Hi Mike,
Is the new "solid fuel" process commercially viable? The implication
over at the BLP web site has been that the new-and-improved process
has been proven experimentally to self-generate through well-known
chemical manufacturing processes. If this really is an authentic
breakthrough in how to sustain the critical regenerative process to
produce excess energy couldn't BLP & lawyers simply patent the process
that generates the excess heat and, well, sort of gloss over (at least
for now) the alleged theory behind it?
IMHO the solid fuel reactor is the closest to commercial viability of
anything so far posted by BLP. BLP usually can back up such posts by
experimental work, as stated. The fact that critical details are glossed
over I interpret as evidence of ongoing patent application negotiations. The
claimed evolution of H and catalyst from heating the solid fuel could enable
high energy density in the reactor. In the animation, an end product of
KH(1/4) is mentioned. This implies a very energetic reaction which is
claimed to enable regeneration of the fuel, electrolysis of water, and
operation of a heat cycle engine to produce useful external work.
The patent issue is something else. BLP seeks fundamental patents whose
claims will read on all possible applications to garner royalties for the
BLP investors and partners. Some time ago BLP submitted a massive
application of hundreds of claims covering as many details of configurations
as possible, without mentioning hydrinos or theory. Such would be a recipe
patent as commonly found in the chemical industry. The problem is that some
novel configuration could evade the claims. Such has happened, for example
Armstrong did not get expectged revenue from his patents on FM reception
because an engineer at RCA devised a very simple circuit which walked around
Armstrong's claims.
Seeking fundamental patents involves the existence of hydrinos. The resonant
transfer penomenon is a natural phenomenon, which cannot be patented. Thus
BLP is faced with the whole of "accepted physics" in trying to get patents.
And without a strong patent base, investors and partners may not risk the
development cycle.
