First day of Summer, 2018, how soon will these long promised Free Energy Generators be shipping?
Since it's summer, the preferred implementation as a space heater won't be needed for another three months at least. Come September it will turn out that the heat exchange technology has proved so successful that a more profitable product will be an air conditioning unit, which will be expected to hit the shops round about next May.
In the southern hemisphere, of course, the laws of physics are different, so they're working on the air conditioner right now.

The results are fantastic and all run at independent laboratories. We are working on another exciting spectroscopy. When finished we will host validators.

Why would you need validators if you have fantastic results from independent labs?
Aren't the "fantastic results from independent labs" all you need?
What on earth would be "fantastic results"?

Hi Markie,Some of the validators may be from the independent labs and report. Or, validators will observe experiments at BLP which produce results that are congruent to what the other labs measured.
What can a lab do? They will analyze a substance and say the same old thing: It has such and such properties that they have not observed before and they don't know what could be producing this.
Only Mills and this theory have the key to provide the fitting answers.
Hi Markie,
You've been a good sport in this thread. It is difficult to forge ahead when you are a party of one surrounded by people that disagree with you. And you are right, in a sense, that nobody in this thread can know that Mills theories are wrong or that Mills's gadgets don't work.
But the level of technical expertise by some of the people responding to your posts seems to have been quite high and they made a pretty strong case that there is nothing to Mills's claims.
And, of course, just the simple fact that this has gone on year after year with each year bringing on a new round of claims about imminent products or verification certainly suggests something is not right with BLP.
With regard to the mention of validators in your post: This is not how scientific discoveries are usually validated. In the norm there is no equivocation about the independence of the validators. They use there own materials in their own labs and they don't have NDA's in place to prevent them from publishing negative results. People that visit your lab and sign NDA's are not independent validators in any way regardless of what Mills wants to claim.
Throughout the years Mills has made all sorts of claims including claims about super batteries and super paint. If these products were real all Mills has to do is provide them to independent laboratories or laboratories owned by potential licensees and Mills will be flooded with money if his claims make it through this process.
Similarly all he needs to do is provide a sample of material that has unique properties because it contains hydrinos to an independent lab and have the unique properties verified and his fame and wealth are assured
He hasn't done either and I don't think there is any record of him trying to do anything like that.
Everybody else in this thread thinks that is because Mills is full of crap. You, for the moment, seem to think there is some other reason. Do you have a time frame in mind when you might come to the same conclusion as everybody else in this thread if nothing of substance materializes from the current round to Mills's claims? Are you willing to wait through another round of claims?
Through the years Mills has attempted perhaps 5 distinct methods of coaxing hydrogen to drop to a lower energy state in a way that would be continuous and of sufficient power density. No luck so far.
Right you are, my apologies. For a brief while at the very beginning of the Suncell type of reaction Mills did consider MHD to harness the energy of moving ions from the energetic explosion. Then he changed track and went to photovoltaics because with further analysis he realized most of the energy release was photonic, not kinetic. (I talked about this in an earlier post but had a memory lapse.) Now he's going back to MHD, but in a different way.
Or is "10 million times the power density of fire" inadequate for commercial power generation? If so, the conventional oil and coal plants need desperately to be informed of this fact.
markie;12337523 Do tech companies like Samsung have NDA's for people visiting their labs? Sure. Nothing nefarious about that. On the flip side of a NDA said:NDA's are used all the time. However Mills attempts to use comments by people that are under NDA's that have toured his lab or seen one of his demos as corroboration of his claims. My point is that these kind of comments would be of little probative value with regards to the validity of anyhbody's claims. but with regard to Mills they are completely useless. He has been making false claims for twenty years or more. The only thing that could provide useful evidence is support for his theories by credible sources or actual, unequivocal independent test results. The rest is just noise at this point.
I don't think any of his theories will be tested again or commented on again by credible sources unless he succeeds in producing credibly verified test results. I don't think he'll succeed in getting new funding unless he succeeds in producing credibly verified test results. The situation is a bit like what went on with Tesla at the end of his career. He couldn't produce credibly verified results and people stopped funding him but even today there are people that think that Tesla produced amazing inventions that lie undiscovered because he didn't have the funds to bring them to fruition.
I have found *no* strong technical case against Mills' claims in the posts here. There is RC and his protests that Mills is not properly honouring quantum theory. There is RBF who has metal oxidation as his mantra.
This is naive. A lab can analyze a compound, see unusual results, and say "I dunno". It's not "OMG, we haven't seen this before, this is front page news."
markie, it is sometimes difficult to avoid criticizing you in immoderate terms. Let's just say that the previous statement is one you should be ashamed of.
First, what in the world does power density have to do with anything? Oh sure, for vehicle power it's important, and particularly for aircraft it can be critical. For fixed plants, however, it is largely irrelevant.
Second, Mills has specifically touted his process as having extraordinary power densities. Remember "10 MW in one square foot"? It's been less than a month since I pointed out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvcCzttXr5k, where Mills states that the power density of his process is "10 million times that of fire".
At that time you stated,
Is there a mention there of the low power density? Yes? No?
Ah, that's no, then. Instead, less than a month ago you stated that the problem with the early Suncell process was that the energy release was "photonic, not kinetic". There is no hint that the process had insufficient power density.
Or is "10 million times the power density of fire" inadequate for commercial power generation? If so, the conventional oil and coal plants need desperately to be informed of this fact.
Do you need more? From the same interview he states that his process produces power levels of "billions of watts per liter".
Furthermore, the process described at the time (Jan 2014) was clearly understood to be non-continuous, yet this presented no problems to Mills. So your assertion that Mills's processes foundered on the need for continuity and high power density is clearly, shall we say, non-operational.
Reality Check consistently misuses the "l" word. It seems appropriate in this case.
Or would you care to retract or modify your statement?
NDA's are used all the time. However Mills attempts to use comments by people that are under NDA's that have toured his lab or seen one of his demos as corroboration of his claims.
