if confirmed, great news. I've computed that with reactors similar to Hyperion and E-cat, the greatest cost is in heat to mechanic conversion, where best cost is very big turbines (500$/kW at 100MWe, to compare to 2000$/MW at 10kWe)... If there is no conversion to do, keeping the low cost of

BLP is distinctly non-nuclear, but rather anew hyper-chemistry. The reactions that convert H atoms to hydrinos release energy in several forms, including intense VUV [vacuum ultraviolet light, 'blacklight']. The chemical reactions in the ell are described in an article on the website. These are

Hi Mike, I realize that crystal ball gazing is a precarious profession, particularly when one takes into consideration the fact that Mr. Murphy often has a nasty tendency of paying unexpected visits to the RD lab. Nevertheless, have you acquired any kind of a feeling as to when BLP might

I took a quick look at the Blacklight web site and came away a little confused. Perhaps someone can help explain the currently observed excess power to drive power ratio in clear terms. Exactly how much excess power is being produced with the current technology at what level of input drive?

What is needed is a change in state between the neutral matter state to the plasma state. To draw an analogy from thermodynamics, a steam engine needs a temperature difference between the hot steam and the coal condenser to draw power. Likewise, a continuous state of plasma is non-productive in
