Identification of New Hydrogen States, Updated 08/13/10 - R.L. Mills, J. Lotoski, G. Zhao, K. Akhtar, Z. Chang, J. He, X. Hu, G. Wui, G. Chu, Y. Lu - Review of large body of BLP's and independent's data showing conclusively that hydrogen can form more stable states called hydrinos.
Thermally Reversible Hydrino Catalyst Systems as a New Power Source, R.L. Mills, G. Zhao, K. Akhtar, Z. Chang, J. He, X. Hu, G. Wu, J. Lotoski, G. Chu Updated 05/04/10 - Using absolute water-flow calorimetry, the energy balance for representative power and regeneration reactions of four classes of hydrino catalyst systems was determined wherein the formation of hydrinos has 200 times the energy release relative to combustion. The thermal cycle of reactants to products thermally reversed to reactants in a closed system is energy neutral, and the thermal losses (~3%) and energy to replace hydrogen converted to hydrinos (2%) are small compared to the large energy released in forming hydrinos. Typical parameters measured by absolute water-flow calorimetry were 2-5 times energy gain relative to regeneration chemistry and 7 W cm-3. The predicted molecular hydrino and hydrino hydride products H2(1/4) and H-(1/4) corresponding to 50 MJ/mole H2 consumed were confirmed by the solution 1H NMR peak at 1.2 ppm and XPS peak at 11 eV, respectively. The results indicate that continuous generation of power liberated by forming hydrinos is commercially feasible using simplistic and efficient systems that concurrently maintain regeneration as part of the thermal energy balance.

Commercializable Power Source Using Heterogeneous Hydrino Catalysts - R.L. Mills, K. Akhtar, G. Zhao, Z. Chang, J. He, X. Hu, G. Chu, Int. J. Hydrogen Energy, Vol. 35, Issue 2, January 9, 2010, pp. 395-419, doi: 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2009.10.038 and may be purchased at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2009.10.038. This paper reports a breakthrough solid fuel comprising a catalyst, a source of hydrogen, a conductive support, and oxidation-reduction reactants that releases 200 times the energy of burning hydrogen by the formation of a prior undiscovered more stable form called "hydrino". The resulting power scaled linearly to 35kW. Proton NMR, ToF-SIMS, and XPS confirmed the product hydrinos. The solid fuel components enable the action of the catalyst by removing charge that seems to be a rate-determining step. The solid-fuel chemistry has the important feature that it's regenerable using methods such as molten-salt electrolysis. An advanced version of the solid fuel, the EuBr2 oxidant system, is very efficient at liberating energy from forming "hydrinos" and requires essentially no energy to reverse the chemical product back into the initial fuel. Regeneration was achieved simply with heat. This is enabling of continuous generation of power using simplistic and efficient systems that use heat liberated by forming "hydrinos" to concurrently maintain regeneration. This development is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in the time to commercialization.

Commercializable Power Source from Forming New States of Hydrogen, R.L. Mills, G. Zhao, K. Akhtar, Z. Chang, J. He, Y. Lu, W. Good, G. Chu, B. Dhandapani, Int. J. Hydrogen Energy, Vol. 34, Issue 2, January 2009, pp. 573-614, doi:10.1016/j.ijhydene.2008.10.018 and may be purchased at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2008.10.018 This paper is a decisive report on the evidence of the formation of hydrogen in lower-energy states than previously thought possible. The evidence includes a large scope of analytical analysis on chemical and gas products including liquid NMR on both that is definitive. Power measurements were made on the systems using a solid hydrogen fuel that formed the products for analysis to a scale of 50KW. The results indicate that H could provide commercial power with an energy yield of 200 times that of combustion without creating pollution.
Spectroscopic observation of helium-ion- and hydrogen-catalyzed hydrino transitions, R. L. Mills, Y. Lu, K. Akhtar, Central European Journal of Physics, August 2009, doi: 10.2478/s11534-009-0106-9. The original publication is available at http://www.springerlink.com/content/k1k4986384j3x26p/?p=38ac51b3bffa4e109733d54aee08702d&pi=3 This paper is historic in that it reports direct proof that hydrogen forms hydrinos having energy states below the "ground state" using a catalyst. Thus, hydrogen can be used directly as a new energy source. Specifically, we report the experimental confirmation of four predictions for transitions of atomic hydrogen to form hydrinos: pumping of the catalyst states due to energy transfer form atomic hydrogen, extraordinary fast H due to energy transfer from a H undergoing catalysis, H continuum radiation at energies below the "ground state", and isolation and identification of lower-energy hydrogen gas by NMR. These results have profound implications theoretically, scientifically, and technologically in that they (1) confirm GUTCP in the prediction of hydrinos, (2) directly disprove atomic theories such as the Schrödinger and Dirac equations based on the definition of n=1 as the ground state, the defined state below which it is impossible to go, (3) offer resolution to many otherwise inexplicable celestial observations, and (4) directly demonstrate a new field of hydrogen chemistry and a powerful new energy source.

Total Bond Energies of Exact Classical Solutions of Molecules Generated by Millsian 1.0 Compared to Those Computed Using Modern 3-21G and 6-31G* Basis Sets, R.L. Mills, B. Holverstott, W. Good, N. Hogle, A. Makwana, Physics Essays, Vol. 23, No. 1, (2010), pp. 153-199. In this molecular modeling paper, the energies of exact classical solutions of molecules generated by Millsian 1.0 and those from a modern quantum mechanics-based program, Spartan's pre-computed database use 3-21G and 6-31G* basis sets at the Hartree-Fock level of theory, were compared to experimental values. The Millsian results were consistently within an average relative deviation of about 0.1% of the experimental values. In contrast, the 3-21G and 6-31G* results deviated over a wide range of relative error, typically being >30-150% with a large percentage of catastrophic failures, depending on functional group type and basis set.
