ADVANTAGE - The increased binding energy hydrogen compound prepared by this method is greater than 50 (preferably greater than 90, especially greater than 98) atomic percent pure; and is capable of exhibiting at least one unique property (including unique stoichiometry, unique chemical structure, at least one extraordinary chemical properties such as conductivity, melting point, boiling point, density, and refractive index, unique reactivity to other elements and compounds; enhanced stability at room temperature and above and/or enhanced stability in air and/or water) which distinguishes them from the corresponding compound comprising ordinary hydrogen, if such ordinary hydrogen compound exists.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Forming (M1) an increased binding energy hydrogen compound (I) comprising: (a) at least one neutral, positive, or negative increased binding energy hydrogen species having a binding energy (i) greater than the binding energy of the corresponding ordinary hydrogen species, or (ii) greater than the binding energy of any hydrogen species for which the corresponding ordinary hydrogen species is unstable or is not observed because the ordinary hydrogen species binding energy is less than thermal energies at ambient conditions, or is negative; and (b) at least one other element, involves: reacting a gaseous catalyst (C1) comprising at least one selected from lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), krypton (Kr), rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), palladium (Pd), tin (Sn), tellurium (Te), cesium (Cs), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), samarium (Sm), gadolinium (Gd), dysprosium (Dy), lead (Pb), and platinum (Pt), with a gaseous hydrogen atoms, thereby forming hydrino from the gaseous hydrogen atoms; and reacting the hydrino with at least one selected from a source of electrons in combination with at least one other element, hydrogen proton (H+), increased binding energy hydrogen species, and other elements to form the compound (I). INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) making (M2) a compound comprising a hydrino atom and at least one other element, involving: reacting hydrogen atoms with the gaseous catalyst (C1) to form hydrino atoms; and reacting the hydrino atoms with at least one other element to form the compound;    (2) extracting (M3) energy from hydrogen atoms involving: reacting the gaseous catalyst (C1) with the gaseous hydrogen atoms, thereby releasing energy from the gaseous hydrogen atoms; and    (3) a cell for extracting energy from hydrogen atoms comprising: either a reaction vessel; a source of gaseous hydrogen atoms; and a source of the gaseous catalyst (C1); or a reaction vessel; a chamber communicating with the vessel, and containing gaseous hydrogen atoms or source of the hydrogen atoms; and a catalyst reservoir communicating with the reaction vessel or a boat contained in the reaction vessel, where the catalyst reservoir or boat containing the gaseous catalyst (C1).
