"We've done a lot of testing. We've got 50 independent validation reports, we've got 65 peer-reviewed journal articles," he said.

LMAO!
Wait... what does "peer-reviewed journal" mean?
"International Association of Crack-pots"?

For anyone crossing their fingers... you're wasting more energy than this guy will ever create.

This would be awesome if it worked. It would mean cheap energy and some day cars would be able to run on it meaning no more gas in our cars. Then the whole Iraq war would have been for nothing(hehe).

I hope it works but like the doctors in the article..I am also a little skeptic.

The oil companies will buy it up and destroy it...

This is less believable than the article itself, you know.

Conspiracy theorize all you want, it just doesen't work like that in the real world.

Okay, so, call me dumb, but how the hell do you push an electron closer to a proton? What kind of freaky instruments does this guy have?

Well some people believe that there is unlimited oil and that oil companies have created a myth of limited supply.

I fully support any man who can prove math to be wrong. Math is retarded and doesn't even make sense half the time.

:confused: math is about the only thing on this big blue ball that does make sense. Math is the closest absolute people of the world can agree on

btw, I got butterflies in my stomach reading this article b/c my imagination started going wild thinking about what the world would be like if energy wasn't an issue.

Think about it... drive as far, and as hard as you want... FLY where ever, and whenever you want, We would all be happy as pie that China was developing so rappidly becasue we wouldn't be worried about our gas prices going up becasue of it.

I just can't imagine how sweet that would be :Q

edit: it is of course too good to be true though

Two words, Star Trek.

This sounds like one of the episodes, at the end of it everybody solves the problem and mission accomplished.

That's about as preposterous as the idea that oil companies buy up new technology, just to bury it.. lol.

But people don't agree on it, and it's reinvented every 50 years. Things are said to be impossible at one time are proven possible later. It's not an exact science by any sense of the term. There are probably half a dozen other things in math that are being challenged right now.

i have been following the mills and blacklight power story for almost 10 years and it seems it still has not changed much in that time period.
