The article's first paragraph is clearly taking a shot at BlackLight Power in New Jersey. The site can be reached at BlackLight Power. While the hydrino concept is difficult to accept for almost all mainstream quantum mechanists, I think all of them would acknowledge Dr. Mills as a very bright man who is capable of more original thought than 98% of the scientific community. This doesn't make his theory 'correct', but doesn't make him a pariah either.
Only through experimental repeatability and multiple independent observations of the 'hydrino' can true scientific credibility begin in his case. Quantum mechanics has accumulated nearly a century of scientific evidence and it is not unreasonable to think big ideas need this kind of time frame for validation now and in the future.
In the ocean acoustics world, many experiments
are underwater for up to 9 months at a time (such
as ice covered waters in Greenland Sea).
One can make an acoustic receiver with analogue front end (such as pseudo-matched filter) with digital back end (ADC, signal processing routines,
storage) designed around a Motorola architecture
that runs with an average power consumption of less than.5 W.
There are companies such as persistor (www.persistor.com) that specialize in these low power applications.
Of course, the big drain is a screen which these
underwater systems don't have. But did anyone notice that their 8.5W figure was an 'expected' one with the LCD display? I don't think anyone has seen this number in practice yet with a screen
the size they are claiming, so I'm a bit suspicious. But maybe I misinterpreted their documentation.
As an American living in the UK the past several
years, I tried to find the formula and couldn't.
I finally did find it by following a link from
www.time.gov
But the formula, at least through 2007, is pretty
easy.
It is one week before the US. For example,
this year Europe changed at 2 am March 25th.
