This is the first I've heard of this but it bodes well.

I thought we weren’t allowed to examine it because this Rossi guy didn’t have a patent.

The last news I saw about the E-Cat was that Rossi had an offer from some prestigious American university to test his claims.

Haven’t seen anything on whether he allowed that testing or not.

So to recap on this, Rossi is saying that at this moment there are 97 e-cats installed and working accross 4 different countries, with some already installed in the businesses of trusted individuals

Trusted? Sounds more like phantom to me. If there are 97 installations, there would have to be businesses willing to come forward with a testimonial saying the product is working. That is just basic business sense, has nothing to do with the technology.

When Rossi publishes names of companies, and reporters can go to those businesses, see the devices in operation and interview the owners as to the effectiveness of the devices, it will be believable. Until then, it is snake oil.

This Rossi guy has got to be a huckster. Why is he going to the media instead of engineers and scientists?

I've been following it. Will rank with other major discoveries like the wheel if true.

If it sounds too good to be true...

It has a bit of a Rube Goldberg look to it...

There may be 97 e-cats, but there is only one e-coyote. He is very wily. (Apologies to Pablo).

I’m going to WalMart later today, I’ll let everyone know if I see any. Would they be in Automotive, Housewares or with the tools?

I will volunteer to test a unit at my home, and provide a full unbiased report in six months time. If it is what you say it is, I will buy it.

It does bode well. He has untis out apparently for long term use to test them in a very quiet manner.

This guy is not an internet charlatan but appears to be someone who is interested to make this technology, whatever it is, work.

I would keep an eye on him and his company. He is not the usual “run your car with water” kind of entrepreneur.

“A commercially viable cold fusion technology which is going into full production later this year.”

Still plenty of time to invest!

My 88 year old uncle has been chasing these kinds of energy generators his whole life. The next miraculous thing(made of hardware store plumbing parts and aluminum foil) is always just about to emerge in the next few months and change the world.

We’ll see.

IF this is real, and that’s a HUGE “IF,” the Arabs can eat their oil!

Apparently he has had actual scientists look at it. And he’s not soliciting funds from regular Joes. Then again, he’s being awfully secretive! Kinda smells. Jury still out, though.

For the doubters: Cold Fusion (or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction) is a fact. Papers have been submitted attesting to positive results from many labs over many years, including the U.S. Navy and Los Alamos. The only problem to solve has been the steady repeatability. Even if Rossi hasn't found the key it's just a matter of time until somebody does. It is apparently a normal outcome to get a 30-1 energy output to input ratio, cheaply.

The on-line database at LENR-CANR.org lists 3,400 papers on cold fusion written by 4,688 authors and co-authors, as of April 2006. Most of these papers have been positive, and none of the authors has benefited financially or otherwise. On the contrary, many of them have seen their careers stalled or ruined because they pursue this research. So there does not appear to be any motive to commit fraud, and it would be difficult for roughly 4,000 people to commit fraud and keep this fact secret.

The Obamas of the world will have to ban it or lose control of the sheeple. This is going to be a terrific problem for them. Here is the new technology they so claim they want but really don't. Best news I have read since Obama was elected.

It will be banned by Obama because he’ll claim it will threaten economic stability.

If so, the situation will closely resemble what happened when Edison proposed an electric generator more than 90% efficient. At the same time that he was being criticized in scientific journals and told he needed basic lessons in electricity and that what he proposed would never work, being contrary to the laws of nature, he already had these generators up and running.

Looks as if Rossi has got a working winner.
