Jones,
Jones, you give me the impression that you perceive Mills as remaining stalwart in his actions while bravely staying at the helm of a mortally wounded ship he knows is sinking. To me is actions strike me more like that of a political campaign manager who feels the need to constantly beat back a storm of threatening waves - doing his best to make sure his ship remains afloat. As we all know, Mills has had to do a lot of bailing for decades. Granted, it's understandable that many observers, perhaps you as well, find the bailing behavior less convincing these days. I get that. At present I'm still willing to cut BLP some slack here. I want to see how the yet to be proven SunCell technology might possibly develop within the next year or two of intense R&D effort. I thought the 2014 December delivery date of a commercial prototype was unrealistic. The fact that it has come and gone concerns me little. I've learned to be a patient man. Often, Mills standard response against skepticism of his claims can be found in the following comments recently posted: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SocietyforClassicalPhysics/conversations /messages/4660 "We have plenty of POC demonstrations such as calorimetry by multiple manufacturers and academics on commercial instruments. We have plenty of proof of hydrino with 12 analytical tests run at multiple labs, EUV continuum spectroscopy , and astrophysical data. We have plenty of theory confirmation on predictions of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, mass of the top quark, muonic hydrogen Lamb shift, absence of time dilation in highly redshifted quasars, double slit mechanism, identity of dark matter, analytical solutions of molecules with match to AFM imaging, etc." I think Mills has repeated such claims many times in the past. If one is willing to dig through some of the recent You Tube videos BLP posted last summer for the interested, we appear to see some credible individuals residing in universities or labs confirming some of these controversial energy findings. I'm not in a position to judge the veracity of such claims. Perhaps others on this list can. In the meantime I see no reason to doubt these alleged independent findings, not without hard evidence to suggest deliberate cheating was occurring. So far, I see none. My beef with Mills, a beef that Jed also appears to have expressed, is that BLP has contracted out to engineering firms with a goal to build a commercial prototype before first suggesting said firms might first want to assemble a more forgiving self-running experimental prototype - a prototype whose only goal would be to prove the fact that SunCell technology can run on its own and generate excess electricity without the need of an external power source. The prototype does not have to run long... just long enough to prove their point. I think it is unwise of BLP not to have taken this intermediate step. I have said so over at SCP. Apparently, Mills disagrees. So, that's where it stands for me. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson svjart.orionworks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
