Blacklight Power launches home page make-over

Includes a new multimedia presentation touting "our next leap forward: the power of water. Using water as fuel, hydrinos release 200 times more energy than by burning hydrogen, making energy that's cheap, abundant, and generates no pollution or greenhouse gases."

The home page at BlacklightPower.com has received an upgrade.

When you load their home page, a flash screen rotates between various options for viewing.

The first menu option is "Power from Water: BlackLight Power's Vision and Mission". Clicking on it opens a high-class video presentation that reviews the major renewable energy strides that have been made, and then points to hydrino power as being the next major breakthrough.  It is a classy video that combines the elements of music, text, and visually-fitting and appealing images to convey the messages.

"We've learned to harness the wind and the sun. We've harnessed fire and the strongest forces of nature. Introducing our next leap forward: the power of water. Using water as fuel, hydrinos release 200 times more energy than by burning hydrogen, making energy that's cheap, abundant, and generates no pollution or greenhouse gases. Welcome to the hydrino economy, where our prosperity is limited only by our ambition; where we can keep our world, our oceans, and the air we breathe clean for future generations – energy made right here at home or anywhere in the world. Blacklight Power: the hydrino economy is coming."

The "hydrino economy" is a twist on the "hydrogen economy", inasmuch as the hydrino is a new species of hydrogen discovered and developed by Randall Mills of Blacklight.

Another option is to view a video of Rowan University's validation of BlackLight's 50 kW hydrino reactor.  Here is video, which has been available on YouTube since October 26, 2008.  That screen also gives an option to download Rowan's technical papers, dated May 2009.

Another option is to view Blacklight's Thermally Coupled Multi-Cell Reactor System.

The summary statement page reads:

"The hydrino reactions are maintained and regenerated in a batch mode using thermally-coupled multi-cells arranged in bundles wherein cells in the power-production phase of the cycle heat cells in the regeneration phase.  In this intermittent cell power design, the thermal power is statistically constant as the cell number becomes large, or the cells cycle is controlled to achieve steady power.  The conversion of thermal power to electrical power requires the use of a heat engine exploiting a cycle such as a Rankine, Brayton, Stirling, or steam-engine cycle.  Due to the temperatures, economy goal, and efficiency, the Rankine cycle is the most practical and can produce electricity from a steam source at 30–40% efficiency with a component capital cost of about $300 per kW electric.  Conservatively, assuming a conversion efficiency of 25% the total cost with the addition of the boiler and chemical components is estimated at $1380 per kW electric.  The system applications for distributed power (1 to 10 MW electric) and central generation retrofit and green-field projects are projected to be very competitive relative to existing power sources and systems.  The specifics of a reaction system design are presented."

The next option is regarding Blacklight's Continuous Power System.

An excerpt from the summary statement page, which repeats some of the pertinent info from the above summary, reads:

"The hydrino reactions are maintained and regenerated continuously in each cell wherein heat from the power production phase of a thermally reversible cycle provides the energy for regeneration of the initial reactants from the products.  Since the reactants undergo both modes simultaneously in each cell, the thermal power output from each cell is constant. [...]  The specifics of a reaction system design are presented."

The next option points to Blacklight's CIHT Cell and Applications for Motive Power.

The summary statement page reads:

"Rather than being limited by conventional thermal-based systems, a paradigm shifting technology called CIHT is enabled by the unique attributes of the catalyzed hydrino transition.  The exchange reactions are the basis of a unique electrochemical cell wherein the power is developed by the reaction of hydrogen to form hydrinos.  Being direct electric, the capital costs are projected to be about $25/kW electric, about two percent of thermal systems, with no infrastructure requirements, and the system is deployable for essentially any application at any scale.

"In general, the chemical power released during the formation of hydrinos from hydrogen can be harnessed for motive power by several types of systems.  The BlackLight Process has four principal applications to motive power, (i) on-board powering of the drive train with the game-changing CIHT technology, (ii) charging of electric vehicle batteries (iii) generation of combustible fuels, specifically hydrogen gas by electrolysis of water, and (iv) a hybrid electrical vehicle powered by heat that is converted to electricity to charge batteries that drive electric motors.  The advantages and disadvantages are considered for the most to least competitive design."

The last option is a bit puzzling as to its relevance to Blacklight Power and energy.  It is a link to Millsian.com, a subsidiary of Blacklight.  They provide software for molecular modeling.

This is apparently an outgrowth of the molecular and atomic studies they have done relating to the hydrino -- a new species of hydrogen.  They show a 3-D model of DNA and of insulin, among other molecules.
