Abstract seems to belong to this 2007 paper (not freely accessible): "Catalysis of atomic hydrogen to new hydrides as a new power source" http://inderscience.metapress.com/index/X832U331J0R38642.pdf
Google scholar found what seems to be an earlier version (April 2005?): http://www.blacklightpower.com/papers/CatalysisofAtomicHydrogentoNewHydrides040405.pdf Abstract was a bit longer but said essentially the same things as far as I can tell: << ABSTRACT Plasmas of certain catalysts such as Sr + and Ar+ mixed with hydrogen were studied for evidence of a novel energetic reaction. These hydrogen plasmas called resonant transfer- or rt-plasmas were observed to form at low temperatures (e.g. ˜ 103 K ) and an extraordinary low field strengths of about 1-2 V/cm when argon and strontium were present with atomic hydrogen. Time-dependent line broadening of the H Balmer a line was observed corresponding to extraordinarily fast H (25 eV). An excess power of 20 mW ·cm-3 was measured calorimetrically on rt-plasmas formed when Ar+ added to Sr + as an additional catalyst. Substantial evidence of an energetic catalytic reaction was previously reported [1] involving a resonant energy transfer between hydrogen atoms and K to form very stable novel hydride ions H- (1/ p) called hydrino hydrides having a predicted fractional principal quantum number p = 4 . Characteristic emission was observed from K3+ that confirmed the resonant nonradiative energy transfer of 3· 27.2 eV from atomic hydrogen to K. The product hydride ion H- (1/4) was observed spectroscopically at 110 nm corresponding to its predicted binding energy of 11.2 eV . The 1H MAS NMR spectrum of novel compound KH *Cl relative to external tetramethylsilane (TMS) showed a large distinct upfield resonance at -4.4 ppm corresponding to an absolute resonance shift of -35.9 ppm that matched the theoretical prediction of p = 4. The predicted catalyst reactions, position of the upfield-shifted NMR peaks for H- (1/4), and spectroscopic data for H- (1/4) were found to be in agreement with the experimental observations as well as previously reported analysis of KH *Cl containing this hydride ion. Since the comparison of theory and experimental shifts of KH *Cl is direct evidence of lower-energy hydrogen with an implicit large exotherm during its formation, the NMR result were repeated with the further analysis by Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy which eliminated any known explanation such as U centered H for the assignment of the extraordinary upfield-shifted NMR peak. The possibility that a novel catalytic reaction of atomic hydrogen to form more stable hydrides may be a clean new energy source is supported by spectroscopic, chemical, and thermal data.
