We appreciate you sticking with us through the
many stages. Your recommendations have

I think the situation with BLP is very different from that of the Wright

hydrinos, whereas the Wrights were not alone in their quest to develop
controlled powered flight.
There is no doubt that BLP is
I don't know anything about this Energy Conversation other than
what is in the announcement and web site. It does not seem like a
very professional organization, since they misspelled Alexandria.

Jed, it did not seem so from the tenor of your comments.
Well, you can ignore the tenor of the comments and
One key detail which is the basis for Halliburton's
technology (and much of their wealth)- although it is
not widely appreciated outside the industry, is that
in the last decade, in addition to traditional oil
exploration, they have looked specifically for deep

Good reply from Jed.
As far as the gibberish factor re Mills, the same can be said of all the
attempts to find a theory for LENR to stand on. Both are outside of the
realm of conventional physics. Therefore one must pay attention to the

I gather this means: The new reactor produces enough heat with enough Carnot
efficiency to run a conventional small steam turbine

I assume you mean a steam generator rather than, say, a thermoelectric
generator, which is less efficient.
Didn't someone donate a Stirling engine to the BLP cause awhile ago? I
wonder if that setup could be used to increase efficiency.
Stirling engines are inefficient.

That is true. If LENR were based on the theories that have devised up

Stirling engines are inefficient. All small engines are,

the best. I don't know what the

No, they are water turbines: small scale hydroelectricity. Very

Not a garden hose. 1 PVC piping. You see it all over the place in

Todd Hathaway is listed which may mean an affiliation with the Maryland
group that has organized to delve into funding energy research as discussed

My ! ,What big eyes you got grandma.. as little red said to the big badwolf.

Texas, just south of San Antonio. The news reported it likely resulted from
oil and gas production in the area... hmmm.
