Andrea Rossi November 21st, 2011 at 11:25 PM Dear Felipe From Chile: You are right, we are organizing this. BY THE WAY: WE COLLECT FROM NOW THE NAMES OF ALL THE PERSONS OR ENITITES INTERESTED TO BUY AN E-CAT OF 10 KW. IF WE WILL REACH 10,000 NAMES IN THE LIST, THE PERSONS IN THE WAITING LIST WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONFIRM OR NOT THEIR ORDER AT 400 EURO/THERMAL KW. DO NOT SEND MONEY, WE WILL ACCEPT THE ORDERS ONLY IF WE WILL REACH 10,000 NAMES IN THE WAITING LIST, COMBINING OUR LIST WITH THE WAITING LIST ORGANIZED BY OUR BROTHERS OF HYDROFUSION . WARM REGARDS, ANDREA ROSSI, LEONARDO CORP. (PRESIDENT)
Felipe from Chile November 21st, 2011 at 9:26 PM Mr Rossi, Having followed you for many months I decided to ask you a minor question, my apologies if it has been answered before. Since I am not a business man, I think one of the way to support your endevour is to become a qualified e-cat technician. In this context, Does your company have (or will have in the near future) training program for setup and maintenance of e-cat technology?. I think you will require qualified staff around the world pretty soon.
Sincerely,
Felipe Ochoa
Oh no, this sounds like Black Light Power's hydrino theory:
Their website. The guy running it is named Dr. Randell L. Mills.
He really is an MD and also has a BA in Chemistry and he's been pushing this for well over a decade. He even has a grand unified theory. He's got millions invested, even power companies that supposedly are buying systems from him but he can't seem to get it to work.
He's got millions invested, even power companies that supposedly are buying systems from him but he can't seem to get it to work.Hmm... Are they "secret" companies, by any chance?
I have several patents (five) and also license trade secrets and could care less if his patents teach you how to make it.Maybe you don't care, but the Patent Office does. You can't patent what you don't disclose in your application.
Rossi's application will almost certainly be rejected, since it contains nothing new. So, Rossi won't have any Patent protection because he won't have a Patent. Even if this Patent is accepted, it won't protect his "cold fusion" secrets, since they aren't disclosed in the Patent.
So, again, why did Rossi decide to start selling his gadget without any legal protection, immediately after spending a year refusing to let any independent experts to examine it? What has changed since the end of October to allow him to stop worrying about someone "stealing" his intellectual property?
I don't know that 30% is possible within the current stated capabilities of the E-Cat (hence my point about the current stated maximum usage temperature). But there are plenty of different working fluids (from SO2 to ammonia to freons) that are quite capable of converting even low grade heat (<100 C) into electricity by a liquid-to-vapor expansion cycle driving either a piston or turbine engine/genset.
Conversion efficiencies will be lousy, but we already live with that with our cars and trucks.
I posted a link to a home/small business sized genset series (10KW to 100KW) based on such a cycle on one of these threads (and no, I'm not going to chase down the link again).
Look up OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) for an example of one proposed LARGE scale usage of such.
I didn’t ask you for a list of lower efficiency and well-known methods of electricity generation—I asked you to explain how Rossi was going to convert 30% of his heat to electricity.
I will take your non-answer as an admission on your part that it’s not possible with current tech.
"I will take your non-answer as an admission on your part that its not possible with current tech."
And I answered you. Are you simply incapable of understanding even simple technical issues??
WTF are you talking about???
I agree. There's a lot of people who thing BLP has something, they just don't think it's hydrinos. They are working with Rowan University to prove their theory.
