BlackLight Power

BlackLight Power

BlackLight Power, Inc. (BLP) of Cranbury, New Jersey is a company founded by Randell L. Mills who claims to have discovered a new energy source. The purported energy source is claimed to be based on Mills' theory that a hydrogen atom energy level can drop below the ground state, contradicting the definition of ground state. Mills calls the theoretical hydrogen atoms that are in an energy state below ground level, "hydrinos". Mills self-published a closely related book The Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics, August 2011 ed. (GUT-CP).

Several prominent physicists have criticized the underlying physical theory, calling it "fraud", "extremely unlikely", lacking corroborating scientific evidence, a relic of cold fusion, and questioning the wisdom of those who invest in it. IEEE Spectrum magazine has been especially critical, pointing out that BlackLight has made similar claims before, announcing that it was on the brink of commercializing its revolutionary technology but failing to deliver.
