The recent discussion of RCA reminds us that Blacklight Power moved into part of RCA’s satellite plant in East Windsor, NJ. They set about developing cold fusion as an energy source.
Recall physicists have spent big bucks trying to develop hot fusion with little success. They recently reported net power generation but follow-up reports have been sparse suggesting problems scaling up or running continuously.
Meanwhile a couple of chemists came up with cold fusion in abt $50 worth of laboratory glassware in a dishpan. It has to be a hoax. And physicists certainly think so. But Blacklight soldiers on.
As of last fall they changed their name to Brilliant Light Power and issued a business plan for very low cost electric power from “hydrino” technology. They are seeking funds for a pilot system.
No indication who has funded this company. If it was a hoax or a fraud they would have faded into bankruptcy in a few years. RCA was acquired by GE in 1987. Blacklight dates from 1991. How can a hoax survive for 35 years? There must be something to their technology.
In NJ in the early days the word was if you went to work for them your career was dead. You would never get another job.
