Randell Mills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Randell L. Mills (born September 3, 1957) is a U.S. scientist and inventor best known as the chief proponent of the controversial hydrino theory. This theory introduces a new model of atomic chemistry which predicts another form of the hydrogen atom called a "hydrino"; according to this theory forcing a hydrogen atom from its conventional state into the hydrino state would liberate intense amounts of energy (1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel, according to Mills). Hydrino theory, which is fundamentally incompatible with current models of quantum mechanics, is the focus of widespread skepticism in the scientific community.
Mills claims to have built a prototype power source functioning on hydrino technology, and claims to have investors ready to offer tens of millions of dollars to finance his invention. Mills is CEO of BlackLight Power, Inc., a company formed for commercial exploitation of hydrino technology; BlackLight claims to have raised over $50M in venture capital as of 2006. [1]
Mills is considered a pseudoscientist by many scientists, despite his success at raising money for BlackLight Power. See Wikipedia article on Mills' Hydrino theory for discussion.

[edit] Professional background
Mills was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Franklin and Marshall College in 1982, and an MD from Harvard Medical School in 1986. Following a year of graduate work in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mills began his research in the field of energy technology.
He is the founder and principal stockholder of Black Light Power, Inc., and has served as president, director, and chairman of the board since 1991.

[edit] Patents
Mills has received or filed patent applications in the following areas:
- magnetic resonance imaging
- Mössbauer cancer therapy
- Luminide class of drug delivery molecules
- genomic sequencing method
- artificial intelligence
- Mills received U.S. Patent Number 6,024,935 for "Lower-energy hydrogen methods and structures".
- Mills came close to receiving U.S. Patent Number 6,030,601 for "Hydride Ions", but the patent office withdrew that patent twelve days before it was to have been issued. BlackLight Power appealed to the United States district court of the District of Columbia, but lost.
