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.
Using a proprietary water-based solid fuel confined by two electrodes of a SF-CIHT cell, and applying a current of 12,000 amps through the fuel, water ignites into an extraordinary flash of power. The fuel can be continuously fed into the electrodes to continuously output power. BlackLight has produced millions of watts of power in a volume that is one ten thousandths of a liter corresponding to a power density of over an astonishing 10 billion watts per liter. As a comparison, a liter of BlackLight power source can output as much power as a central power generation plant exceeding the entire power of the four former reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history.
Our safe, non-polluting power-producing system catalytically converts the hydrogen of the H2O-based solid fuel into a non-polluting product, lower-energy state hydrogen called “Hydrino”, by allowing the electrons to fall to smaller radii around the nucleus. The energy release of H2O fuel, freely available in the humidity in the air, is one hundred times that of an equivalent amount of high-octane gasoline. The power is in the form of plasma, a supersonic expanding gaseous ionized physical state of the fuel comprising essentially positive ions and free electrons that can be converted directly to electricity using highly efficient magnetohydrodynamic converters. Simply replacing the consumed H2O regenerates the fuel. Using readily-available components, BlackLight has developed a system engineering design of an electric generator that is closed except for the addition of H2O fuel and generates ten million watts of electricity, enough to power ten thousand homes. Remarkably, the device is less than a cubic foot in volume. To protect its innovations and inventions, multiple worldwide patent applications have been filed on BlackLight’s proprietary technology.
This breakthrough transformational power technology can be witnessed in a live demonstration hosted by BlackLight of on January 28th at 11 AM. Details and updates will be posted at the company website (http://www.blacklightpower.com/). Those interested in attending can contact BlackLight to preregister for this limited availability event.
Applications and markets for the SF-CIHT cell extend across the global power spectrum, including thermal, stationary electrical power, motive, and defense. Given the independence from existing infrastructure, grid in the case of electricity and fuels in the case of motive power, the SF-CIHT power source is a further game changer for all forms of transportation: automobile, freight trucks, rail, marine, aviation, and aerospace in that the power density is one million times that of the engine of a Formula One racer, and ten million times that of a jet engine. The SF-CIHT cell uses cheap, abundant, nontoxic, commodity chemicals, with no apparent long-term supply issues that might preclude commercial, high volume manufacturing. The projected cost of the SF-CIHT cell is between $10 and $100/kW compared to over one hundred times that for conventional power sources of electricity.
BlackLight’s previously reported pioneering solid fuels and CIHT electrochemical cell use the same catalyst as the newly invented SF-CIHT cells, and they served as a model for Dr. Mills to invent the breakthrough plasma producing SF-CIHT cell. These background technologies have been validated by industry. BlackLight’s results of multiples of the maximum theoretical energy release for representative solid fuels was replicated at Perkin Elmer’s Field Application Laboratory at their facility using their commercial instrument. Moreover, our advanced CIHT electrochemical cell was independently replicated offsite as well.
“We at The ENSER Corporation have performed about thirty tests at our premises using BLP’s CIHT electrochemical cells of the type that were tested and reported by BLP in the Spring of 2012, and achieved the three specified goals,” said Dr. Ethirajulu Dayalan, Engineering Fellow, of The ENSER Corporation. “We independently validated BlackLight’s results offsite by an unrelated highly qualified third party. We confirmed that hydrino was the product of any excess electricity observed by three analytical tests on the cell products, and determined that BlackLight Power had achieved fifty times higher power density with stabilization of the electrodes from corrosion.” Dr. Terry Copeland, who managed product development for several electrochemical and energy companies including DuPont Company and Duracell added, “Dr. James Pugh (then Director of Technology at ENSER) and Dr. Ethirajulu Dayalan participated with me in the independent tests of CIHT cells at The ENSER Corporation’s Pinellas Park facility in Florida starting on November 28, 2012. We fabricated and tested CIHT cells capable of continuously producing net electrical output that confirmed the fifty-fold stable power density increase and hydrino as the product.”
The disclosure of one of BlackLight’s patent application that was recently-filed worldwide, its 10 MW electric SF-CIHT cell system engineering design and simulation, high-speed video of millions of watts of supersonically expanding SF-CIHT cell plasma, The ENSER Corporation and Dr. Terry Copeland validation reports on the prior generation CIHT electrochemical cells, and the Perkin Elmer report on solid fuels are publicly available on BlackLight’s webpage (http://www.blacklightpower.com/). Technical papers by BlackLight providing the experimental tests of plasma to electric conversion, results of excess energy production from solid fuels, results of continuous electricity production at fifty times higher power density than prior generation CIHT electrochemical cells, and the detailed chemistry and identification of Hydrinos by ten analytical methods that laboratories can follow and replicate are given at http://www.blacklightpower.com/.
About BlackLight Power
BlackLight Power, Inc. is the inventor of a new primary energy source applicable to essentially all power applications such as thermal, electrical, automotive, trucking, rail, marine, aviation, aerospace, and defense. The BlackLight Process, the power source, is the process of releasing the latent energy of the hydrogen atom by forming Hydrinos. The SF-CIHT cell was invented by Dr. Mills to release this energy directly as electricity from water as the only source of fuel.
For more information, please visit http://www.blacklightpower.com/
Glossary:
BlackLight Process: A novel chemical process invented by Dr. Mills causing the latent energy stored in the hydrogen atom to be released as a new primary energy source.
Hydrino: Hydrinos are a new form of hydrogen theoretically predicted by Dr. Mills and produced and characterized by BLP. Hydrinos are produced during the BlackLight Process as energy is released from the hydrogen atom as the electron transitions to a lower-energy state resulting in a smaller radius hydrogen atom. The identity of the dark matter of the universe as Hydrinos is supported by BlackLight’s spectroscopic and analytical results as well as astrophysical observations.
SF-CIHT Cell: Each SF-CIHT cell comprises two electrodes that confine a highly electrically conducive H2O-based solid fuel that serves as a source of reactants to form Hydrinos. A low-voltage, very high current (about one thousand times that of household currents) ignites the water to form hydrinos and cause a burst of plasma power of millions of watts that can be directly converted to electricity using proven plasma to electric power conversion technology such as a magnetohydrodynamic converter.
Magnetohydrodynamic Converter: An electrical generator that uses no moving parts. It comprises a magnet as in a conventional generator, but the conductor that moves in this case is the flowing plasma that produces a voltage at a pair of electrodes that are perpendicular to both the direction of plasma flow and the magnetic field of the magnet.

I can translate btus/bucket into joules . Only kevmo can convert them to watts
kevmo do you recognize the number
1.6x10^19?
With at EE degree you should know it and its significance.
Uh, no again. Never seen a coal train stop in a few seconds. Those locomotives use dynamic braking, and they dissipate heat through massive fan cooled power resistors for minutes on end. Even at the lumber mill level, servo trays running 100hp cutting motors across the planks easily stress resistors near continuously.
***So, you expect every engineer to know trains just because you do? So, these trains carry coal in buckets so we’re expected to do Joules/bucket or somesuch ridiculous unit conversions in our head just because you’re a Freeping train nerd?
Thank you for the late AM lolz! Back to work..
You see, in thermal engineering, more than the ohm and watt requirement are important. You just haven’t thought big enough, or oversimplified the problem in your head.
***And yet, as simple as things are in my head, none of you skeptopaths will address the energy density hypothetical.
Kevmo:“I don’t think you got it any more than the other guy. He says that 1MW means 1MWH, that it’s a short-handed thing in, well, the coal industry. And all of us should know how the coal industry talks about such short hand because, well, coal used to be delivered by hand to each household or something like that.”
Aqua: It’s you that isn’t getting it. Power systems like generating plants or nuclear reactors are rated for continuous operation. To determine the energy developed by such a system, time MUST BE A FACTOR. Energy without time is instantaneous power, and a absolutely worthless number to have around for a power plant.
***And your point is? This whole thing got started around the lenght of a pulse, and I pointed out that the original article says that “The fuel can be continuously fed into the electrodes to continuously output power. “ You would presume to lecture me on the differences between Volts/bucket-o-coal or some stupid thing over that? It just points out how much of an asshole you are.
Again, power resistors have everything you need to calculate the limit of energy you can ask them to convert to heat and dissipate. This is Joules. Joules.
***So, then your answer to the questin of “Where is the “Joule” setting on your multimeter?” is crickets. There is no Joule setting on the DVMs I’ve used. You can lecture me all you want on the differences between Joules and coal-lump-Volts but it won’t change the fact that your setting on the DVM does not say Joules, it says Watts. I wish it did say Joules, because then at least it would keep assholes from presuming as much as you do.
Why don’t you just go look this term up rather than beating around the proverbial bush?
***Uh, you’re the one who didn’t answer the question. But you continue to move forward in your browbeating attempt to show something that I already showed at the beginning of the thread. Gee, perhaps now you’re getting it, about to realize just how much of an asshole you’ve been shown to be.
Anything related to thermal dissipation of power, deals with Joules. Yes, electrical resistance is in ohms, but the derating values are VERY VERY REAL.
***Ho hum, more browbeating and lecturing from you over something that I showed at the beginning of the thread.
You aren’t going to stop a locomotive with the calculated max watt power resistor for a given resistance. You will melt it down. The resistor has to be able to take the full ENERGY load (which is in Joules) and convert to heat energy.
***More train nerd stuff. Perhaps you think that DVMs should have TrainBraking ratings? And some engineer who has never used such a rating in his life should be expected to do the mental conversion to Watts or whatever in his head?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackLight_Power In 2008 Park [Robert L. Park, emeritus professor of physics at the University of Maryland,] also wrote: "BlackLight Power (BLP), founded 17 years ago as HydroCatalysis, announced last week that the company had successfully tested a prototype power system that would generate 50 KW of thermal power. BLP anticipates delivery of the new power system in 12 to 18 months. The BLP process,[53] discovered by Randy Mills, is said to coax hydrogen atoms into a "state below the ground state," called the "hydrino." There is no independent scientific confirmation of the hydrino, and BLP has a patent problem. So they have nothing to sell but bull shit. The company is therefore dependent on investors with deep pockets and shallow brains." – Park[54]
This is the heart and soul of your problem. You think a press release is a peer-reviewed paper.
The difference between a con man producing a pulse of power for a nanosecond that may contain a milli-joule of actual energy, and then claiming : "but of course we can do this continuously," is the difference between having an actual reactor and having a device which does nothing more than separate ignoramuses from their money.
IF the device can be operated continuously, why has it not been? This is why your ridiculous fallback to the claim that "running the 'reactor' for 20,000 seconds is a 'hypothetical'" is so lame.
Real generators are supposed to run all the time. That's why -- for a real generator -- the difference between a KWH and a KW or a KWs and a KW or a KWY and a KW DON'T MATTER. Because in a typical year, a real generator or reactor will be running all year except for [possibly] short maintenance periods.
For this device the distinction matters because the "inventor" has never produced the slightest proof [and his own bloviating assurances aren't proof] that his machine can produce power for any significant length of time, and why, in this case, quoting "wattage" is part of his con. Absent sustained capability, we are left with the suspicion that he's simply charging capacitors or some other smoke-and-mirrors gimmick that isn't doing anything more than storing the power from the wall for an "impressive" discharge.
“***It’s getting old now that Exar updated their website.”
The whole website is broken, not just that link.
“***Given what I’ve seen about you, I wouldn’t trust you because you’re as slimy as an eel.”
No for the other engineers on this site, they know I am pretty much right.
“***Since I do know my stuff, if I had published that the resistor was dissipating too much heat in Joules, my boss would have changed it to the industry standard of Watts. If you knew YOUR stuff, you’d know that.”
It’s “engineers” like you who cause thermal issues in the field. You don’t even understand the basic concepts, you just “cook book” it, and hope you have low warranty returns. So typical of the laziness of many. Did you happen to work on the XBOX 360 by any chance?
If you don’t plan for the amount of thermal *energy* you are dumping into a system, your stuff will more than likely fail rapidly. Sorry you can’t see this, most UC engineers I know, are actually very smart. You give them a bad name.
“***Perhaps you’ll get around to showing why DVMs have Watts on them as a measurement, but not Joules. But you won’t. Because you don’t know what you are talking about.”
Ever heard of energy measurement devices like the Kill-A-Watt? There are much more advanced and accurate systems that can cover more than a 120VAC wall socket, but the idea is the same. Energy consumption measurement. And the company I work for uses the technology all the time to find out the effect of clock speeds in system power consumption.
Bet you didn’t know, that in a device as simple as a cellphone, we deal with energy consumption, not power consumption. It’s better to pull a large amount of current for very short duration and quickly finish a code segment or subroutine, than plod along at it at low current consumption in many cases. Why? Because though watts spike high, the overall energy pulled from the battery is actually lower.
Anybody who strictly judges their world from the concept of watts, vs. Joules would never figure this out. And they’d never be able to see beyond their basic DVM. And they’d sell cellphones that ran about 15m before needing a recharge, if even that.
That’s the real world, and has nothing to do with trains. Interesting to see with your vast ignorant ramblings how you will attack that. I know these as facts, not as some pie in the sky that evidently you deal with, with your peers.
“***So then what is your problem? If someone says the sun rises in the morning, do you get all huffy and puffy about them not knowing the solar cycle? Basically, you just proved to the forum that you’re an incredible asshole.”
More name calling, love it! Ignorance demonstrated, proven, measured and confirmed! Topped off with some name calling to cement my position :)
For a train driver, he has to do the lookup or the calculation, based on his tonnage.
An engineer came up with the formula or the lookup table. Go figure, your just too ignorant to realize it. After all, the kinetic *energy* stored in the train is the most important part, and all energy can be expressed as Joules.
It can’t be expressed as Watts, since that is power, not energy.
Since your comment earlier in the thread mentioned cold fusion, I thought you were talking about Rossi, not Black Light Power.
I mean with you it has appeared to be "all Rossi, all the time", no matter what the actual topic of the thread, so the assumption that Rossi was who you were referring to can be understood.
And I'm no more a charlatan than you are. Actually, I'm probably less of one. "I" at least have studied the published papers on LENR. I would venture to guess that you have not.
If you actually knew any physics, you'd understand why BLP's claims are nothing more than arrant nonsense -- and contrary to what Kevmo claims, Mills doesn't claim to be doing LENR, and the argument isn't about some arbitrary semantic dividing line between LENR and HENR.
Hydrinos.
Seriously?
That hasn't stopped desperate "cold fusion" "scientists" from latching on to Mills ridiculous "theories," claiming that his bizarre mechanism is actually what facilitates LENR, though he himself claims no such thing. In a sense they're actually both right: Hydrinos are crap, just like "cold fusion." They are both explained by the same underlying mechanism: con men and their thoroughly duped enablers.
Your lack of reading comprehension is only underscored when you chop things up into unusable parts
Of my you are so delusional
Well, no one can convert BTUs to Watts. They aren’t equivalent. Wish you’d turn up that brain power and quite making fun of yourself in a public internet forum.
What I have studied are the published papers on experimental studies of LENR. Not all of them, but more than sufficient to understand that LENR is real science, done by real scientists. Which is more than you have done.
FYI, I put no credence in BLP, either in theory or fact. I ran across them originally quite a few years back, and, although at the time, it appeared they might have something, I simply forgot about them until this latest episode popped up. My own judgment is that they have had more than sufficient time to bring something to market (kind of like the "hot fusion" boys, who have had even more), and have not done so.
You have done nothing on these thread but try to shout down, shut out, and prevent discussion. Those are NOT the actions of a legitimate practitioner of science. You claim to be a retired scientist, but I don't think the act of retiring frees you from the practice of scientific ethics, of which you have given no indication, either of understanding or practice.
Your actions have been those of a propagandist.
OTOH, over all these threads, "I" have simply said "look at the data", and told folks where they can find data.
My PhD is in chemistry, and I have dedicated my entire career to methods and devices to "make better measurements", which, not "theory" is the fundamental basis of science. I know more than enough to judge the quality of the experiments run and whether or not the experimental methodologies were valid and correctly applied.
I certainly claim no deep knowledge of nuclear physics, but none are needed to make a qualified judgment of the experiments performed.
Once again, I really hope you get an education before working on power electronics.
***And I would hope that you could stop being an asshole. But I have an EE degree already, but there appears to be no hope for you.
Kevmo: “Tell ya what. If you answer the power density question, we can get down to whatever units you want to discuss.”
***And lookie here, the guy didn’t answer the hypothetical. Yet he presumes to lecture me on power electronics.
Oh, you want me to bow to the black box Rossi is pushing
***Really? I ask you to address a hypothetical and that’s what you get out of the request? I ask you to give the answer to the hypothetical of “what is 1 Watt + 1 Watt”, will you be delivering a soliloquy on how all the mathematicians are in cahoots with eachother on this conspiracy?
but can’t demonstrate either commercially or convincingly to a small platoon of 7 scientists?
***Since when does a scientific demo have to be demonstrated commercially to anyone’s satisfaction other than the guy buying it? And Rossi DID demo to the small platoon, not that has anything to do with you answering simple hypotheticals. Geez, you’re an asshole.
No, won’t be agreeing on that today. Don’t care how many people you scam in intrade, etc.
***And yet, you presume to lecture me on power electronics. But what you seem to have missed is that upthread, where you think I made some mistake on some unit, I didn’t make that mistake. You just presumed I made it and proceeded from that assumption to push your asshole perspective. Perhaps the proper unit you should be promoting would be BTUs per asshole, since you can include yourself in the unit calculations.
E-Cat is dead, and you know it, even if you can’t admit it.
***Yet another skeptopath who wants to talk about Rossi on a LENR thread. Geez, are all you guys taking asshole training? Or is it just genetic...
He continues to burn through people’s hard earned money, probably on caviar and fine drink, while building these black boxes that he refuses to allow anyone inside of.
***Your concern for fraud is duly noted. Yet, you’re silent on the fraud of hundreds of $billions spent on controlled-hot-fusion, because the asshole bandwagon index is so high for that technology.
Definition of con artist. Just like Blacklight. Patent it, let the secret go.
***Wow, you’re pretty dumb for a skeptopath. Cold Fusion patents are suppressed in the USPTO. So there is no IP protection in this area of interest. But we shouldn’t expect stupid people like you to really come up to speed on such a topic.
I mean, people would find out anyway. I’d give it 3 hours before a instructable about how to tear down your e-cat would appear on some howto website, if such a thing actually existed at all.
***What are you droning on about? If you were in the position of an inventor who couldn’t get IP protection, how would you sell your stuff? You already are aware of the tremendous desire on the part of customers to tear it down. Oh, I know, you don’t address hypotheticals because you’re so obviously smarter than anyone else in the universe.
The reason he won’t release is because the free “investment” money ride would be over. No more caviar and champagne.
***Why would someone sitting on a $Trillion gold mine sell it for a $Million? And where’s your concern for the hundreds of $billions of hot-fusion fraud?
1 J = 1W*s = 0.000277777778 watts * hour
***Gee, you’ve demonstrated that you can look up a conversion table but you can’t address a hypothetical as simple as “what is 1Watt + 1 Watt”.
That you don’t know this
***You’ve been moving forward on this presumption for a long time on this thread. But any lurker can look upthread and see that NOWHERE did I demonstrate such a lack of knowledge. Now that the mods have seen that the assholes like you are ganging up on me, that means they’ve decided to keep this thread up rather than shut it down like all the others. So all I have to do is get you assholes to do the gang up and then I can finally respond in kind. Thanks for your participation.
is further proof of your lack of any professional knowledge of physics or engineering.
***No, it’s proof that you are a first class asshole. Thanks for your involvement.
I was hoping you’d at least trap me on some nuance or such,
***I did. To put it simply, all this bullshit you’ve been lecturing me on is all on the basis of a PRESUMPTION on your part. Upthread any lurker can see that your presumption is not based on any reality.
but you have nothing. Zilch. Nada.
***We have this thread. So many have been pulled by the mods because I was getting the better of the asshole skeptopaths that it was just a matter of finding out how many punches I need to take before they decide that they want the thread to stand rather than take it down. So what I now have is a good idea of how far you assholes are allowed to go in order to keep the thread open. Thanks. Keep up the good work, asshole.
Which means every god you pray too in free energy other than the God of Israel, I definitely mistrust.
***Well, you really are going off the edge here.
I guess we are lucky you are so unprepared to forward your thoughts. Probably has saved many from the scams you love forwarding along.
***If you’re so awesome at protecting people from scams, where are your loud viturperations against the scam of hot-fusion which has sucked down hundreds of $billions of taxpayer money? Huh? Nowhere. Because you’re a bandwagon jumper.
it became apparent he is incapable of understanding the difference between a watt and joule
***Where did that become apparent? Just because you decided to jump on a bandwagon of assholes doesn’t mean I ever demonstrated a lack of understanding. You presume it, but it ain’t so.
resistance is measured in ohms. resistors are rated in watts.
***True enough. Basically a typo. But it is telling how you jump on someone over a typo. You don’t answer the hypothetical, you don’t further the science. It means you prefer to be an asshole rather than further the science. The asshole bandwagon rating for hot-fusion is very high, and necessitates you to spit on the high-science rating of LENR.
A VMP post is measured in Asshole*Bandwagon*Luddite units. He presumes that where others from his asshole bandwagon have jumped on a fellow freeper, that they must have been right so he jumps right in. But any lurker can check upthread to see that what this vmp asshole has been saying simply did not happen. He presumed it and went forward with vigor, displaying the true Luddite anti-science motivation behind the actions.
You’re basically saying the same Luddite anti-science bullshit, so I might as well start cutting & pasting my responses to you.
