great! where can i buy one?

[backwoods-engineer]

Color me skeptical.

What is the Power in to Power out ratio ?

[Kartographer]

[Jeff Chandler]

[Amendment10]

Giving the OP a cursory reading, I hope that something comes out of this.

[Rio]

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides for a plasma reactor to generate power and novel hydrogen species and compositions of matter comprising new forms of hydrogen via the catalysis of atomic hydrogen and to generate a plasma and a source of light, the reactor comprising: a plasma forming energy cell for the catalysis of atomic hydrogen to form novel lower-energy hydrogen species and compositions of matter comprising new forms of lower-energy hydrogen, a source of catalyst for catalyzing the reaction of atomic hydrogen to form the lower-energy hydrogen and release energy, a source of atomic hydrogen, and a source of intermittent or pulsed power to at least partially maintain the plasma.

No.

I am sick of these misleading ads and “press releases.” You got it? Show it! Sell it! If it works, you’ll have lines that stretch for miles. But there aren’t because you don’t.

Just stop it already.

[The Working Man]

In other news the Blacklight Power Corporations offices and main research facility mysteriously burned to the ground today. The flames were so hot that the girders were melting an observer stated... /s

[editor-surveyor]

They’re probably going to have a terrible accident soon.

[Erik Latranyi]

Gee, if I applied 12,000 amps at 83 volts to something, I would have 1 million watts as well!

What a bogus story!!!!!

[sefarkas]

In a paper published in Physics Letters A, Norman Dombey concluded that Mills' theoretical hydrino states are unphysical. For the hydrino states, the binding strength increases as the strength of the electric potential decreases, with maximum binding strength when the potential has disappeared completely, where Dombey remarked "We could call these anomalous states "homeopathic" states because the smaller the coupling, the larger the effect." The model also assumes that the nuclear charge distribution is a point rather than having an arbitrarily small non-zero radius. It also lacks an analogous solution in the Schrödinger equation, which governs non-relativistic systems. Dombey concluded: "We suggest that outside of science fiction this is sufficient reason to disregard them." From a suggestion in Dombey's paper, further work by Antonio Di Castro has shown that states below the ground state, as described in Mills' work, are incompatible with the Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, key equations in the study of quantum systems.

Actual picture.

So, BLP has something to demo. Let’s see what happens on the 28th. They’ve had 60 million in financing. Although I think people are gullible and don’t know science but they do see an investment opportunity, nevertheless, I’m sure there are also smart investors who must have seen something. Hopefully these tests are backed by some independent outsiders measuring the input and output.

Is the BLP process even LENR or is it something else? Since they are working with hydrogen it would seem to be fusion but I think they only end up with hydrogen ‘hydrinos’ so I don’t think this is true LENR.

They also are working with folks from Rowan university which is a real university, Randall Mills has a real chemical engineering degree as well as an MD from Harvard, no diploma mill for him. I’ve been following BLP for a while. It would be awesome if they have something so I hope it isn’t a Rossi type demo where outside people can’t measure the inputs or outputs.

If there was an easy,cheap and clean way to produce an electrical current, mankind would have discovered it by now.

[Greysard]

catalytically converts the hydrogen of the H2O-based solid fuel into a non-polluting product, lower-energy state hydrogen called “Hydrino”

OK, let's assume H₂O is converted into H'₂O. Let's also assume that this substance has energy that can be exploited. What is the "exhaust" of such a system?

It can't be much else than H and O, I would presume (and hope - even if we can transmute them into something else, we'll run out of water.) Or maybe H'. What happens to them after that? How will we get the water back? What mechanism would *add* energy that we extracted to produce the water?

The article does not talk about it, saying instead "just take more water." But there is only so much water on Earth. We must have a process that converts the exhaust back into water; and if we extracted energy from water, the laws of physics tell us that someone has to spend energy to recreate the water. What is the source of that energy?

It may be, of course, "dark matter" and "dark energy," but then I'd like to see a 1 GW power plant first. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

[tacticalogic]

ten million watts of electricity, enough to power ten thousand homes.

10MW/10000 homes = 1000 Watts per home.

[PLMerite]

Whatever happened to that LENR guy (Rossi?)? When is his sh!t going to hit the market?
