From: BrilliantLightPower.com: On October 26th, 2016, Brilliant Light performed an invitational public
presentation by noted speakers and debuted its commercial SunCell®
design. British Telecommunications executive Colin Bannon spoke about
the dichotomy between profitability and availability of power and
commitment to clean energy. Executive Director of
ClimateInvestigations.org Kert Davies spoke about the disastrous
consequences of continued fossil fuel usage and the dire need for a new
clean energy source to avoid drastic reductions in the world’s standard
of living. Dr. Mills presented the commercial SunCell® engineering
design and a working unit.
The cell comprised dual liquid silver metal injectors that further
served as the source of electricity to cause ignition of the hydrino
plasma reaction. The liquid electrodes eliminated the ¼ inch thick
tungsten bar electrodes that vaporized in seconds in the prior design
run at Columbia Tech on July 20th (See here for the side view video showing 6000K plasma blackbody radiation filling the glove box; a top view video (available here) showing the melting and vaporization of the electrodes in seconds, and the picture of the vaporized cell). An excerpt of the testing of the commercial SunCell® design having
refractory cell components and injection and ignition systems comprising
molten electrodes engineered to last indefinitely was shown. The cell
went into a self-sustaining mode. Bucknell Professor Dr. Peter Jansson
presented his validation results of over one million watts of power in a
volume of a coffee cup.
The Chief Technology Officer of Columbia Tech John DeCarlo reported on
the engineering timeline to a 100 kW commercial unit projected for field
tests in the first half of 2017. Masimo Semiconductor’s Head of
Business Development and New Product Commercialization Programs Brad
Siskavich reported on the timeline to a commercial photovoltaic
converter comprising a denser receiver array of concentrator
multijunction photovoltaic cells projected to coincide with the SunCell®
light source development to achieve the field test unit in the first
half of 2017. Then, BrLP executive Dominic Jones presented the go to
market strategy and SunCell® commercialization timeline. Presentations

From E-CatWorld.com: Report from Brilliant Light Power Industry Day Event (Tom Whipple) Update: Video and Slideshows Now Posted by BLP
...The following post has been submitted by Tom Whipple.
I was up at BLP yesterday for their most recent demonstration and the
unveiling of the new version of the SunCell. This time the event was
slightly different in that it was called “Industry Day” and featured a
range of speakers, not just Mills. BLP has formed outside advisory
committees and is clearly planning to be ready to market SunCells by the
end of 2017 or soon thereafter — if all goes well. Mills seems to have
gotten by the electrode melting problem with a very elegant solution
involving two charged streams of silver and now has prototypes running
in his labs for long periods. They are shut off at night. As there are
no moving parts, he sees no reliability problems. They have designed
these things to run non-stop for 20 years.... Full article here: http://www.e-catworld.com/2016/10/29/report-from-brilliant-light-power-industry-day-event-tom-whipple/ ==========================

The production of a new entity called hydrinos is intriguing and may exist in the manner Mills has identified. Hydrino energy conversion is an ovious question in search of an answer.
Ask yourself the question: Why is there no Sun Cell data on conversion of light to electricity? Mills makes it seem like conversion is a simple and routine task. It is not simple. In fact, it is impossible.
The term: intensity of 1,000 suns is misleading
The sun has a black body spectrum with very little UV arriving at the surface of earth. The Sun Cell argues that it is producing Hydrinos TM with a deep UV spectrum. This means that the solar cells must survive very deep UV irradiation.
This is where a little knowledge goes a long way. High efficiency solar cells are metastable and the high energy photons will quickly homogenize the local chemistry and quench the conversion efficiency. This is why it took decades to develop the Blue LED. The high energy blue photons were breaking bonds and degrading operation. Higher frequency photons are much more challenging and are unlikely impossible to operate more that one minute.
I worked in the solar cell Group at MIT Lincoln Labs in 1979 where they had achieved the world's record with tandem cells. These cells were degraded by near UV and were not suitable for space applications.
There are no cells that can survive 27 eV radiation. Mills will avoid any measurements until he secures his next round of funding. At that time he will likely announce a new and better scheme due in 2019!
The foregoing does not prelude the existence or viability of Hydrinos. It simply identifies a ridiculous prescription for their use.
Why hasn't Mills done a simple heat balance? I suggest he refuses to make these simple measurements because failure to show the enormous amount of energy created will stop his funding stream. BA |

Randell Mills and the Search for Hydrino Energy - Accountability (Score: 1) by vlad on Saturday, December 03, 2016 @ 22:55:02 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | Brett Holverstott, author of the forthcoming book: Randell Mills and the Search for Hydrino Energy
I think it is about time the community begins to hold scientists
accountable for their claims in the public media regarding hydrino
research, just as surely as we do for climate research. Christopher
Sirola, a professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the
University of Mississippi, has made the following claims [www.hattiesburgamerican.com]: - (1.) "That there is absolutely no evidence for fractional energy levels"
- (2.) "if
I had strong evidence like this, I would submit it to standard journals
in the field, allow other physicists to review my results, and hold the
debate in a professional forum." The implicit, but unstated
accusation here is that Randell Mills has not submitted evidence to
standard journals in the field to allow other physicists to review his
results.
Both of these claims feel true. Perhaps Sirola wants
them to be true, because it would save him the trouble of learning
something new. They satisfy what Stephen Colbert might call "truthiness"
and in recent years, scientists who have done absolutely no work in the
field of hydrino chemistry have made similar comments in the popular
press. Let's check professor Sirola's facts, starting in reverse order: - (2.)
In fact, contrary to popular opinion, Randell Mills and his team of
scientists have published over 100 experimental journal articles in
peer-reviewed scientific journals over the last 25 years, claiming
evidence for fractional energy levels of hydrogen. If you don't believe
me, here is a partial list. Caution, it is really fucking long...

About Brilliant Light Power:
Brilliant Light Power, Inc. is developing a new zero-pollution, primary
energy source applicable to essentially all power applications wherein
the latent energy of the hydrogen atom from water molecules serving as
the fuel source is released by forming Hydrinos®, a more stable chemical
form of hydrogen. The SunCell® cell was invented by Dr. Mills to
release this energy as brilliant light converted directly to electricity
using concentrator photovoltaics at an anticipated cost of a small
percentage of any competing source of electricity.

The
Defkalion system was the forerunner of the suncell. The R6 reactor was a
plasma based reactor that failed because of material meltdown problems.
The liquid electrode approach solved this problem in the SunCell. Mills
has succeeded so far because he is able to amass capital for
engineering R&D whereas Defkalion ran out of money.
Mills has
succeeded because he has a theory that he has used like a map to find
the correct design. The breakthrough in power density came in Nov. 2013
when Mills realized that the ionization of the catalyst was creating a
charge build up that was rate-limiting. The solution, brilliant as
always, was to induce the reaction within an arc current. Why an arc
current? Because an arc current has negative resistance in the
conditions prevailing in his plasma. With negative resistance,
ionization of the catalyst actually *lowered* the voltage instead of
increasing it. Lower voltage leads to even faster catalytic reactions
and you have a powerful positive feedback loop. BOOM. Without the
theory, especially the part about the ionization of the catalyst, none
of this can be predicted. No theory, no device. Before you, again,
attempt to assign your own pre-conceived theoretical notions on to
Mills' success, please educate yourself on his theory. He's already
explained that the reaction is independent of the type of hydrogen being
used. It can't be a nuclear reaction.
In fact, all you need to
do to convince yourself that Mills is right is to look at solar flares.
Solar flares can produce as much power output as the entire sun for
limited periods. However, the matter density in these flares is
vanishingly low, far too low for the power source to be from fusion.
There *must* be another primary power source in solar flares. And, of
course, there is. Solar flares are the dark matter generators of the
universe. The conditions for hydrino production are perfect, just like
in the SunCell.

Engineering Challenges for Developing the SunCell (Score: 1) by vlad on Wednesday, February 01, 2017 @ 19:29:18 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | From e-catworld.com: Engineering Challenges for Developing the SunCell’s Concentrator Photovoltaic Cells and Geodesic Dome Array (by Michael Lammert) ...
Conclusions
It is going to be quite an engineering challenge for Brilliant Light Power’s SunCell to achieve a “pilot” goal of an output of 100KW with the blackbody radiator operating at a temperature of 3000ºK due to the difficulty of developing a thick metal technology and increasing the allowable CPV cell current density (by about 30%). If higher current density cells can not be developed, it still should be possible to achieve an output power of about 76KW, assuming that the existing Masimo concentrator solar cells are reliable at their maximum rated concentration (1200X). However, even operating the SunCell system at 76KW will require the successful development of a thick metal technology. It might be desirable to initially target an output power of about 50KW until reliability can be demonstrated a higher power levels. There are numerous other engineering challenges for the development of a reliable SunCell CPV cell array including developing a method to achieve low resistance cell to cell connections, verifying the blackbody illumination intensity is uniform, developing a cooling system for the CPV cells and other hardware, verifying system reliability, and the other issues noted in this post. It will be interesting to follow the engineering solutions to these challenges...

The Great Energy Transition: Another Milestone for the SunCell (Score: 1) by vlad on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 @ 13:55:52 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | The Great Energy Transition: Another Milestone for the SunCell
By Tom Whipple
Brilliant Light Power recently posted an update to their website describing a significant milestone they have reached on developing their SunCell power generation system into a commercially viable device. As some of you will recall, the SunCell, which uses only water as a fuel and emits no dangerous waste, has been under development for several years. The company plans to have prototypes ready for testing by potential customers and partners later this year.
Until recently SunCells could only be operated under manual control with technicians monitoring the device and making adjustments to keep the reaction stable. In the manual mode, the carbide sphere in which the reaction takes place could not be sealed thereby allowing it to operate for only 15 minutes or less during which the streams of liquid silver used as electrodes would vaporize and escape from the device depleting the silver supply...
