The Cold Fusion crowd think very highly of Dr. Mill. The American Physical Society does not hold him in quite such high regard:

New Patents---Pre-Shrunk Hydrogen and Advanced Sub-Carrier Modulation
In 1991, Randy Mill (MD, Harvard, 1986) showed, in his "Unified Theory", that cold fusion wasn’t
actual fusion, but was just a process that puts hydrogen atoms into an energy state which is below
the ground state. These tiny atoms he called "hydrinos", and hydrino production will obvious release
a great deal of energy. His company, BlackLight Power, raised a few million dollars from some utility
companies. He refers to the discovery of hydrinos as "the most important discovery of all
time…up there with fire". In February, the company was awarded a patent for a chemical means of
producing hydrinos. This outdid the recent patent awarded in November to Media Fusion for
"Advanced Sub-Carrier Modulation", which transmits data over ordinary power lines with a 10 GHz
bandwidth. They claim that magnetic fields surrounding the conductor can act as a waveguide.
After the fiasco last April in which a patent examiner organized a conference on "Free Energy" (see
the July issue of this newsletter), one would hope that the patent office would have learned….

HYDRINOS: HONEY, I SHRUNK THE HYDROGEN!
BlackLight Power is relocating to the Princeton, NJ area, having purchased
a building for $2M where RCA once built satellites (WN 8 Jan 99). Randall
Mills, who says he has a technique for getting hydrogen into a state below
the ground state, explained to the Princeton Packet that "It's the most
important discovery of all time...up there with fire." Back when BLP was
HydroCatalysis, Mills sold one of his cells to NASA. I guess they're still
testing it.
Eric Krieg is offering $10,000 for proof of a free energy claim:
