If your goal is to simply make and filter hydrinos for production purposes, it should be a lot easier than capturing and converting the UV energy. One charming aspect of the BLP picture is that if you are a chemical company needing hydrinos for your products, you can buy a BLP reaactor system, hook it to your drinking fountain, and make your own, while producing enough power to run your factory and sell some to the grid. Or, if you want power, you can buy a BLP micropower station and sell the hydrinos on the market as a valuable chemical feedstock. You get UV and hydrinos from the plasma. No good direct to electric conversion is in sight, so far as I can see, so you go the wasteful thermal cycle. The chicken and egg problem requires energy chickens first. there is an immediate demand for energy and conversion systems are well understood. For chemicals, first the lab guys at company A have to become familiar with the properties of BLP-N1, then figure out what kind of product to make [nail polish or battleship paint?] and then go through a very messy R&D cycle which could take years before you get to the marketing campaign -- and by then you have to be sure you have a guaranteed supply of BLP-N1. > > As an aside, I was surprised that you were the same age as Jones.
