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.
============================
All questions are legitimate, this is new and heady stuff.
The short answer is that there is a reaction chamber in which the solid fuel
is activated, heat released, etc. There is another chamber where standard
chemical reactions recreate the solid fuel, using 'new' hydrogen and reusing
the 'catalyst' parts. Published evidence suggests that these reactions have
been done in batch mode using the usual chemistry lab ware. The next step
forward is standard chemical engineering, automating the process so the
reactor is 'stoked' continuously. For this task, BLP will probably turn to
architectural and engineering firms who can do the necessary engineeing on
an industrial and global scale. The exotic chemistry is only in the
activation of the solid fuel and the following BLP reactions.
The BLP reactions can have several outcomes. There can be gaseous hydrino
molecules, smaller that H2, not reactive, easily permeating many containers,
and escaping to the stratosphere like ordinary H2. There can be hydrino
hydrides which can enter into a chemical compounds, creating whole new
classes of chemicals. Berfore chemists can invest in new products, there has
to be tons of hydrino "ash" as a source. Thus there will be compelling
reasons for power reactors to produce hydrino hydride 'ash' for collection
and sale to new chemical industries. How's that for a win-win situation?
One attractive possibility is a hyper battery with a high terminal volage
and unprecedented energy storage capacity.
Hydrinos can catalyze other hydrinos. Energy must be conserved, so one
hydrino will to a lower state, the other to an upper state, with a release
of UV and kinetic energy. Development of these pathways will keep lots of
people busy for a long time.
The world is on a new path, with a bright future. Enjoy the show.
