It’s Official US Startup Admits to Purchasing Rossi’s E-cat LENR Technology Published January 25, 2014 | By jennifer
A North Carolina based company called Industrial Heat LLC has come out and admitted that it now owns Andrea Rossi’s ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology. Industrial Heat has put out a press release in which it confirmed rumors that it had spent $11 million to purchase Rossi’s device.

The press release also confirmed speculation that Tom Darden of Cherokee Investment Partners a North Carolina equity fund is a principal investor in Industrial heat. It stated that one of Darden’s associates J.T. Vaughn is the manager of Industrial Heat LLC. Industrial Heat LLC is based in the Research Triangle region around Raleigh, North Carolina where many technology companies have operations. Cherokee’s website describes Vaughn as a Senior Analyst at the firm.

Vaughn said that his company had acquired the intellectual property rights to the Ecat in the press release. Vaughn and Darden were convinced of the Ecat’s authenticity by a report prepared by physics professors Guiseppe Levi, Hanno Essen, Ronald Petterson, Torbojorn Hartman, Bo Hoistad, Roland Pettersson and Lars Tegner. The scientists tested the ecat in December 2012 and March 2013 and observed its operations. Vaughn and Darden also had an unidentified independent expert exam the ecat before investing their money in it.
The press release stated that Industrial Heat has prepared numerous patent applications to protect ecat technology but wouldn’t’ elaborate. The release didn’t say if any of these applications have been filed or not.
“The world needs a new, clean and efficient energy source,” Vaugh said of his reasons for acquiring Ecat in the press release. “Such a technology would raise the standard of living in developing countries and reduce the environmental impact of producing energy.”

The press release stated that Industrial Heat wants to enter into partnerships with other companies, universities and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) to develop LENR technology. It didn’t identify any of these partners or mention any specific uses for Ecat technology.
Predictably and sadly the cold fusion skeptics have already started attacking Industrial Heat. The Gizmodo blog is claiming that Darden and Vaughn were bamboozled and bought a reactor that might not actually work. Typically the skeptics provide absolutely no proof for their accusations they just make them and hope nobody questions their statements. Those who criticize Rossi for not verifying claims turn around and do exactly the same thing.

Vaughn and Darden seem like hardhead and sensible businessmen who have done their homework. They actually looked into Ecat and got the facts before investing. Gizmodo mentions Rossi’s criminal conviction but doesn’t mention the involvement of distinguished professors such as Guiseppe Levi in the ecat project.
Industrial Heat’s confirmation is very good news, despite the skeptics. It’s the biggest investment so far in cold fusion and it proves there are far sighted businessmen interested in commercializing this important technology. Hopefully Industrial Heat will be able to commercialize the Ecat and looking into other LENR devices such as those at Brillouin.
“***No. It was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT demonstration by a person COMPLETELY UNRELATED to National Instruments. “
Uh. .. It was in the same city at the same time at the same show...
AND ....
National Instruments NEVER made a LENR demonstration.
Uh. .. It was in the same city at the same time at the same show...
***No, idiot. I pointed you to 150 replications, not just one. The only thing in common between NI and the guy you’re shooting down is that they both happened to be mentioned in Krivit’s article. Geez, what an incredible loon you are. Reading comprehension problems, aggressive stupidity, idiotic egotism, bandwagon joining, and an adam henry... all wrapped up in one pasquinade poster. You’re like the trifecta of trolls.
National Instruments NEVER made a LENR demonstration.
***Go ahead and look through this thread and see where I EVER made such a claim. Ever. Did I? NOPE. So, you arguing AGAINST it is just yet another classic fallacy of propping up a straw man so you can argue against it, the straw argument. Gee, you’ve managed to tilt all the indicators of stupidity and have them all point to you. Stuck on Stupid. That’s you.
“No, idiot. I pointed you to 150 replications, not just one.”
I asked you to point to one and you pointed to this one.
“The only thing in common between NI and the guy you’re shooting down is that they both happened to be mentioned in Krivit’s article.”
Not shooting the guy down .... Just quoting him (the demonstrator) that there was no net energy gain calculation due to lack of calibration.
I asked I asked you to point to one and you pointed to this one. you to point to one and you pointed to this one.
***no... no... NO. Again, NO. I pointed to those 150 replications, and YOU pointed to that one you wanted to shoot down. You’re one of those skeptopaths who could look across the sky and fail to see the sun.
Not shooting the guy down .... Just quoting him (the demonstrator)
***Then you do not deny that he had NOTHING to do with National Instruments. NOTHING. That’s about as straw as a straw argument gets. It also shows how much of an adam henry you’ve been, consistent with your behavior earlier on in the thread. You’re a real peach as an AH*BW joiner.
Uh. .. It was in the same city at the same time at the same show..
***What an amazing connection you’ve so tenuously generated. That’s like saying you’re from Texas, and if God had meant Texans to ski he would have made bullshiite white, so you obviously don’t know how to ski. Yup. That’s you. Stuck on stupid.
“Then you do not deny that he had NOTHING to do with National Instruments. NOTHING. “
That is what I said. He was the LENR demonstrator. NI did NOT do the demonstration. He did and he said there was no net energy calculation due to lack of calibration.
“Uh. .. It was in the same city at the same time at the same show..
***What an amazing connection you’ve so tenuously generated. “
How many LENR demonstration are there on each day in each city at the same convention. I think a connection can be made that it was the same demonstration.
You could connect Obama to right wing conservatism with your intellect.
You’re so far off into the weeds that you’re a member of the Fugarwe tribe.
One knows he has won the argument when the other side (you) resorts only to personal attacks.
Go ahead, declare victory. Your idiotic intellect demands it. Of course it has nothing to do with the TRUTH, but that hasn’t stopped you and never will.
” Of course it has nothing to do with the TRUTH”
Are you implying that the LENR demonstrator I quoted is LYING?
Geez. If you can’t trust a LENR scammer, who the heck can you trust.
I’m implying that you are lying. But it is not just an implication. It is direct. You are lying. You have as casual a relationship with the truth as Obama does.
...trust...LENR fanboy instead, you stupid goony poopy-pants seagull.
I just looked upthread and realized that, even though it has been a lot of fun ridiculing you as a pasquinade, I owe you an apology because I had asked you to stop posting to me and I had decided to stop posting to you.
So, back on that track, please stop posting to me.
“So, back on that track, please stop posting to me”
I did but after a week of not posting to you, I had several new posts from you.
“You are lying. “
Just quoting those LENR dudes. If it’s a lie, then take it up with your dudes.
