Wow. I just ran though his overview presentation, and as best as I can tell, this guy is completely legit and the process is for real. I'm wondering how this guy flew under the radar for so long. He's got peer reviewed papers going back three or four years reporting his results. Anyhow, if the energy required to run the hydrolysis machine and the plasma generator are well below the energy released by the hydrogen atom going into a more tightly bound state, then this has some real potential. This has some huge ramifications. First, R.L. Mills is going to become richer than Bill Gates. (not really joking). Second, this could really solve our energy problems.

This looks amazing!

Turbonator/Vortexvalve?
I'm not a particle physicist and I'm not going to pretend to understand this technology, but to me it seems like snake oil. I'm a cynical b***ard, I admit it.
The thing that bothers me is: They are trying to SELL this "technology" while they can't even prove to the physics community that it works in theory let alone practice. IF they have made a discovery, it's far too early in the research to be trying to make money out of it. Their glossy website contains a lot of flashy marketing and somewhat fantastic claims. It reads like the polished words of a salesman. Not entirely unlike the websites of companies that make bogus performance parts for your car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrino For 15 years, Dr Mills has been marketing his impending "new energy source" and has raised over $50 MILLION in venture capital. All the while, respected scientists have been pointing out huge flaws in his theory - although some say that his results merit further experimentation. Don't get me wrong. I've always thought that quantum theory doesn't make sense. I'd love to see somebody prove that the classical laws of physics do in fact still apply at the quantum level. I just don't think that Blacklight have acheived what they claim.

This "is" snake oil. 1 thin dime, 1 tenth of a dollah!! Be the envy of all your friends by defying all physical laws! Think guys... If his theories were mathematically correct, the universe wouldn't even be here. We've all been through chemistry, and we all have had some form of physics shoved down our throats. There is no zero sum here, and we must zero out or things end up in mushroom clouds naturally without our coaxing. Wish it "was" true. Wait... no I don't. I wouldn't be here to say it.

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.
