Ha. After some number crunching, it finally soaked in. What the heavy atom/molecule loses
in kinetic energy or momentum the smaller atom/molecule gains.
If there is any OU energy it has to come from some sort of collision that initiates energy release
as in Mills' "Fractional Orbit" Hydrino and/or the MAHG, or other OU phenomena.
If Imris' circuit was actually getting OU from a 5000 torr Xenon gas discharge, it would
be a real eye-opener.

Planets don't lose much kinetic energy/momenum in the "Slingshot" spacecraft interaction.
