I read about BLP's SunCell recently and it sounds suspect. It supposedly
DIRECTLY GENERATES ELECTRICITY FROM REACTION OF HYDROGEN TO DARK MATTER USING WATER FREELY AVAILABLE IN THE HUMIDITY IN THE AIR
The SunCell® was invented and engineered to harness the clean energy source from the reaction of the hydrogen atoms of water molecules to form a non-polluting product, lower-energy state hydrogen called “Hydrino” that is the dark matter of the universe wherein the energy release of H2O to Hydrino and oxygen is 100 times that of an equivalent amount of high-octane gasoline at an unprecedented high power density. The compact power is manifest as thousands of Sun equivalents that can be directly converted to electrical output using commercial concentrator photovoltaic cells.
Being greater than ten thousand times brighter than sunlight, the corresponding reduction in the area of the photovoltaic converter
It involves a small area with intense light, and photovoltaic cells to capture the light and output energy, a tabletop model supposedly generating at least enough to power a house (or a whole block of houses??). How could photo cells even be small enough to capture such intense energy? I'd think they have a limit of a few times normal sunlight, not ten thousand as seems to be required. The cells would melt down.
The SunCell® comprises six fundamental low-maintenance commercially available systems, some having no moving parts and capable of operating for a decade or more: (i) a start-up inductively coupled heater to first melt silver; (ii) a gas injector to inject hydrogen derived from water and an injection system comprising an electromagnetic pump to inject molten silver and a very stable solid source of oxygen that reacts with the hydrogen to form the hydrogen to hydrino catalyst; (iii) an ignition system to produce a low-voltage, high current flow across a pair of electrodes into which the molten metal and fuel are injected to form a brilliant light-emitting plasma; (iv) a blackbody radiator heated to incandescent temperature by the plasma; (v) a light to electricity converter comprising so-called concentrator photovoltaic cells that receive light from the blackbody radiator and operate at light intensity of over one thousand Suns; and (vi) a fuel recovery and a thermal management system that causes the molten metal to return to the injection system following ignition.
I smell bullshit.
