Fuel's paradise? Power source that turns physics on its head

· Scientist says device disproves quantum theory · Opponents claim idea is result of wrong maths

It seems too good to be true: a new source of near-limitless power that costs virtually nothing, uses tiny amounts of water as its fuel and produces next to no waste. If that does not sound radical enough, how about this: the principle behind the source turns modern physics on its head.

Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims to have built a prototype power source that generates up to 1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel. Independent scientists claim to have verified the experiments and Dr Mills says that his company, Blacklight Power, has tens of millions of dollars in investment lined up to bring the idea to market. And he claims to be just months away from unveiling his creation.

The problem is that according to the rules of quantum mechanics, the physics that governs the behaviour of atoms, the idea is theoretically impossible. "Physicists are quite conservative. It's not easy to convince them to change a theory that is accepted for 50 to 60 years. I don't think [Mills's] theory should be supported," said Jan Naudts, a theoretical physicist at the University of Antwerp.

What has much of the physics world up in arms is Dr Mills's claim that he has produced a new form of hydrogen, the simplest of all the atoms, with just a single proton circled by one electron. In his "hydrino", the electron sits a little closer to the proton than normal, and the formation of the new atoms from traditional hydrogen releases huge amounts of energy.

I can get you in on this as I represent his company as a broker. Minimum investment is Euro10,000.

If you have a (practically) limitless energy source you can make your own oil from carbon and hydrogen.

Uh-huh.

And I read about a guy who met a guy that had an uncle who used to work with a person that met a guy whose 3rd cousin once drank with this woman whose ex-husband's niece's boyfriend worked with a guy whose grand-father invented a carburetor that got 200 MPG. Then G.M, Ford and 'big' oil' had him killed by a rogue CIA agent.

Remember that, it was in all the papers.

But what % of crude is used for heating/transportation? I would venture it is well over 50%. I believe when an alternative energy source to crude becomes available. the middle east won't be able to give away the crude they will be swimming in. It would be in the best interests of the rest of the world to deprive the animals of the oil money they get from us and turn around and spend on ways to destroy us.

If you like stats, this should be interesting.

BINGO!

Fortunately for us:

The Wright Brothers did not publish an "article" on flight -- they flew!

Thomas Edison did not publish an "article" on the telephone -- he built one!

etc...

No doubt, your second point explains why ATT called its research facility the "Bell Labs"...

...had a way to run an engine with nothing but water.

So did a couple of fellows named, "Newcomen" and "Watt". Of course there was some little detail about keeping a fire going, and they called it a "steam engine"...

Mills has been selling stock in Blacklight Power for years. He is always "just months away" from success. I'll believe it when I see it.

I've probably been scammed.

Don't feel bad. I've spent a fortune building just about every free energy project you can think of. I've devoted my shop to crackpot science since I retired.

If Mills ever does produce a device that appears to work, even if it is not practicle, the media attention will cause the stock to skyrocket. Sell then to turn a profit.

It's interesting that many of the journal articles that this guy cites for his work come from this organization.

Where's my tinfoil hat?

Does this mean my lousy grades in physics need to be reviewed?? Maybe I was just ahead of my time????

This nut has been around for several years. I can't believe he's still getting away with it.

You are correct. This place is just outside Princeton NJ, not far from where I am. This is a rehash of cold fusion with the terms changed to confuse the newbies.
