BRILLOUIN ENERGY CORP. HOSTS INFORMATION SESSION ON LENR THERMAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY AT U.S. CAPITOL

Brillouin Energy Corp. presented its groundbreaking thermal energy technology on Capitol Hill last week. Attendees included Members of Congress, congressional aides, federal government officials, industry representatives, and citizens’ groups concerned with the federal government’s progress on developing clean energy solutions.

“It was great to see that much interest in DC for a true safe green nuclear power technology,” commented Brillouin’s President and Chief Technology Officer, Robert Godes.

Attendees were able to learn about Brillouin’s prototype LENR reactors and hear from a number of speakers, including Dr. Michael McKubre of Stanford Research International (SRI). Brillouin and SRI have entered into a technology research agreement under which SRI is engaged in calibration testing and independent analysis of the Brillouin technology.

As Dr. McKubre noted in a report distributed at the event, “it is very clear that something on the order of four times (4x) and potentially more gain in power (and therefore ultimately energy) was achieved at an impressive and industrially significant operating temperature of around 640°C. To my knowledge this had not been achieved before in the LENR field. The fact that the Q pulse input is capable of triggering the excess power on and off is also highly significant.”

In addition, Dr. Banning Garrett, former Strategic Foresight Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, was also present and issued a report detailing the current status of the LENR field and credibility of Brillouin’s claims. As Dr. Garrett noted, “LENR power generation, if realized, has the potential to become one of the technologies for transformation of the global energy system.”

Brillouin’s breakthrough technology is now garnering national and international attention and the company looks forward to working with government and industry leaders to bring this technology to market.

Background on Brillouin

Brillouin Energy Corporation is a clean-technology company based in Berkeley, CA, which is developing, in collaboration with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), an ultra-clean, low-cost, renewable energy technology that is capable of producing commercially useful amounts of thermal energy.

The Brillouin technology is based on [lexicon]low energy nuclear reactions[/lexicon] (LENR). The result is ultra-clean, low-cost, and sustainable renewable energy that doesn’t rely on any type of fossil fuel, chemical, or nuclear fuel. This process produces zero emissions and no solid wastes which pollute the environment.

Brillouin’s technology is a proprietary method of electrical stimulation of nickel metal conductors using a proprietary control system. The process pulses the system to generate excess heat. The excess heat produced is a product of reactions in hydrogen (from water or gas) in the nickel metal lattice. The process is neither fission nor fusion—rather, electrons change protons to nearly-stationary neutrons in the nickel metal lattice, generating heat.

The reactor converts hydrogen into helium, which has slightly less mass—that mass difference creates a large amount of thermal energy without burning any hydrocarbon energy sources. The reactor is very small relative to the amount of thermal energy output, making the technology very clean and efficient with a virtually inexhaustible fuel supply. Brillouin is currently working to scale the heat production up to commercial output levels.

Brillouin has developed TWO systems:

1) The WET™ Boiler, which is being designed to generate heat from 212º to 302º Fahrenheit, and is intended for home heating and hot water use.
2) The HHT™ Boiler, which is being designed to generate heat at 932º to 1,112º Fahrenheit, and is intended for commercial electricity generation.

Wish them good luck. I hope that with COP21 process, LENR will catch political interest.

I'm curious to read the report by Dr Banning Garrett.

Quote from Hendrik

I have a question, related to Brillouin’s technology.
When a firm invented a LENR device they mostly try to get a patent first, although they have no scientific model to clarify their device. What will happen to the obtained patent when scientists…

Robert Godes may answer himself, but note that David French, expert in patents, answered clearly to that question. A faulty theory, a theory proven false afterward, or absence of theory, is not a problem with a patent, as long as the description is clear enough for someone competent enough to replicate it as said. At worst if the patent "defy current theories" and "should be impossible", then the patent examiner will ask soli evidences it works, as solid as the claim is believed impossible. On the opposite a patent based on known theory is often not verified as functional. A patent that don't work is without value, and myself I don't see why people even care to check it is real... maybe to prevent scammers to use patent as evidence... patent is not an evidence but something to divulgue knowledge in exchange of temporary protection.

McKubre pretended support to papp have been more like "why not, let me test it myself"...
and Papp did not let him test. This have been addressed long ago... nothing change, it is like alien abduction theories...

the ability of skeptic to deform reality is so fascinating. Remind me 9/11 conspiracy sites.

McKubre suspend his disbelief, or at least is polite (I bet more on that).
Some should learn about that method.

about the COP of 4, the advantage claimed by Brillouin is instantaneous control.
you can start and stop at will.
anyway for E-cat application in heating, provided the good control is attained in SSM over one hour time period, E-cat is great.

However both are technology at infancy. I hope Brillouin will be able to improve his technology.
COP4 is really the minimum to produce electricity at their temperature.
