Brillouin Energy Corporation (BEC) updates.

A good milestone.

It is time to look for data about the TRL of Brillouin technology, how near it is to market.

I hope the license fees will allow to improve their technology, and first of all to understand what is happening.

Good news. For some background, this older interview with BEC's Robert George helps. It is well covered in the thread, so you do not have to listen to the interview itself:

Then last year, they were looking for more funding, which I believe they never closed on.

The other license they sold was to an anonymous South Korean company back in 2013. The technology was to be turned over to them, and they were going to figure out how to retrofit it into an existing coal plant, or something similar. Obviously that never happened. Here is a good article about that transaction:

And yes SOT, I know....

Robert George of Brillouin Interview

Godes, surely?

Alan,

Robert Godes is the inventor/founder, and Robert George BEC's CEO.

Apologies. I met Godes awhile back. Nice chap.

BEC has been blitzing Twitter "@Brillouin_nrgy", and Facebook "BEC Foundation", for the past month. They're not saying anything noteworthy, just a lot of repetitive, self promotion comments, and a replay of an older video. Anyone aware of something new about to happen? I know in August it looked as if they would be granted a patent, but since then they have been quiet.

Brillouin has upgraded their website, and looks to have added a new advisor or two;

Then launched a new round of funding, and opening up to more OEM partnerships:

Power Revolution

Clean energy has become a global imperative impacting all levels of business and society. The need to move beyond a zero-sum approach to energy consumption is uniting consumers, businesses and nations around the world to make more environmentally conscious decisions. While clean technology has come a long way over the past two decades, commercialization efforts have been limited by a lack of incentive to move away from traditional fossil fuels. Paradoxically, a failure to make this pivotal transition could have devastating consequences on the future civilization.

Brillouin Energy has been pioneering clean tech long before it became fashionable and prior to the recent influx of corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to Wall Street. Backed by 15 years of research and development and including collaboration with the Stanford Research Institute International in California, Brillouin is an innovative clean-tech firm leading the commercialization of low-cost, renewable thermal energy. By utilizing human and environmentally friendly low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), Brillouin is envisioning a world powered by highly efficient, zero-pollution heat source.

Brillouin’s system not only solves all the problems of current nuclear and petroleum-based power generation, but it also offers a competitive advantage over existing renewable energy sources like wind and solar. LENR overcomes these inefficient systems by operating continuously 24/7 without dependence on a large body of water, excessive land or the sun. The outcome is a complete energy system that can be deployed anywhere and produce defined output.

To harness the mainstream adoption of LENR generators, Brillouin Energy has and will license its proprietary Controlled Electron Capture Reaction (CECR) technologies to qualified original equipment manufacturers all over the world. OEMs from Australia, Canada and South Korea are already leveraging this proprietary system by preparing the market for reliable low-cost thermal energy.

Brillouin Energy is expanding its commercialization efforts through a private investment round. Supporters of this project will not only take part in a unique investment opportunity that will allow them to take part in the profits from licensing of this technology. Supporters can also count their contribution as a meaningful cause for the future of humanity.

Checked with "waybackmachine", and looks like they dropped Holden, and picked up Tanzella, and McKubre (LF active member) as new members of their Technical Advisory Board. Good additions to the BEC team. Both of course, are former SRI, and have been linked closely with BEC for several years now.

There are now a 7 members on the board. Probably the most prominent -due his brother, is Carl Page.

Quote from seven_of_twenty

Anyone want to bet nothing proven conclusively in the next five years? Looks to me like a money grab without sufficient evidence, but hey, they forgot to invite me to their demo. You know, the one where they have test experts from Sandia or UL verify that their device really has P_out>P_in (tip of the hat to Roseland67 )

If they had worked with Sandia, you would be saying instead: "You know, the one where they have test experts from SRI, or UL to verify their device". SRI is one of the finest research facilities in the world, and they verified BEC's tech. Be honest, you are never going to be satisfied.
