Can anyone explain this to me please?

Michael, I read it and it makes no sense to me at all, compared to , say, cold fusion it is a 9.9 on my BS meter. Cold fusion is a 7.5. At least the mechanism of cold fusion can be understood and at least some researchers have been able to replicates it's effects. This is completely new to me and makes claims that are orders of magnitude more improbable, a new force? I'd like to see some proof of that for sure!

The site above had to add an update (no doubt the consequence of informed readers complaining):

UPDATE:
For clarification, the ideas and new physics/chemistry proposed by the Blacklight people goes against current science. The highly regarded living and dead scientists (including nobel prize winners) would have to be wrong in regards to the areas of physics and chemistry effected by the Blacklight/Hydrinos/Nwe physics theories and experiments (IF Blacklight Power is right which is a series of huge IFs).

It would take a series of improbable events for Blacklight to be totally right. The device could partially work but for reasons other than the new physics and chemistry that they propose.

The new physics (Hydrino theory) is described here:

Hydrino theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The theory has not had good success in peer reviews. I would treat it very skeptically.

An "electrically minded" friend said this to me:-

The energy is obtained by reducing the electron orbit in normal hydrogen, which due to the reduction in the radius of orbit, with the speed of the electron remaining constant releases energy.
I dont understand the chemistry but the physics would make sense if they can get it to happen.

Not really sure that that helps.

Well I dont know about the velocity part, but he has come up with a theory that proposes lower energy states of the hydrogen atom. So the way I see it is that basically this energy can be extracted via certain chemical reactions.

Apparently the maths of the theory starts with Maxwell's equations and applies it to a hydrogen system. At this point I think some rock hard experimental evidence needs to be put forward before it is taken more seriously.
