E-Cat cold fusion demonstration a success

Andrea Rossi has demonstrated his E-Cat cold fusion device at the University of Bologna in Italy.
Rossie's E-Cat device promises practically unlimited clean energy through a low-grade nuclear reaction. "What Rossi demonstrated was 470 kilowatts of continuous output in self-sustain mode -- meaning the output was enough to keep the thing running on its own," said Sterling Allan, CEO of Pure Energy Systems.

An unknown buyer had agreed to purchase the device if Rossi was able to demonstrate that it worked successfully, it is believed that the customer may be a military organisation such as the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems unit.
A physicist in Italy claims to have demonstrated a new type of power plant that provides safe, cheap and virtually unlimited nuclear power to the world, without fossil fuels or radiation concerns.

Interesting. I thought he said previously the people for the Bologna test were Americans (USA). That would mean the US Military is the first customer. Yet he also said it would be tried in a industrial setting. I might be ignorant somewhat, but I don't beleive the US military actually builds anything, it just buys contractor stuff. So, that would mean they plan on a contractor using these e-cat generators. y. The US military builds things, alright. But for stuff like this they buy and test. Period. I have been through a number of these projects and what they like, they grab, what they don't, w... [More]

more news Brian Josephson, Nobel prize winner for physics in 1973, highlights the UK energy departement (DECC) interest in Andrea Rossi's E-Cat and invites the inventor to reconsider the idea of a scientific test. A new piece in the puzzle of Rossi's E-Cat, which is said to be able to produce power with a cold fusion reaction: UK energy departement (DECC) has taken an interest in this tecnology, and might even plan "further action", under some conditions. In the exclusive open letter we publish here, Brian Josephson, physicist, who stands by Rossi since the beginning, invites him to reconsider... [More]

I don't know what the fellow has and I am sceptical on it being "cold fusion". This doesn't mean a heat producing reaction is not occuring however. Being that his intent is to control this idea and make money on it, it would be business suicide to make the knowledge of the process public domain, which is what is being asked. If I were a potential customer, I would require a very convencing test and some sort of bond. If it produces more energy than it consumes and the cost is not prohibitive, then it could be a good source of energy regardless of what it is called. Mark

Being that his intent is to control this idea and make money on it, it would be business suicide to make the knowledge of the process public domain, which is what is being asked. There is a difference between making knowledge ``public'' and making it ``public domain''. As far as I know, all of Rossi's critics want him to reveal how E-Cat works, i.e. make the knowledge ``public''. If he patents his process, he is making the knowledge ``public'' without allowing others to profit freely from it, is he not? As it stands, all Rossi has is a trade secret... which I think is unenforceable. If someone... [More]

In other words, the DECC know of the field, know of Mr. Rossi's device and essentially have no interest in it. I can only guess, but I know where I would hinge my bet on why that is. Cheers, Badeskov I didn't get that from the letters quoted at all. It appears they are interested or wouldn't bother writting a letter at all or requesting more information. What I see is normal prudence in forcing the seller to produce proof of value first, over handing over some millions of dollars with no guarantees. All this on some very hedgy language on Rossi's part concerning what is happening and what the ... [More]

E-Cat and cold fusion: Andrea Rossi replies to Nobel prize winner Brian Josephson Brian Josephson joins Francesco Celani's call for further scientific tests of Andera Rossi's E-Cat, but Rossi has different plans. A few days ago, an eminent italian physicist asked Focus to host an open letter to Andrea Rossi to call for a scientific test of his device. Then it was Nobel prize winner Brian Josephson turn to stress the importance of such a test: it wouldn't just satisfy some scientist's curiosity, it would benefit Rossi himself. But in the inventor's ideas, the market itself will test the E-Cat. ... [More]

Rossi is still going with his E-Cat. http://coldfusion3.com/blog/rossi-reveals-schedule-for-ecat-rollout-and-discusses-warranties-etc Posts at Rossi’s blog reveal the schedule he wants to follow if everything goes well. The schedule is as follows:1.February construction of robotized ecat factory probably located in the USA begins. Note the location for this has not been revealed. 2.March and April Rossi will unveil or begin work on a 1MW industrial ecat water heater. 3.November testing of the production line for 10 KW home ecat heating systems begins. 4.December sales of 10 KW ecat systems t...
