Excellent!

Either the technology is real and there is competition, therefore the race will be on in earnest to roll out the technology as fast as possible and the price will fall.

Or...

It’s a scam and there is competition, the race will still be on in earnest to roll out the fake technology, speeding the day when the scam is exposed.

Seems like one application is to use the heat produced to desalinate water (by-product).

De-salination is something that would help a number of cities as well as countries like Israel and other countries in the Middle East...

Brillouin’s power equation is 2.4 units of energy going in and 24 units coming out.

What 'units'? Ergs? Joules? Horsepower? Watts? Calories? BTU's? A 'gain' of 10 whatevers is meaningless without some base for comparison............

All these crooks are selling licenses and distribution rights. Nobody’s selling a working device.

Brillouin’s CECR starts by introducing hydrogen into a suitable piece of nickel (or other metal with the correct internal geometry). A proprietary electronic pulse generator then creates stress points in the metal where the applied energy is focused into very small spaces. This concentrated energy allows some of the protons in the hydrogen to capture an electron, and thus become a neutron. This step converts a small amount of energy into mass in the neutron.

More pulses both create more neutrons and allow neutrons to combine with some of the hydrogen to form deuterium (a form of hydrogen with both a proton and a neutron in the nucleus). This ‘combination’ step releases energy. The process continues, again, with some neutrons combining with deuterium to form tritium (hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons). This step releases still more energy. The process continues with some neutrons combining with the tritium to form quadrium (hydrogen with one proton and three neutrons). Since quadrium is not stable, it quickly turns into helium in a process that releases more energy than it took to create all the preceding steps.

Is this description from Brillouin? Um, this is interesting:

Brillouin’s CECR starts by introducing hydrogen into a suitable piece of nickel (or other metal with the correct internal geometry)

So, any metal will do as long as it has the correct geometry, really? Why use nickel if you can use a cheaper metal ??[snicker]

Kevmo, it's posts like this that make my day. While LENR may be real, I'm seriously having problems with this description which would be fine if it was someone other than Brillouin making this statement but if it is them, then this is seriously techno-babble.

Let me know how much you've invested.
