Hi,

>theory once suggested (in my edition of CQM)
Please quote chapter and verse. I am not aware of this ever having been
predicted. What he says is that 27.2 eV is absorbed by an m=1 catalyst, and the
difference between that and the total energy change is radiated as UV during
shrinkage.
i.e. H[n=1] + Catalyst (m=1) => H[n=1/2] + (Catalyst + 27.2 eV) + 13.6 eV (UV or
kinetic energy)
The total change in energy is 54.4 eV - 13.6 = 40.8 eV.
54.4 eV is the total energy that would be released if a free proton and free
electron could be combined into an n=1/2 Hydrino. The 13.6 eV is the energy that
has already been released to the environment when H in the ground state formed.
So the change in total energy when going from the ground state to n=1/2 is 54.4
- 13.6 = 40.8 eV. Of this 40.8 eV, 27.2 eV goes to the catalyst, and 13.6 eV is
left over, which may appear either as UV or as kinetic energy.
Since the catalyst absorbed 27.2 eV, it must eventually release this back into
the environment in order to return to it's own original condition, so the total
energy eventually released to the environment is 27.2 eV + 13.6 eV = 40.8 eV, as
expected.
(Note that the 27.2 eV released by the "excited" catalyst may not be in the form
of a 27.2 eV UV photon. It just depends on which catalyst is used, and how it
returns to its normal state.)
All of this is for an m=1 catalyst. IIRC Mills most recent work involves the H2O
molecule as an m=3 catalyst for which the equation looks like this:-
H[n=1] + H2O (m=3) => H[n=1/4] + {broken up water molecule that has absorbed
81.6 eV in total} + UV/kinetic (217.7 eV - 13.6 eV - 81.6 eV = 122.5 eV)
The total energy released, once the water has been reconstituted while releasing
81.6 eV, is 122.5 eV + 81.6 eV = 204.1 eV.
