50 kilowatt BlackLight reactor is ready for use

New Energy Source

BlackLight Power, Inc. is the inventor of a new primary energy source with applications to heating, distributed power generation, central power generation, and motive power. It is based on a new chemical process of releasing the latent energy of the hydrogen atom, the BlackLight Process. On October 20, 2008, BlackLight announced off-site validation of a 50 kW reactor. Rowan Scientists confirmed BLP's 1 kW and 50 kW power source tests corresponding to 20 kilojoules and 1.0 megajoules respectively.  Chemical analysis of the reactant and product R-Ni powder could account for less than 1% of the observed energy from known chemistry.  BlackLight's results have been published widely and replicated by independent groups.

Still waiting to hear from these independent groups?, so far Rowen are the only ones to publish and even that's unclear, the chemical composition of the powder is still unknown.

They posted a video of Rowan University validation.   It appears they validated the heat from the reaction in only "bursts".  BlackLight Power claims - "new energy source ready for commercialization"  but the engineering looks to be only in developmental stages to me.  There is no real power generator shown.  They only show that they can heat water with a new chemical reaction using Hydrogen and a catalyst in new way.  While this may be exciting and a possible solution to making electricity, it looks to be years away from any commercial product.   Not sure what they need to get to the next step.   Is it government funding?

"Specifically, molecular sodium hydride, NaH, serves as a catalyst and a source for the atomic hydrogen fuel in the heat releasing reaction to form hydrinos and then molecular hydrinos."

I would say that sums up the materials used... specifically.

In the video, "nickel powder" is mentioned.  The "black light powder" might be a cocktail of various metal hydrides-- perhaps nickel, lithium, sodium, aluminum, etc..
