Blacklight Power Returns With More Lab Validation

For readers who aren’t familiar with Blacklight Power (likely the majority), here’s the executive summary: A company formed in 1991 (right after the cold fusion claims of Fleischmann and Pons were torn apart) claims that it can extract nearly limitless amounts of energy from water, by moving hydrogen atoms to a theoretical state almost all physicists believe to be impossible.

But unlike most of the free energy crowd, Blacklight has survived for almost two decades and has a staff of dedicated Ph.Ds, including its founder, Randell Mills. It has also taken about $60 million in funding, and struck deals with utilities to sell them electricity. And its process has received third-party validation from Rowan University.
Blacklight presents a tantalizing case, because it dangles just enough credible details to keep telling its story. And it doesn’t hurt that the math the company is based on is incomprehensible to ordinary mortals.

The latest in its saga is news that three researchers at Rowan have run a second round of tests on Blacklight’s solid fuel. The trio say they have verified that the fuel is capable of continuously releasing more energy than is put in to start the reaction. And this time, they made the fuel themselves rather than receiving from the company — a significant difference from the first test, when associate professor Peter Jansson told me he wasn’t sure what Blacklight did to prepare the material.

Most importantly, the Rowan group says they have gotten 6.5 times more energy than the maximum energy potential of the materials involved. The implication is that Blacklight’s special hydrogen atom, the “hydrino”, is making an appearance. Hydrinos supposedly have an electron in an extremely low orbit around the nucleus; getting it there releases the extra energy.
