explodes, the mass of the expanding gas is high but the speed of the associated shockwave is relatively low. On the other hand, the shockwave produced in the Papp cluster explosion reaction is some appreciable fraction of the speed of light even if the mass of the gas ions involved in the cluster fragment expansion is small when compared to what happens in a chemical based explosion. Even with these large differences in the parameters in the equation of force, the forces produced in these two dissimilar reactions; that is, between chemical explosion and electromagnetic shockwave generation as a product of the mass and velocity is similar in magnitude. The more a cluster is ionized, the easier it is for x-ray photons to further ionize additional electrons in that cluster. Energy levels in bulk materials are significantly different from materials in the nanoscale. Let’s, put it this way: Adding energy to a confined system such as a cluster is like putting a tiger in a cage. A tiger in a big zoo with open fields will act more relaxed, because he has a lot of room to wander around. If you now confine him in smaller and smaller areas, he gets nervous and agitated. It's a lot that way with electrons. If they're free to move all around through a metal, they have low energy. Put them together in a cluster and beam x-rays on them, they get very excited and try to get out of the structure. In getting to the breaking point, when the ionized cluster eventually reaches an ionization limit where the remaining electrons cannot sustain the structural integrity of the cluster any longer, an explosive disintegration of the cluster and subsequent plasma expansion of the positive ions and electrons which once formed the cluster occurs. Multi-electron ionization of molecules and clusters can be realized by photoionization of strong x-ray photons. The multi-electron ionization leads to an explosive disintegration of the cluster together with the production of multi-charged atomic ions fragments. The kinetic energy of the product ions formed by this explosion is of the order of several or tens eV in a diatomic, hundreds of eV in small van der Waals(VDW) clusters, and 100 KeV to 1 MeV in large (n > 1000) VDW clusters. What causes this accelerating weakening of the structure under the onslaught of x-ray photons radiation is “barrier suppression ionization”. The initial arrival of x-ray photons begin the formation of plasma that is localized within the cluster itself. The electrons initially dislodged by the x-ray photons orbit around the outside of the cluster. These electrons lower the coulomb barrier holding the electrons that remain orbiting the cluster’s inner atoms. These remaining electrons reside in the inner orbits closer in to the nuclei of their atoms. Excess electric negative charge in the gas carrying the clusters will also add to the suppression of the coulomb barrier further supporting cascading cluster ionization. Papp uses every trick in the book to pack as many electrons in the plasma mix as he possibly can. When enough electrons are removed, the structure of the cluster cannot sustain itself any longer and the cluster explodes. In order to take advantage of the energy produced by “barrier suppression ionization”, the designers of the Papp reaction must satisfy two main engineering goals: first, large solid cystaline clusters must be formulated, and two, copious amounts of high energy x-ray photons must be produced. Where Excess Power Comes From The Excess energy might come about when the x-ray photons lower the coulomb barrier during the cluster explosion chain reaction process. “Barrier suppression ionization” changes the way electrostatic charge attraction and repulsion work; that is, it modifies the vacuum energy. When the cluster explodes and the cluster is destroyed and electrons are drained from the gas, the rule of electrostatic charge repulsion returns back to normal. The bigger the cluster that can be fabricated, the more energy is derived from the cluster explosion chain reaction process because the cluster stays together for a longer time and therefore more energy can be “pulled out of the vacuum”. The power that you can get out of the clusters is exponentially proportional to the intensity of the x-rays that you can produce. The more ionization you can produce in the cluster, the higher that the kinetic energy of the exploding ions will have. This energy goes up exponentially with the ionization level. With xenon, the ionization level can go up to +40. You can only imagine how powerful those exploding xenon ions can become. The other large crystals like water behave in a similar way. But with helium, there are only 2 electrons, so what we see now in my current experiments are ionization energy levels that are very small. At the end of the day, there are two important parameters that define the level of power that can be produced in the Papp reaction, cluster size and x-ray intensity. Cluster creation and destruction must be an ongoing, repetitive, and endless process in the Papp cylinder. Lowering the coulomb barrier is where the energy derived from cold fusion ultimately comes from, and this lowering is caused by electron screening produced by large numbers of high energy electrons. Experiment on Xenon explosion processes have found that the energy released by and exploding Xenon cluster is about 2.5 KeV Here are some detailed experimental results involving the explosion of an Xenon cluster. How hot is 2.5 KeV? 1 eV = 11604.505 Kelvin. Xenon Cluster fragments are hot after explosion at (2.500 eV) (11604.505 ) = 29,011,262.5 degrees The energy produced when a cluster with 1500 atoms explodes is (2.5 KeV)(1500) = 3750 KeV or 3.75 MeV By comparison a uranium atom produces 200 MeV when it fissions.
