Every now and then in human history an invention or discovery comes along that reshapes the foundation of our future.

Now may be such a time.

What if an energy source was to be invented that just takes water to generate power between 100 and 200 times greater than that of combustion from fossil fuel?
What if that energy generation was completely environment friendly and the by-product resulted in a new and very useful matter?
Well, that's exactly what Blacklight Power has done.
Blacklight Power or BLP is a company that's invented a way to generate heat from hydrogen atoms, the main compound of water (that and oxygen)!
Shocking isn't it? The method has been known for some time now but the established scientific world has refused to acknowledge the invention because it breaks about any law in known quantum mechanics.
Technically, BLP has found a way of lowering the ground state of a hydrogen atom, thus releasing an enormous amount of energy in the form of heat and light. The ground state of an atom is the lowest known energy state that an atom can exist in. In other words, for a hydrogen atom, the ground state is at 0° Kelvin or the absolute zero temperature.
In normal thermo dynamical laws this means that no potential energy can be extracted from this atom and the atom's electrons are in the lowest possible orbit around their nucleus.
However, BLP and more specific the man behind it, dr. Randy Mills, has invented a method by using either Lithium Hydrid or Sodium Hydrid together with Raney nickel (an alloy of aluminium and nickel) as a catalyst to make hydrogen atoms ionize and release energy in the form of photons (light) or kinetic energy (resulting in heat). After the reaction, the hydrogen atoms now have a lower energy state than their presumed ground state and are now called hydrinos. They bond back together as a pair to form a dihydrino. Dihydrinos are in fact so light that upon release, they immediately leave Earth's atmosphere. Thus it can never accumulate in the air.
The net energy release of this process is in the order of 100 to 200 times more than that of conventional methods. It is somewhere in the middle of combustion and nuclear (fission) power.
Apart from generating heat, other applications of the BLP process are high voltage batteries and a highly efficient UV-laser where a conventional UV-laser the size of a building could be equalled by a desktop sized one.
Another very interesting application is in the development of a rocket fuel that is up to 7000 times more powerful than a normal combustion of hydrogen and oxygen! Compare that to the fuel-to-weight ratio of classic rocket propulsion like that of the Saturn V rocket that was used to get 3 men to the moon (3000 ton for 47 ton of payload) and you see immediately where we could go next!

You think this story is just another hoax?

The claims have recently been completely and independently verified by Rowan University. They have independently acquired and processed all the materials needed for the BLP process and recreated the experiment in their labs.
Furthermore, Blacklight Power claims it has developed a regenerative closed loop solid fuel that basically only needs the addition of water which enables the system to be easily commercializable. They predict commercial application will be much sooner than anticipated. A 3 megawatt demo power grid is to be expected still this year and they have already sold for 8000 megawatt in contracts.

The company BLP has been founded in 1991 after dr. Mills announced the hydrino state theory as an explanation for the erratic ColdFusion claim of 1989. Over the years BLP has raised 60M.$ in funds and refuses any further investments because it just was all they needed. Staff members range from ex NASA and US Navy people to former US Department of Energy (DoE) high profiles. Founder Randy Mills is an MIT summa cum laude graduate.

That all said, what could this mean for us humans?
It would mean that with this invention energy would be abundant, very cheap, safe and especially environment friendly. This could mean the end of global warming and a giant leap forward into space exploration. Not to mention all the wars that would end if oil, gas and other fossil fuels were to become obsolete.
Mankind could very well be at the brink of a new dawn.   And it's about time.

Check out the website of BlackLight Power and relevant press releases on the BLP process. Please do pass the news to anyone who might be interested because this event deserves a lot more than the marginal attention it has gotten so far (although it was only recently that the process was 100% independently verified).

As a footnote I would like to state that my elaboration of the theories is somewhat simplistic and not necessarily scientifically correct, let alone complete. The BLP process is indeed much more complicated and I am not physicist (nor native English speaker) myself. But the word should be spread and authorities must be made aware.
At least I'm not trying to explain it as simplistic as CNN as a reaction between water “and a kind of salt”.
Feel free to leave a comment on this article, just be adult in your reaction.

Thank you to all the American citizens who have voted for Barack Obama. He will have a hard time cleaning up the mess of the 8 year Republican debacle, but at least he gives hope to the world.

My two cents to the people of the U.S.A.: give this man time, don 't expect things to change in 3 months. He 'll need at least his whole term of presidency and probably even more to fix what's broken.

And even after that I 'd say: people, ALWAYS vote for the Democrats. If you think back to recent history, what presidents have been regarded as being humane and realistic: Roosevelt, Kennedy, Carter, Clinton and now Obama. And they 're all Democrats.

Need I say more?

But anyway: thank you again so much!

For once, I wish I were a U.S. citizen. So I could at least give one vote for a better future.
And that future lies NOT  in the hands of John McCain
To all U.S. Americans who read this post: please, please, please: GO AND VOTE OBAMA.
With great unbelief I recently learned from polls that John McCain would have about as much votes as Obama. How is that possible? John McCain is an extension of George Bush. I thought/hoped that after 8 years of Dark Ages with the George Bush jr. administration (12 if you count his dad with that) the people of the U.S.A. would know better now.
I have a son who is now 8 months old. I'm ashamed and frightened of the world I'm putting him in.
I'm not going to elaborate why it is wrong to vote Republican and why you should vote Democrate, my knowledge of American politics is too limited for that.
I'm just asking you this: if you have not decided who to vote for and you want to do something for the Trinity Rescue Kit, please: VOTE OBAMA. I'd rather have you vote for him than a donation for TRK. Really. The world of tomorrow is more important than some money.
So if you plan on doing so, please, send me a mail to harakiri - at - trinityhome . org and make us all feel better by promising your vote for Barack Obama

Live long and prosper

Previous year in march I had a terrible accident with my little dirtbike (pitbike). Here you can read the article (in dutch) from then and view some images of the fracture.
Due to a bad landing on the track I smacked hard to the dirt after a jump. My bike landed on my right leg and my leg was broken on several places. After more than a year and a half of pain and side effects, the dokters (specialists) decided to remove all the material out of my leg because now it is strong enough again to wear the weight of my body.

Picture from what they removed: Titanium Nuts and Bolts!
(Measures are in cm, not inches)

Today I was quite amused when my cat got face-to-face with the Beegle of my  mother in law.
Each time the dog, Wibo, comes over, he can run freely in the garden. And so can Janneke, our cat.
But as with most cats and dogs, they are not so fond of eachother, although they 're both very curious.
So Janneke strolls on the roof of my shed, provoking the dog rolling over on the side. This goes on for quite some time when all of a sudden: bam, cat overboard! She falls off at about half a meter next to the dog!
And so here 's the picture shot with my mobile, seconds after the drop, when she landed safely on her 4 feet.


No animals or people were injured during this scene. Except some a little startled...

Big was my surprise when I saw this animal almost walking into my garden.
It 's some sort of deer (a bambi?) and it 's only the second time I 've witnessed it in the wild in my own neighbourhood.
This time I had my camera handy, and with maximum zoom + digital zoom I managed to shoot this grainy picture (150m away). It was getting rather dark, so ISO values were shooting through the ceiling. 
Nonetheless, the animal is very clearly recognizable.

I noticed that Iconshock, the premier website for purchasing your professional icons, have a bunch of FREE Vista Icons you can get.

Today I pimped my HPI Savage X! I bought 2 pairs of HPI's mounted Phlatline tires on the Blast wheel Chrome. 140 x 70mm Johny wheels!

This is an open letter to the management of Agimont Adventure.

What do you do when a group of 15 people arrives late at YOUR adventure park, although they called several times in advance they were held up, although the time window is still well within opening hours, although they apologised plenty?
You ask them who the hell they are when they arrive of course. You tell them contstantly they 're 1.5 hour late, let them feel you 're in control. Takes some of the fight out of them. Yeah, you 're the man! Hey, they 're lucky you even let them in at all (don 't tell them the adventure course only takes 2 hours and you 're still open for more than 3,5)!  Or tell them that the time between the town called "Dave" and Agimont is a 1 hour drive (although we only did 30 minutes to get there, not even speeding at all). No sir, 30 minutes, impossible, you must have taken the highway (indeed we did, maybe a suggestion for you next time). But you 're still at holiday speed, so it 's 1 hour, no argueing about that. Let 's talk about the being late stuff again won 't we?

If they think this is the way to treat anyone, think again: this will not work with us. Yes, maybe we were late, like, we 're doing this on purpose, what? But both the manager and his wife kept on bragging on and on about how we were lucky they still wanted to take our group at all, how the monitors lost their patience and went home and that the manager had to guide our group personally now.
Well sir, thank you for pointing that out. You really set  the tone for the rest of the afternoon. In that case, you can get some of your own medicine. Don 't be surprised when people start thinking of you what a wise ass you are and that things escalate. But if you eventually start getting personal with me, telling me what a clown I am and pretending I didn 't secure myself as it should on the ropes, you 're at the wrong address.
Apparently you had no more reply when a decent, well structured answer was thrown back at you, so you just headed off angrily, sending your son instead ...who started off with even more agression and showoff against our group (for all the Flemish readers who 've seen the fantastic comedy show Trigger Happy: "Ik zen de Joeri, en ik wil oek oangesproke weurre as de Joeri! Oay?!") . Everything else that happened afterwards is a result of your conduct, your attitude. Having been in the army for 15 years is not a guarantee for getting respect nor does it give you the right to treat us as 12 year olds.
Remember: you reap what you sow!

Now, for anyone who would plan a day out at Agimont Adventures, here 's my conclusion: the infrastructure is quite well organised, you will get worth for what you paid, I have to give them that. But you 'll have to take the human insult as part of the package. They are after all "Übermensch"...


Oh lieve vrouwe toren...
