Subject: Re: [Vo]:Banking on BLP?
OK, you caught me lurking.
I am fascinated by this BLP stuff but haven't been following it in detail
over the years.
MC: You have a lot of cathing up to do. Go to www.blacklghtopower.com and
soak up the tutorial material available; it is quite condensed. The paper I
cited will be rough going.
Ron Wormus gave this:
http://www.blacklightpower.com/Documentary%20Video/blacklight_experiment_video_v2.wmv
The videos are not very instructive. there are a lot of animations worthy of
study.
These guys seem competent, respected and well kitted out in their lab. Where
is a video or write up for the more technical crowd?
MC: Mills magnum opus, all 1000+ pages, can be downloaded from the website,
along with selected papers. A list of over 70 journal papers is given,
available for a fee from the respctive journals. There is an extensive Power
Point briefing, but no narration. The best book I know of about Mills is
"America's Newton" by Tom Stolper, available as a print-on-demand book from
Amazon.
'Heat spike': relative magnitudes MC: 50 kW reported, megajoule total heat.
'Small amount of hydrogen': How much? MC: About 5 mg NaOH charge.
Nickel: How much? about 1 kg Raynal-Ni, a commercial catalyst
Electrical input: etc Energy input for heater1396 kJ, output 2194 kJ, excess
753 kJ [vaporize 8 oz water]
Temperature of reaction vessel? Peaked at 600 C
Did Ni undergo phase change? Not stated. All reactants resused except added
H.
Big questions:
1) More power is generated than is needed to split water from hydrogen. What
about that needed to regenerate the Ni or is it a consumable? MC: Ni is not
a comsumeable. Power needed to operate the recycling process not known,
pending engineering studies. The final energy yield is so high that there is
reasonable belief that a closed cycle system can be built. Doing such is
BLP's current target.
2) Is the Ni H complex somehow more inert at the end of the process? MC: I
don't know. Mills states that it is only necessary to add H in the
regeneration steps, and that such has been deomostrated by bench chemistry.
Whether this holds true in a large scale operating reaction remains to be
seen. Surprises can be expected.
I can't vouch anything for Mills' GUTs because I haven't been exposed to
them. It is understood that Chemistry is the physics of the outer electron
shell. Processes are expected to be only a few eV. MC: The shell shrinks
during the catalysis process, releasing a large burst of energy. Multiple
stages of shrinkage have been observed.
A Chemistry of inner electron shells would be radical and he would be a
visionary in the league of a Linus Pauling when he used QM to describe the
chemical bond. MC: True, and Mills is only dealing with hydrogen [or
deuterium]. Mills has developed software for molecular modeling by a
subisidary Millsian, Inc.
On this point would the activation energies of these reactions be
prohibitively large or slow to start but then rapidly feeding back? Can they
do chemical kinetic type experiments to postulate reaction intermediates,
you know, what data? Mechanisms. MC: The activation enegies are a small
fraction of the yield. Once hydrinos are created, they can interact in
complex ways.
On a simple hydrogen model, the energy levels are proportional to the mass
of the electron. To drop below would require the mass of the electron to
change. I can't imagine (yet) what the effect of a change in the effective
mass would have in a lattice. I guess it wouldn't. I don't know how easy it
is to transmute electrons into muons. MC: The mass of the electron does not
change; its orbit is closer to the proton.
Any suggestions and write ups?
MC: See above. Good Hunting.
