The graphite dome of the SunCell would not survive long at the operating temperatures claimed, 426-1426 C. From POCO, a leading producer of graphite:

Temperature Effects
The differences in oxidation behavior of the various grades of graphite are widest at the lowest tempera- tures, tending to disappear as the temperature increases. The “oxidation threshold temperature,” defined as that at which a sample loses approximately one percent of its weight in 24 hours, is about 570°C for purified graphite, while nonpurified graphite is about 430°C (Figure 18-1).
The oxidation of graphite is highly temperature- dependent. At temperatures up to about 350°C, no detectable oxidation occurs. As the temperature is increased, the rate of reaction increases rapidly, according to the Arrhenius equation.
http://poco.com/Portals/0/Literature/Semiconductor/IND-109441-0115.pdf​

Note also the oxidation rate vs temperature for purified graphite in the top right graph on the following page. The data here are for pyrolytic rather than natural graphites. In testing, the % weight loss is highly dependent on surface/volume ratio of the sample but there's no way the dome has a useful lifetime at 1426 C. I expect Mills and his fans could offer any of a dozen ad hoc reasons why this isn't a problem.


That's good to know, but there is no graphite dome mentioned in the fourth quarter report afaik.
 
(my hilite)

markie, you really, really shouldn't try to wing it, it just makes you look, well, ill-informed (ignorant, ...).

If, as you claim, "hydrinos comprise most of what is called dark matter":

1) At what redshift did hydrinos form?
2) What is the signal, in the CMB, showing the formation of hydrinos?
3) Do hydrinos emit 21 cm radiation? If so, at what wavelength/frequency? If not, why not?
4) Why is the hydrino equivalent of 21 cm radiation so weak in the ICM (intra-cluster medium)?
5) What references can you give for papers reporting that the UV and EUV background is due to hydrinos, directly or indirectly?
(I could go on, the obvious list is very long, but this will do for now).

We got lucky with the 21 cm because it is in the microwave and can easily travel through cosmic dust and gas and even our atmosphere.

The corresponding hyperfine transitions as seen in the various lines of hydrino are much higher energy. The least energetic is less than 1 cm, and it drops off very quickly. See page 239 for some values. Much more difficult to reach us from space. But Mills has detected the very specific lines in the lab.
For instance from https://brilliantlightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/papers/21cm-1_paper_080210S.pdf

Similar to the case with the 21 cm (1.42 GHz) line of ordinary hydrogen, hydrino atoms were identified by its predicted 642 GHz spin-nuclear hyperfine transition observed by TeraHz absorption spectroscopy of cryogenically cooled H2 below 35K.
 
Our sun is a hydrogen bomb and has been for billions of years.

ETA:

Since you are now apparently asserting an "'activation energy'" for a positive ion to capture an electron, what then is this ""'activation energy'" for a proton to form hydrogen?

The sun is not a hydrogen bomb. The fusion rate in the sun is incredibly low. Your own metabolism probably generates more heat per unit volume than does the sun.

I never said there was an activation energy for a positive ion to capture an electron. If you recall the context it was about hydrino formation, not electron capture by a proton.
 
Mindless parrots a Mills "neutral hydrogen" delusion

Hydrino formation requires neutral hydrogen.
10 December 2018 markie: Mindless parrots a Mills "neutral hydrogen" delusion.

He wrote "mostly ionized". That means that there is some neutral hydrogen present. That is one of Mills delusion of many "catalysts" to form his hydrino insanity. Mills may have the actually insane delusion that none of his many "catalysts" exist outside of the lab or magically have no observable effects. But wait a minute:
10 December 2018 markie: Mindless parroting of Mill's delusion that hydrinos are "what is called " dark matter.
Dark matter is "approximately 85% of the matter in the universe"!

markie says that Mills' delusions cannot be created in plasma > about 10,000K. (the most of the interior of most stars) or outside of stars. So what is left? Why do stars not explode because their sub-surfaces undergo Mills' delusional formation?
 
Hydrogen is mostly ionized at temperatures greater than about 10,000K. Hydrino formation requires neutral hydrogen. One is not going to find neutral hydrogen in the centre of the sun,
OK, so such collisions which produce hydrinos should be common in M, L, T, and Y class stars, right? And in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, right?

nor on the surface of a white dwarf.
Of course!

How silly of me ... I thought DA (hydrogen atmosphere) white dwarfs were identified by the Balmer lines in their spectra, which are broadened due to very high pressure ... I guess we'll have to tell the authors of dozens of astrophysics textbooks that markie, world famous hydrogen expert, has an important contribution to make ... :p
 
10 December 2018 markie: One is left with markie's personal UV delusion about Mills' delusions.

markie links to a 2014 Telegraph newspaper article on "a new study in Astrophysical Journal Letters". It does not cite that paper. markie does not cite that paper. The description is that galaxies do not produce the level of ultraviolet light that the authors found. All that markie knows is that it is ultraviolet light and so he makes up a personal delusion that it is the specific UV light from Mills' delusions :eye-poppi!

Sceince progresses. Google exists: Photon underproduction crisis


Don't think that just because another group came to a different conclusion that the matter is resolved. If it was we wouldn't see articles like this from
https://phys.org/news/2017-04-milky-ionized-hydrogen-focus.html

my bold:

One reason WHAM observes so much ionized hydrogen in the plane of the galaxy is that lots of hot stars reside there. What puzzled astrophysicists, Haffner says, is how clouds of ionized hydrogen can occur light years above the plane.
"For us to see this emission everywhere, the gas has to be actively ionized," he says. "What are the sources of energy that keep it going?"
What Haffner and other scientists think is happening is that what are known as O-type stars—very large, bright and relatively short-lived stars ranging in size from 15 to 90 times the mass of the sun and born deep in the plane of the galaxy—are somehow able to ionize gas across the galaxy, far from the stellar nurseries in its plane. Evidence for this idea was supplied by WHAM data, which in 2003 toppled the notion that ionized hydrogen in the galaxy occurred only in what are known as Strömgren Spheres, nebulae in the immediate vicinity of O-type stars.
WHAM may one day provide enough data to unravel the mystery of how hydrogen in interstellar deserts can be ionized, far from the stars astronomers think are responsible. It continues its survey of the galaxy on every clear, moonless night, stepping and gathering data in 30-second exposures across wide quadrants of sky.
 
Nonsense that does not answer the asked questions

10 December 2018 markie: Nonsense that does not answer the asked questions.

Jean Tate asked "At what redshift did hydrinos form?", etc.

markie exposed his ignorance about cosmology. Dark matter has to exist in the early universe before hydrogen even existed. It is the CMB that is part of the evidence that dark matter exists. When neutral hydrogen first formed in the universe, the left over light is the CMB. The CMB power spectrum tells us how much baryonic and non-baryonic matter there is.

The 21cm spectral line of hydrogen is irrelevant (a 1s electron flipping its spin).
 
And one is not going to find hydrinos anywhere at all. :rolleyes:

BTW I did notice you completely ignored your mistake in believing dark matter would be buoyant in Earth's atmosphere.
:dl:
You finally ready to admit hydrinos don't exist?:boxedin:

Glad you could have a laugh. But no it wasn't a mistake that dihydrino gas aka dark matter will be buoyant in our atmosphere.

Riiiight.

Mills, with markie by his side, re-writes the textbooks on microwave astronomy.

No one who has analyzed the Planck data (to take just one example, there are many to choose from) has found any hydrino hyperfine transititions, much less most of the sky awash with such radiation. But perhaps I'm wrong; maybe you can point to papers which report the widespread detection of just such radiation, markie?
 
OK, so such collisions which produce hydrinos should be common in M, L, T, and Y class stars, right? And in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, right?

Yeah, common enough to cause surface energetic events on the sun.
And yes hydrinos would form on the gas giants.

Of course!

My mistake, somehow I had quasar on my mind. White dwarfs will show hydrino formation signature. Pretty sure Mills states this outright.

Which, of course, is irrelevant ... if only because none of the authors make any claims about hydrinos.

And, towering astrophysics expert that he is, Mills has never even attempted to write a paper on this, much less submit it to the likes of MNRAS or ApJ.

But, as others have noted in connection with some of your other posts markie, nice distraction.

As I recall, Mills calculates the intensities as well. Low intensity and cosmic opaqueness may make it too difficult to detect in space right now. Not sure. I'll put that on my to check list.
 
A "another group came to a different conclusion" lie

Don't think that just because another group came to a different conclusion that the matter is resolved.
10 December 2018 markie: A "another group came to a different conclusion" lie.
The Photon underproduction crisis was solved because several groups pointed out issues with the original groups conclusions. These first reduced the crisis and then eliminated it.

10 December 2018 markie: One is left with markie's personal UV delusion about Mills' delusions.

10 December 2018 markie: Lies with a "Project brings Milky Way's ionized hydrogen into focus" link.
This is the crank "god of the gaps" delusion. Valid working science does not have an explanation for X, so their vague delusions explains X!

Project brings Milky Way's ionized hydrogen into focus is not the photon underproduction crisis. This observation is a puzzle about why there are clouds of ionized hydrogen above the plane of the Milky Way. We detect and expect ionized hydrogen in the plane because there are hot stars there. But they are not abundant above the plane.
WHAM may one day provide enough data to unravel the mystery of how hydrogen in interstellar deserts can be ionized, far from the stars astronomers think are responsible.

There is literal insanity in not understanding the name of the instrument: Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper
The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) is a custom-built 0.6 metres (24 in) telescope operated by the University of Wisconsin–Madison, used to study the Hydrogen-alpha ions of the warm ionized medium. It is a tenant telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), in the Coquimbo Region of northern Chile.
H-alpha is a line in the deep red part of the spectrum.

Riiight ... the Planck mission set out, explicitly, to detect low intensity microwave emissions from the CMB (as did WMAP, and plenty of other observational projects). I guess they should have consulted Mills before setting out on a fool's errand ... :p

Look into it and you will find Mills has another cosmology that doesn't involve a big bang, nor a miraculous inflation stage, nor curve fitting, nor massive proportions of exotic non baryonic matter. Yet he deduces the temperature of the CMBR, its fluctuations and polarization.
 
Mindlessly parrots Mills insanity that space based telescopes do not exist

10 December 2018 markie: Mindlessly parrots Mills insanity that space based telescopes do not exist?

Looks like more Mills' delusions.
Firstly that the phrase "hyperfine transitions" makes them invisible from ground-based telescopes. But we use ground-based telescopes to test for variations in the fine-structure constant by looking for changes in hyperfine transitions.
Secondly that Mills delusions have hyperfine transactions. The hyperfine structure is a quantum interaction between electrons and the nucleus. The nuclear spin I is quantum spin. The orbital angular momentum L is quantum.
Thirdly that space-based telescopes are not available and/or his "hyperfine transitions" are blocked by the atmosphere.
 
Glad you could have a laugh. But no it wasn't a mistake that dihydrino gas aka dark matter will be buoyant in our atmosphere.
If it's buoyant then it aint dark matter. If it's dark matter, then it aint buoyant. That's because the buoyancy force is from interacting with normal matter ie the atmosphere. It it interacts enough to actually cause it to slowly float up up and away out of this gravity well, it ain't dark matter. If it really was even real it would fly through similar to a neutrino.

But I guess nevermind, since the truth is it doesn't exist at all anyway.:rolleyes:
