Most genius engineers don’t want to meet all the regulations and requirements necessary, endure all the heartache, feel all the pain necessary to get a product to a buyer.There are few Bill Gates and Steve Jobs in this world.

Re: [Vo]:BLP picks up another 11 M from investors
Raising another $11m is an impressive milestone for BLP. But we've seen this before - every few years BLP makes big claims, puts on a demo, does a press release, raises money and then vanishes for a few years until more money is needed. I do wonder how much due diligence these investors did? Exhibit A: October 25, 1992 "We're getting 10 times the power out relative to power going in--every hour, every day, week after week." Mills says to expect a "major announcement" around year end that his confidants predict may include the unveiling of a prototype 10-kilowatt electrical generator. That's back when BLP was known as HydroCatalysis Corp, and was hot on the heels of Pons and Fleischmann! Exhbit B: May 28, 2008 BlackLight Power, Inc. today announced the successful testing of a new energy source. The company has successfully developed a prototype power system generating 50,000 watts of thermal power on demand. Incorporating existing industry knowledge in chemical and power engineering, BlackLight Power (BLP) is pursuing the immediate design and engineering of central power plants utilizing the BlackLight Process. BLP plans on developing pilot plants with architecture and engineering firms with anticipated delivery in approximately 12 to 18 months. For twenty two years, it's been the same cycle of claim, hype then silence. What I can't understand is where BLP is planning to spend the $11m? Their business summary claims "seventeen employees and eight consultants wherein the majority of employees and consultants are scientists and engineers" But LinkedIn lists only Dr Mills, VP Bill Good, two chemical technicians and two executive assistants as employees of BLP. At least two of their senior research scientists left in the last few years according to their profiles. The other possibility perhaps is the other eleven BLP employees are simply too embarassed to list BLP on their LinkedIn profiles?

Re: [Vo]:Mill's theory behind the hydrino
The Hydrino Study Group was a group of Mills supporters who spent many years trying to understand his math and eventually closed down without reaching any sort of resolution (except converting most of them to skeptics). BLP spun out a separate company to license Mills revolutionary molecular modelling software (http://www.millsian.com/) but that also closed down. And how is Mills doing with the cure for cancer that he published in 1988? (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v336/n6201/abs/336787a0.html) BLP is the scientific equivalent of the Oak Island Money Pit. On Thursday, January 23, 2014 8:05 AM, Stefan Israelsson Tampe wrote: Hi all, After skimming Mill's book about how he treats the atom physics, I am pretty amazed. Folks, his theory is really accurate, and we should not dismiss it just because of the hydrino prediction. He actually calculates the g factor to the same level as QED, but he indicates it took two decades of fiddling with the QED equations to reach that level of accuracy. So the Math is as right as what we can get by using ordinary QED/QM but Mill's math is much more elegant. One hydrino state is predicted by QED too, but the spinnors are not integrable in QED although probably by combining them lead to an acceptable solution. Also the other states may as well be there but it's probably hard to find them because of the convoluted math. Also we should expect that these hydrino states have as well non integrable spinors. The interesting thing to understand now is what paths the QM/Mill's theory allow to go from a normal state to a hydrino state. In a sense it is degenerate and it looks like these states are locked. In a sense atoms must interact strongly e.g. get really close together and act in a precise way in order to mediate the forming of a hydrino. It is not unlikly that the conditions are very special and rarely happens in normal physics/chemistry. In a sense it's crazy how people treat his work all over the intertubes. They say that his results are wacko. It could be that the math is correct but there is a some extra conditions for the solutions to be physical, that is missing that relates to the integrability conditions for the spinors. Also if there any serious issues with his math I would like to know, else he deserves respect, with or without the hydrino. /Stefan

[Vo]:The end of EESTOR?
After many years, it looks like the EESTOR supercap fiasco is finally coming to the bitter end. Zenn just announced their third set of independent test results, and it is finally confirmed that the EESU doesn't work, as some have suspected all along. http://www.4-traders.com/ZENN-MOTOR-CO-INC-6499102/news/ZENN-Motor-Company-Announces-Testing-Update-17597220/ "Evans has reported that it has developed testing procedures that measure energy-in and energy-out. It has tested the procedures on known capacitors to verify reliability and accuracy of the tests. Based on these tests, Evans has advised that the EESU layers tested did not show any meaningful levels of energy discharge (energy-out)." For anyone who has followed this fiasco over the years, it's an incredible example of inventor self-deception and lack of due diligence, coupled with lax Canadian markets which make it easy for predatory 'pump and dump' schemes. Despite zero validation, the inventor was already talking up production lines back in 2007, and there was many millions of dollars of investment from both venture capital and the public markets (via Zenn), plus the involvement of credible companies like Lockheed Martin, GM etc. Now, a decade after the 'discovery' of the EESU, Zenn is out of money, and their stock was halted trading this morning with the release of this news. EEstor themselves auctioned off most of their production line equipment on eBay earlier this year. It shows that all the wild claims, wishful thinking and money in the world can't change the laws of physics. There are several posters on TheEEstory.com who ignored the skeptics and invested their savings in Zenn, and will be left holding the bag in the end. AF

Jones analysis is essentially correct. It's very difficult to short Canadian pump and dump stocks. Most brokerages will not accept short orders for penny stocks. And in general, markets can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent. It doesn't matter if the stock crashes after you've already had to cover a margin call. On the larger topic, fraud in Canadian OTC/"wildcat" markets is rife, and the penalties are few. Canadian exchanges would be the ideal location for a fraudulent cold fusion enterprise, and the level of corporate disclosure and due diligence is not comparable to US exchanges. I doubt we will get to see many details of Defkalion's technology and customers, and I also highly doubt that their roadshow includes any actual technology demonstration beyond a Powerpoint deck. BRE-X is the most famous example of a Canadian stock fraud- a $6 billion mining company built entirely on elaborate faked test results. After the stock crashed, the RCMP eventually dropped all charges and other civil cases failed, so nobody went to jail over it. The founder was tracked down years later in the Bahamas by armed thugs and died shortly afterwards. It took well over a decade for the entire BRE-X story to play out.

How could anyone be surprised that there is negativity towards Sterling's capers? As you pointed out, this is exactly the same as countless free energy scams Sterling has been involved with. The South African trip, Perendev, Mylow, Intelligentry, Green Power - you name it, Sterling's fallen for it. I've been reading his site for years and just when I think Sterling couldn't be fooled again, he is. Sterling raised ~$4000 for his supporters for this trip, with talk of extended videos and validations, and some 'investigative journalism' of the amazing Yildiz magnet motor that will usher in the new age of free energy. Instead all we get is weak excuses and useless videos, plus a motor that barely works powering a 30 watt fan for a few hours. This is the second time Sterling has done this recently, with his South African trip coming to mind as a similar boondoggle where he raises money then absolutely fails to deliver. It's not science or journalism - it's more akin to uncritical fandom for free energy. As this point, Sterling is an increasingly depressing example of the perils of magical thinking, which is unfortunately so common. His continual boosterism has crossed the line from an interest to a pathological obsession. As Sterling's personal finances teeter closer to bankruptcy (he posts them on the site), he appears to be willing to do and say anything to promote the illusion of free energy just around the corner. Apart from his fervent belief in the supernatural (e.g. he believed due to numerology he would be president in 2004 - see http://www.greaterthings.com/Word-Number/People/SDA_President_04), he has also had several emotional breakdowns on PES video's recently, and it saddens me to see he is unable to put aside his obsessions and realize that he really needs professional help at this point. His BS filter is so broken that he doesn't appear to do any research at all on the schemes he promotes, nor does he follow up with previous schemes. A recent example is the Nigerian inventor Gabriel Ohiochioya Obadan and his Cogar 'reactor' posted last week. The first hit on Google for that name is a recent SEC document illustrating the inventors involvement in a $1m scam, but Sterling (a) didn't do the research and (b) removed comments pointing this out on his blog. Extremely troubling. An older example is the 'sponsorship' of PESwiki by Green Power/Michael Spitzauer several years ago, where Sterling was directly paid by one of these schemes. Although there is a vague warning now on the PESwiki page for Green Power, Sterling never mentioned that Spitzauer had a previous history of fraud and deception (e.g. a six year prison sentence in Austria in 1992 for fraud, and another $1m in fraud in Seattle as shown in this 1997 article http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970929&slug=2563209) and Green Power Inc ended up bankrupt in 2011 (http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/01/17/2438485/port-of-pasco-to-sell-parts-from.html). Spitzauer raised $20m for Green Power, much of which came from unsophisticated 'Mom and Pop' investors in rural Washington, and Sterling directly benefited from the proceeds. As for Yildiz and his 'motor', he's been working this story for 33 years allegedly. The trail of broken promises looks exactly like every other similar story on PESwiki, and will end the same way.

That skepticism could be related to the 5 or 6 other similar claims on Sterling Allan's PESN site which show signs of scam or trickery, but what is specific problem with this one ? ... A noted professor (Duarte) has been allowed to check for hidden batteries or motor - and says there is no trickery. Magnetic fields store energy, not a lot of energy compared to chemical, but it takes energy to align magnetic polarities and this amounts to stored spin-energy. I’m not sure that the energy density of a magnet can be compared to chemical energy from a battery in a meaningful way - yet it is still stored energy. If the magnetic field itself can used for "fuel" in the sense of energy extraction, and this demo indicates that it can – then when we recognize that it is notably NOT a heat engine, we can rationalize the apparent low energy density. If the operation is not covered by the laws of thermodynamics, then the work which was done could simply have been done in more efficient manner, to wit: magnetic spin going to a "spin sink" which is torque, avoiding heat as the intermediary. Most chemical reactions, as in a battery - operate as heat engines. Yildiz's motor produces almost no heat (only friction at the bearings). But the system could still be conservative in the context of another kind of
