Magnecule

A magnecule is an unproven type of compound of atoms, distinct from covalent bonds and ionic compounds and hydrogen bonds. The magnecule theory was put forward by Ruggero Santilli.

The theorized existence of magnecules is highly controversial.

Numerous new substances with magnecular structures have been identified experimentally to date, among which we indicate MagneGas, MagneHydrogen, HHO, and others under industrial development."
