BLACKLIGHT PROCESS
On April 25, 1991, the inventor of BlackLight Power's technology and founder, Dr. Mills, announced a new and reproducible method for generating large amounts of heat during the electrolysis or the conversion of ordinary water into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen. BLP has subsequently refined the technology which relates to releasing heat energy from hydrogen.
The thermal energy producing technology is based on a chemical process causing catalytic hydrogen collapse called the "BlackLight Process." More specifically, thermal energy is released as the electrons of hydrogen atoms are induced by a catalyst to transition to lower energy levels (i.e. drop to lower base orbits around each atom's nucleus) corresponding to fractional quantum numbers. As hydrogen atoms are normally found bound together as molecules, a hot tungsten filament is used to break hydrogen molecules into individual hydrogen atoms. A vaporized inorganic catalyst then causes the normal hydrogen atoms to collapse to smaller-than-normal hydrogen atoms by stimulating their electrons to fall to smaller radii around the nucleus. The hydrogen collapse is accompanied by a release of energy that is intermediate between chemical and nuclear energies. The catalysts used are the proprietary information of BLP. The theory, data and analysis supporting the existence of this new form of energy have been made publicly available 1, 2. Laboratory scale devices demonstrating means of extracting the energy have been operated at BLP and at independent laboratories. Results to date indicate the process can support economically competitive products in a wide range of applications including motive power and stationary electric power generation.
The advantages of the technology are that the hydrogen fuel is abundant, since it can be obtained in the BlackLight Process by diverting only a fraction of the energy created by the BlackLight Process to split water into its elemental constituents of hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. Additionally, pollution produced by fossil and nuclear fuels should be eliminated since no green house gases are generated. As no fossil fuels are required, the projected commercial operating costs are much less than that of any competing energy source.
