My take on BLP strategy. The publication of reports of experiments and
theory lets all see the R&D, especially the patent department, a full
log of reduction to practice over many years. In the companion paper
"Commercializable..."you will find the approach is somewhat different
from the research effects. There will be a flood of imitators and BLP
has to protect its investors with strong patents. I expect some royal
battles to establish patent rights.
The performance of the solid fuel is spectacular, at 50 kW and rising.
Reconstituting the fuel requires only standard chemistry, but design
of the automatic proces will be interesting.
Question from a member of the peanut gallery (who has not read the book
so you can just blow me off on this on the grounds that I haven't done
my homework):
Does reconstituting the fuel imply "reflating" the hydrinos? And in
that case, does it require putting back the energy you got out to start
with?
Alternatively, does the process generate barrels of hydrinos as "ash"?
I've felt confused about this point ever since I first read about
hydrogen "deflation" catalysis as an energy source.
