Fuel's paradise? Power source that turns physics on its head
· Scientist says device disproves quantum theory
· Opponents claim idea is result of wrong maths

The Guardian
It seems too good to be true: a new source of near-limitless power that costs virtually nothing, uses tiny amounts of water as its fuel and produces next to no waste. If that does not sound radical enough, how about this: the principle behind the source turns modern physics on its head.
i read this on torrentspy.com, so I have no idea to the credibility of the source...

bull, I say

Quite likely no, as the guy has been claiming this for at least a decade.
May 2000: http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/blacklight_power_000522.html
And his patent (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1=hydrino&OS=hydrino&RS=hydrino), from February 2000.

The Guardian is credible. Whether the discovery that they're talking about is or not is a completely different matter.

None of us has questioned the Guardian. Instead, we're pointing out that the man is full of complete and utter bull****. For one thing, look at his degrees: He's an MD and an Electrical Engineer (whether Bachelor's, Master's, or a Doctorate is unspecified, but I'm betting Bachelor's with a possibility of it being a Master's). This is the domain of theoretical physics and quantum mechanics, not physiology and EEs.

Oh yes, it is complete bull****.

... unless mathmatics are wrong also!

There's also the fact that you'd really have no net energy gain. Given the fact that a hydrogen atom will seek to return to its standard ground state, it would reabsorb the energy released.
