I'd be very speculative of his work, although he's never said it publicly, if you follow his line of thinking you get an over unity device.

For those willing to entertain a speculative fuel -- one which has a potential exhaust velocity (specific energy) of tens of km/s:Reading <http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/papers/SunCellPaper.pdf>H2O-Based Solid Fuel Power Source Based on the Catalysis of H by HOH Catalyst and thinking about what might constitute a relatively simple and inexpensive qualitative demonstration, it occurs to me that if (as is indicated by Table 1) titanium is acting as a Mills catalyst, a pure Ti+H system based on atomic hydrogen welding (AHW) may be worth a try for the following reasons:* In AHW, the shielding gas is hydrogen.* The tungsten electrodes could be replaced by titanium electrodes feeding in at a higher rate. * Rather than nano-titanium the catalytic surface is vaporized titanium at 3,287°C -- a temperature readily achievable by AHW. * Being shielded from oxygen by the hydrogen flow, titanium oxidation is avoided thereby avoiding a major confounding process and variable. * The power into the AHW apparatus therefore takes two easily meterable forms:Â* electric power from the wall and * hydrogen gas* The power out of the AHW apparatus should be dominated by light, which is also easily meterable. * Finally, and perhaps most decisively, the peak temperature should exceed that achievable by AHW.Further on in the same paper, Figure 10 may indicate a superior fuel mixture of:50 mg NH4NO3 + KOH + KCl (2:1:1 wt.) + 15 mg H2OÂ
