One of those was by Los fter several attempts to mesh Alamos National Laboratory; the Avbusy schedules, I finally was able other was by Dr Michael McKubre, of to hook up with John Rohner, CEO of SRI International, who subsequently Inteligentry, to interview him about joined its board of advisers. the latest developments in his McKubre was especially impressed Plasmic Transition Process™— by the consistency of the results. noble-gas engine technology. This was the first time (in the LENR My overall impression after talking experimental arena) that he was able to him is that his company is further to repeat something every time, along than I'd thought.

Brillouin New Hydrogen Boiler™ For those of you not familiar with (NHB™) or "Hot Tube", entailing this technology, it is an engine tha BEC's new dry boiler system, which runs on what John calls a "plasmic will be able to produce heat from transition" process using noble 400°C to 500°C. gases to create the plasma, with a This technology will be capable of coil around the cylinder to contro running power-plant turbines. the plasma and a high-voltage spark Licensing this boiler technology is (actuator) to initiate the process. going to be the lowest-hanging fruit The fuel is essentially free, both because of the number of power- because so little is consumed over plant systems that have been time and because the fuel is mothballed by stringent EPA inexpensive. Also, because it has regulations. ewer moving parts and its power BEC expects to be able to generate density is greater, the engine itself is power at one cent per kilowatt-hour, with much less expensive to build than no toxic emissions of any kind. he engine it would be replacing. * More from PESN is available at We're talking engine-driven generator http://tinyurl.com/6wr4mte.

It also makes energy deployment entirely feasible to places where power is currently unavailable, such as in the Third World. ! PNG John is not sure what the initial ouin Boiler 9 He) units will cost; that will be determined largely by the manufacturers. However, the company's goal is to get the two-cylinder engine price down to US$275 within three years. That is inconceivably cheap, considering the energy that it puts out. 2. Brillouin: Capture Reactions ne of the most exciting fields in the exotic free-energy world right now is colloquially called "cold usion", or low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR)—"low energy" referring to the relatively low energy required to initiate the nuclear event hat produces copious amounts of energy, usually cleanly. Brillouin’s technology uses the ydrogen in ordinary water in a nuclear process that produces no azardous waste. Its proprietary electronic pulse generator promotes proton-electron capture reactions. The pulses change some of the protons in metal to neutrons, and surrounding nuclei subsequently capture these produced neutrons. The subsequent neutron capture reactions generate heat; and because the pulses are controlled, the thermal output from Brillouin’s proprietary technology safely provides clean heat on demand. The process stimulates a controlled electron capture reaction (CECR) in a catalyst. This process creates low-energy neutrons. The neutrons generate heat as they are captured, building heavier elements.
