To clarify one point on what has yet to be shown by Rown: is the excess heat the result of hydrogen "shrinkage" only ? - and therefore there is zero transmutation, zero gammas and zero ash ?
OK - It should be mentioned prominently that 24Mg is the most common isotope of magnesium (about 79%) and therefore if some kind of virtual neutron is involved in this reactor with 23Na, which gives anaomalous energy, and it is followed by a low energy beta decay (an order of magnitude less than expected) then there should be some anomalous magnesium showing up in place of sodium in the reactor. Also "hyperfine coupling" should be mentioned here as Mills' CQM has fine-structure written all over it <g> This the weak magnetic interaction between electrons and nuclei. Hyperfine coupling causes the hyperfine splitting of atomic or molecular energy levels and supposedly this would do two things in the context of 23Na- which are to further enhance shrinkage and also lower the half-life for the transmutation into magnesium.
