Major breakthrough on the road to commercialisation.
Dr Mills posted the following report of a major breakthrough towards commercialisation of the SunCell as the result of his re-design of the electromagnetic pumps that are the central feature of the design of the SunCell.
In order to produce the Hydrino reaction, an electric circuit must produce a spark at low voltage and high amperage, much like the spark plug in a car engine ignites the fuel air mixture. The problem is that the Hydrino reaction occurs at approximately 5,500C and vaporises solid metal electrodes in seconds.
Dr Mills solved the problem by using liquid tin electrodes. Tin becomes molten at 231.9C. By using electromagnetic pumps to circulate two streams of tin from reservoirs at the base of the SunCell he was able to produce a sustained Hydrino reaction.
The tin would consolidate from a vapor at 5,500C and refill the reservoirs to allow for a continuous cycle. It was a brilliant solution but fell foul to the inadequacy of the electromagnetic pump designs which would not operate for extended periods within the high temperature SunCell environment.
After years of seeking a solution, Dr Mills has now solved the problem, as he has solved all previous problems, by redesigning the electromagnetic pumps himself. He has patented his new design to safeguard the IP for the benefit of investors.
Electromagnetic Pumps
December 11, 2025 — Electromagnetic pumps (EM) have been in practical use since the 1950's for applications such as molten metal cooling in reactors. Typically, EM pumps function maintenance free for many decades. The SunCell exploits EM pumps to inject two molten streams through corresponding injectors wherein the streams intersect to carry a low voltage high current to ignite the hydrino reaction.
Unfortunately, the conditions created and required to maintain the hydrino reaction cause the EM pumps to fail in a few minutes as shown in the first recent video. We reached out to leading industry OEMs and academia including MIT, researched every form of pump including other types of EM pumps, performed trials, hosted site visits, and even built and tested new types such as one based on inductive currents and synchronised electromagnets.
We invested very significant time and resources in optimising the current EM pumps and have filed patents on ways to solve the failure issues. But, given the challenges of this technology for the SunCell application, the very low efficiency of less than 1% in general, and the absence of any commercially available or academia prototypes to test, Mills decided to invent a new molten metal technology.
The new pump was in the test stand within two weeks and within a couple more weeks it was deemed ready for test. The video of the first trial ever of this new technology on the SunCell is the second video. It worked flawlessly in its first trial.
EM-pump-failure was 100% the limiting factor to power production duration. Now that this impediment is eliminated, we should be able to develop commercial products. As our next priority, we are working on solving a very problematic supply chain and dramatic failure rate of foreign supplied parts due to poor workmanship. Once we clear these issues, we should be able to make great progress toward our commercialisation goals.
