Breakthrough in energy production

By Barbara Vergetis Lundin

BlackLight Power (BLP) has created a process that produces electric energy from the conversion of water vapor to a new, more stable form of hydrogen.

Six independent studies were conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the California Institute of Technology. Concluding this research, scientists have validated the company's "Hydrino Theory," saying that it "represents a fundamental breakthrough in clean energy technology." Hydrino's inventor claims that the process releases 200 times more energy than directly burning hydrogen.

"It would be irrational not to be very skeptical, and I was extremely skeptical," admits W. Henry Weinberg, a former professor of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Applied Physics at California Institute of Technology, as well as a former professor of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Materials Science at University of California.

"However, after having reviewed Dr. Mills' (inventor of the process) classical theory, participated in experimental designs and execution, and having reviewed vast amounts of other data BLP produced, I have found nothing that warrants rejection of their extraordinary claims, and I encourage aggressive optimization and fast track development of a scaled up prototype," he added.

The technology can be applied to commercial applications. The company claims that the energy harnessed as electrical power output is suitable for essentially all power applications, including transportation applications and electrical power production, independent of fuels and grid infrastructure at a fraction of current costs.

A 1.5 kW pilot unit that can serve the residential power market is expected to be operational by 2013.
