All this is moot. Hydrino energy will make storage largely unnecessary except possibly for small handheld devices. https://brilliantlightpower.com/news/ https:/

Is this a joke?

  Did you check out their web site? - does it look like a joke?

    Considering they've apparently been claiming for years to be able to convert the humidity in the air into the same mysterious dark matter that makes up much of the universe but whose composition and nature is currently unknown? Yes. It's about as believable as a product to convert belly button lint into plutonium.

    It looks like crank nonsense.

Wow, this is surprisingly less-debunked than I expected. Though, of course my first reaction is extreme skepticism. But I guess we'll see! https://www.quora.com/What-is-wrong-with-Dr-Mills-Hydrino-Theory?share=1 https://www.quora.com/What-is-wrong-with-Dr-Mills-Hydrino-Th... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Light_Power https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Light_Power

  Ahem.[1][2] "We'll see?" This guy has been milking this since 1991. As Aaronson's article so sardonically points out, there's nothing there to debunk. Every claim that can be made about the "hydrino" can be made with equal weight about the "doofusino," so what's the point? He's had three DECADES to set up any kind of publicity stunt or get the attention of any number of existing billionaires or just scrape together the resources he needs to build the no-shit this-changes-everything prototype. Or maybe Elon Musk and everyone who knows him is an idiot without vision who think they can make a buck on solar when this guy's world-changing technology is right around the corner this time for really real I promise.

    The Wikipedia article has been policed by skeptics and is not a fair assessment of Mills. Doofusino theory article is just satire and offers no serious rebuttal. Mills has made considerable progress over the decades overcoming engineering challenges in harnessing hydrino energy release. Recent advances of electromagnetically pumped liquid metal electrodes (to solve the problem of tungsten electrodes instantly melting), and a ceramic cell liner (solves the problem of the hydrinos melting a hole in the side of the reaction vessel) have got Mills close to a field prototype and he has prototypes that produce hundreds of kW continuously (hundred hour run) with water bath calorimetry. The skeptics will soon have scoffed their last.

      Policed by skeptics? That's the POINT of Wikipedia! Are you saying that a communal resource based on accurately documenting actual reality should be run by credulous people who will accept any statement without applying one second's worth of critical thinking? As I said, Doofusino doesn't NEED to be a rebuttal. THERE IS NOTHING HERE TO REBUT. The proof is in the pudding and Mills has no pudding whatsoever. All he has are his claims about all the magical fairytale things his wonderful technology can do. I don't care if he says it can braid my hair and create free cheerios on demand because he finally found the right alloy to use in his psychogravitic negamatrix. It's not real until there's proof and he hasn't offered any in thirty years. See you in another thirty, I guess.
