What is protium? The hydrogen path in plain English
Protium is ordinary hydrogen: one proton, no neutrons. It is the most common hydrogen there is, and it sits at the center of Bendall’s claimed energy path.
Plain definition
The plain definition
Hydrogen comes in a few forms (isotopes). Protium, written ¹H, is the one with a single proton — nearly all the hydrogen in water.
Inventor claim
The study path
Water → cavitation → plasmoids → CTR (contra-rotating) spheres → harvest ¹H → work. In this picture, water (protium) is the real fuel and petrol is kindling.
The model also ties protium’s melting point, −259.2 °C, into the 518,400 number family. That link is inventor-model, not site-verified.
Measured
What is measured
The Embry-Riddle test — an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University master’s (M.S.) thesis (2026), with the road-test hardware supplied by the manufacturer, Plasmoid Power — found, under the conditions tested, a 9.67% lower fuel-use rate on a small generator and about 8.7% better fuel economy on a one-vehicle road test. In an idle test, carbon monoxide (CO) fell by about 34%, while carbon dioxide (CO₂), oxygen and hydrocarbons did not change significantly.
The meter did not verify a closed water or protium cycle. Water-as-fuel stays study material until fuller dyno and isotope work lands.
