Brilliant Light Power

[The new erato]

I've always wondered if a wind quintet could power a windmill and solve our energy problems.

Did you see the website? Or didn't you dare to click? Suckers.

[The new erato]

I've seen it. Why shouldn't I dare click? But a fancy webpage proves absolutely nothing, if it did I could send you some really fancy links that you would be well adviced not to visit though they seem very convincing.

To quote: "The proposed theory is inconsistent with quantum mechanics. Critics say it lacks corroborating scientific evidence, and is a relic of cold fusion. Philip Warren Anderson said he is sure it's a "fraud", and Stephen Chu called it "extremely unlikely". In 2009 IEEE Spectrum magazine characterized it as a "loser" technology because "Most experts don't believe such lower states exist, and they say the experiments don't present convincing evidence". BlackLight has announced several times that it was about to deliver commercial products based on Mill's theories but has not delivered a working product."

Until something more substantial is put on the table, I consider it purely speculative and a puff of hot air. If one is about to disprove quantum mechanics, some pretty decisive proofs are needed. The history is full of speculative schemes falling flat on their face despite lots of hype and true believers. Most people are too gullible, mostly because it would be soooooo nice if it actually were true, and hence their willingness to put their normal, sceptical facilities aside. That is what has kept all schemers in business through the years.  Read Kahn's very worthwhile book "Thinking fast and slow" for an understanding of how these mechanisms work.

After all, there are millions of people actually believing in the book of Mormon. If I needed 5 wives perhaps I would believe too. P. T. Barnum got it right. But in the real world there aren't that many free lunches (not that 5 wives are free - shudder!).

I've built a time machine that runs on Cheetos.

You can expect to be hearing from my lawyers regarding patent infringement.

Oh no, now he'll disappear from the board again!

Puffed or Fried? 'cause if it's puffed, we can talk some business!

You forgot to mention that the commercial release will be Real Soon Now.

I'd buy two, travel back in time with one of them, and start selling them first.

Mr Mills has published three books with original ideas of physics and cosmology. They are free to download: http://www.blacklightpower.com/theory-2/theory/

A updated video about their technology is on the website:

I wouldn't read them or watch that video if you paid me.

Why not??

[North Star]

Why not??

Because I prefer technology that's based on science, and not on the doings of magical elves. I'm sure Yavanna could have created such a magnificent source of energy without the need to concern herself with conservation of energy or other mundane laws of science.

And Henk, here is another energy company that is investable - the shares are a bargain at $0.0045 each. 

SEFE, Inc. is a development stage company that is engaged in developing and marketing a renewable source of energy that naturally occurs in the atmosphere. It is designed to operate by capturing static electricity from the atmosphere and making it usable for mining, manufacturing and construction companies, utility companies and mining relief organizations. The company was founded on September 24, 2004 and is headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ.

Just email me a couple of days before you buy a bunch of the stock

(just kidding, seriously these things are scams)

Sort of like cold fusion.

or inertial confinement fusion

[The new erato]

or inertial confinement fusion

There's lots of internal confusion that should qualify for confinement at least in this thread.

I propose we start fusing atoms.. with Mahler!!!
