BlackLight's Hydrino Going Commercial
The BlackLight Process is said to generate enormous amounts of
cheap, non-polluting heat that will replace the thermal power in coal, oil,
gas and nuclear power plants that is then converted to electricity.

Cranbury, NJ, USA -- BlackLight Power Inc. announced Wednesday the
successful testing of a new energy source. The company has successfully
developed a prototype power system generating 50,000 watts of thermal power
on demand.
This 50 kW unit is ready for commercial production. The company is
presently in discussion with various engineering and manufacturing firms to
take this product commercial.
“The BlackLight Process generates enormous amounts of cheap, non-polluting
heat that will replace the thermal power in coal, oil, gas and nuclear power
plants that is then converted to electricity,” said Randell Mills, Chairman,
CEO, and President of BlackLight Power Inc.
With gasoline prices continually escalating, Mills says the BlackLight
Process is the breakthrough we’ve all been waiting for. “The
hydrogen-burning car has been possible for decades, but there has never been
a way to produce cheap hydrogen until today. We are projecting that we will
be at the scale of power generation necessary for a power plant to replace
the gasoline pumped in a day at a station with hydrogen from water in
approximately 24 months.”
Incorporating existing industry knowledge in chemical and power engineering,
BlackLight Power (BLP) is pursuing the immediate design and engineering of
central power plants utilizing the BlackLight Process. BLP plans on
developing pilot plants with architecture and engineering firms with
anticipated delivery in approximately 12 to 18 months.
The BLP process has been replicated and validated by independent scientists
and has received interest from financial institutions and power utility
plant operators around the world. BLP plans on licensing its technologies.
This breakthrough was entirely supported by private capital with no
government investment.
Dr. Shelby Brewer, former CEO of ABB Combustion Engineering and Assistant
Secretary of Energy during the Reagan Administration said of this
announcement: “In my nearly 50 years in and around the energy business, I’ve
yet to see a breakthrough as promising as this one. When I was studying to
become a nuclear engineer in the 1960s, I never imagined I would see a day
like today.”
Michael Jordan, former CEO of Westinghouse and current board member of
BlackLight Power, says “the breakthroughs announced by Randell Mills and his
team of scientists will go down as one of the most important advances in the
field of energy in the last fifty years.”
BlackLight Process
BlackLight Power, Inc. is the pioneer of technology based on the patented
process of releasing chemical energy from hydrogen called the "BlackLight
Process." BlackLight has mapped the physical structure of electrons in atoms
and molecules that has helped generate a prospectively efficient, clean,
cheap, and versatile thermal energy source.
The BlackLight Process is a novel chemical process causing the latent
energy stored in the hydrogen atom to be released as a new primary energy
source. This allows the negatively charged electron that is otherwise in a
stable orbit to move closer to the naturally attracting, positively charged
nucleus to release large amounts of energy.
This patented process of releasing chemical energy from hydrogen generates
power, heat, plasma (an energetic state of matter comprising a hot, glowing,
ionized gas), light, and proprietary new compounds.
The BlackLight Process is a breakthrough in power generation by the
invention of a solid fuel that uses conventional chemical reactions to
generate the catalyst and atomic hydrogen at high reactant densities that in
turn achieves very high power densities.
In principle, power plants would utilize continuous regeneration of the
solid fuel mixture using known industrial processes; and the only
consumable, the hydrogen fuel, would be obtained ultimately from water
due to the enormous net energy release relative to combustion. The catalyst
causes the hydrogen atoms to transition to lower-energy states by allowing
their electrons to fall to smaller radii around the nucleus with a release
of energy that is intermediate between chemical and nuclear energies.
The primary application is as a new primary energy source.
The process is also a new field of hydrogen chemistry. Specifically, energy
is released as the electrons of hydrogen atoms are induced by a catalyst to
transition to lower-energy levels (i.e. drop to lower base orbits around
each atom's nucleus). The net energy released may be over one hundred times
that of combustion of the hydrogen fuel with power densities comparable to
those of fossil fuel combustion and nuclear power plants.
As hydrogen atoms and catalyst atoms are normally found bound together as
molecules or are bound in other compositions of matter, BlackLight has
invented a solid fuel that uses conventional chemical reactions to generate
the catalyst and atomic hydrogen at high reactant densities that in turn
controllably achieves very high power densities.
The hydrogen fuel could be obtained by diverting a fraction of the output
energy of the process to power the electrolysis of water into its elemental
constituents. With water as the fuel, the operational cost of BlackLight
Power generators is likely to be very inexpensive. Moreover, rather than air
pollutants or radioactive waste, novel hydrogen compounds with potential
commercial applications are the by-products.
Mills has released a
paper/presentation (pdf; 5.83 MB) outlining the full documentation and
explanation of the BlackLight Process. He is committed to announcing all
future progress as it occurs.
Applications
Two of the potential applications of this technology are in heating and
electric power production.
The heat-generating prototypes have shown the BlackLight Process to be
potentially competitive with existing primary generation sources over a
range of scales from micro-distributed to central power generation. The
BlackLight Process thermal power source may be ideal for interfacing with
commercially available electric power generating equipment including
Sterling engines and turbines for micro-distributed and distributed
electrical applications, respectively.
On larger scales, the BlackLight technology may be well-suited for the
utility industries and could reduce or eliminate problems such as those
arising from the variable regional supply and price of fuels such as coal,
natural gas, and oil, the cost of building out a suitable supporting
infrastructure and transmission grids, and eliminate pollution, greenhouse
gas emission and other market, supply, infrastructure, or environmental
adversities.
Commercial-scale devices demonstrating means of extracting the energy have
been operated in batch mode at BlackLight. BlackLight envisions the scale-up
of energy devices to commercial power generation levels will require the
application of existing industry knowledge in chemical and power
engineering, and not new technology breakthroughs.
BlackLight Process experimental results on its process and compositions of
matter are
published widely and have been replicated by independent groups.
