Here is a detail which came up earlier – the embedded proton concept works best in the context of the Mills’ “hydrino hydride” where the proton and two very tight electrons combine into a stable ion which replaces carbon’s innermost orbital electron. The innermost orbital of carbon would need to have a binding strength which is resonant with dense hydrogen in order to do this so Rydberg values come into play.
Holmlid, Mills, Miley, Mayer, Meulenberg and others who have written on the subject of dense hydrogen have different thinking on the details. They could all be partly correct with Mills being the most accurate for this detail (but he does not mention 13C). The innermost carbon electron is bound at slightly less than 490 eV which is exactly the 18th Rydberg multiple… yet it is not clear how significant that detail is in the context of coal formation. ------------------------------------- In prior thread, the premise was suggested that there are two different species (allotropes) of carbon which are being called carbon-13. One of the two species is the normal isotope with 7 neutrons, but the second is carbon-12 with a deeply embedded proton of UDH (the ultra-dense hydrogen) of Holmlid. This result has happened with some types of carbon during the 100 million year formation process of decay from ancient vegetation under pressure in coal beds, especially anthracite and mineral graphite. This type of coal is often used to manufacture the kinds of graphite where physical anomalies have been witnessed. Here is another piece of evidence which points to a thermal anomaly with carbon which could be explained with this hypothesis.
