Mills is planning to have a production ready prototype Q1 2017 and possibly enter full production with units for sale by the end of 2017.
They are on track to deploy 100 kilowatt commercial power generators in the first half of 2017,

You forgot something in amongst all of that.
It doesn't work.
Why, after 25 YEARS and over $60 MOLLION, is there absolutely nothing, NOTHING, in our homes, cars, factories or anywhere else?
Do they need another $60 MILLION?
I say the same thing about the Tokamak, only in their case it's 14 billion rather than 60 million.
Latest test from brilliant light.
Sustained megawatt output without any electrode melting. 99% of the emissions are in invisible UV, so what you're seeing is just 1% of the actual output. Total input power of about 8 kW. This is a test run using production spec refractory materials designed to last indefinitely. Given that there are no moving parts, the system should run continuously without maintenance for years.

You're right, I'm not dumb.
I took the time to do my homework.
I've been saying brilliant light was on to something 10 years ago, when Rowan did a validation study on their proof of concept findings. Since then, numerous other universities have done studies all showing the same positive results. I've linked those studies in this post already.
I said Mills is planning to have a PROTOTYPE generator ready Q1 and MAY have production models ready to for sale by the end of 2017. Given the progress in this video, it wouldn't surprise me if he had a working prototype to demo by Christmas.
The next video BLP releases may very well be of a fully functional prototype self-sustaining generator.
You mean next year? No, wait. Something tells me BLP will declare it the following year, again.

It will be fun ramming Mills theory down everyone's throats after his generator starts dominating the energy market.
If they ever get it to work. Surely 25 years is long enough for a proof of concept, at least. That's STILL something that hasn't been done. I wonder why.
Not much room will be left to deny the power of his theory at that point.
I wouldn't hold your breathe.
I anticipate everyone working in the material sciences will switch over to using his modeling software, while the remaining theoreticians will stamp their feet and wail as their federal funding gets pulled.

The generator was creating so much power that it was blowing holes through inch thick tungsten electrodes. It could only run for a few seconds before blasting a hole through them. They were also having problems maintaining an even detonation of the catalyst. This was just a quick demo to show they solved both those problems.
Those problems were the last difficult technical challenges that needed to be solved before they could start assembling a generator around the reaction chamber. The remaining engineering tasks are fairly trivial, involving construction of the cooling grid, creating and mounting the solar concentrator cell dome, power management, etc.. etc..
The next video BLP releases may very well be of a fully functional prototype self-sustaining generator.

And how many more decades of "it's almost ready" will people put up with before EVERYONE says it's bunk?
25 years (and over $60 MILLION) of "it's almost ready" and, surprise surprise, it STILL DOESN'T WORK.

I'm sure most people know it's bunk by now
