Did you see the news about a fellow named 'Chan' reporting independent verification of a home-built E-cat unit? E-catworld.com had a link to the report, which included what appears to be enough detail for anyone to build their own unit.

Naturally this could be a part of a complex con game, but it puts the E-cat into the realm of openly verifiable science. If others can step forward and replicate the results, and are willing to be identified (Chan really needs to do so for this to be worth anything), then it looks like this is for real.

I have to admit I am wondering if I could do something like this in my garage... but messing with propane gas like he described, the questions in the comments section about gamma rays, and the welding are kind of beyond my comfort level. So who wants to be the first Freeper to build an E-cat? ;-)

Note that he is filling his box with fuel (mineral oil) instead of water. Burning that would provide a considerable amount of chemical energy.

He also says, "Noting that excessive copper and iron surprise showed up in the Swedish analysis I stocked powders of both with varies properties." Rossi claimed (unconvincingly, I think) that those were the result of some unknown nuclear transmutation, so he shouldn't need them. Unless, of course, he wants to add them to his "fuel" and claim that they appeared by nuclear syntheses.

There is an interesting observation, based on Rossi's data, over at the Vortex mailing list. [LINK]

Levi stated that they need 18Kg to run the 100MW E-Cat for six months, which works out to 100g per day.

However, according to Rossi's data, they only loaded 1.7g into the 1MW E-Cat for the October 28th test.

Also, they loaded 1.5g into the small E-Cat for the October 6th test, so apparently the small single E-Cat device used the same amount of Hydrogen as all 107 of them in the cargo container on the 28th.

She also notes that the weight of the Hydrogen cylinder after using it for the October 6th test is only 0.4g more than the weight of the Hydrogen cylinder before using it for the October 28th test.

Unless Rossi has multiple Hydrogen cylinders that just happen to weigh the same to within 0.0029%, it must have been the same cylinder, Unless Rossi has a special Hydrogen cylinder he uses only for public demonstrations, it appears that he didn't use any Hydrogen at all for the 3+ weeks in between the two public demos.
