Wish it "was" true. Wait... no I don't. I wouldn't be here to say it.

Blacklight Power does not advertise power from nothing. They postulate (and according to their research have observed) the presence of electron energy levels in the hydrogen atom that are more tightly bound than what is considered to be the ground state orbital according to conventional quantum mechanics.

Using what they call a "catalyst", they induce the electron in the hydrogen atom to move to one of these more tightly bound orbitals, and in doing so, the electron emits energy in the 20 nm to 200 nm wavelength range (UV or EUV range). The energy is in the range of 30-100 eV, and if the reaction rate is high enough, then this could be a viable energy source. They call the more tightly bound hydrogen atom a "hydrino".

Some things I'm not clear on are the stability of this hydrino atom. Their description of it implies that its stable, but I have not seen any explicit statement of such. I also still don't have a grasp on the nature of the catalyst that they use to induce the electrons to move into a more tightly bound orbital.

While Mills has been expounding the presence of this energy source for many many years, in the last few months they claimed to have arrived at close form mathematical solutions for the electron configuration in many low Z atoms and molecules. If true, this is an amazing result in itself that is worth of the Nobel prize.

So it seems to me that in the next year or so, either these guys will become famous or infamous.
