Millsian 2.0: A Molecular Modeling Software for Structures, Charge Distributions and Energetics of Biomolecules, W. Xie, R.L. Mills, W. Good, A. Makwana, B. Holverstott, N. Hogle, Physics Essays, 24 (2011) pp. 200-212.

In this molecular modeling paper, we provide the methods and algorithms that utilize Mills' classical physics atomic and molecular solutions in the molecular modeling software package called Millsian 2.0 designed for modeling the 3D structures, charge distribution, and energetics of biomolecules of pharmaceutical interest. The implementation of Millsian 2.0 was extensively tested against the available experimental data with remarkable agreement between Millsian predictions and experiments.

Design for a BlackLight Power Multi-Cell Thermally Coupled Reactor Based on Hydrogen Catalyst Systems, Published - Mills, G. Zhao, W. Good, M. Nansteel, International Journal of Energy Research, Article first published online: 15 MAR 2011; DOI: 10.1002/er.1834.

The design and cost estimates compared to other systems of an energy hydrino producing reactor system wherein heat from hydrino reactions within individual cells provide both the reactor power and the heat for regeneration of the reactants. These processes occur continuously over a plurality of cells in different phases of the processes. The hydrino reactions are maintained and regenerated in a batch mode using thermally-coupled multi-cells arranged in bundles wherein cells in the power-production phase of the cycle heat cells in the regeneration phase.  Conservatively, assuming a conversion efficiency of 25%, the total cost with the addition of the boiler and chemical components is estimated at $1,380 per kW electric.  The system applications for distributed power (1 to 10 MW electric) and central generation retrofit and green-field projects are projected to be very competitive relative to existing power sources and systems.

Identification of New Hydrogen States, Published -R.L. Mills, J. Lotoski, G. Zhao, K. Akhtar, Z. Chang, J. He, X. Hu, G. Wu, G. Chu, Y. Lu, Phys. Essays 24, 95 (2011); doi:10.4006/1.3544207.

Review of large body of BLP's and independents' data showing conclusively that hydrogen can form more stable states called hydrinos. Specifically, hydrino transitions were observed experimentally by the predicted catalyst excitation, continuum emission, and hot H.  Similar to the case with the 21 cm (1.42 GHz) line of ordinary hydrogen, hydrino atoms were identified by its predicted 642 GHz spin-nuclear hyperfine transition observed by TeraHz absorption spectroscopy of cryogenically cooled H2 below 35K.  Hydrinos react to form molecular hydrino and hydrino hydride ions that are much more stable than the ordinary variants and have characteristic predicted energies, spectra, and NMR shifts.  Synthesized and naturally occurring molecular hydrino were observed by electron beam excited ro-vibrational spectral emission and proton NMR.  Hydrino hydride ions were observed by proton NMR and XPS.  The hydrino continua spectra directly and indirectly match significant celestial observations and the characteristics of hydrino indicate that it is the dark matter.

Continuous Hydrino Thermal Power System, R. L. Mills, G. Zhao, W. Good, Applied Energy, Vol. 88, (2011) 789-798.

The hydrino reactions are maintained and regenerated continuously in each cell wherein heat from the power production phase of a thermally reversible cycle provides the energy for regeneration of the initial reactants from the products.  Since the reactants undergo both modes simultaneously in each cell, the thermal power output from each cell is constant.  Conservatively, assuming a conversion efficiency of 25% the total cost with the addition of the boiler and chemical components is estimated at $1064 per kW electric.  The specifics of a reaction system design are presented.

Commercializable Power Source Using Heterogeneous Hydrino Catalysts - R.L. Mills, K. Akhtar, G. Zhao, Z. Chang, J. He, X. Hu, G. Chu, Int. J.

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.
