It would appear that you are not qualified to say that "calorimetry using water is a non-starter". First, in DI water there is no electrolyte added (just the opposite) and there will be no current flowing through this water being used to capture the heat and thermalize the UV. The DI water has no current, hence not hydrolysis. Second, Mills' experiment begins with water. Within the high current flow, the water in the porous metal container (particle) is thermally and electrically decomposed into various hydrogen, oxygen, and hydroxide species both neutral and ionized, though the voltage is specifically held low to help prevent impact ionization of the hydrogen (the hydrino state requires the electron). I proposed isolating the test pellet in a wax container so that the DI water does not contaminate the water in the test pellet, though that may not be necessary.
If Mills is correct, the whole reaction is chemical. If you have a better idea for calorimetry, describe it.
