Hey I've lost track are we getting near the next scam declaration from Mills?

I'm so ready to see how he is gonna word it.

Will he use the same old same old structure from before and try something new and different?

Will he change the name of his company again maybe to 'Nolightever' or something else?

Not to mention his team also being unaware.
Don't forget he's been unaware of how to get electrical energy from thermal energy for decades. Once he gets that esoteric problem cracked it will be full speed ahead!

Right, he had to contract out a heat exchanger and still couldn't get one built for a 1KW device.

Not likely to hear anything new for at least a couple of months. After all BLP gave its second quarter update in early April.
In case you missed it:
https://www.brilliantlightpower.com/...ate-040418.pdf
Pages 9, 10 have General Operations update
Page 18 has some info on the ceramic Suncell.
Near the bottom there is info on analysis of the web like substance which was news to me.

I thought the first part of the presentation was full of fluff, but the use in the second part of random still photos and every chart and graph ever created to create a sciency look was even more "impressive" (but perhaps in a not so good way).

"Our presentation doesn't have enough evidence and science! We need more sciency stuff!"
"I've found some 3-d charts on the internet"
"What, of our stuff?"
"Don't be ridiculous! They're really nice charts though"
"Fine, add them in. Stick some arrows on it, put science words near them, and make sure there's at least three greek letters near parts that look important."
"Okaaay.... how's this?"
"Almost perfect - just needs one of those equations with lots of bracket things and superscripts."
"Ah, I have just the thing. It's the equation for rate of decay of capacitance in a toroidal non-newtonian liquid magnetic field."
"Is that a thing?"
"Does it matter?"
"Hmmm.... it is pretty. Save that and print. We're done here."

Here's your new car. It has an "arbitrary horsepower" engine. When you step on the gas pedal, it might produce anywhere from 150 to 500 horsepower.

Under "Novel Hydrino Compounds", regarding the verification that hydrinos are being produced:

Quote:
Analytical identification of hydrino product is about 50% complete. ... There are analyses that appear unequivocal, but the results need repeating.
It is equivocally unequivocal that they are half way to verifying that hydrinos might be produced by their device.

Another 30 years of testing aught to do it!

Well, there goes the reams of independent verification of hydrino compounds we've been told about. Mills apparently no longer claims this to be the case.

Not a problem. Since hydrinos are massless, non-reactive, undetectable particles that form long lasting compounds that can do anything you can also use them to attach hearts to anything you want.
While drinking the free beer.

But seriously markie, how can you claim there are independent observations of hydrino (compounds) when Mills himself now claims that is not the case now?

Isn't it hard to defend someone who cannot keep his own claims straight?

Taking Mills seriously on on physics is like taking Ben Carson seriously on Egyptian archeology. There are people who do it, but it requires profound ignorance and religious fervor to do so.

When has Mills claimed that there have been no independent observations of hydrino signatures? Prof Chary has performed these experiments at Rowan, over the course of years.

If you have this in mind from the quarterly report:

Quote:
Current data supports that the products comprise hydrinos.
• There are analyses that appear unequivocal, but the results need repeating.
then that is clearly in the context of the new web like compounds recently produced.

Nearly 30 years of failure. At least 20 years of claiming a commercial product was going to be released within 18 to 24 months.

And yet you still support him.

At the very least it’s time to admit he and his team lack the technical chops to produce a commercial product. It’s just not going to happen. If you really believe Hydrinos are real it’s time to step up and start your own company to produce a generator. You don’t even need to worry about patents as Mills and his company don’t HAVE any valid patents!

Thumbs down A lie about "hydrino signatures" over years of experiments by Prof Ramanujachary

Originally Posted by markie View Post

25 May 2018 markie: A lie about "hydrino signatures" over years of experiments by Prof Ramanujachary at Rowan University.

28 November 2017 markie: A lie about providing a citation to current hydrino research at Rowen University.
markie claimed the presentation of a validation report (the one from 2009?) at a 2016 business meeting. What we can read is a comment from him that is not about "hydrino signatures".
Rowan University does not have any mention of hydrino research. K. V. Ramanujachary has never published anything on hydrino over those alleged years.

The 2016 SunCell validation report by Prof Ramanujachary does not contain the word hydrino ! This was done at BLP by BLP people using BLP equipment.

The 2011 validation report on the failed CIHT failed technology contains "hydrino" twice in the summary. The title is "Validation of Electrical Power Generation...". This was done at BLP by BLP people using BLP equipment.

There are 2009 technical reports of excess heat generation from other failed products (maybe not at BLP this time).

The evidence is that Prof Ramanujachary was paid three times to produce heat and power generation reports for BLP.

25 May 2018 markie: A lie that Prof Ramanujachary did independent experiments.
A paid consultant is by definition is not independent. Supervising BLP people at BLP using BLP equipment is not independent experiments.

RC: This is what I have in mind. From the Title page from http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-co...dentReport.pdf


Quote:
Synthesis and Characterization Alkali Metal Salts Containing Trapped Hydrino
Performed at Rowan University Glassboro, New Jersey
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry Prof. Amos Mugweru Prof. K.V. Ramanujachary Ms Heather Peterson Mr. John Kong Mr. Anthony Cirri
May 2009
Or how about this from https://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...-Form-Hydrogen

Quote:
Dr. K.V. Ramanujachary said, “The chemicals used in CIHT technology are similar to those used in thermal and chemical cells that were separately, thoroughly and diligently validated over the past three years by a team at Rowan University that included myself. Since the measurements on CIHT are electrical versus calorimetric, there can be no dispute over the power and the energy balance. With further optimization, there is no doubt that this technology will present an economically viable and environmentally benign alternate to meet Global energy needs. If advanced to commercialization, it would be one of the most profound developments ever.”

Completion of Thermal Energy Balance and Chemical Characterization of Solids Fuels at Rowan University

Additionally, an expanded team of scientists and engineers at Rowan University completed a thorough year-long series of additional testing of the thermal systems following the announcement and release of their validations in October 2008 and August 2009. Using BLP’s proprietary solid-fuel chemistry capable of continuous regeneration, independently formulated and tested fuels generated on-demand energy greater than that of combustion at power levels of kilowatts. Furthermore, when using BLP’s chemical process, Rowan University professors reported a net energy gain of up to 6.5 times the maximum energy potential of these materials from known chemical reactions.

In a joint statement, Dr. K.V. Ramanujachary, Rowan University Meritorious Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Dr. Amos Mugweru, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Dr. John L. Schmalzel P.E., Professor of Engineering and Dr. Peter Jansson P.E., Associate Professor of Engineering said, “In additional independent tests conducted over the last 12 months involving 13 solid fuel mixtures made by us from commercially-available chemicals confirmed by multiple analyses, our team of engineering and chemistry professors, staff and students at Rowan University has independently and consistently generated energy in excesses ranging from 1.3 times to 6.5 times the maximum theoretical heat available through known chemical reactions.”
Or how about listen for about a minute and a half to Chary himself speak about hydrino in 2014:

If you have this in mind from the quarterly report:



then that is clearly in the context of the new web like compounds recently produced.
Subtle change in wording there it's now "signatures" not compounds or actual hydrinos.

A report from BLP's website, not independently published in a peer reviewed journal.

Sorry, which part of "independent" is it that you don't understand?

What we’re seeing is the Free Energy scam version of the bad spelling and grammar in Nigerian 419 scams. People who understand what independent verification is don’t get to the point Markie is at. If he understood how evidence works in science at a remedial or better level he would not be offering BLP press releases as examples of “Independent” verification.

The shoddy and easily debunked nature of BLP’s claims is not a flaw in their scam, it’s a feature. It filters out the people who can see through the scam.

Filtering your own self-congratulatory press releases through PR firms isn't going to fool many people.

It does apparently fool enough people to keep money coming in, though.

Oh, this is noting compared to what will happen when Mills dies. The conspiracy theories insisting he's been "murdered" will be very entertaining. He'll be enshrined as a martyr by the tinfoil hatters. The fact that NOBODY will EVER be able to produce a Hydrino based heater or generator will be blamed on "The Powers that Be" somehow "suppressing" some key piece of information.

I'm sure one of the people at his lab will start a fire to cover up evidence of the con, which will then be the "proof" the government "destroyed" some vague and amorphous piece of technology or knowledge that was what allowed "The Mills generators to work."

Yeah I suspect that the scam will outlive Mills. You have to wonder if he is actually the guy pushing it now? Have others realizing they can keep the money train going are now pushing it while keeping a confused and befuddled 'believing' Mills as the front man? That I suspect will certainly happen once he dies.

This would earn you an F on a high school research paper on the topic.
-self published
-self referencing
-unreplicated
-no actual data

If hes not in on it, then he's the single must gullible and easily manipulated man on the planet. He'd have to be dumber than his investors!
