These are a couple of years away yet, but the basic technology is in place. Mike, How do you know this? I would like to believe it, as alwasy - and I could readily believe it ***IF*** you or anyone else who is trustworthy had personally witnessed it, taken independent measurements over and could honestly vouch for it as being robust. ... but alas... it appears you are quoting solely from BLP press releases. As always. And all that I see in the new PR is that they the company is running short of funds once again, and desperately needs investment capital; and furthermore that this episode sounds very much like a rerun of the previous "Capstone Turbine" claims and the "reverse gyrotron" claims, both of which unfounded claims preceded earlier rounds of financing - and this is far more like the real scenario than anything which is "a couple of years away yet" ... As far as actually planning for this at the National level - it is currently a no-show. Again, I am not negative at all - of the basic idea and concept of the hydrino - and I believe that the BLP lab results are real, and are similar to what is happening in the LENR field; but Mills has consistently balked when it comes to delivering a functional prototype - and there is nothing to show that this one is an exception to that long history of disappointment.
