RE: [Vo]:Blacklight Power/ Brilliant Light...Demo today
I wish you were attending, Ron – but as everyone knows: THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION – attendance is being carefully controlled. Even strong supporters of BLP have been rejected for invitations, simply because they are scientists. Mills does not want to address the problem of having no verifiable data to share. This appears to be a staged production of no scientific value. It is simply another PR event to raise funding.

Re: [Vo]:BlackLight Process in Terraforming Applications
Axil, how about considering Naudts relativistic proposal for Mills shrunken hydrogen wrt to the arguments against liquid metallic hydrogen [snip] This idea that the sun is a condensed matter object rather than a gas explains many of the solar mysteries that have perplexed solar science for the last two centuries. But what cannot be explained and what is discouraging the idea that he sun is a condensed matter body made up of liquid hydrogen is how that liquid could remain liquid under the tremendous heat and pressure that exists inside the sun and in its atmosphere.[/snip] My point being that the liquid pressure and temperature are calculated in our frame of reference and those numbers would be misleading if this shrunken material is significantly shrunken via relativistic effects.. an individual relativistic hydrogen atom would be unaware of time dilation, would see more local “space” and less pressure than we would detect from our undilated frame. Perhaps energy transitions and spontaneous emissions from the dilated hydrogen pile up and translate as they transition away from the relativistic frames back to a normal frame in the macro world where we can observe it. If each atom /molecule in the lattice has its own well the heat and pressure would not accumulate till it exits/translates up the well into the interstial space between.

I think desalination is the answer. HOWEVER you have remove all of the salt, or you pollute the soil. This was a concern many years ago. The water is okay for human consumption but the salt will build up over time in the soil. Advanced methods may be okay.

Re: [Vo]:BlackLight Power, Inc. Announces Sustained Production of Electricity
OK Axil, I am glad you see that there is no disservice. Maybe they do provide theoretical statements that are cockeyed. From reading Mats Lewan's book one can at least find three reasons why.: 1. There is no patent law that protects anything without a big bag of money to defend the patent, but a patent means publicity - good for soliciting investors. In my eyes that is being an entrepreneur. 2. It is done to purposely mislead the competition. Another business practice to accomplish what a patent cannot do. 3. The scientific capacity is limited (by education, by focus, by way of looking upon the end result). It sounds to me as if Rossi rather saw it work than figure out the actual reason it does work. I think it is great that the theories are discussed on Vortex. However, I rather saw a focus on positively seeking the real theory, than criticize the admittingly half-truth given for example by AR. He says he has a secret third component (additional to H and Ni). As long as he does not reveal that his information is not worth even a comment. If this third component has a significant impact then he cannot even vaguely provide his theory and we should know that it is rather misleading info or inconsequential babble. I would not bet on DGT's explanations being much better for the same three reason but as you I hope they are. In Mats Lewan's book, which I will recommend as it makes sense of a lot of the rumors I have heard the last two/ three years. He also have two passages I full agree with and have tried to argue here. One is his description of the attitude of an inventor. AR's response to that is just as typical in my opinion. Secondly his warning for that it is not a question of finding the answer to the problem either theoretically or by experiments. Building a vessel to exploit the idea and a method to reach the market are equally difficult but often overseen.

Whether Rossi has the stolen the limelight or not, this is about the most absurd BS on the planet. It looks like an act of total desperation. or else April 1 humor. Even by the standards of New Jersey corruption, if Mills is serious - this conduct is so egregious and the claims are so preposterous - in light of the investment money he has raised, that RM is risking the same kind of FBI raid and closure that happened to one of the Papp Engine promoters. What level of assurance of gain did Rohner make that Mills has not made? There seems to be a pretty good correlation in the conduct of the two.

It is almost Nazi-esque. Mills will make a video and a News Release to suggest that the demo was a glowing success - when in fact it could have been closer to a joke, in terms of real science and accurate results. Dissent will not be permitted. That last comment is of course an opinion, but at least there is no way than anyone knowledgeable can argue with it - or otherwise they will have violated the NDA :) /It looks like you were wrong. Here is a report from an attendee./ / ...So, about the demo. There were about 65 to 70 people present. There was no opportunity for a meet and greet. I did not know most of the attendees, but there were representatives from chemical and engineering firms present as well as OEMs and major investment banks. I am not sure of the extent of media present. There were no TV cameras, but there was a video being taken. Many people were taking notes, but I don't think there was a lot of mainstream media there. I think the presentation was geared more towards developing interest among potential licensees and partners rather than media. Media will come in time. Randy stated that the SF-CIHT results have been validated by four outside groups, but only one spoke at the meeting. That validator was from Rowan University so I am sure that many of the critics will dismiss his comments out of hand. Whatever. I tend to believe people who actually view the experiments and study the results rather than simply post negative comments on the Internet. The validator unequivocally confirmed the reported results from the newly developed SF-CIHT cell and stated it was a game changer. I thought one interesting moment was when the validator was asked whether he believed in hydrinos. His answer was something to the effect that this wasn't a matter of belief, but about experimental results and that he was confident in the results. The demonstrations were instantaneous bursts with input and output measured by established commercial devices including waterbath calorimetry. Continuous operation was not demonstrated so skeptics will likely be dismissive of the results. Randy spent some time explaining plans for achieving continuous operation. While there are some engineering issues ahead, the energy outputs are so astounding that there should be multiple ways to make useful devices. While I have seen some comments that BLP rushed this demo because of recent developments relating to Rossi, such commenters obviously don't know Randy. Randy is going to do things on his time and nobody else's. He is not concerned with Rossi and, from second hand reports I have heard, BLP does not view Rossi as competition because they do not think his experiments are professionally done and do not believe that he is accurately measuring energy input and output. My overall impression is that this demo was put together because, after many years of slow but steady progress, Blacklight has made recent, dramatic improvements in the energy densities. I think Randy believes the results are unassailable and irrefutable. My sense is that yesterday was the first step in what will be an evolving, more visible presence for Blacklight as they continue to advance the technology. http://www.e-catworld.com/2014/01/report-from-the-blacklight-power-demonstration/

[snip] That validator was from Rowan University so I am sure that many of the critics will dismiss his comments out of hand. Could that be because Mills has funded Rowan to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars over the years, to perform this work - and it turns out that Janssen is Mills' personal friend ? Since when are funded validations considered independent? Whatever. I tend to believe people who actually view the experiments and study the results rather than simply post negative comments on the Internet The demonstrations were instantaneous bursts with input and output measured by established commercial devices including waterbath calorimetry. Continuous operation was not demonstrated so skeptics will likely be dismissive of the results. Ya' think ? Well they should dismiss this kind of meaningless result. It's very easy to mislead without continuous operation. Mills is at least two years behind Rossi who has shown tens of kW of continuous operation last year. Randy spent some time explaining plans for achieving continuous operation. And who can believe that explanation, given the track record? Did he explain how well those five Utility companies in New Mexico are doing with their fabulous solid fuel reactors which they licensed several years back and which is no longer being mentioned? Same kind of hoopla back then. While there are some engineering issues ahead, the energy outputs are so astounding that there should be multiple ways to make useful devices. Like the Papp popper.

Papp ripped apart a 5/8 inch stainless steel pipe and dug a 3 foot crater in the desert hardpan with a water based arc initiated power pulse.

This E-cat World report is vague. Since there was no NDA, why didn't this person write a concrete description of the equipment and instruments? The only technical specific is that they used waterbath calorimetry. I don't know what that means. I guess it means static or bomb calorimetry, rather than flow calorimetry. Tell us how big the device was, how heavy, how much power and energy went in, and how much came out. Like this, if I do say so myself: http://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/?p=643 - Jed

Re: [Vo]:Blacklight
Let's adorn their incommensurable dimensions with some dimensioend quantities that bring them a step closer to commensurability. Here are some dimensioned of a 10,000AMP welding rig: *Voltage* If current is the amount of electricity flowing, then Voltage (measured in Volts) is the pressure or force that's causing the flow. A good analogy is water flowing through a pipe. A larger voltage will result in greater water pressure, which will cause more water (current) to flow through the pipe. Using the transformer example above, after the 200 Amps at 500 Volts on the primary passes through the transformer coils, the secondary amperage increases to 10,000 Amps, but the voltage actually drops to 10 Volts. This decrease in voltage occurs because the amount of power coming out of a transformer isn't actually increased, but more accurately exchanged. *Power* Power is Voltage multiplied by Current, and is measured in Watts, or KVA (KVA stands for Kilo-Volt-Amperes. Watts and KVA will be used interchangeably in this text). This means that the amount of current flowing times the pressure that's causing it to flow equals the amount of power generated. A basic law to bear in mind is that the power going into a transformer will always equal the power coming out of it. Returning to the transformer example, 200 Amps coming in at 500 Volts (200 x 500 = 100,000 KVA) on the primary with a 50 to 1 turns ratio in the transformer will be converted into 10,000 Amps at 10 Volts (10,000 x 10 = 100,000 KVA) going out. As the math illustrates, the results are the same. The initial and final amperage and voltage may be different, but because the ratio is the same, the total amount of power is also the same. http://www.livco.com/UMchapter1.pdf Correcting their units from KVA to VA (yes, livco.com did make an arithmetic error) we have 100kW power consumed by a 10,000AMP welding rig. OK, so we have two quantities now that are commensurable: 10MW and 100kW or 1e7W and 1e5W for a factor of 100 gain IFF the duration of the input and output are the same. Are they? Keep in mind a 10ms pulse at 10MW has the same energy content as a 1s pulse at 100kW.

Any News you get will only happen through BLP itself or by way of a preapproved journalist who got the News direct from BLP and had the story cleared. All attendees were required to sign an NDA in which they agreed not to mention anything whatsoever about the proceedings to others, nor even to admit that they attended. It is almost Nazi-esque. Mills will make a video and a News Release to suggest that the demo was a glowing success - when in fact it could have been closer to a joke, in terms of real science and accurate results. Dissent will not be permitted. That last comment is of course an opinion, but at least there is no way than anyone knowledgeable can argue with it - or otherwise they will have violated the NDA :) -Original Message- From: Craig Does anyone have any contact, or information, from someone at the demonstration?

Re: [Vo]:Blacklight...
Robin, I agree most of LENR is mediated by the same force responsible for hydrinos but I would disagree that hydrinos are the mediating force, In Jan Naudt's relativistic interpretation of Mill's hydrino only the hydrogen being ejected from the corona has a near enough velocity to C to equate to significantly fractional hydrogen [hydrino]... Or as I infer from his paper, occurs in a stationary catalyst/nano powder which exposes a gas to Casimir geometry for it to also become relativistic [equivalence]. In both cases it remains just hydrogen from the perspective of a tiny local observer in the same inertial frame as the hydrogen Like the dilation experienced by an object approaching C, I am convinced that hydrogen confined inside a nickel lattice with Casimir geometry also becomes dilated, it perceives the outside world as having a ratio of V^2/C^2 equivalent to the ratio seen by a near luminal object just like the hydrogen being ejected from the corona. The confined gas requires suppression of C^2 instead of increasing V^2 to modify the dilation ratio, a sort of negative perspective from the nominal baseline where we tend to think of open space and lack of any spatial velocity as the zero point for relativistic consideration.. I am positing that Casimir geometry suppresses C instead of compressing V... making V^2/C^2 suddenly a dynamic value slewing wildly with the slightest motion of gas relative to Casimir geometry but in a negative direction lower than that zero point we normally self impose. It is the tiny observer inside the cavity that perceives us outside the cavity as slowing down in time in the same way we perceive the near C object as slowing down.[or from our perspective reactions inside the cavity are accelerated by these rapid changes in dilation factor] Regards Fran -Original Message- From: mix...@bigpond.com [mailto:mix...@bigpond.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 3:12 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Blacklight...

Agreements like these (unproved technology) generally involve a low up front licensing fee with a significant per unit royalty.

Announces First [seventh over-all] Commercial License in Europe with GEOENERGIE SpA, Energy Subsidiary of Geogreen Non-Exclusive License to produce up to 750 MW of continuous power I'm a little tired of press releases that imply what may not be true. A license may not indicate anything other than a judgment by the company obtaining it that it's worth the trouble, and maybe a little money, to place a bet on the technology. The value of the license would depend on what they actually paid for it, if anything. A license would not indicate that they were close to an operating reactor, at all. Obviously, I don't know, but from the press release I could not rule out that Blacklight approached Geoenergie SpA and said, here is a license, we will sell you for $1 (hands $1 to the Geoenergie SpA rep), all we want is to be able to announce the license, and, you will see, the license conditions will basically give your company very cheap power compared to what you are paying now. You can't lose. The rep signs the agreement, having been authorized, and gives the $1 back and enjoys the rest of the dinner courtesy of Blacklight Power, which now can wave more evidence of their momentum. If pressured, Geoenergie points out that the license conditions were very favorable and there was no risk at all of loss, and some possibility, however remote, of much gain. BlackLight has been implying that an operational demonstration reactor that could be tested widely, or even purchased, is just around the corner. Well, I'm tired of hanging around the corner. When can we peek around it? By no means do I think the endgame is over, BlackLight is not under any legal obligation to disclose anything to us, and, personally, I'm more interested in the implications for science of hydrino theory, but not terribly interested, simply because I can't take on too much at once. I can see the signs of pathological rejection of hydrino theory, but that proves nothing. Sometimes pathological skeptics reject stuff that is Actually Bogus.

RE: [Vo]:Blacklight Power revamps their web site
The power gain is very real but the theory is very wrong and people are looking at the gas atoms when they should be looking at the catalyst. Fractional states do not exist in 4D and the hydrino is unphysical but in the same way as the Twin Paradox from physics 101 is unphysical! The relativistic Klein Gordon equations and 4D proofs based on the energy equations by Naudts and Bourgoin point to these cavities as sources of equivalent acceleration - tiny opposite polarity event horizons. I am convinced that the hydrino only exists relativistically and the entire controversy to date has been semantics. Both sides are correct it does not exist (in the same time frame) and it can provide excess heat, In any case the validation by Rowan now confirm the mechanism exists and therefore the theory becomes even more important from the perspective of corporate intellectual properties and optimizing the effect. I think the Haisch - Moddel patent has the advantage here for closed loop control because Mill's use of a skeletal catalyst instead of feed through array makes the reaction much less likely to escape the cascade. If it can't escape it must continue to oscillate between monatomic and molecular states until it combusts or destroys the parallel plate geometry. My relative proposal http://www.byzipp.com/energy/excessHeat.htm is based on the work of others listed below. Randell Mills' founder of Black Light Power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight_Power claims a fractional quantum state of hydrogen he coins hydrino which is formed inside skeletal catalyst Rayney nickel and has up to 137 fractional quantum states. The hydrino is claimed to produce much more heat energy than chemistry can explain. This claim is still disputed by the mainstream but on August 12, 2009 Rowan University faculty and staff announced validation using their own materials and simplified method which promises to expedite replications. In 2005 a math paper by Jan Naudts http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0507193v2 contends that fractional quantum state argument against hydrino state overlooks relativistic solutions. This bolsters claim by Randell Mills that disassociated hydrogen diffused into skeletal catalyst can release excess heat. I will attempt to make the case that similar to the Twin Paradox in Physics 101. Hydrogen outside the cavity has equivalent motion relative to the shielded hydrogen inside the cavity. This results in hydrogen exiting the cavity older than hydrogen which did not diffuse through the cavity. Hydrogen inside the cavity performs many more reactions through time dilation and Lorentz contraction then could be performed outside the cavity for the time period the hydrogen was inside. In 2007 Ronald Bourgoin published a paper http://www.m-hikari.com/astp/astp2007/astp5-8-2007/bourgoinASTP5-8-2007 .pdf that showed the general wave equation predicts exactly the 137 inverse principal quantum levels claimed by Mills. His equations use a 4D coordinate system suggesting the orbital could appear to collapse spatially below the Bohr radius because the displacement to the nucleus is partially converted to the time axis. The fractional quantum radius only exists from our 3D perspective outside the cavity observing the hydrino inside. The Bourgoin solutions suggest Mills hydrino only exists relative to an observer outside the Casimir cavity. Inside the cavity hydrogen atoms are unaware the t coordinate of their (X, Y, Z, t) position has changed in the same way that the earth bound twin is unaware of his multiple second per second existence relative to the twin approaching an event horizon (C through equivalence). Only when the still young twin returns to earth or the now old hydrogen exits the cavity is the difference apparent. Christian Beck and Michael Mackey publish papers, Measurability of vacuum fluctuations and dark energy http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0605418 and Electromagnetic dark energy http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0703364 relating virtual photons with frequency less than 2 THz are more gravitationally active than those above. Their claims are presently only theoretical awaiting experimental evidence. My theory hinges heavily on their as yet unperformed experiments to prove slower virtual photons are more gravitationally active. This would establish my premise that the ratio of slow to fast virtual photons reflect changes in space time such as an event horizon compared to deep space. Thomas Prevenslik paper http://www.geocities.com/sonoluminescence2004/casimir.PDF denying Casimir effect explains Casimir force instead through QED up-conversion, this method requires nature to up convert IR VUV per conservation of energy. If my relativistic theory is correct then all frequencies inside the cavity are up converted together through time dilation including the 2Thz virtual photons Beck proposes to be more gravitationally active. Similar to the Twin Paradox the entire spectrum inside the cavity ages at

From the recent BLP press release at: http://www.blacklightpower.com/Press%20Releases/BlackLightPowerPhysicsGrandSlamFINAL081209.htm http://tinyurl.com/q2dxos -- Excerpt: “The advanced version of the solid fuel is very efficient at liberating energy from forming hydrinos and requires essentially no energy to reverse the chemical product back into the initial fuel. Regeneration was achieved simply with heat. This is enabling of continuous generation of power using simplistic and efficient systems that use heat liberated by forming “hydrinos” to concurrently maintain regeneration. The system is closed except that only hydrogen consumed in forming hydrinos needs to be replaced,” said Dr. Randell Mills, Chairman, CEO and President of BlackLight Power, Inc. -- At first glance this sounds way too good to be true. The process of regenerating the compound through the application of heat seems like a contradiction of terms, since one presumes the process itself is being used to generate excessive heat in the first place. I would presume a drastic change in environmental conditions is also required (besides heat) for the regeneration process to complete. I presume these environmental changes are proprietary. ;-) Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to what BLP is currently using as their favorite solid fuel? I got the impression that a prior promising concoction consisting of Raney Nickel turned out to be too difficult to manage, or have I got my facts all wrong on this point. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
Re: [Vo]:Blacklight Power revamps their web site
As with the earlier reaction announcement with NaH and Raney nickel, the accompanying Commercialization paper in What's New requires study and is complex. I've read through it but will confess I don't understand all that I read. There was much buzz on the HSG forum that the real energy came from the Raney Nickel and not from the NaH reaction. Mills pointed out the mistake by Eli, and I posted it to the forum, but was ignored. The problem with the earlier reaction was that unexpected reactions left the Raney Nickel in a state that was difficult to reconstitute without spending more energy than the core reaction produced, so it was unsuitable for a power plant. There was nothing 'proprietary' about the R-Nickel, it is a standard industrial chemical. Preparation of the reactant charge for the calorimeter had to be in a argon-fillled glove box at BLP. It turns out, perhaps not unexpectedly, that there are many solid catalyst systems, once you understand what to look for and how to set them up. The operative word is 'heterogeneous'. The cited paper lists 3 catalysts, 11 oxidants, and 5 reductants. What is optimum for a power system is not stated. Reconstituion via electrloysis of a molten salt, and by heat only, is mentioned for different combinations. In my one-pass reading, I did not sort them all out. It is now stated that the system can extract 200 times the heat of combustion from a given amount of hydrogen. The reaction temperature is limited only by the tolerance of the reaction vessel. At a one point a 45% heat/electric conversion efficientcy is assumed. We do not yet see the structure of an operating reactor, but references to contiuous burn are made. BLP intends to retainan an AE firm to do the reactor design. Rowan professors have stated that they have been able to make hydrino-containing compounds from standard chemicals. Basically, the prfeparation goes exothermic with the production of hydrinos.

Re: [Vo]:BlackLight Power announces 6th commercial license July 30, 2009
By any reasonable standard, Mills should succeed if he surmounts the present technical problem, application of acquired knowledge to a 'water engine' that delivers useful power. That will be unprecedented. Because nobody else has done it, and the path to it is through his magnum opus, GUTCP, serious attention must be given to that theoretical work. GUTCP threatens to render the intllectual investment by generations of physicists in QM irrelevant. A work of such audacity and scope by one man is unlikely to be error-free. Still, coming from a MD not a member of the 'club', atttack is probable. The Obama administration is earmarking substantial funds for 'green' and 'enerrgy' initiatives and recipients are already waiting with mouths agape. A BLP water engine could grab international attention and lead to loud squaks. One reason for the attacks on Fleishnann and Pons is that the FP Effect could divert Congress' attention from funding the hot fusion programs. Coal states are promoting clean coal propjects; the nuclear fission industry sees lots of fission reactors. Do not be surprised if the EPA is urged to investigate the toxicity of hydrinos [if they exist, of course]. In response to Frank, BLP has engaged world-class intellectual property lawyers to protect its investors, who have put up $60+ million, and want to be repaid. Deployment of BLP technology worldwide is an immense task, bigger than any single company, but BLP wants its due share. The technology cannot remain a 'secret' long, and patents expire. BLP will have a 20 year head start on competitors, who will find it advangeous to maintain licenses with BLP. While I was at RCA, I heard a talk by the head of the patent department whose job it was to arrange lincesing agreements with top Japanese electronics firms for access to RCA know-how, even though the basic patents on color televison had expired. RCA derived $100 million annually from licenses.

Others, more promising, are under development but not released until patent protection is established. Mills has pledged to post progess as possible, and he has done so. It is probable that as BLP progesses on their current path, a firestorm of criticism and opposition may emerge, and BLP must be prepared for it. Remember the story of the Fleischmann-Pons Effect.

Re: [Vo]:Blacklight Power stuff
-- Robin Assuming 10%, then the light output would be 2.46 W for pure H2 (taken from the table). To get a flux of 2 microwatt/cm^2, one would have to measure at a distance of about 3 m from the reaction. Not at all. You are apparently assuming the full cm^2 of the chip is being irradiated. I am assuming, in contrast, but taken from a previous diagram of a Mills' experiment, that a pinhole detector was used. Big difference - as a sub mm aperture is irradiating the much larger detector chip - thus the low microwatt figure. Note: to protect these kinds of detector chips in a plasma reactor, a pinhole is customarily used. CAVEAT: I do NOT know that to be the case for certain here, but the only experiments (which I remember seeing) were set up exactly this way - with a pinhole and photocell. This point begs to be clarified, of course, since with a pinhole - the actual radiation flux at the spherical radius of the aperture, can a multiple of 10^5 or up from the actual area of the intercepted radiation through the hole. IOW - if it was not a pinhole detector then nothing that Mills has written, in terms of his past COP claims, makes much sense - Nor does my crude analysis of it. More later, Jones
Re: [Vo]:Blacklight Power: Sci-fi science rejected by UK-IPO
After reading the decision of the patent examiner, my impression is that the patent was rejected for good reason. The rejection argument is not that the theory is wrong but that Mills is trying to patent a theory and its application to calculating electron states. This would be like having a patent for using the Laws of Thermodynamics to calculate reaction energies. Imagine having to pay a fee to the patent holder each time a person attempted to use the patented methods. It is my understanding that a theory can not be patented. Why do people keep trying? Patents are granted when a theory is reduced to practice in the form of a working device. When is Mills going to have a working device?

Having plowed through the decision, the bottom line is that the Millsian molecular modeling program is intrinsically not patentable under UK law because it is in essence a computer program. I have no idea about how other sofware, such as Windows, fares under the UK law. The descision has no bearing on the merits of Mills' CQM. The comment from lawbites about sci-fi science is utterly spurious and not supported by any remarks by the UK examiner. Mike Carrell
Re: [Vo]:Blacklight Power: Sci-fi science rejected by UK-IPO
Reading Ed and Mike's comments makes me wonder why in the world BLP would attempt to patent a theoretical process involving the calculation of electron states via software simulations. Is this latest battle related to Randy's Millsian Molecular Modeling endeavors, or is this a follow-up to recent alleged breakthroughs involving excess heat using the new breakthrough solid fuel base. It's as if BLP is attempting to explore a different legal strategy: To establish a precedent, where they are trying to legitimize the CQM theory indirectly through software simulations that are presumably backed by physical evidence. ...Perhaps I should say, one better hope BLP can back up their computer simulations with real physical evidence!!! This is an interesting conundrum from my perspective as sharper minds than mine have always stressed the fact that a theory or an idea can not be patented, at least not within the United States. When dealing with the development of industrial processes, such as a novel way to generate excess heat as BLP hopes to cash in on, I was under the impression that only a process, a procedure, or improvement to a process or procedure can be patented. The theory explaining why the process or procedure seems to work should (in practice) take second stage to actual physical evidence. OTOH, I gather the theory in question has not always taken second stage to physical evidence such as when BLP attempted to explain the reasons behind some of their experimental evidence as modeled through CQM theory. I believe it has been suggested more than once that BLP would fare better if they would simply focus their finite resources on patenting procedures for which their experimental evidence reveals the generation of substantial amounts of excess heat. Perhaps I'm not seeing the bigger picture, because this recent UK endeavor gives me the impression that BLP continues to spend an inadvisable amount of time and effort on attempts to legitimize CQM rather than focusing on protecting the actual processes that are known to generate substantial amounts of heat.

You can't patent a law of Nature, only a structure or process utilizing the law. For a long time software was not patentable, being classed as an idea. In some cases, copyright law is applied to intellectual property. There was a battle between Intel and AMD over microprocessors. AMD produced processors which would run programs written for Intel processors. In an elaborate negotiation, it was demonstrated that AMD did not use the same circuits or steal Intel's designs. You can't patent a hydrino, but you can patent compounds using hydrinos. You can patent a process for making hydrinos, and if you are clever enough you might sustain claims to all processes making hydrinos. DeForest invented the vacuum tube triode, the Audion, foundationn of the electronics industry. He tried to claim royalties for every circuit using the Audion, and failed. I believe it has been suggested more than once that BLP would fare better if they would simply focus their finite resources on patenting procedures for which their experimental evidence reveals the generation of substantial amounts of excess heat. Such a patent was filed, with hundreds of claims and clauses attempting to cover all themes and variations. It's much better to have a fundamental patent if you can get it.

Re: [Vo]:Blacklight Power: Sci-fi science rejected by UK-IPO
Howdy Mike, And thus we gain another glimpse of the new century strategies being used to capture revenue streams derived from intellectual property... or should I say properties. Actually the field remains open to a new legimate form of pirating ownership before discovery. hmmm Google concepualized an advertizing revenue stream could be created with a website. BLP appears to see a future revenue stream by pre-empting patents. Richard Mike Carrell wrote, The UK patent is just one event in an elaborate dance. BLP is well financed.
