Mills has developed a better purely classical atomic model where the electrons are concentric spinning fluid spheres with force balance equivalent to 20k atmospheres pressure. The spinning electrons don't radiate because there is no net charge movement over time. See https://brilliantlightpower.com/theory/ https://brilliantlightpower.com/theory/

- dave333 1y agoThat wikipedia page has a strong skeptical bias and is seriously out of date.
- rcxdude 1y agoSounds like skepticism is warranted.
- terminalbraid 1y agoAh, the forever cry of the crackpots. That's particularly rich complaint given it's a publicly editable resource. The only reason it could be in poor shape and "out of date" is because you yourself left it that way. If that was a truly workable theory it would have verifiable predictions and compatibility with all prior observation and it would be eagerly explored. Scientists as a whole like to find anomalies and discrepancies; it is what keeps them in business. There is no "conspiracy".
- dave333 1y agoEdits are removed unless they are published in well known journals which is fair enough for scientific results, but you cannot even update the page to state Mills latest engineering improvements or update factual information about the company.
- frontfor 1y agoIf they have actual engineering improvements this sentence in the Wikipedia article could be easily disproved. > BLP has announced several times that it was about to deliver commercial products based on Mill's theories but has never delivered any working product.
- dave333 1y agoThe main problem is there is so much power the device melts. They have now started using molten gallium electrodes (as of 2016), and now a quartz crystal housing that lets the UV light out and doesn't melt. They are offering hydrinos in a bottle to qualified labs. Stuff goes through a gas chromatograph faster than hydrogen.
- meindnoch 1y ago"skeptical bias" is an oxymoron. A skeptic merely rejects claims without evidence.

- t8sr 1y agoYes and my yoga teacher has an even better theory where the electrons are stopped from falling in by spirits of their time-traveling ancestors.
- ben_w 1y agoI want to make a joke about Feynman path integrals and the single electron universe etc., but I can't think of an appropriate yoga pun.
