2 BLACKLIGHT POWER ( BLP )
CIHT CELL VALIDATION (November 2011)
The present report deals with the studies aimed at validating several second generation CIHT (Catalyst - Induced - Hydrino - Transition) cells that were assembled at the BLP facility. In contrast to th e first generation cells, BLP has identified a novel proprietary electrolyte consisting of earth - abundant and eco - friendly chemicals.
All t ests were performed at BlackLight Power, Inc. at their Cranbury, NJ laboratories . The primary focus of the vali dation is to analyze the net electrical production from proprietary CIHT cells using the hydrogen fuel from water and supply it to the electrochemical reaction .
The electrical output was corrected for highest energy possible for any known conventional e lectrochemical reactions based on the initial and final analysis of the cell contents. The electrical energy balances were performed with multiple state - of - the - art battery testing systems (Arbin BT 2000) that were calibrated to high accuracy (<0.1% error) at the factory and confirmed using a digital oscilloscope at BLP. The net electrical energy gain determined in this manner for many different systems, configurations, and modes of operation were 162%, 340%, 385%, 167%, 195%, 456%, 735%, 182%, 151%, 425% and 186%.
Typically, steady electrical power was continuously measured from the cell for more than a week and up to more than 30 days before the cell was stopped and the cell contents were analyzed by a cascade of characterization tools . These tests wer e necessary for an accurate determination of potential chemical change s . Controls were processed under the same protocol and analyzed using the same analytical instruments in triplicate. Measurements included weight change of the active electrode (anode) and any compositional change of the electrolyte by compositional analysis using ICP, XRF and XRD.
Special systems were run with controlled mass flow to rule out the possibility of hypothetical conventional energy contributions . ‘
“Hydrino” pro duct was identified by the presence of an up field - shifted NMR peak characteristic of reduced - radius (lower - energy) hydrogen. Each CIHT cell comprised a set of metal electrodes and an ionically conductive electrolyte. W ater supplied as vapor to the cell or extracted from air , from which hydrogen was generated by electrolysis , appears to be the source of electric energy output . Due to the electrochemistry occurring in the cell, an electric current flowed through a load of the electrical testing inst rument with an internal ion flow of the electrolyte completing the electric circuit. The mechanism of operation appears to involve specific chemicals of the electrolyte that formed the catalyst and atomic hydrogen during electron and ion flow needed for t he production of electricity. The excess electricity observed was consistent with the electrochemical production of low - energy form of hydrogen providing the energy source.
Indeed, the electrical energy out surpassed by multiples the electricity required to generate the hydrogen fuel from water .
The cell was continuously regenerative and operated at constant power output for extended periods . The mass and energy balance s were performed on each cell. The electrode at which the electrical power was devel oped (anode) was weighed to rule out the possibility of any reaction that could give rise to excess electrical energy observed in the present CIHT cells. The electrolyte was also carefully analyzed by elemental analysis. Controls comprised the same start ing compositions and treatments as the electrical - power - producing anodes and electrolytes.
The cell used nontoxic , earth - abundant commodity chemicals, and the system operating conditions were similar to those of exi s ting technologies such as batte ries and fuel cells . However , the stand - alone generation of electricity from water reported here is truly exceptional . The confirmatory electrical and analytical data and analysis is available upon request.

RE: [Vo]:Mill’s theory behind the hydrino
Jones Beene Thu, 23 Jan 2014 08:57:22 -0800
From: Stefan Israelsson Tampe
Also if there any serious issues with his math I would like to know, else he
deserves respect, with or without the hydrino.
He is a brilliant thinker, yet the great disappointment in Mills (from most
of us on this forum) has been in is his failure to deliver, as an
experimentalist. He has not lived up to his claims and there is a level of
dishonesty which shows through. IOW his theory does not make predictions
which have led to real devices, at least not in the past but he insists that
they have.
For instance, there was an early charge of plagiarism in the first versions
of the theory, but it was in details which were not greatly relevant. In
fact, it was bulk plagiarism of the cut-and-paste variety - and it was
quickly removed from later versions.
However, the most telling historical issue for me in the Mills story is that
several of his early co-authors, all PhDs - moved on to other jobs, often
lesser paying jobs in Academia.
That would be unheard of in a situation where the staff really thought that
a major breakthrough in Physics was eminent. I think that they were
disillusioned about the growing gap between what was “on paper” in the
theory - and what was turning up in the Laboratory.
I have not the least doubt that Mills experiments have resulted in
radioactive ash, and that he has hidden this from the public, and the R&D
staff was sworn to silence.
Finding even tiny amounts of radioactive ash is absolutely devastating to
Mills in the IP arena. It can, and will, cost him millions, possibly
billions . and he has dug himself into a hole on the issue - since it keeps
him from actual 3rd party independent testing without incredible NDAs. There
is not a single true replication of his work without these restrictions.
The fractional hydrogen redundancy reaction can be described as one which is
a predecessor state to LENR, in my estimation - and Mills is powerless to do
anything to change that basic fact - other than to hide it, since it kills
his IP.
This kind of thing really turns off young PhDs who want to dig for the whole
truth.

Inch by inch, step by step, we get a little closer every day.
“The cell used nontoxic , earth - abundant commodity chemicals,”
I like how they use environmentalism to help sell the scam.
It seems that Jones Beene’s concerns have been addressed by this validation memo
You never know. The Prince Philip cult actually got to meet the object of their worship in spite of being deluded fools.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Philip_Movement
The hot-fusion boys used similar language in their scam. The difference is that maybe cold fusion accounts for $60M, but hot fusion accounts for %600B in their scam, 4 orders of magnitude worse. Do we see skeptopaths generating 4 orders of magnitude more invective on hot-fusion threads? Nope. Because fraud isn’t really their concern.
Sounds too good to be true.....therefore....
Almost like free energy.
Not going to hold my breath.
So you think that a
Professor
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Rowan University
is a crackpot or made mistakes in his validation?
No way of knowing if he is exaggerating,lying, mistaken or angling for
research $$$. The claims made are extraordinary....approaching the
“free energy/perpetual motion” territory. Extraordinary claims require
extraordinary proof. Till multiple independent competent research
facilities corroborate and successfully duplicate these results they are
to be considered unproven.
He’s most likely “angling for
research $$$”.
The claims made are not all that extraordinary in the light of 14,700 replications of the P-F Anomalous Heat Event.
As far as I can tell Black Light paid this professor for his signature on a piece of paper that resides at Black Light, not Rowan University as the OP would have us believe. Furthermore, this little piece of cargo cult science took place over two years ago. You’d think that huge amounts of power from cheap water would have overtaken the markets by now.
As I said.....I’m not holding my breath.
You’d think that huge amounts of power from cheap water would have overtaken the markets by now.
***Then the same concept applies to controlled-hot-fusion. You’d think that Mr. Fusion boxes would have overtaken markets by now.
If only Rossi had been working on hot fusion........
Rossi could learn a thing or two about running cons from the Controlled-Hot-Fusion (CHF) boys. His corner-turn is a couple of years; theirs has always been 50 years. He’s supposedly “conned” guvmints of a few million per your assertion; they’ve conned our guvmint of hundreds of $Billions. He has to turn over IP, actually have something to sell; they’ve produced zero IP to sell. Yup, those CHF frauds are far better con artists than Rossi ever could be.
Right, because no one has ever seen useful amounts of energy produced by fusion.
What does Jennifer think about this article?
