I assume that if Blacklight Power has anything, it must be fundamentally the
same as cold fusion. They don't want to hear that, but I am free to go on
assuming it. McKubre agrees with me, by the way.

Mike McKubre should know better, and so should Jed. It is amusing that
members of each camp should claim each other's territory; it illustrates how
tightly one holds onto his pet ideas. LENR theorists try to shoehorn LENR
phenomena into Quantum Mechanics [as if that gives respectabiltiy]. One
knowledgeable author on Mills [Tom Stolper] devotes 80 pages of his book on
assertions that LENR pheomena are "really" explained by Mills model of the H
atom and hydrinos.
Here is Mills with set of reactions with H as a fuel which repeatedly
prioduce 50kW energy bursts in an independant lab, with posted plans for
building power plants. Outside labs have verified experiments producing the
hydrino state as measured by NMR instruments. And, there is a theory
claiming consistency with classical physics valid over 85 orders of
magnitude.
Here is LENR, in disarray, with members fretting about conspiracies and
suppression when the principle problem is absence of any repeatable large
scale effect, as Mills has produced.
One can speculate that the fields must be connected at some deep level, and
search for such a connection. But the experiments are vastly different.
However, there is a common point which I have cited to CMNS and Vo with no
respose. I will cite it again. Mills has repeatedly stated that there exists
a H-2H catalytic reaction in which two H atoms can induce the hyrino
transition in a third H atom. Once created, the hydrino can catalyse other H
atoms. The conditions under whch the reaction rate may be significant
include the cathodes or LENR cells. The reaction is strongly exothermic,
beyond ordinary chemistry. Such may produce "excess heat", but does not
account for transmutation or 4He production. Notably, Mills has not claimed
any connection with LENR 'excess heat'.
There are now seven licenses issued for BLP power plants. The clients range
from small rural cooperatives to signficant corporations. One can be assured
that the negotiations were not be onlyh by prospectus, but by direct visits,
demonstrations, and outside consltants. As corporate commitments are
involved, due diligence is also, as meaningful as anyh number of journal
papers.
I note that Jed is carefully fence-sitting. I hope he as a pillow to make
his perch comfortable.:-).
