Letter to Editor of Scientific American

Dear Randy,

Below is the text of a letter I am sending to the editors of Scientific American concerning an item by Graham
Collins on p40 of the November issue, in which Collins sandwiches selected facts about you and BLP between
Joseph Newmann and the motionless electric generator under the heading of "Selling the Free Lunch".
---------------------------------
Graham Collins "Selling the Free Lunch" is glib association posing as journalism, unworthy of Scientific
American. I am well aware of both Joseph Newman's work and that of Dr. Mills, Mr. Collins evidently is not.
Placing Dr. Mills' discoveries in context with Newman's and the motionless electric generator is irresponsible.

Dr. Mills has extensively published detailed experimental results in peer-reviewed journals and
addressed major scientific professional societies. There is no "free lunch" in the BalckLight Power
process; hydrogen is the specific fuel consumed, producing extraordinary energy by the specific
catalytic process. Current work is privately funded by qualified investors. A half-hour study of
www.blacklightpower.com would find a board of directors with impressive business and technical
credentials and a small technical staff including Ph.D.'s testing and developing applications of Dr.
Mills' discovery. There are tutorials and dozens of scientific papers. That NASA is sponsoring an
investigation at Rowan University into the use of one of the BlackLight Power reactions for deep space
exploration should have given Mr. Collins pause in his glib association.

Mr. Collins uses a journalistic trick by carefully selecting facts concerning Dr. Mills' work, and
placing those facts in a context which distorts their import and does a disservice to readers of
Scientific American.
