I have a problem with this particular construct. This "negative temperatures" is described as being hotter than all temperatures above absolute zero which suggests the presence of a error somewhere in the chain of reasoning. > This goes beyond semantics in a way when we get down to specifics -- since > the actual energy content of dense hydrogen, for instance, must be less > than the natural species – assuming that it gave up energy in order to > reach a dense state.

If it is possible to make or harvest hydrinos with less energy than you can get out of them when they are re-inflated then hydrinos could serve as a primary source of energy. If not they can "only" serve a secondary source of energy. Harry
