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.

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.

It’s such a shame that you don’t address the science behind LENR claims. Perhaps it’s just because you’re too ill equipped. Plenty of zingers, but basically zero substance.

[Kevmo]

Uh, you neglect that the original poster said WattHOUR and Joule. And the HOUR was “Implied”.

So, exactly what IS the difference between a WattHOUR and a Joule? And what is the difference between an “implied” Watt-Hour and a Joule? Are resistors measured in Watts? or WattHours? Or Joules? Or Watt-”Implied Hours”?

[Kevmo]

Feel free to give us your energy density calculations.

Cold fusion reactor independently verified, has 10,000 times the energy density of gasoline

in kevmo-land

1 watt = 1 joule
1 amp = 1 coulomb
the voltage across a capacitor can change instantaneously
the current through an inductor can change instantaneously
the current into and out of a passive component need not be equal (kcl does not apply)
the sum of voltages around a closed circuit need not add to zero (kvl does not apply)
batteries are rated not in amp-hours but in units of watts per cubic meter (power density)
any equation can be balanced by applying kevmos to one side or the other.

I am suspecting this has to do with that arcane quantum tunneling stuff I don’t remember all that well from 3rd semester physics :-/

[vmpolesov]

well at least you’re talking about energy density that power density now, gives me a little hope

[Greysard]

how are resistors measured? Do you see a “Joule” setting on your DVM? I don’t.

I do, all the time. If you don't pay attention to such things you are in for a surprise. TVS diodes are an excellent example. This here diode is capable of absorbing a 200W pulse! But the diode is only 1x2 mm in size! Must be a miracle, right?

No, sadly it's not a miracle. The diode is capable of clamping that much current only for a few microseconds. Then those 200W of power heat the junction up, and the part goes up in smoke. In this case, 200W * 20 µs = 4 mJ. From that we can calculate the final temperature rise as dT = Q/mC. For example, the mass of the die in this part is 1 mg, and C=0.7J g^-1°C^-1, so dT = 4*10^-3/(1*10^-3 * 0.7) = 5 °C. That's a lot for a pulse that you can't see with a multimeter! If you look into the datasheet you will see more complexity because not all pulses are the same; and there is also the bonding wire that limits the current... the manufacturer has to calculate its temperature rise before it melts.

Power means not that much here unless you fully understand the energy that the component has to absorb - and what happens to it (conductive heating of the part, of the board, of the heatsink, radiation, convection.) Some larger parts have heatsinks, and you have to calculate how they help you in dealing with longer pulses. That's when thermal resistances come into play, and specific heat of all materials that are involved... sometimes you end up using CFD tools to validate your design.

[vmpolesov]

watt-hour and joule are both energy units

1 watt hour = 3600 joules

[vmpolesov]

you have saintly-level patince

[Kevmo]

Even if there is such energy, what are the byproducts of this reaction, and who exactly (biologists? chemists? physicists? poets?) so quickly declared them harmless, and what should we do with them?
***The byproducts appear to be heat and Helium, sometimes Tritium, and even transmutation of the host metal elements.

Just pile them up, until the end of days?
***Well, that works okay for heat until 3,000 years from now when the AGW guys are finally proved correct. And Helium is not only harmless but useful. The rest are recyclable metals and other stuff. Maybe there will be some radioactive Lead shielding that can be dropped into Chernobyl for the next 3000 years. I think that’s a pretty good start.

If they possess less energy than the ground state, there isn’t much we can do with them... they become dead weight forever, ashes of Hydrogen.
***We’ll kill ourselves with nuke weapons long before this becomes any kind of problem.

Also, I see that you are using salty water for the reaction. Even if we assume that salt is not a concern for the reaction itself, what happens to all these dissolved salts after the water is converted to plasma and then into something else, not seen before on this Earth?
***We put the salt in big piles just like we do now. Right now I’m no more than 3 miles from some of the most expensive salt flats in the world (Silicon Valley, most people aren’t aware of this). Now we can have salt flats in the middle of the desert or wherever. It won’t be a problem for 3,000 years.

Those ought to be piles and piles of salt..
***Wow, it would appear you are presuming millions and millions of gallons of desalinated water and salt piles. For 3,000 years, this won’t be a problem.

. and you know, that salt is not very good for the land. If you dump it back into oceans, it will be eventually changing the water;
***You could always build a molten salt fission reactor. But of course, your radioactive products would outweigh the salt wastes in a matter of a few short years, far less than the 3000 year goggles I’m putting on.

also, trucking of all that salt water across the country, and trucking the salt back, can’t be free. What’s the story?
***I think the story is that Morton Salt will be able to sell their salt flats for $millions/acre, and won’t even go out of business. By the time salt becomes a problem, we could cheaply fire it into outer space.

But I suspect if the reaction is real, and not imaginary, then salt in the water is bad news - for one simple reason: it had to be heated up.
***last I heard, desalination was a good thing. Deserts will bloom from all that water.

First, we lose energy on that; and secondly, that energy can break bonds between Na and Cl. What will happen then? You get Na and Cl2.
***I drive by a salt pile several days a week. It doesn’t scare me. Even if it were 10,000 times bigger, it still wouldn’t be radioactive nor even occupy 1/100th% of current desert land.

None of them are good for life, by anyone’s definition (unless you are an extraterrestrial from an unusually nasty planet.)
***Recently, salt chemistry was upgraded. Having a lot of it might be a good thing.
http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/01/chemists-make-surprise-discovery-about-table-salt/

There is plenty in this theory that can be questioned even without debating whether the reaction itself is possible.
***Well, as far as I can tell, none of these issues will bite us in the ass for 3000 years. I think if we make it that far, we’ll be able to deal with the consequences.

asked & answered

[Kevmo]

That isn’t even an answer. You’re too ignorant to even go back and address your own insinuations, and you only want to move forward with stupid insults rather than discussing the science. That makes you as useless as radioactive dog poo.

[Kevmo]

You seem to be going over the edge. Get ahold of yourself.

[Kevmo]

Run away, short pants. Full of insults, but in the end, zero scientific substance. What a waste of “supposedly” 2 EE degrees. Maybe you should ask for your money back.

[Kevmo]

If you had a solid engineering background, not even a physics major background, you’d see the problems inherent in their PR release
***If you had a solid engineering background, you would have posted what you see as the problems without going round & round like you’ve done. You’re more interested in creating invective than insight.

[Kevmo]

Like another post said, you do not need too many volts (between 83 and 84) of potential difference in the system that you pump 12,000 amps through to cause the system to yield 1E6 watts of power.
***It would be an interesting result, if that’s what the article said. But it did not say it, as far as I can tell, so to proceed from an assumption is an invalid argument from silence.

trying to get funding by pulling a fast one in front of a non-engineering crowd.
***Which is why I keep pointing to the upcoming demo. If LENR breaks out soon, Dr. Mills will likely be able to catch up and attract funding. At that point, he doesn’t have to be in the scientific lead, he just needs to be a player. The patent wars will be where all the action is, and he’s been in the middle of the firefight for 20 years. His inscrutible theory will be a part of the discussion. I doubt it will win out. I think of him as someone like Glenn Curtiss, who didn’t invent the airplane but he gave the real inventors such heartache that he got what he wanted out of the deal.

[Kevmo]

Well, isn’t that precious? Maybe if you answer the questions put to you, I will feel the slightest bit of obligation to hurry along & play fetch for you.

[Kevmo]

Four years ago.
***Ok. He’s off by 4 years, and the hotfusion fraudsters are off by 60. Who are the bigger fraudsters? Don’t worry, I know you won’t answer the question, but if you start answering my questions, maybe I’ll feel the need to go & fetch your citation so that you don’t have to get up off your lazy ass. I don’t suppose it’s too much to suggest you do a search for “Coulomb Barrier”, even though you don’t know what it is.

[Kevmo]

Patent is not approved, so they wouldn’t risk showing us the guts, even if it were real.
***Well, now. It seems that so many skeptopaths on FR thought that Rossi should have opened up his kimono even though his patent was not yet approved. So, if you say “they wouldn’t risk showing us the guts”, then that sheds some light on the latest developments in LENR and why industrialists aren’t acting like scientists. But it does not explain why scientists are acting like industrialists, unless there really was something to hide.

[Kevmo]

As for sticking to scientific arguments, If I remove invective and blather from your current response, this is what remains:
***That doesn’t address the fact that YOUR arguments lack scientific validity. Turning it around to me is a bunch of bowlsheet when we examine how many scientific questions I have put to you that you have blithely ignored. How about that there 14000 replications, Mr. Sucked-on-guvmint-Teat?
