Brilliant Light Power Demonstration
Sun in a Box
Jan. 28 was the 2nd anniversary of the first light demonstration they did.
Randall said their goal is to go commercial and dominate the renewable energy sector, with a technology that produces no pollution of any kind, and which could be fitted to all forms of power need, including transportation, with no subsidies required to be economically feasible. He later said that the smallest it could be scaled to would be 25 kW. So other technologies like Orbo and ADGEX, will still be needed to power our portable devices without external re-charge required. But overall, Randall predicted that their solution has the capacity to solve the planet’s long-term energy needs.
He talked about the core science behind their technology, which is the “hydrino,” which makes up the dark matter of the universe. If I understand right, regular hydrogen is a higher energy form, and the hydrino is the lower energy form. BrLP uses water as the fuel source, which is stable, and inert, and converts this into the hydrino form, which liberates a very bright light, which can then be harnessed by concentrated solar PV panels. (Off-the-shelf technology, already developed, and being improved.)
“Sun in a box,” he called it. But that is actually an understatement, as the intensity of the light is the equivalent of 1000 suns. They’ve gotten it as high as 10,000 suns, or ~36 million watts per square centimeter. Generally speaking, using the BrLP process, “100 gallons of gasoline is roughly equivalent to the power of 1 gallon of water.”
The problem, which they have solved, is that the frequency range of the BrLP light emission, up in the UV and extreme UV range, is outside of the frequency range that solar panels are designed to harvest. The way they solve this is by emitting onto a black body surface (tungsten or carbon) that captures that energy and radiates in the frequency that the solar panel can harvest in the UVB region (280 nm – 320 nm). That portion of their development was not demonstrated. They were demonstrating the continuous light emission, without the blackbody absorber and solar PV panel present.
Randall said that their theory is supported by classical physics, but they take it to the next level by explaining the nature of the electron. Their model, therefore, has applications not just in their BrLP energy modality, but in all molecular modelling, as their “electron orbitsphere” gives better shape to the atoms that make up molecules, better predicting their size and bond angles.
The shift of the hydrogen to hydrino is an energy-accepting reaction, in which the energy transfer drops the electron to a smaller radius, forming a more stable H atom. He said that 99% of hydrogen in the universe is in the hydrino form. He also said that this hydrino has been identified clearly by more than twelve analytical tests.
A question I would have for him is if there is some process in nature, whether here on earth, or on the Sun, or somewhere that it would make the necessary “cycle of nature” closed, so that the hydrinos that the BrLP process is creating, by consuming the higher-energy form of H, are cycled back to the higher-energy form, so we don’t run into a “peak H” dilemma. Maybe he’s addressed that already. Let us know in the comments below.
A second problem that they faced and have overcome was that for this process to be feasible, they had to achieve a reaction rate of at least 1000 cycles/second. The previous method they had tried, of using counter-rotating discs, chewed up the discs.
In the demonstration on the 28th, the rate was 2000x/second. Someone asked what the sound was that we could hear. Randall responded something to the effect: “The frequency of the rate of reaction.” This is accomplished by running the stream of molten silver up between the electrodes, via an electromagnetic (EM) pump, which is solid state. (EM pumps are off-the shelf technology.) The molten and vaporized silver accumulate back in the bottom of the chamber where they can be pumped up again. He said that this method is capable of rates up to 10,000x/second. In the Q&A, Randall told me that there is only about $250 worth of silver in one module.
