BusinessWire · Jan. 14, 2014 | Last Updated: Jan. 14, 2014 5:01 AM ET

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.

"No doubt Wonder Warthog [aka Charlatan #2] will be weighing in shortly to tell us the Hydrogenies have been seen "over 14,000 times" by various "highly qualified researchers" and "only not seen one time" by failed haoxers at MIT."

Ah, Fred. As accurate as ever. I have NEVER on any LENR thread (which this is not) used the "...14000 times..." factoid.

"So, BLP has something to demo. Let’s see what happens on the 28th."

Now THERE is the attitude of the honest skeptic. Wait for the data.

"Is the BLP process even LENR or is it something else?"

BLP itself says it is not.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof."

Nope. Science has no such requirement. Replicated experiments as normal.

How much work did they do with all that wattage???

I can generate million of watts also if I spend a lot of time dragging my socked feet across the rug and then discharging little lightning sparks doesn’t mean much in the big scheme of things.

Answers to your so called proof that it is real "Experiments[edit] In 1996 NASA released a report describing experiments using a BLP electrolytic cell. Although not recreating the large heat gains reported for the cell by BLP, unexplained power gains ranging from 1.06 to 1.68 of the input power were reported that whilst "...admit[ing] the existence of an unusual source of heat with the cell...falls far short of being compelling".[34] Around 2002 the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) granted a Phase I grant to Anthony Marchese, a mechanical engineer at Rowan University, to study a possible rocket propulsion that would use hydrinos. [35] In 2005: Šišović and others published a paper describing experimental data and analysis of Mills' claim that a resonant transfer model (RTM) explains the excessive Doppler broadening of the Hα line. Šišović concluded that: "The detected large excessive broadening in pure hydrogen and in Ne–H2 mixture is in agreement with CM [Collision Model] and other experimental results" and that "these results can’t be explained by RTM". The collision model explanation for excessive broadening of the Hα line is based on established physics.[36] Analysis of Mills' models[edit] In 2005, the Journal of Applied Physics published a critique by A.V. Phelps of the 2004 article, "Water bath calorimetric study of excess heat generation in resonant transfer plasmas" by J. Phillips, R. Mills and X. Chen.[37] Phelps criticized both the calorimetric techniques and the underlying theory described in the Phillips/Mills/Chen article. The journal also published a response to Phelps' critique on the same day.[38] 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."[39] 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.[40] The Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics published an article by Hans-Joachim Kunze, professor emeritus at the Institute for Experimental Physics, Ruhr University Bochum,[41] critical of the 2003 paper authored by R. Mills and P. Ray, Extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy of helium–hydrogen. The abstract of the article is: "It is suggested that spectral lines, on which the fiction of fractional principal quantum numbers in the hydrogen atom is based, are nothing else but artefacts." Kunze stated that it was impossible to detect the novel lines below 30 nm reported by Mills and Ray because the equipment they used did not have the capability to detect them as per the manufacturer and as per "every book on vacuum-UV spectroscopy" and "therefore the observed lines must be artefacts". Kunze also stated that: "The enormous spectral widths of the novel lines point to artefacts, too."[42]" And Fred I love what the fellow from Princeton was quoted as saying…. priceless

That makes it a chemical process.
***That would make me happier than a dog with 2 cocks. Then if it isn’t a nukular process, the NRC wouldn’t be involved in the signoff process.

Yes! You can buy these wonderful machines. However, because they involve dark energy and dark matter, they also involve a hitherto little used financing method called "dark credit."

Unlike conventional credit, where you obtain the commodity and pay for it over time with interest, with Hydrogino technology, you pay millions up front, and then in just "12 to 18 months" you will receive your dark energy Hydroteeny generator.

Although this is NOT A LENR THREADTM a number of cold fusion generators have also been funded with "dark credit." Unfortunately, like the Hydrobogus device, the payoff period often involves another new concept, called "dark time," during which 12-18 months never arrives.

Not even going to speculate on why that would make you happy.

But rest assured, no government agency except those involved in criminal prosecutions is ever going to be involved with this product.

Can you even read?
***How about we start by reading your bowlsheet?

r-energy state hydrogen called “Hydrino”, by allowing the electrons to fall to smaller radii around the nucleus.
***And then you conveniently neglect that this lowers the Coulomb barrier so that nukular fusion is far more possible in condensed matter.

That means he claims to be forcing electrons into lower energy states. That makes it a chemical process. LENR involves nucleons — neutrons, protons, and the strong nuclear force. It does not involve electrons,
***One of the latest theories involves electron capture in the process of lowering the Coulomb barrier. It sure SOUNDS like the LENR process could involve neutrons (having been detected), Protons (One of the theories is proton capture_) and the strong nuke force. And don’t forget the weak nuke force, which is the Widom-Larson theory, not that you would be familiar with it.

and even if the weak nuclear force were involved, which can produce electrons, he is talking about the atomic electron orbitals of hydrogen. It’s CHEMISTRY. NOT LENR.
***Sounds like you’re making some obscure point that doesn’t make one whit of difference, since in the end, even Mills proposes that nukular events are taking place. You don’t seem to know much. Maybe it’s you who can’t read.

Nobody has any trouble “understanding the theory,” because there isn’t one.
***There are dozens of LENR theories, just like there are many theories of gravity (no generally accepted theory yet) and several theories of condensed matter High temp superconductivity (no generally accepted theory yet). But that doesn’t stop you from jumping on gravitational science and superconductivity threads and loudly displaying your scientific ignorance.

Another free energy scam...

You know that a teenager in a basement with a surplus capacitor bank can generate a 1MW pulse, right? 12,000 Amps at 170V is over 2MW (170VDC being available from rectified 120V mains). At 20A, it will take a while to charge this bank, but not all that long, if the required output pulse is very short.

The problem here is that putting 12KW through water, just causes electrolysis of the water (or perhaps even plain old disassociation at that power level due to quick formation of superheated plasma). The catalyst would pretty much instantly boil away, even our most exotic metals & compounds. It would only take a few Joules for that. Then the high temperature region formed by the plasma arc, simply ignites the oxy-hydrogen fuel mixture and bam, big output power pulse, post input.

Notice that they didn’t give a output ratio here of Joules in to Joules out. Using Watts in to Watts out is a easy way of cloaking energy consumption and production.

Way to think of this: you can charge a capacitor bank with a 5W hand generator. Depending on the capacity, this could take a while. But you could still generate a megawatt output pulse from that bank. But the output duration will be very short. This is what these folks did, IMO. Just very careful wording of a press release to make things sound better than they are, and the gullible just eat it up.
