-----Original Message----- From: mix...@bigpond.com The binding energy of the H2 molecule is 4.519 eV. Divide this by the fine structure constant and you get 619.236 eV. Add some due to the increased binding energy of magnetic attraction between the nuclei at close quarters.
Hi Robin, It's not clear whether the hydrogen molecule would shrink as a unit, which seems to be your premise - with both electrons acting together ... or alternatively, each monatomic atom is reduced individually. My impression is that it is an individual action, not the molecule. Later, the dense atoms collect into clusters - but 2 is not a favored cluster size. My mental image is clouded by 25 years of following Mills theory, which is quite different in the details. However, one wonders if the two can be reconciled somehow. And also- does anyone know if Meulenberg has tried to reconcile Holmlid's species with the DDL ? These concepts are all similar, and all well thought-out and vetted to some degree - but Holmlid is the relative newcomer - now getting all of the attention. The long-hidden model with all the answers to the LENR conundrum seems like it is trying to come out into the open. Hopefully we can expedite that by cherry-picking the best details without giving deference to anyone (except perhaps Dirac). Perhaps you are already trying to reconcile all of these.
