Moonbat Science?

The guys at Blacklight Power claim they have 20 proto types of 50KW electrical generators ready to test this summer. Founder Mills' theory "rests on what he describes as his discovery of the hydrino - an altered version of hydrogen that has an energy level lower than its ground state, or the baseline energy level. These modified atoms, he argues, are the stuff that comprises dark matter, the invisible material that many scientists believe composes more than 90% of the universe. The mechanism that creates hydrinos - a chemical reaction whose released energy can allegedly be harnessed for power - is what Mills calls the BlackLight Process."

This would overthrow physics and cosmology as we currently perceive them and it has the trapings of pseudoscience to me, but astute well-informed technical degreed Venture Capatalists have staked $60M of their own money on it. Hope they get rich. What's nice is we'll either see demonstrable results of power generation late this year or perhaps hear the "dog ate my homework" excuse and requests for more time and more money to get 'results'. Stay tuned.
