Re: MAJOR: Blacklight Power Breakthrough (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | Hello everyone:
It looks like one of our New Energy "colleagues", BlackLight Power of Cranbury NJ, has finally done it: tested a 50 KWt. generator of their design this month. Whether this is currently a self-running design, I don't know...
They've been at it since 1997, a bit over 11 years, and over US$50 mill. in investment, which I think is reasonable in time and financing for such a difficult technology. Frankly, I didn't think Blacklight would be the first, even though they apparently were first off the mark. Nor do I think their device, if truly self-running, is necessarily the best. As I see it, if BlackLight can get some cash flow, beyond their Millsian softwear, that is, they would no doubt take a hard look at collabortaing with some of the other developments in areas such as coil-based (electromagnetic) devices from MPI and others.
Best regards,

Blacklight Power claims nearly-free energy from water — is this for real? (Score: 1)

Blacklight Power [www.blacklightpower.com],
a company founded by a Harvard medical doctor called Randell Mills,
says it can push hydrogen atoms into a state that most scientists deny
exists...
That all seems pretty farfetched, but the company reiterated to me that
Blacklight has raised a very significant amount from hedge funds and
private investors, and has a board full of notables. For confirmation,
I was directed to Randy Booker [www.phys.unca.edu],
a physics professor at the University of North Carolina. Booker, who
said Greenpeace had asked he and another faculty member to evaluate the
technology in 2005, has been to the Blacklight lab in Cranbury, NJ
several times to validate the process.
Booker
told me over the phone: “They put in energy, and the yield is about 50%
more than what they’re putting in. I’ve also validated their scientific
methods, and it seems like they’re doing everything right, from the
measurements to procedures.” He adds: It’s nothing small or miniscule,
it’s very obvious.” What Mills has come up with is a “new,
revolutionary theory” that can go beyond quantum physics, Booker
concluded.
Conclusive? Not really, at
least in my view. There’s little chance a journalist will unravel a
scientific controversy in its second decade. However, what’s
interesting is that it seems Blacklight has put itself on the path to
final validation, or failure, within the next couple years. Theories
are difficult to kill, but a power-generating process is fairly easy to
prove — does it release energy, or not? Booker, for his part, says he
hasn’t seen the 50KW reaction, but did see a smaller two kilowatt
demonstration.
And while scams are common
on the small-cap public stock exchanges, Blacklight isn’t publicly
traded and doesn’t appear to be looking for money, which raises the
question of why it would claim a nonexistent commercial process. On the
other hand, if the process is real, only a public demonstration is
likely to convince its opponents.

BlackLight Power Inc. Announces Independent Replication of New Energy Source (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | BlackLight Power Inc. Announces Independent Replication of New Energy Source
CRANBURY, N.J., Oct 20, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Rowan University confirms BlackLight's new disruptive energy source
BlackLight Power (BLP) Inc. today announced the successful independent
replication and validation of its 1,000 watt and 50,000 watt reactors
based on its proprietary new clean energy technology. This follows
BLP's May announcement that it had successfully tested a new
non-polluting energy source.
BLP's 50,000 watt
reactor generated over one million joules of energy in a precise
measurement made by Rowan University engineers, led by Dr. Peter
Jansson. The independent study included full characterization of a
proprietary solid fuel to generate the energy, before and after the
reaction.
"Our
experiments on the BlackLight technology have demonstrated that within
the range of measurement errors the significant energy generated, which
is 100 times the energy that could be attributed to measurement error,
cannot be explained by other known sources like combustion or nuclear
energy," says Dr. Jansson, professor of engineering at Rowan
University. "The ability to generate such tremendous power in this
controlled process demonstrates that the claim by BlackLight Power that
it is able to demonstrate repeatable heat experiments based on their
technology can be replicated by independent scientists." ... Full article: Rowan University BLP replication [www.marketwatch.com] See also: http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/10/rowan-university-study-of-blacklight.html [nextbigfuture.com]
