About BlackLight Power

Brilliant Light Power, Inc. (BrLP), founded in 1991 as HydroCatalysis Inc. by Dr. Randell L. Mills, is a technology development firm based in Cranbury, New Jersey. The company is focused on commercializing a new primary energy source derived from what it terms the "BlackLight Process." This process is based on the theory that hydrogen atoms can transition to a lower-energy state, which Dr. Mills has named a "hydrino." The transition is claimed to release a significant amount of energy, far exceeding that of conventional chemical reactions.

Dr. Mills, who serves as the company's Chairman, CEO, and President, has a background in chemistry and medicine, having graduated from Franklin & Marshall College and Harvard Medical School, followed by graduate work in electrical engineering at MIT. His research into the fundamental nature of the electron led to the development of his "Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics" and the subsequent formation of Brilliant Light Power to develop technology based on these principles. The company's core assertion is that this process can provide clean, continuous power using water as the ultimate fuel source. It is important to note that the existence of hydrinos and the validity of the underlying theory are highly controversial and not accepted by the mainstream scientific community, which considers them incompatible with the principles of quantum mechanics.

The company's primary product under development is the SunCell®, a device designed to harness the energy from the BlackLight Process. The SunCell aims to create a high-intensity, light-emitting plasma by catalytically converting the hydrogen from water into hydrinos. This brilliant light, said to be thousands of times the intensity of the sun, is then converted into electricity using concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) cells. The system is designed to be a closed loop, consuming only hydrogen derived from water and regenerating its catalyst materials. The potential applications are vast, targeting thermal, stationary, and motive power markets, from residential and commercial electricity to industrial process heat and transportation. The proposed business model involves leasing the SunCell® units, providing power at a projected cost significantly lower than any existing energy source. Despite numerous announcements, the company has not yet delivered a commercial product.
