I can offer an explanation, in terms of the Mills theory (which I don't
believe):
The Mills theory explains the excess heat as coming mainly from hydrogen atoms
falling to a lower energy state, one of the 1/N states. For this to work, the
resulting hydrinos would have to remain as such indefinitely, otherwise you'd
reabsorb the heat, and no excess. This would explain why Mills does not
believe in a biological hazard. For the hydrino to do something chemical, it
would have to get back up to a normal state, or be ionised.
