I apparently was under the false impression I had read this article. I think I have confused it with the material published by Graneau in IE, Vol 2, No 10, p. 59. I think the statements I have made recently and the 1997 vortex material I posted was based on an older version of Peter Graneau's theory. I have the impression he has since decided the energy comes elimination of the electron shielding between the nuclei that is represented by the molecular bond. He thus implies that ionization of the molecule releases energy in the form of the repulsion that occurs when like charged nuclei repel, and thus that the energy to remove the electron sheilding from the bond is less than that released when the bond is formed. In other words, ionization of a molecule's constituants requires less energy than that released when the molecule is formed from a plasma. It would be very useful if someone who has access to the paper would summarize "Arc-liberated chemical energy exceeds electrical input energy", Journal of Plasma Physics, Vol.63, part 2, p.115 (2000).
