Dave, I think you have an underlying misconception. It isn't thermal energy that is being exploited, catalytic energy is related to Casimir geometry which in the case of nanotubes only occurs at openings and defects in the nanotube as recently discovered by Peng Chen at Cornell using an AFM. This establishes a relationship between catalytic action and change in Casimir force - geometry. It is a difference in vacuum energy density not temperature that feeds the reaction so you are not exhausting a thermal reservoir. IMHO this is why gas is a necessary part of the equation since relative motion of gas to the Casimir geometry is maintained by HUP. This is the same source of energy that keeps gas from becoming solid at absolute zero.. hence can be referred to as Zero Point Energy. The similarity between skeletal catalysts and the Casimir geometry of nano powders also supports this relationship.
Within the context of the above relationship there can be no hydrino without Casimir geometry, as the hydrino or IRH diffuses out of the catalyst or nano powder it simply translates back to normal hydrogen. There would therefore be no hydrinos floating freely in the atmosphere and it remains an open question if di-hydrinos are even possible much less if their covalent bond could hold the hydrino in this catalyzed state outside of the catalyst. If Jan Naudts is correct about the hydrino / IRH being relativistic then one could say the hydrino only exists from a relativistic perspective and locally appears just like normal hydrogen. Most would say this kind of time dilation or equivalent acceleration is impossible in the confines of a bulk material sitting in a lab but we are conditioned to think in terms of a Pythagorean relationship with C to solve for gamma and I think suppression side steps this issue. Suppression reduces energy density instead of increasing it and instead of equivalent acceleration it affords equivalent de-acceleration.

The hydrino cycle that I am describing, aka heat pump of some unusual type, would allow energy contained within the thermal surroundings to do work. I can imagine some of that work being used to generate radiant energy that could then escape the system. This escaping energy would cause the local system to cool off. This technique sounds a lot like a violation of the laws of thermodynamics. I guess that a similar process occurs when a dust cloud cools down by radiating heat energy. Is there any way that we can verify that a process exists which will enable the hydrinos to absorb the hypothetical energy you discussed and emerge as hydrogen again?

Would the hydrino be able to acquire the needed energy from the thermal energy available of the atmosphere? If not, why have not all of the hydrogen atoms in existence (on earth) been catalyzed during the eons of time that has been available? Because in order to be catalyzed, they need to exist as individual atoms, whereas all the Hydrogen on Earth exists bound in chemical compounds. Furthermore even when present as an atom, it still needs to come across a catalyst atom too. >My main purpose for asking the question is to determine if some type of heat pump could be used where hydrogen is turned into hydrinos releasing heat and then released. Then I was hoping that they would reacquire the energy from the thermal environment to be recycled. This sounds like a breech of the second law, but why not give it a try. :-) > >Dave I don't think so, though perhaps solar x-rays in the upper atmosphere might reconstitute them.
