What happens in the Blacklight power device is rather simple. A mechanical auger system delivers the hydrino based fuel over to a pair of rollers charged with a very high amperage at low voltage. The current, reported to be 15,000 amperes at only 5 volts then sets off the fuel triggering the reaction. The reaction lasts some 0.5 ms producing a very brilliant light that is white. The reaction appears to form a plasma as the source of the light. The experiments are showing up to 500-700 joules of energy released in one half millisecond. As the plasma is very small the numbers are incredible, power density would be 100 billion watts per liter in the form of light. The optical power at 100% duty cycle corresponds to an optical power of 1 MW. Against that is the energy to achieve ignition is about 5 joules. With an ignition frequency of 2000 Hz at 100% duty cycle the average ignition power is 5 joules X 2000 Hz = 10 kW. The overall power balance is 10 kW input and 1 MW light output that could be converted to as much as 400 kW electrical output for a 40:1 ratio. With available concentrator solar cells that operate at 40% efficiency with sunlight a self-running system could be achievable with the current performance. Blacklight is reported to have signed contracts with three engineering companies to design and fabricate a generator capable of outputting scalable electrical output in the range of 250 kW to 10 MW comprising modular, scalable components of an optical distribution system and photovoltaic cell stack. Dr Mills has disclosed that 99% of the reaction’s energy comes as light with the rest seen as pressure. Obviously there is an increase in the air pressure.
