As I did with the now infamous Bitcoin thread back in 2011, I am here to make another prophecy that could be potentially lucrative. Bitcoin was worth $20 bucks a coin when I made my original post. Today it's worth around $900.

I'm here to let you know that free energy generators will be hitting the market within a year, with mass production ramping up rapidly within two years. If you're able to short energy sector stocks and hold the position long term, you will definitely make your money back.

I did a full article on the company doing it here, but I'll summarize the main points below.

The "essentially free" energy generator was created by a company called Brilliant Light Power (BrLP), that was founded by Dr. Randell Mills, a Harvard trained medical doctor.

In basic terms, the generator works by reacting a very tiny amount of hydrogen with a silver catalyst and then exposing that reaction to an electrical discharge. When the hydrogen, silver and electrical discharge combine, the hydrogen atoms shrink, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Using Mills process, a gallon of water has the same energy potential of around 2000 gallons of gasoline. The amount of hydrogen needed is so small that the generator can pull the hydrogen it needs from water in the surrounding air. This enormous release of energy is then used to basically form the filament of a carbon light bulb.

The carbon light bulb glows so brightly from the heat that it reaches the equivalent brightness of over 2000 suns, with the potential to go even higher in the future. The light bulb is surrounded by an array of special solar cells called concentrator solar cells that are able to harness the energy from this enormously bright light source. These special solar cells already exist and are in use in solar farms around the world today.

BrLP already has the “light bulb” portion of this generator fully prototyped and working. Obviously that’s the hard part since the rest of the parts for the generator already exist from off-the-shelf suppliers. Mills is projecting production units to be ready for delivery by the second half of 2017, with a fully prototyped working generator ready for field testing by the first half of 2017. Once Mills rolls out that first generator, be prepared for a monumental media **** storm to hit the public.

Now I'm sure many of you will scream, "IT'S A SCAM - THEY'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS!!!!!1111!! LSKDJFLSKDJFJ"

Don't be fooled by the naysayers who haven't done their homework like I have. They were wrong about Bitcoin and they are most certainly wrong about this as well.

You can watch a full public demo of the reactor here:

I’ve been following BLP closely for nearly a decade now. I’m convinced Mills is the real deal. Contrary to what Forbes claims, numerous independent labs have verified his claims. He’s obtained funding from some of the wealthiest people on the planet, and he’s got a highly skilled team of engineers backing him. He doesn’t need any more investment capital so he’s got no reason to lie. Several university labs and independent investigators have replicated and validated Mills work:

Rowan University’s report
Rowan University’s report II
UNC Asheville’s report
University of Illinois report

It’s also worth taking a look at Brilliant Light’s board of directors. These people don’t strike me as the type of people who are willing to throw their lives away over fraud charges:

H. McIntyre Gardner’s profile from Bloomberg:
  • Chairman of Spirit Airlines
  • Chairman of Merrill Lynch Bank USA
  • Chairman of Merrill Lynch Life Insurance Company and Transamerica Advisors Life Insurance Company of New York
  • Director of Isola Group, SARL
  • President of the Board of Trustees at the Princeton Charter School

James E. Canty J.D.’s profile from Bloomberg:
  • President and General Counsel at Clough Capital Partners
  • Associate General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, and Director of Investor Relations at Converse Inc.
  • Corporate and Securities Lawyer at Goldstein & Manello
  • Certified Public Accountant at KPMG

John J. Gillen’s profile from Bloomberg:
  • Global Director of Finance at Towers Perrin
  • Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Dayton Power and Light Co.
  • Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers
  • Member of the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Jeremy Hux’s article from Yahoo Finance:
  • Managing director and global head of clean technology investment banking for Credit Suisse
  • President of HCP Advisors
  • Head of West Coast Clean Technology for Morgan Stanley

Barbara A. Nabial’s profile from Bloomberg:
  • Senior Audit Manager with Deloitte & Touche

And let’s not forget Mills, who has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Franklin & Marshall College, and a Doctor of Medicine Degree from Harvard Medical School. He also did graduate engineering coursework at MIT.

If you’d like to learn more about the backstory to Mills incredible scientific achievement, a book on the subject was recently released by one of his former employees.

BrLP has contracted with Columbia Tech to have them do the prototype and manufacturing workups. CT’s Chief Technology Officer is projecting initial field testing of prototype units to take place in 6 months, with pilot commercial units available 6 months after initial field testing completes. Phase 1A design began on November 1st.

Masimo Semiconductor is responsible for creating the commercial photovoltaic converter comprising a denser receiver array of concentrator multijunction photovoltaic cells that will wrap around the black-body light source. Masimo’s Head of Business Development is projecting the photovoltaic array to be ready for the prototype field tests on time. They expect delivery of the first photovoltaic array on Jan 13. So perhaps a fully working prototype generator will be wheeled out for a public demo sometime in the near future.

You can see the presentations from the reps from Masimo and CT, along with several other important players here:

I believe BrLP has dozens, if not hundreds of patents filed. So you might need to be more specific.

I don't know enough about it to be more specific. What did you have in mind when you were talking about "doing the homework?"

Maybe I could just do a patent search under whatever BrLP stands for?
 
It's true that they haven't been saying the same thing for ten years. It's far longer than that.

I wonder if the brightness of 2000 suns might be a bit optimistic.

Maybe they are very small suns?

ETA: I searched the patent database for Randell L. Mills as inventor or applicant and didn't find anything.

ETA2: Wiki has this: A 2000 patent based on its hydrino-related technology[39][40] was later withdrawn by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) due to contradictions with known physics laws and other concerns about the viability of the described processes, citing Park and others.[37]

A column by Robert L. Park[37][41] and an outside query by an unknown person[42] prompted Group Director Esther Kepplinger of the USPTO to review this new patent herself. Kepplinger said that her "main concern was the proposition that the applicant was claiming the electron going to a lower orbital in a fashion that I knew was contrary to the known laws of physics and chemistry", and that the patent appeared to involve cold fusion and perpetual motion.[41] Kepplinger contacted another Director, Robert Spar, who also expressed doubts on the patentability of the patent application. This caused the USPTO to withdraw from issue the patent application before it was granted and re-open it for review, and to withdraw four related applications, including one for a hydrino power plant.


So now I do want to know if there are any patents issued. Any at all.

That's actually a conservative estimate. They can easily go up to 10,000 suns power. Peak power output during a test shot of the reactor was 5 million watts, with a sustained output of over a million watts.
 
I don't know if it's a scam, but it is baloney. The proposed fundamental mechanism is nonsense, and the description of the "light bulb" is gibberish. As for the appeal to authority by listing resumes, lots of intelligent people have been fooled by free energy scams and free energy sincerely-believed voodoo science.

No, it will not work, and this bunch will not produce a working model this year, nor any other year.

Well, you can listen to this guy, or you can see it run with your own two eyes. The reactor can achieve a self-sustaining mode when the silver vapor pressure becomes adequate. Meaning you can shut off all external power to the reactor and the reaction will sustain itself. Here's a video looking into the reactor demonstrating this effect:

Nope. The proposed basic mechanism is nonsense. I can watch lots of YouTube videos that purport to show things that aren't actually what the posters claim; this is no different.

Well, it's obviously not nonsense given that Mills is producing 5 million watt bursts of energy in a space the size of a coffee cup.

This is no longer a debate about theory. This is a fully working prototype that's dumping out enough power to VAPORIZE 1/4" thick tungsten rods within seconds. No power source known to man is capable of doing that.
 
Here's the primary reactor patent, but there are many more

Thanks. That looks like a Chinese patent, but further research on my part unearthed a US patent application (which I gather was subsequently rejected). It has more than 300 claims.

I'm starting to see why people aren't doing the homework - it's a lot of homework!

Anyhow, here's the one I found: https://www.google.com.na/patents/US20060233699
 
I hope you're right, but it seems very unlikely. Mills seems to have been making the same claims since at least 1991, has received tens of millions of funding in that time, but also appears to have failed to ever produce any actual product.
The basic hypothesis is that what was believed to be the ground state of a hydrogen atom is not actually the ground state, so you can still extract energy from it.
I haven't managed to find anything online to support this notion, I'm not a physicist of course, but it's clear that lots of notable physicists have dismissed the concept as fundamentally flawed. It appears to be a relic from the Cold Fusion idea's of the 70's and 80's and despite being talked about for decades Mills seems to be the only person who believes it.
I really hope that you're right, but he has made the same claims over and over again, that he's going to produce something in the next year, then the next year etc for the last 25 years, with nothing to show for it.
I'd suggest that this isn't worth paying attention to until he actually manages to produce something commercially viable.
 
The last video is interesting, in that it is entirely uninformative. Something is shown, but it's your guess what.

It's not uncommon for very rich investors to throw some money into highly speculative and unlikely ventures. Being rich and influential does not prevent you from being misled, but aside from that, if you have enormous amounts of money, the risk-reward ratio is different. Even if the likelihood of success is tiny, and the likelihood of waste is nearly certain, it's no real risk at all, the more so if losses can eventually be deducted from taxes. An impressive list of investors is proof of very little.

So far what we have (or what I see, not willing to waste hours on those videos) is a presumed scheme whereby a device generates incredibly large amounts of electricity which are then used to light a light bulb which does not, apparently, yet exist, so the light, minus the enormous amount of heat, can be used to run solar panels, which themselves, unless there's some new and undocumented technology involved, have an energy efficiency well below 50 percent. Something about that scheme seems odd.

Did you try to read the text of the cited patent? It is ungrammatical gibberish. I suppose it might have been translated from the Chinese, but if the inventor was not Chinese, why is it not checked for intelligibility? That also seems a little odd.
 
Nope. The proposed basic mechanism is nonsense. I can watch lots of YouTube videos that purport to show things that aren't actually what the posters claim; this is no different.
This. In fact Mills's claims are an out-and-out fraud, a holdover from the cold fusion nonsense of more than 25 years ago and have been thoroughly debunked. It's utter rubbish.

Yep, like why not plug it straight into something that needs electricity, why the extra step that from the description would just reduce the amount of energy you'd get out of the generator.
