From Mike Carrell:
IMHO the solid fuel reactor is the closest to commercial
viability of anything so far posted by BLP. BLP usually
can back up such posts by experimental work, as stated.
The fact that critical details are glossed over I interpret
as evidence of ongoing patent application negotiations. The
claimed evolution of H and catalyst from heating the solid
fuel could enable high energy density in the reactor. In
the animation, an end product of KH(1/4) is mentioned.
This implies a very energetic reaction which is claimed to
enable regeneration of the fuel, electrolysis of water, and
operation of a heat cycle engine to produce useful external
work.
The patent issue is something else. BLP seeks fundamental
patents whose claims will read on all possible applications
to garner royalties for the BLP investors and partners.
...
Seeking fundamental patents involves the existence of
hydrinos. The resonant transfer penomenon is a natural
phenomenon, which cannot be patented. Thus BLP is faced
with the whole of "accepted physics" in trying to get
patents. And without a strong patent base, investors
and partners may not risk the development cycle.
Mike Carrell
Ok, I'm still a little confused on some of these points.
Why is it important for BLP to prove to the scientific community that
hydrinos exist, particularly if BLP's investors can finance the
building of a prototype that proves the point that a commercially
viable regenerative process can be manufactured.
"Proof to the scientific community" means acceptance by major journals of
experiments by world-class labs. Don't hold your breath. BLP has publised
papers on experiments, and commentary on known experiments, supporting the
physical existence of hydrinos, but the resident skeptics attribute these
results to error, etc. Same scenario as for LENR, different chartacters. The
real "proof of principle" is a working water engine -- and not just one in a
lab photo-op. You need several in a bulletproof demo -- or one tested in a
skeptic's lab. Even there the problem would be to make sure the demo is done
right and not sabotaged by the skecptic. Doing this means that BLP has to
solve a whole series of engineering problems which can be quite expensive.
There have been too many magical engines in the new energy field, witness
Joseph Newman through the years, and others. A "water engine" is itself
almost as refleively absurd as "cold fusion". However, a water engine in the
lobby of the US Patent Office or a court room would have a certain
persuasive power.
How does legitimizing
the existence of the hydrino theory help BLP's investors protect their
patents.
It means you *get* the patent. Correa got patents on his PAGD by inserting a
paragraph saying in effect that although the source of energy at present is
obscure, when understood it will be found to conform to known physics. What
he did not say is the corollary that a deep understanding of the PAGD
phenomenon might revolutionize physics. Mills has not chosen this course.
Instead he has produce a GUT which addresses many of the salient phenomena
of physics in an attempt to explain his discovery. This is the honorable
path and the most exposed and difficult.
Regardless of whether hydrinos exist as Dr. Mills claims or
not, couldn't a savvy competitor either way, just as easily, and just
like what happened in RCA, devise a "...circuit which walked
around..." BLP's patents leaving BLP high and dry? How does
legitimizing hydrinos make that possibility any less of an issue for
BLP?
High and dry is where you don't want to be. That's why you want a
fundamental patent. If hydrinos are produced in Nature, say the solar
corona, or like buckyballs, then you can't patent their existence, only a
means of utilization or production. A patent is basically a license to sue
an infringer to cease selling the product/device/service or pay royalties.
You can have a trade secret, like the flavoring of Coca-Cola, but can't save
the world with it. Patents are granted in exchange for teaching a art.
Patents expire. BLP's long term future depends on mastering know-how such
that the partners can make better products than anyone else.
This is such a smarmy issue, particularly since I gather there are a
number of alternative theories, some discussed extensively within
vortex, that elude to the existence of the hydrino species but with
very different characteristics, certainly not beholding to Dr. Mills
CQM theory. It still seems more important from my perspective to
simply develop a POC prototype that proves that BLP's investors were
on the right track all along, rather than trying to legitimize
hydrinos in the eyes of the scientific community. The latter effort
seems to me to be a massive waste of finite financial resources, and
is in real danger of failing, particularly if BLP can never gat a
single POC financed and demonstrated to a skeptical community.
You are quite right and such is probably why BLP has been very quiet these
past years. Their mode has always been to deal with significant CEOs and
their technical staffs in quiet conferences and demonstrations. Mills'
presentations to scientific conferences and publications establish
"reduction to practice" which establish priority and utility in a patent
fight, which may occur.
I assume I must be missing an important business strategy in my latest
machinations. I'm just worried that if they continue focusing on the
patent issue, BLP may never get their bird off the ground.
Mills is no fool, nor are his board of directors. He business strategy is
very different from Jed's concept -- but there could be a global scramble of
entrepreneurship when BLP becomes "real". Mills has to have his 'ducks in
order' for what might be a firestorm. The new solid fuel reactor is a
non-trivial anouncement.
