LENR Cars CEO Responds to Investor Questions

LENR Cars CEO Responds to Investor Questions December 12, 2013 • 11 Comments

A few weeks ago we covered the LENR Cars pitch to be selected as a finalist in the Future Energy contest from Ultra Light Startups. The application process involves the ability to respond to questions from potential investors, and LENR Cars CEO Nicolas Chauvin has provided some additional information about his company in responses posted here.

When asked about whether LENR Cars has built a prototype LENR system, Chauvin responds:

“Yes, We have built 3 prototypes of 2 different kinds: - 1 with an electrolytic process where hydrogen is extracted from water - 2 with gaseous hydrogen at low pressure (30 psi)

We are currently building a third type of design based on nickel nano-powder and hydrogen at medium pressure (150 psi).

Currently, we can produce between 10-15 Watt from the reaction for more than one month in a continuous and stable manner. With the new design, we expect to scale the power up between 500W and 1kW.

We are also collaborating with other teams in the US that have similar or better results. And we are sharing some ideas.”

Also, when asked about customers LENR Cars has consulted for, he says there are 5 that customers that have paid for consulting services in the LENR field:

- “Confidential”: a large European industrial company (under NDA, we cannot mention them). - SIG: a Swiss utility company - Moravsky Vyzkum: a Czech high tech robotics and energy company - Quantum Heat: a partner company developing this technology in collaboration with us - Transaltec: a Swiss company organizing conferences

Below is a short video pitch from Nicolas Chauvin for the Future Energy contest.

Making hydrogen? Like electrolysis?

Really?

From the article:

I read that.

Hydrogen would obviously work as a fuel for an internal combustion motor or a fuel cell-electric motor.

Hydrogen seems to be better generated by electrolysis than heat.

IF these guys have some sort of CF reaction going on, what are they using to perform work - heat or some from of electricity generation?

It does not say in this particular article... but they

applied for a patent to use LENR to power electric vehicles: https://www.google.com/patents/US20130263597

This seems to be a common stumbling block. They get anomalous heat and try to scale it up and it doesn't work. Maybe they solved the issue and if they did, it would mean they should understand the physics and that's worth a whole lot.

***Many have noticed this. One of the things that happens is greed. The guys get anomalous heat, attract attention and see a HUGE market. Their investors bring the warmth of expectation onto the process and my guess is that this is what causes more trouble than anything else. You can’t dictate technical revolution.

Maybe they solved the issue and if they did, it would mean they should understand the physics and that’s worth a whole lot.
***Well said. It basically means that they do NOT understand the physics, because it’s thoroughly complicated. Inductively, that would mean the guy who has the most time on point with anomalous heat devices would be the one who knows which theories are more suited. Guess who that would be? When Krivit was shown that the evidence for the Widom-Larson theory wasn’t there, that’s when he went stone cold against Rossi. It’s right on the video. (unfortunately I can’t find the video).

Another con artist with shares to sell, but not a working device.

The research continues....and continues to attract interested parties.

"The research continues....and continues to attract interested parties."

Who then get taken like grandma with dementia, burned out, and tossed aside. There are less and less people interested in this scam.

Yeah, right /s Toyota & Mitsubishi are in on this, and it’s proof that there are less & less people interested in LENR? Baloney.

You said “It works!” several years ago, yet it still doesn’t.

You said Rossi would show proof of his cold fusion machine working several years ago, he still hasn’t.

You said several years ago that we would all get to see the products soon, we still haven’t.

You said several years ago that Rossi was producing his product by the thousands, we all know that to be a lie.

You make all kinds of wild assed claims that we know not to be true when you make them, but, yet, even after plenty of time has passed you still say stupid shit like this.

This thread isn’t about Rossi. You’ve shown yourself to be not only anti-Rossi (understandable) but very anti-LENR and simply anti-science. In all this time you have never contributed to the furtherance of the science behind the claims, if even to refute them. That makes you worthless as a participant on these threads.

Thanks for bumping the thread T4BTT

Oh and BTW, almost all that garbage that you say I said I DID NOT SAY. Posting an article about something isn’t saying the same thing it says. Get over yourself.

You said it all. FR has all of it for anyone to go back and look at your posting history. You are a notorious liar in that you say something then immediately claim you never said it. We’ve caught your red handed multiple times.

If you want to use FR as your personal cold fusion blog then you might want to wise up, stop lying, and grow thicker skin. I’ll be here to spotlight your antics.

You said it all.
***Bowlsheet.

FR has all of it for anyone to go back and look at your posting history.
***And I welcome and encourage just such an action. In the past I challenged you to generate support for exactly this same thing and you did NOTHING. You are completely off yer nut on this.

You are a notorious liar
***Prove it. Find those posts you suggest are so easy to find. You didn’t last time, you won’t do it this time, because you can’t. You’re the liar here.

in that you say something then immediately claim you never said it. We’ve caught your red handed multiple times.
***Then it should be EASY for you to provide links. You won’t. Because you can’t. Because you’re a liar.

If you want to use FR as your personal cold fusion blog then you might want to wise up, stop lying,
***Prove all these lies. It should be easy.

and grow thicker skin. I’ll be here to spotlight your antics.
***On normal FR threads, antics such as what you have just exhibited (calling a FReeper a liar and not backing it up) would be cause for a timeout. For some reason, LENR skeptopaths get a free pass on the forum rules. Go ahead, post where I supposedly lied so many times. You didn’t do it the last time you accused me of this, you won’t do it now. The only thing you’ve ever done on these threads is post a stupid graphic, and you can’t even back up your claims when it comes to showing it is a scam. Gee, you’re despicable.

We’ve been beating you up on these scam threads for years. It takes a real idiot, liberal minded really, to think there is this memory hole that all you have to do is deny saying things and no one will remember.

Your credibility is zero.
