I'd be careful

Don't part with your hard earned money on investing in this just yet. A guy that tells us the first product to expect from a remarkable new energy source will be a portable home heater deserves a raised eyebrow. Someone who won't go into details of who is investing in his research, but fosters rumors about NASA and a "range of US power companies," isn't to be trusted. And, of course, where are all these "peer-reviewed journal articles?"

People have been claiming to have free energy technology for decades. I'll believe this one when I see it rather than reading about it in a British gossip paper.

By the way, these guys have a very clever website that intersperses real science with hype in a professionally appearing foirmat. But if you read closely, your BS detector ought to be dinging. Here is one cute paragraph:

"BlackLight Power’s commercialization strategy is to nonexclusively license joint-venture companies (JVS) to develop, make, use, or sell its patented and patent-pending technology in any field any where in the world. These independent JVCs will invest the capital and time to develop commercial applications of the BlackLight Process. New patented technologies resulting from development of commercial products or processes by the JVC will be the property of the JVC. New patented technologies developed by BlackLight after the purchase of a license will be added to the original license. The license agreements will be offered for an annual maintenance fee and a minority equity position in the licensed, JVC. Companies with relevant capabilities or interest in developing new products or valuable new patented technology will require a license and are encouraged to contact us."


Translation: We don't have anything yet, but give us your money and trust us we'll figure something out.
