yea, there's oxygen from H20, but isn't the real question be "how much?"
Maybe you can do the math and compute the amount of oxygen and then estimate
the amount of titanium and then add 2 and 2 together and figure out if there is
enough chemical energy to explain the huge explosion.
For that matter, can you think of any substance that would produce that level
of explosion and blinding light from such miniscule amount?

Mills remarked that there is no oxygen available.
In the 20,000C plasma blast, the water will decompose into h2 and O. SO there
is oxygen.

This is a bomb calorimeter. I do not think it incorporates optical
instruments. (A schematic of the calorimeter would have helped.) Plus, even
when you use NIST calibrated instruments, you should still calibrate.
Especially during a demonstration. It would not have taken long to set off a
small charge of some explosive. Or thermite.
Speculation about titanium is a distraction, for it is not involved in
the chemistry of the SunCell.
Well, we should speculate about whatever chemicals were in the explosion.
Mills remarked that there is no oxygen available. That is a start. But what was
there, and how much energy can it produce? And can we be sure the bomb
calorimeter is working, without a calibration?
The purpose of a demonstration is to teach the audience. To answer
questions. To persuade. It should simplify and clarify what is happening. It
cannot be full experiment that answers every question. It should be simple,
covering limited ground, because the audience cannot learn much in one hour.
