Blacklight Power Announces Independent Replication

Can any physics buffs here make heads or tails of this? I really don't know what to think about this technology anymore ...

Blacklight Power announced three replications of their work and claims regarding hydrinos. Blacklight Power still is not generating any commercial electricity and has not widely distributed any test systems for more open verification of extraordinary claims.

1. BlackLight Power announced that CIHT (Catalyst-Induced-Hydrino-Transition) technology has been independently confirmed by Dr. K.V. Ramanujachary, Rowan University Meritorious Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry

2. An expanded team of scientists and engineers at Rowan University completed a thorough year-long series of additional testing of the thermal systems following the announcement and release of their validations in October 2008 and August 2009. Using BLP’s proprietary solid-fuel chemistry capable of continuous regeneration, independently formulated and tested fuels generated on-demand energy greater than that of combustion at power levels of kilowatts. Furthermore, when using BLP’s chemical process, Rowan University professors reported a net energy gain of up to 6.5 times the maximum energy potential of these materials from known chemical reactions.

3. Blacklight Power announced the replication of the extraordinary high-energy light emission below 80 nm from hydrogen at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). These results, previously thought to be impossible based on past theory, are predicted to be from the formation of hydrinos.

A paper found on the internet means nothing. What we need to see is a paper published in a mainstream journal. Their claims would seemingly violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, so unless someone can get a paper published in the mainstream, there is no reason to worry about it.

It has been brought to my attention that this claim now centers around the alleged production of excess energy due to a previously unrecognized nuclear/atomic process - not necessarily a violation of the 2nd Law. [In the past, we didn't know this. I believe it started with a closed black box that no one could examine]

The requirement for a published paper specific to this claim applies nonetheless. By definition, that is the first requirement for any claim that can be tested directly.
