Hi, If we ever get to the point where we can make hydrinos small enough, (or collect small ones), then here are two nice clean fusion reactions based upon plentiful materials:-
Hy + N15 -> C12 + He4 + 4.96 MeV (this is essentially the last step of the CNO reaction). The N15 isotope would need to be separated from normal Nitrogen, however that shouldn't be too difficult. Hy2 + O18 -> C12 + 2 He4 + 9 MeV Hy2 is a severely shrunken hydrino molecule. Once again, the O18 would need to be separated from normal Oxygen. There is enough O18 in the oceans to provide us with energy at our current rate of use for 285 billion years. :) The previous reaction may actually take place in two steps:- Hy + O18 -> N15 + He4 + 4 MeV, followed by the first reaction.
