We will see where this leads, they have made big announcements in the past


BlackLight Power, Inc. (BLP) today announced that it has produced millions of watts of power with its breakthrough Solid Fuel-Catalyst-Induced-Hydrino-Transition (SF-CIHT) patent pending technology in its laboratories.

Their track record is poor.  It is not made better by the fact that they talk about power when they should be talking about energy delivered at some reliably measurable power level.

Stirling has a new interview with Randell Mills:
"Dr. Mills, Founder and principal stockholder of BlackLight Power, Inc., has served as Chairman of the Board, President and CEO since the company’s inception."
http://pesn.com/2014/01/20/9602425_Randell-Mills_explains_upcoming-Blacklight-power-demo/

I have to say - I'm really impressed with it:

 - He gives full technical disclosure of the principles involved
 - He explains how it works in the practical device.
 - He has written a huge book on physics, and is generally a very accomplished chap.
 - The whole thing is done in a professional & scientific way.
 - It has been independently verified, apparently.

The process itself is described in detail in his book. Fantastic. It sounds like he wants people to build them themselves - so I'll read it and see if it's something I could attempt...

BTW - Here's a link to his book:
http://www.blacklightpower.com/theory-2/book/book-download/

Update. The introduction is really intriguing:

"The observations of the acceleration of the cosmic expansion and the absence of time dilation in redshifted quasars confirm the absolute nature of spacetime."

"The correct basis of the spacetime relationships of special relativity and general relativity are inherent in the classical laws that further predict all natural phenomena on all scales from quarks to the cosmos."

The book is *pretty heavy going* for the layman... Lots of terminology and equations.

The validation-reports contain better practical info of the device though...
http://www.blacklightpower.com/technology/validation-reports/

I've just been reading this review from Jan 2012. Basically a glowing report - recommending more funding for another 24 months...:
http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/WeinbergReport.pdf

And this one. In one cell (Mo electrodes) - Average energy gain was over 242000%
i.e. 2,420 x more energy out than in!
http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/F500Study.pdf

It looks very much like the real deal...

So... They started out with a fuel-cell type device. A lot like an HHO fuel cell, called: CIHT

They fed humidified argon gas into the test cells - and occasional electric charge - and got electricity out.

Now, they have this new device, which is quite different - and clearly has an incredible power density. SF-CIHT

It seems they're zapping a tiny quantity of water with a big pulse of current - and that has the same effect - only better than the fuel cell arrangement.

The released energy of the hydrino transformation is taken up by the plasma, and it shoots out of the combustion chamber into a superconducting magnetic charge-separator - giving a huge pulse of DC.

I want one. Imagine having a MW of free electricity... I could heat my garden in winter. :)

A common problem with many OU type claims is that they are made based on measurements where the error bars are large compared to the measurement.  Ignoring their past, I am concerned that the announcement talks about huge power levels, but does not talk about energy.  This implies that they may be applying very fast signals. Measuring very fast impulses requires very special care.

Here's the patent application for the SF-CIHT device. It is over 300 pages long!  :o

http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/presentations/Power%20Generation%20Systems%20and%20Methods%20Patent%20Application.pdf

I'm just working on understanding how it's all put together...

These guys aren't making measurement errors. I'm sure of that...

I ran across them in 2010 when the Intel atom processor came out; they were on like page 50 of a search...  looked more like they were doing an andrea rossi sort of device to start; argon must have been a very long time ago...like using nickel and a taint..err something... of smoething else, only instead of allowing the collpased hydrogen proton to fuse with the nickel and become copper over time, they were stopping just short of that...

It looks pretty simple. Here's a promo vid of the machine:
http://www.blacklightpower.com/10-mw-generator/

Here's a synopsis of the process:
 - Fuel (i.e. water + catalysts) is conveyed to a small electrolysis cell
 - Large current is dumped through the fuel
 - Fuel turns into plasma & heat - hydrinos are formed - extra energy is given off
 - the plasma exits the cell into the MHD chamber (magnetohydrodynamic) where:
   It passes through a superconducting magnet, which deflects the charges, and the current is collected by electrodes at the top & bottom of the MHD chamber.

Possible problems:
 - Getting effective charge separation by the MHD process. Plasma is highly conductive...
 - Electrode lifespan

This is basically 'exploding water' - like all the youtube vids - but done big...

This is a good one! Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DuDQG0Xg1s

It's also similar to: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Chukanov_Quantum_Energy_LLC

Imagine having a MW of free electricity.... for a microsecond.

Then imagine having to pump up your capacitor bank..... yet again...... over many seconds, using more "free electricity" _energy_ than you get from the other end in that microsecond.

Then figure in the energy cost to keep your MHD magnet superconducting.


Power is not energy. Energy is conserved, even in the latest "world changer" from BLP.

According to the patent, it's a continuous process, and while it does take a big whack of amps to 'ignite the fuel', it's supposed to return much more...

True, they use some power, but it's all relative...

Sure, but this is like a 'state-change' - from hydrogen to hydrino. Energy is released from one form into another... He's not claiming energy from 'the vacuum' or anything like that. He seems to have accounted for every bit of energy in the system - in some seriously tedious detail... ;)

A good page on water explosions:
http://tesla3.com/free_websites/water_explosion.html

"At MIT (6,7). It was shown that the discharge of 3.6 kJ of stored capacitor energy would create pressures in excess of 20.000 atm. In 7 ml of water. 3.6 gm of water was ejected from an accelerator barrel at a velocity of the order of 1000m/s, sufficient to penetrate a ¼" thick aluminium plate."

"While not in all, but in many discharges under differing experimental conditions of varying capacitance, initial voltage and water volume, the kinetic energy of the water jet was larger than the electrical energy that had been stored in the capacitor bank."

"… A 2 mf capacitor was charged to voltages in the 1-10 kV range and discharged into a water column through a 38 mH inductor. At voltages up to about 6 kV, the water acted as a relatively high resistance and the circuit decayed as an overdamped RLC circuit.

Resistance decreased with time. When the resistance dropped below about 10 W (Ohms?), the water would explode if the capacitor still had sufficient energy."

Nope ... not buying that anymore.   Energy is NOT conserved.    From physics Professor Pappas: 
http://www.papimi.gr/another.htm
http://www.papimi.gr/cases/
Search the pages for "energy is not conserved" once on those pages.   He makes some compelling cases with a lot to back it up.   You just need to realize he's Greek and his typing and spelling in English isn't the best but it's understandable.   Judging from the sheer quantity of info on that web site I can imagine him pounding away at a keyboard fast and furious all day without ever using backspace to correct anything.
At least that's my view for today after pouring over his web site most of yesterday.   ;)
I've followed Blacklight for many years and think they have the brains but I'm not sure what's holding things back from getting a product to market.  Hopefully this will really be the 'game changer'.

Brains for sure...

I think it's technically really difficult, and that's holding things back...

They were aiming for a solid state fuel cell, but I guess they had problems scaling up, and this new arrangement kinda has the opposite problem - of being difficult to scale down...

'Sod's Law' is one of the laws of physics after all, eh...

The patent goes on about various ways of managing the ongoing destruction of the electrodes - due to the KiloAmp currents... There are other challenges there too - like fuel supply, and energy harvesting... None of it's easy.
