... subtitled, "where's the 'blip'? "
A "blip" being defined as a presumed insignificant phenomenon,
especially a brief departure from the normal trend or curve -
especially in statistical analysis and charting.

From: "Robin van Spaandonk"
Negative muons orbit at the Bohr radius (BR) * electron mass /
muon mass. Hence hydrinohydride should try to do the same,
Not necessarily, Robin. There is some evidence that leptons
experience inertia (and gravity) differently than fermions. Mills
even buys into that one. The point being that this is not an
apples-to-apples comparison as the Bohr radius applies
specifically to leptons.
Either way, it is larger than the distance at which it should
orbit. This leaves several possible scenarios:-
1) It sits snug against the nucleus at it's own radius.
This can probably be ruled out because of the strong force...
2) It shares it's shrunken electrons with the other nucleus in a
covalent bond at very small radius (don't know how big), but it
would have to be smaller than it's own radius or there wouldn't
be
any energy benefit in forming the bond.
This is more likely, especially with the "very small radius" being
internal to normal "smear" of the argon - that is, if you accept a
different kind of covalent bond - perhaps even one where the "new"
k-shell itself comes from one electron and one hydrino hydride
instead of the normal 2 electrons (or else the displacement of the
other k-shell electron results in a see-saw reciprocating fashion,
and this is what is favored in that particular atom.
And the situation for the hydrino hydride involved in this
particular situation may be such that it is NOT "maximal
shrinkage" as you seem to be reverting to.
Perhaps the shrinkage is either n=1/16 or 1/17 ... in the range of
the maximum enthalpy. IOW maximum enthalpy instead of maximum
shrinkage. Perhaps these are also the only ones which can easily
escape - in the solar corona - that is: the hydrinos which are
favored to be expelled in a solar-genesis situation, over geologic
time. Lets see - at 1/16 the radius of the hydrino is a factor of
32,000 times reduced over the Bohr radius. Of course there are
many other problems with this whole scenario - to wit:
Mills has apparently collected gram-sized supplies of tightly
bound K-Hy- (images on his web site) and we can assume from that
situation that he has proven in so doing that the excess charge is
nullified by the strong covalence (ionic --> covalent bonding),
meaning that 20 total electrons remain in the compound; but can
that be "confused" (in "inertness") with the net 18 electrons of
argon? i.e. instead of 20 of a normal hydride. The scenario we are
getting at would be easier to pull-off starting with chlorine. For
this to work out chemically with potassium, the 20 electrons must
"look like" the 18 of Argon, no? That might be the expected
outcome of an extremely tight bonding scenario...
...plus it provides another route to falsifiability - in that in a
normal tank of Argon, where there are three stable isotopes: 36,
38, and 40 and with 40Ar accounting for 99.6% of the total -
THEN - of that 99.6, the "special-K" component should have an
extra mass of 2 electrons, compared with the "real" argon, no?
Even with a ppm population of this heavier "argon" of special-K,
there should be a "blip" on the mass-spec chart.
We must also assume that the Hy- shrinkage in those samples Mills
has collected is near the minimum (i.e they are much larger in
radius - one or two steps of shrinkage) than the tiny size needed
to "gasify" the atom into "special-K" which would be the Argon
substitute.
Bizarro! The real problem in the whole scenario seems to be to get
a molecule to bond so tightly that it "looks like" a monatomic
noble gas, correct? It is no wonder that NO mainstream scientist
would touch this line of reasoning "with a ten-foot pole"
... until, that is, someone produces a mass-spec chart from a tank
of argon showing that little "blip" of extra mass (about an MeV+
in total) ... and then of course, they [mainstream nay-sayers]
will be back-peddling and claiming to associates: "told you so"...
If you look at the actual geometry of the so-called "orbitals" of
potassium and argon, then it might be possible to get a clue as to
why K could possibly have this strong affinity for a hydrino
hydride, and especially one of the optimum size (whether it be 16
or 24 or whatever steps). This whole quantum orbital image
situation might even be amenable to modeling with some of the
newer software packages which are out there. There is probably
something about the symmetry of potassium that strongly favors the
capture of this particular species based on the constraints of
size and charge - and correspondingly there is probably something
in the solar corona environment that favors the creation of this
same species.
If ... that is [the required caveat] there is any validity to the
speculation at all.
All of this being premised, of course, on some proof that this
oceanic turnover of primordial Hy- together with potassium is
really happening on a continuous basis. The fact that such a
revolving system would elegantly explain the "potassium ocean
deficit" is not enough (by a long shot) in itself, nor is
"efficient radiation," which is a proven phenomenon of Argon, nor
is the results from the Z-machine.
However, that little "blip" mentioned above - the putative one on
the mass-spec charts, previously ignored or dismissed as a "relic"
of the instrumentation - yes ! ... that would be enough. But is it
there?
BTW for the Auger scenario to play out, it would seem to me that
one would have to put as much energy into the compound atom to
dislodge the hydrino hydride as was initially released when it
entered.
Here again, this is a logical assumption based on what happens
with leptons. The assumption might NOT be valid for species whose
charge to mass ratio is massively different. Not to mention, the
Hy- may not become totally dislodged itself - but due to its much
lower mass (compared to the K nucleus). If it is severely jostled
about, under circumstance which go beyond normal acceleration into
"jerk" then we could have the Auger cascade with ZPE stepping-in
later to restore some normalcy to the situation.
Now... where's the "blip"?

would be much more meaningful, if you had this mental image of an
older lady, a grandmother perhaps (Clara Peeler), standing in line
at a Wendy's-competitors hamburger joint, yelling "where's the
beef?"
BION, that soon-to-be-nauseating expert-on-everything: Wiki - does
have an entry for now for "where's the beef?"
