RvS: I don't think Mills would, or even could, limit his process to just the first step. However there may be a natural "hurdle" at level 24, making it more difficult (read "less likely") to go further than that, and depending on the mechanism involved in Hydrino creation in each specific setup (i.e. if Hydrinohydride is involved). Robin - This could mean two things: One is that the batch process itself is engineered in such a way that the shrinkage is stopped on demand, perhaps at a hurdle level, as you suggest, in order to "harvest" the reactants for use in another more valuable way. The second is that this was initially done as a legacy issue to avoid the "taint" of cold fusion, which was seen as the biggest threat to Mills' IP early on. I think it could be both and that the hydride is extremely valuable. Unfortunately, the biggest value of it - could reside in its military significance. Think of it as having a value greater than tritium, and perhaps a similar use. However, the hydride does seem to have a mundane use in ultra efficient batteries, but Uncle Sam would want in on that action also. We have discussed before that one 'unknown' factor in why Mills' has not got to market yet has something to do with the military significance and a secret sweetheart deal. He has such a high "burn rate" of funding that he must have another deep pockets backer, and this could be it. A few of his Board of Directors have these kinds of connections. Jones
