>From the rest mass lost by proton and electron during shrinkage. Since the electron is continually losing rest mass, while it gains kinetic energy, there comes a point where the next level is unattainable. According to the first graph on my web page (http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/New-hydrogen.html) this occurs about q=124 (p=124 to use Mills quantum numbers). However the exact level is irrelevant, for "home grown" Hydrinos, because fusion would occur long before then. The exception being Solar Hydrinos, because fusion on the Sun is paradoxically, much more difficult than here on Earth. That due to the scarcity of target nuclei. Poor Solar Hydrinos, all they ever have as neighbors is other protons. Regards, "Desperately seeking neutron" ;)
