The maximum amount of energy obtainable from Hydrino formation is, not coincidentally, exactly half the mass energy of an electron, i.e. 255 keV/H atom. Maximally shrinking 0.11 gm of H2 would therefore yield 752 kWh of energy, about ~30 times what was actually measured. Furthermore the calculation of the amount of Hydrogen measured assumes that none was absorbed by the Ni during filling of the reactor, which probably isn't true. IOW there may actually have been more than 0.11 gm of H present in the reactor. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
