Speaking of demos, has anyone tried the simple "snare" idea proposed by
Tom Droege (almost a year ago) to trap the Mills postulated shrunken
hydrogen?

The assumption was that such hydrogen would diffuse more easily through
most materials.  So he put a B+W TV set under his apparatus and turned it
on.  The idea was that any sub-hydrogen diffusing into the picture tube
through the glass envelop would have a good chance of being "scanned"
by the sweeping electron beam.  This collision would supply enough energy
to the sub-hydrogen to knock it back to normal hydrogen.   And the normal
hydrogen would have a much more difficult time diffusing back out of the
TV tube because of its physically larger orbital dimensions.

So the hydrogen would be trapped inside the TV tube.  After a period of
this hydrogen capture mechanism, the TV picture would start to distort,
a sort of smearing effect from the constant collisions of the beam with
the hydrogen gas.  This is known as a "gassy" TV picture tube, a common
and fairly easy to diagnos failure mode.
