Renewable ENERGY

Cranbury, NJ (October 20, 2008)—BlackLight Power (BLP) Inc. today announced the successful independent replication and validation of its 1,000W and 50,000W reactors based on its proprietary new clean energy technology. BLP’s 50,000W reactor generated over 1 million joules of energy in a precise measurement made by Rowan University engineers, led by Dr. Peter Jansson. The independent study included full characterization of a proprietary solid fuel to generate the energy before and after the reaction.

Professor of engineering at Rowan University, Dr. Jansson says: “Our experiments on the BlackLight technology have demonstrated that within the range of measurement errors the significant energy generated, which is hundred times the energy that could be attributed to measurement error, cannot be explained by other known sources like combustion or nuclear energy. The ability to generate such tremendous power in this controlled process demonstrates that the claim by BlackLight Power that it is able to demonstrate repeatable heat experiments based on their technology can be replicated by independent scientists.”

The BLP process continues to be replicated and validated by independent scientists and has received interest from financial institutions and power utility plant operators around the world. BLP plans on licensing its technologies.

Randell Mills, Chairman, CEO, and President of BlackLight Power Inc. says: “This is the result that the world has been waiting for to engage this technology and provides validation that the energy generated using the BlackLight technology is no longer an academic argument. The BlackLight Process generates more than two hundred times the energy of burning hydrogen that can be harnessed to replace the thermal power in coal, oil, gas and nuclear power plants. These experimental results prove that the new power source discovered in our labs has the possibility to make a profound impact in our current energy-strapped economy.”

Dr. Jansson’s team conducted 55 tests of the prototypes, including controls and calibrations, during a nine-month study. Test results indicated that energy generation was proportional to the total amount of solid fuel, and only one percent of the one million joules of the energy released could be accounted for previously known chemistry. These results matched earlier tests conducted at BlackLight’s “R&D” center, in Cranbury New Jersey.

A former CEO of Westinghouse and current board member of BlackLight Power Michael Jordan says: “The offsite replication and independent testing announced by Dr. Peter Jansson and his team of scientists underscore the business viability and impact of BlackLight’s new energy source as the opportune replacement of coal-based fuels and will go down as one of the most important advances in the field of energy in the last fifty years.”

Recently a company based in Tel Aviv, presented their latest invention – a specialized colored panel, resembling a colored plexiglass which is able to produce power from diffused light using a solar cell.

According to GreenSun Energy, their latest invention is glass made with fluorescent dyes and nanoparticle metals. Besides being more efficient, the new solar cells could also have a lower cost compared to traditional solar cells. Another advantage of the new solar cells is that they require approximately 80% less silicon than the traditional ones (less silicon means a lower cost of production). When sunlight (be it direct or indirect) touches the panels, it disperses across and the metal nanoparticles bring the sunlight to the sphere where the silicon is placed.

This latest invention costs 2.05$/W and is 13% more efficient than traditional solar panel, which costs around approximately 4.54$/W. In addition, CleanTechnica informs that the conventional solar panels have efficiency loss because of the heat does not turn into energy. In the new solar panels, the sunlight is diffused across the entire panel, thus nanoparticles are able to bring light to the edges of the panel where the light is transforms into energy.

Scientists at GreenSun look forward towards increasing the efficiency of their new solar cell from 13% to 20%. They also hope to reduce the costs of producing the new panels to approximately 1$/W.
