I received this today from my friend. He is a doctor, and was a senior scientist at Sandia Labs. He is also a big energy conservation guy, and pays attention to all the news.

I have read several reports of the E-Cat test done in Bologna, Italy yesterday, and have come away completely unimpressed. The demonstration is a series of hidden measurements, none of which can be verified. More to the point, the easiest and most direct evidence that the device “worked “ would simply be to heat a pool of stationary water whose temperature can easily be measured and whose mass is known. Instead, the “inventor” chose to use moving water and steam as evidence of net energy production, making it simply impossible to verify.
Looks like a big scam to me. If the inventor really wanted to show the world what he had done he would have not only used a difficult-to-fake energy measurement (that is, heating water) but also include radiation measurements from inside the mysterious apparatus to show that nuclear effects were taking place. The inventor claims he didn’t do these things because this wasn’t so much a public demonstration, but rather one to convince his investor that the device did what he claims it will do, and as such he didn’t want to reveal anything to potential competitors (or, of course, to the conventional energy interests who would move to squash the results if they were truly convincing).
No need to abandon liquid fossil fuels yet.
Which seems to be a problem for some.
