Perhaps also of interest is that the sum of the first four ionization energies is 108.99 eV, which is quite a good match for a Mills catalyst of m=4, representing an energy hole of 108.78 eV. Given that Mercury is atomic in the gas state, this should make the gas a good Mills catalyst. A pair of Hydrinos combined in a Hydrino molecule might be even be able to supply sufficient energy to cause Mercury to fission, giving rise to the tales of mercury powered "Vimana". (Such a fission reaction would yield roughly 140 MeV.) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
