On July 30, BlackLight Power announced a commercial license agreement with Maryland-based Akridge Energy. BLP will allow Akridge to use their energy producing process for generating electricity in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Colombia, up to a maximum continuous capacity of 400 MW.
This is one of the rare free energy claim verified by a University.

Anybody knows what that black powder is ? From the above link it looks like its a industrial form of nickel called Raney nickel, doped with sodium hydroxide. Anyone knows the secret?
Nice find Omega_0
This looks very promising or sounds too good to be true.
Though it has been verified by one university hmmm.
time will tell

this technology has been known for decades but nobody ever pursued it like Blacklight.
They are taking advantage of Nickels affinity for Hydrogen, Nickel is not the best element to use for their purposes, I explain in another post here on this site that Palladium is the best to use because Palladium has a higher affinity than Nickel does I believe the approx is about 3x the amount of Hydrogen can be liberated from the water molecule and more than this if the water is pre-ionized and heated along with the Palladium powder.
Don't use Nickel powder or Black Nickel Oxide that these people are using, it is inefficient.
sure Palladium is more expensive but the results are much greater and the Palladium can be reused over and over if heated to it pre-melting point to liberate the Hydrogen from the binding force of the Palladium.
it is pretty simple stuff.

This was one of the technologies that Dr. Eugene Mallove of M.I.T. and Harvard championed, before his murder over 5 years ago (yet unsolved).
Thats two he was right about so far, in terms of finally reaching mainstream acceptance (the other of course being LENR).
A simple Palladium Filament or Diode can achieve the same thing.
Palladium's Affinity for Hydrogen separates the Hydrogen from the water molecule and the Heated Palladium Filament lets go of the absorbed Hydrogen because when the Palladium is heated to a certain temperature the bond between the Hydrogen and the Palladium becomes weaker thus liberating the Hydrogen for Chemical reactions with the Oxygen that was also liberated in the chemical reaction, Palladium is a catalyst to water and absorbs Hydrogen freely.
The Reaction of Palladium and Hydrogen peroxide can be very violent especially of high grade H202 of greater than 30 to 70% by volume, 90% H202 is very explosive when coming in contact with Palladium.
however H2O2 also reacts with Silver and is cheaper than Palladium so they choose Silver as the catalyst instead of Pd.
taking advantage of an elements affinity can be interesting to say the least but can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
from the diagram below I see they are using Sodium in the process, is there a detailed explanation of the entire reaction process?
I have 2 years of chemistry so it shouldn't be hard to understand and replicated the process.

I started looking at historical information concerning the
Walther hydrogen peroxide engine. I noticed that concentrated
H2O2 was explosively unstable. It would explode by itself if fuel
lines were not 100% straight ie. as in bent around right angles.
Futher someone said this was due to *cavitation*.
Well, where there is cavitation and natural hydrogen, there is CF cold
fusion of the natural hydrogen isotope deuterium. Scientists tend to use
fully deuteriated systems as "DOOD" in their experiments. Using
natural isotopic ratios reduces the the rate of CF to lower levels but
it is still there.
My belief is that the Blacklight process is actually producing it's energy
via CF possibly during the "fuel" production process and then releasing
it later. This would be easily tested by varying the amount of deuterium
available to the process.

Today's news :
http://nextbigfuture.com/2009/08/rowan-university-publishes-further.html
Operating power systems using BLP’s chemistry, Rowan University professors have reported a net energy gain of up to 6.5 times the maximum energy potential of the materials in the system 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, and Dr. Peter Jansson P.E., Associate Professor of Engineering said, “In independent tests conducted over the past three months involving 10 solid fuels made by us from commercially-available chemicals, our team of engineering and chemistry professors, staff, and students at Rowan University has independently and consistently generated energy in excesses ranging from 1.2 times to 6.5 times the maximum theoretical heat available through known chemical reactions.â€
.....
Moreover, BLP scientists were able to regenerate the fuel by simply applying heat.
More info and pdf's on above link.
They left out an important detail - how much heat is needed to regenerate the fuel ???
More or equal to the amount produced and you have just a fancy way to produce thermal energy, and if less heat required then you have true overunity.....
There is a energy called Wigner Lattice Energy that gets released
upon heating of a metal, that is built up during a pre-processing
phase. This is what they may be seeing in the process involving
sealing a metal fuel into a canister. So, yes, they need to look at
the energy involved in the full fuel cycle before they claim anything.
I have yet to see any "smoking gun" experiments for the hydrino
after following blacklight for several years. But CF cold fusion
seems to be found where it is looked for, once it's parameters
are known.
:S:MarkSCoffman
I also suspect cold fusion in this case (if its not a hoax in first place).
I guess they are staying away from that word, it has a dirty image and TPTB panic when they hear it.
The power gain is very real but the theory is very wrong and people are looking at the gas atoms when they should be looking at the catalyst. Fractional states do not exist in 4D and the hydrino is “unphysical†but in the same way as the Twin Paradox from physics 101 is unphysical! The relativistic Klein Gordon equations and 4D proofs based on the energy equations by Naudts and Bourgoin point to these cavities as sources of "eqivalent" acceleration - tiny opposite polarity event horizons. I am convinced that the hydrino only exists relativistically and the entire controversy to date has been semantics. Both sides are correct it does not exist (in the same time frame) and it can provide excess heat, In any case the validation by Rowan now confirm the mechanism exists and therefore the theory becomes even more important from the perspective of corporate intellectual properties and optimizing the effect. I think the Haisch â€" Moddel patent has the advantage here for closed loop control because Mill’s use of a skeletal catalyst instead of “feed through†array makes the reaction much less likely to escape the cascade. If it can’t escape it must continue to oscillate between monatomic and molecular states until it combusts or destroys the parallel plate geometry. My “relative proposal†is based on the work of others listed below:
Randell Mills’ founder of Black Light Power claims a fractional quantum state of hydrogen he coins "hydrino" which is formed inside skeletal catalyst Rayney nickel and has up to 137 fractional quantum states. The hydrino is claimed to produce much more heat energy than chemistry can explain. This claim is still disputed by the mainstream but on August 12, 2009 Rowan University faculty and staff announced validation using their own materials and simplified method which promises to expedite replications.
In 2005 a math paper by Jan Naudts contends that fractional quantum state argument against hydrino state overlooks relativistic solutions. This bolsters claim by Randell Mills that disassociated hydrogen diffused into skeletal catalyst can release excess heat. I will attempt to make the case that similar to the “Twin Paradox†in Physics 101. Hydrogen outside the cavity has equivalent motion relative to the shielded hydrogen inside the cavity. This results in hydrogen exiting the cavity older than hydrogen which did not diffuse through the cavity. Hydrogen inside the cavity performs many more reactions through time dilation and Lorentz contraction then could be performed outside the cavity for the time period the hydrogen was inside.
In 2007 Ronald Bourgoin published a paper that showed the general wave equation predicts exactly the 137 inverse principal quantum levels claimed by Mills. His equations use a 4D coordinate system suggesting the orbital could appear to collapse spatially below the Bohr radius because the “displacement†to the nucleus is partially converted to the time axis. The fractional quantum radius only exists from our 3D perspective outside the cavity observing the hydrino inside. The Bourgoin solutions suggest Mills hydrino only exists relative to an observer outside the Casimir cavity. Inside the cavity hydrogen atoms are unaware the t coordinate of their (X, Y, Z, t) position has changed in the same way that the earth bound twin is unaware of his multiple second per second existence relative to the twin approaching an event horizon (C through equivalence). Only when the still young twin returns to earth or the now “old†hydrogen exits the cavity is the difference apparent.
Christian Beck and Michael Mackey publish papers, "Measurability of vacuum fluctuations and dark energy" and "Electromagnetic dark energy" relating virtual photons with frequency less than 2 THz are more gravitationally active than those above. Their claims are presently only theoretical awaiting experimental evidence. My theory hinges heavily on their as yet unperformed experiments to prove slower virtual photons are more gravitationally active. This would establish my premise that the ratio of slow to fast virtual photons reflect changes in space time such as an event horizon compared to deep space.
Thomas Prevenslik paper denying Casimir effect explains Casimir force instead through QED “up-conversionâ€, this method requires nature to up convert IR >> VUV per conservation of energy. If my relativistic theory is correct then all frequencies inside the cavity are up converted together through time dilation including the 2Thz virtual photons Beck proposes to be more gravitationally active. Similar to the Twin Paradox the entire spectrum inside the cavity “ages†at multiple seconds per second relative to outside the cavity. From our perspective this results in “relative†up conversion of all frequencies inside the cavity.
I posit the ratio of virtual photons ( >2 THz) / ( <2 THz) decreases approaching an event horizon to reflect Beck’s theory that slower virtual photons are more gravitationally active. The “up-conversion†in a Casimir cavity if relativistic would up convert all frequencies including virtual photons from our perspective outside the cavity, but the increased ratio of fast to slow virtual photons is now in the opposite direction creating a gravity “Hill†or lack of gravitationally active virtual photons as opposed to a gravity “Wellâ€. This effect would be Omni directional in normal matter and quickly average out but in Casimir plates is directional and sums to create very local differentials where the shielded areas can be concentrated between two plates. These gravitational hills then see the normal space outside the cavity as down hill from their perspective just as we see an event horizon. The stage is now set for equivalence without the astronomical distances or crushing gravity of an event horizon. Although flat space doesn’t have the resistance to time flow of an event horizon it does still have a certain default fraction thereof, the shielded hydrogen inside the cavity however only experiences a small fraction of this default value based on Casimir geometry resulting in equivalent acceleration between hydrogen inside the cavity vs. outside. This has the unlikely consequence of time dilation and Lorentz contraction occurring to hydrogen inside the cavity relative to outside the cavity. The correct choice of material and geometry (Rayney nickel) can then act as a membrane to preferentially scale only the monatomic gas (Mills and Moddel) into what appears from our perspective to be increasingly smaller geometry where molecular gas can not follow, Then if these fractional atoms form a fractional molecule they become trapped just like the molecular gas left behind at the entrance when the atoms started diffusing into the increasingly smaller geometry of the cavity walls. The difference is that these fractional molecules that don’t even perceive themselves as fractional are trapped inside the membrane and when diffused by gas law will have their molecular bond broken by the confinement restoring monatomic energy levels and allowing the atoms to change to the new fractional value before finding another fractional atom to recombine into a different fractional molecule and give off the freely acquired energy as a photon. The cycle then cascades until the gas escapes or the heat destroys the cavity.

Let´s see if it´s not one more technology that won´t work in a real world. ???
Well, certainly the "practicality" is yet to be fully pursued; with either LENR or with the Blacklight tech.
The good news is that the attention, and intention to move forward, is finally there... Dr. Eugene Mallove would have been very pleased to see it i believe.
But when you examine the question of "practicality" with new techs, i guess we could say the Wright Brothers "failed"... Because they never produced an airliner that could make a significant profit carrying freight or passengers.
But perhaps the Glenn Curtiss' of the world can "steal" these concepts and make them better ;)
I added the following paragraph after discovering a paper supporting my claims.
http://www.byzipp.com/energy/excessHeat.htm
The theory that Casimir cavities represent an abrupt equivalence boundary is not new, In 2002 a paper "Vacuum fluctuation force on a rigid Casimir cavity in a gravitational field" by Italian researchers Enrico Calloni, Luciano Di Fiore, Giampiero Esposito, Leopoldo Milano, Luigi Rosa discusses the possibility of verifying the equivalence principle for the zero-point energy of quantum electrodynamics, by evaluating the force, produced by vacuum fluctuations, acting on a rigid Casimir cavity in a weak gravitational field. The resulting force has opposite direction with respect to the gravitational acceleration, Their proposal indicates equivalent acceleration outside the cavity relative to inside the cavity. This differential between inside and outside the cavity creates the relativistic perception of frequency up conversion. From the perspective of the Beck - Mackey work, the ratio of fast to slow virtual photons appears to increase and has fewer gravitationally active virtual photons. One could also simply consider this duty factor -if time inside the cavity executes at multiple seconds per second from our perspective then the earths gravity at 9.8m/s^2 is divided down by the same factor.
