Blacklight Power Gets 2 More Validations – More Information

Blacklight Power has posted two more university validations to support its assertions that the firm is making hydrinos and the hydrinos make up a part of its new solid fuel.

The first work comes from Auburn University’s professor Dr. Gilbert L. Crouse, Jr. who has prepared a paper describing the replication of Dr. Mill’s work at Blacklight Power. Dr. Crouse’s conclusion sums up with, “The heat release is explained by Mills’ Classical Physics theory and provides substantial evidence that the hydrogen to hydrino transition predicted by the theory is being observed in this experiment. Given the immensity of the implications of Classical Physics theory on current atomic physics and the possibility of a new energy source further exploration is indeed warranted.”

Crouse makes a pretty strong statement that will likely be taken up by others. Naysayers and critics are on notice that the negative credibility is now on challenge.

Best of all is the Crouse paper sets out in little more than a sheet of paper the essentials needed for most folks to grasp what is going on in the hydrino theory. The link is well worth a couple minutes of review and saves hours of intense and highly challenging study to get where Dr. Mills and professor Crouse are now. Your humble writer thanks Dr. Crouse for the paper and the opening summary with its explanation – its a gift that should keep on giving if journalists take notice of these events.

Of equal import although more mundane is the work performed by Dr, Nick Glumac at the University of Illinois Urbana (UIU). Five Blacklight fuel samples were tested using a DSC at UIU. Samples were measured and mixed there on site and tested in the university DSC lab. Indium calibrations were included in the test series to calibrate the instrument response. The copper and copper iron mixture based samples yielded 101, 143, and 148 J/g irreversible exothermic peaks around 150 °C. The iron based samples yielded 135 and 125 J/g exothermic peaks near 265 °C. All measured values are far more exothermic than the predicted thermochemistry.

Dr. Glumac’s work is more of a fuel properties test than an experiment replication. Still, the test results do the validation, again. Dr. Glumac notes this in the analysis saying, “For the copper hydroxide/iron bromide mixture, the analysis seems reasonable, and the experiments are far in excess of any reasonable product pathway for species with known thermodynamic data.”

What happens in the Blacklight power device is rather simple. A mechanical auger system delivers the hydrino based fuel over to a pair of rollers charged with a very high amperage at low voltage. The current, reported to be 15,000 amperes at only 5 volts then sets off the fuel triggering the reaction.

The reaction lasts some 0.5 ms producing a very brilliant light that is white. The reaction appears to form a plasma as the source of the light. The experiments are showing up to 500-700 joules of energy released in one half millisecond. As the plasma is very small the numbers are incredible, power density would be 100 billion watts per liter in the form of light. The optical power at 100% duty cycle corresponds to an optical power of 1 MW.

Against that is the energy to achieve ignition is about 5 joules. With an ignition frequency of 2000 Hz at 100% duty cycle the average ignition power is 5 joules X 2000 Hz = 10 kW. The overall power balance is 10 kW input and 1 MW light output that could be converted to as much as 400 kW electrical output for a 40:1 ratio.

With available concentrator solar cells that operate at 40% efficiency with sunlight a self-running system could be achievable with the current performance.

Blacklight is reported to have signed contracts with three engineering companies to design and fabricate a generator capable of outputting scalable electrical output in the range of 250 kW to 10 MW comprising modular, scalable components of an optical distribution system and photovoltaic cell stack.

Dr Mills has disclosed that 99% of the reaction’s energy comes as light with the rest seen as pressure. Obviously there is an increase in the air pressure.

It is also becoming clear that the Blacklight team has been taken a bit off their guard. Over the past few years imminent commercialization has been expected only to fall short. Perhaps the team has found the solution to getting the nearly inexplicable chemistry and physics into a working form.

This time it is not a mysterious one time phenomena, rather there are reproducible physical events taking place to exploit and the engineers are already at work figuring out how to profit from them.

Meanwhile Blacklight’s website is loading new things to feed the curious. Whether Blacklight can get to scale and on to market is yet to be seen. At this point your humble writer would not bet they can not.
