#1 how long before the gas companies buy this up and we never hear of it again?

#2 This is pretty interesting. It would be very easy to dismiss if they didn't have an impressive board and supposed results.

#3 Not only is blacklight wonderful for power but if you have a painting done on black velvet the blacklight makes it look so bitchin, duuuuuude.

#4 Impressive boards are there for impressing the rubes. It's bullshit, people. Haven't you ever seen a perpetual motion machine scam before?

#5 nah, but my wife seems to be in slow motion alot

#6 Ball bearings, people. Forget this BLP stuff. Everything is ball bearings these days.

#7 Mills explains that in this contraption, resembling a souped-up home furnace, water is electrically then catalytically broken down into atoms of oxygen and hydrogen. Potassium atoms are introduced as a gas into the very low-pressure hydrogen gas waiting inside the cell. Under specific conditions, the potassium acts as a catalyst to collapse hydrogen's electron orbit. The energy once used to maintain the higher orbit is released as ultra-violet light, Mills says.

Utter nonsense.

#8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randell_Mills

Hydrino theory was developed by physician Randell L. Mills as a new model of the hydrogen atom that posits the existence of orbital states for the electron of a hydrogen atom with enhanced binding energy compared to the conventional ground state of hydrogen.[1] Mills proposed that the electron in a hydrogen atom can reach an orbital state below the ground state of conventional quantum theory via a non-radiative transfer of an integral number of Hartrees to a suitable catalyst, thus releasing large amounts of energy and converting the "ground-state" hydrogen into a lower-energy hydrogen atom called a hydrino.[1] Most[1] physicists agree that the existence of hydrino states with the properties Mills attributes to them is incompatible with quantum mechanics. Moreover, no hydrino states have ever been agreed by independent sources to have been observed to exist.[1]

Mills asserts that his theory, which he terms "Classical Quantum Mechanics" (CQM), unifies Maxwell's Equations, Newton's Laws, and Einstein's General and Special Relativity, and that it is founded on the principle that physical laws hold over all scalesfrom that of subatomic particles to that of the cosmosthus overturning conventional quantum field theory.[2] Mills first put forth his proposition of the hydrino in 1991 to explain the disputed reports of cold fusion experimentalists of excess heat in certain electrolytic cells.[2]

Andreas Rathke of the European Space Agency has pointed out that the existence of a hydrino is unlikely in the environment proposed by Mills.[1] A 2005 evaluation by Rathke, found "severe inconsistencies" in Mills' theory, including a lack of "solutions that predict the existence of hydrinos". Rathke also stated that Mills' equations were not Lorentz invariant, a requirement of any theory that explains the behavior of particles moving close to the speed of light.[3]
