Here’s Rossi’s one megawatt plant

Here’s Rossi’s one megawatt plant

Here it is: the plant that according to inventor Andrea Rossi will produce one megawatt of thermal energy via an unknown reaction in his ‘energy catalyzer’. The plant is now being shipped to the United States.

Ny Teknik got a look at the plant last week in Bologna, where it had been assembled from parts supposedly manufactured in Rossis’s factory in Miami, Florida.
The plant consists of 52 ‘E-cats’ of a new model that Rossi says he developed this spring, partly through discussions with the Swedish physicists Sven Kullander and Hanno Essen, mainly regarding research done by Hidetsugu Ikegami, a professor emeritus at Osaka University in Japan.
The plant was supposed originally to consist of 100 units of an early model, rated at a power output of ten kilowatts. When manufacturing started Rossi stated that he instead chose a smaller, more stable model with a power of about three kilowatts, and that 300 such units would then be used.
In July, Rossi changed his mind after claiming to have reached 27 kilowatts of power output with the latest model, then discarded the previously manufactured units.
The 52 units were mounted in four rows along both sides of a 20-foot container. On the front of each unit is a valve for filling hydrogen, as well as electrical connections to the electric resistance used to ‘ignite’ the reaction.
Steam outlet hoses are connected to a single isolated thick tube that runs along both sides and ends on the outside of the container’s short side.
On the outside is a water pump for water intake.
The plant was initially scheduled to be transported to Greece for the opening in October, in co-operation with the Greek company Defkalion Green Technologies.
After Rossi’s breach of contract with Defkalion in August and after Rossi had established contacts with an American customer, the container is now instead being shipped to the United States.
According to Rossi, the launch is scheduled as planned in October, and will be controlled by a “very important entity” in the U.S. At the launch a complementary part will be included to attain a power-output rating of one megawatt, as the 52 units will be operated at reduced power levels to ensure stability even at intervals with self-sustained operation.
Ny Teknik assisted at a recent test of the new model running in self-sustained mode – read our report here.

Its okay to give some credit. It is a shipping container not a dumpster. Even I can see that.

This will immediately be sabatoged by our Muslim President. Destroying the energy sector is key in the Muslim plans to destroy the United States.

I think Obama will rush to take credit for it.

It reminds me of the old Flash Gordon sets.

It reminds me of Westinghouse 7300 protection cabinets.

I guess it can’t go prompt critical, no 17 DPM startup rates when the RO is having a bad hair day.

This is just like the Wizard of Oz...everything is behind the curtain.

The picture of the blue box is really impressive........but you have to buy it before you can see what’s in it. Sound familiar?

I am still waiting for DOCUMENTED and PHOTOGRAPHED (or video) proof that this thing works. I think I will have to wait a very long time (if ever) to see that.

Rossi not= Galt.

Didn’t John Galt create a “world changing” power source, and then drop out of sight?

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if this thing actually works?

I think it’s a shipping container. Actually, I’m almost positive.

It’s like a server farm, only producing power rather than using it. I can’t wait to see the i-Ecat from Apple.

From the article:

According to Rossi, the launch is scheduled as planned in October, and will be controlled by a “very important entity” in the U.S.

Energy czar Steven Chu may already be on top of it (he was reported to be investigating "cold fusion" back in June), and Obama may try to ride this to re-election. Heck, Soros probably owns the rights to it by now.

This can not be taken as anything other than a very encouraging development.

Either Rossi is a fool and has filled a “dumpster” with some plastic suitcases.

Or Rossi thinks some corporation will be fool enough will pay millions for his scam filled dumpster.

Or maybe this is the real deal being shipped in mid September that will be operational in October as promised. This solution, is actually the logical conclusion.
