Since Monday seems to be 'dish on BLP' day on Vortex, let me add one curious detail.
Seldom mentioned, but potentially glaring in the context of intellectual property. No matter how great the new BLP Reactor turns out to be when it finally arrives - there is one fact that hardly anyone can deny. Any result achieved with hydrogen would (with almost complete certainty 99+%) be improved with deuterium instead of hydrogen. This may not be cost effective, but that remains to be seen. And almost certainly, the better results would raise issues with the prior art of P&F and others. Very similar experiments to Mills have been done by Kitamura, Takahashi, and many others comparing hydrogen to deuterium, and deuterium always performs better. Can anyone site any experiment done anywhere by anyone - comparing hydrogen with deuterium on a lattice catalyst - where the hydrogen performed better? I think not, but experience has taught that whenever I go out on that shaky limb of 99+% certainty, someone will find the exception . . which may or may not "prove the rule", but will humble the commentator.
