Mechanism


Each CIHT cell comprises a positive electrode, the cathode, a negative electrode, the anode, and an electrolyte that also serves as a source of reactants to form Hydrinos.

A Hydrino-producing reaction mixture creates electricity from H2O as the reactants are constituted with the migration of the electrons through an external circuit and ion mass transport through a separate internal path through the electrolyte to complete an electrical circuit.

No it’s not. Just the water heater alone draws more.

I thought we had Niagra Falls doing that for a long time now. Tesla!

From the article:

Dr. James Pugh, Director of Technology at The ENSER Corporation.

“Representatives from the ENSER Corporation witnessed the assembly and operation of multiple CIHT cells, and the results showed excess electrical energy, up to 100 times that used to maintain the process in cells run as long as sixty days,” said Dr. Pugh. “There is no apparent difficulty in assembling single cell and multi-cell units, in a production scale environment. By carefully designing and optimizing the CIHT cell, a one-liter volume could generate 3.3 kW. This is greater than that necessary for motive as well as stationary electrical power applications.”

From the article:

Dr. K.V. Ramanujachary, Rowan University Meritorious Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

“BlackLight’s CIHT electrochemical cell harnesses this fundamentally new primary energy source as electrical output by using a catalyst to cause hydrogen atoms of water molecules to transition to a lower-energy, Hydrino state, resulting in a release of energy that is intermediate between chemical and nuclear energies, and a nonpolluting product,” said Dr. Ramanujachary, who conducted one of the validation studies. “The CIHT cells constantly output stable, very high-gain electrical power for more than a month, with H2O as the only source of fuel for the process. The trace H2O vapor was supplied by a water source, or alternatively, it was extracted directly from the air, resulting in generation of electricity from water alone. This process and system that I have confirmed is truly exceptional.”

About BlackLight Power

BlackLight Power, Inc. was incorporated in 1991 and is based in the Princeton area of New Jersey. It has received 62 patents including four in the U.S., and has more than 100 pending patent applications for its innovative processes, process applications, and products.

The BlackLight Process uses a novel catalytic process to generate energy from water vapor, releasing the latent energy of the hydrogen atom by forming a more stable form of hydrogen called Hydrinos. The Process is applicable to essentially all power applications, including thermal, electrical, automotive, trucking, marine, rail, aviation, and aerospace.

If it is a good bet idea, private investors ought to give it a go.

But private investors have been trained to go to government, for risky ventures. Let the taxpayers fund the losers, leaving their money own for the eventual winners.

It would be one thing if the government money only funded risky R & D, but these days the government money is going into commercial scale risky projects like Solyndra.

Dr. Mills says that BlackLight has achieved critical milestones in scaling its new technology with typical electrical gain of more than ten times that which initiates the process, operating over long duration at the 10 Watt (W) scale. A 100 W unit is planned for completion by the end of 2012, and a 1.5 kiloWatt (kW) pilot unit that can serve the residential power market, as an initial target commercial application, is expected to be operational by 2013. (One kW is equal to 1000 W, and 1.5 kW is the typical, average power consumption of a US home.)

Was interested until I read the above paragraph.
Looks like they have limited scalability (maybe size problems).
If they would be talking 10KW to 15 KW range, I would be interested.
1.5 KW would hardly be enough for a smallish, pull behind camper.
I have a 15KW diesel tractor turned aux. for the house with a 5.5 KW gasoline backup for it.
The 5.5 will run lights, a few fans and fridge, that's it.

I’ll believe it when I see it ... maybe. Meanwhile, I still have faith in the laws of thermodynamics, which pretty much say this is bogus.

All of this depends on being able to push hydrogen atoms to achieve a state lower than the currently known ground state.

With the abundance of hydrogen in the universe, one would think we would have seen these hydrinos in the wild... but alas, we have not.

Which calls into question the assumptions that they can be made to exist.

So they are separating the Hydrogen from the Oxygen or are they just Manipulating the Atoms and Molecules ?

The best part is that it uses up water, so we won’t have to worry about that rising sea level problem ;-)

But where are we going to store all those hydrinos, whatever the heck they are?

BlackLight Power, Inc. (BLP). . .

Thanks for the "pump and dump" heads-up.

...converts ubiquitous H2O (water) vapor directly into electricity, oxygen, and a new, more stable form of Hydrogen called Hydrino, which releases 200 times more energy than directly burning hydrogen,”..

aka Electrolysis.
Apparently they are able to electrolyze water vapor, that's pretty neat. But whether it produces more energy than it consumes..?
Hydrino?

Electricity Generated From Water

Sounds like the type of scam Obama would fall for and use taxpayer’s funds to promote its demise.
