Psst! Wanna Buy Some eCat Juice? June 10, 2013 http://ecatnews.com/?p=2578 Hydro Fusion, the Swedish license holders for Andrea Rossi’s eCat is making an interesting offer to entice a potential Swedish customer to test the water and act as a showcase for the technology. I’m not sure what to think of this. On the one hand it is interesting but I cannot help wonder why such a complicated dance would be required if the device simply worked as advertised. Potential customers could send their own engineers to Rossi to check the system out prior to buying. Why is it so hard? I put the development under Interesting and Confusing Wanted: Pilot Customer for ECAT 1 MW plant 10 Jun 2013/in News/by adminHydro Fusion is looking for a Pilot Customer for the first ECAT 1 MW Plant to operate in Sweden. The customer will only pay for the energy produced by the ECAT, i.e. Hydro Fusion and Leonardo Corporation will take responsibility for all associated costs including: the plant itself, installation and any transportation costs. In return the Pilot Customer agrees upon •Scheduled Installation time by late fall 2013. •Hydro Fusion and Leonardo Corporation to use the Pilot Plant as a Showcase where external customers can be introduced to an ECAT 1 MW in operation. Hydro Fusion is open to any type of heat application given the restriction of a maximum 120 C temperature. The ECAT’s energy specifications are: •Heat energy is produced according to specs. ◦Heat energy 1 MW thermal at up to 120 C ◦Heat exchanger from ECAT system to customer heat application. •Electricity is consumed according to specs. ◦250 kWe maximum power consumption ◦166 kWe average power consumption, i.e. COP=6 Hydro Fusion would like to receive quotations from Pilot Customers on both thermal MWh price and electric MWh price, based on an assumption of 7,000+ operating hours per year. Please specify clearly if your quotes depend on the outdoor temperature. Pilot Customers, with an interest in this game changing technology, are kindly asked to contact us at info@hydrofusion.com. Please write “Pilot Customer” in the subject of the email. For more info see, ECAT 1 MW Plant. [With thanks to Harry Veeder on Vortex]

You should both be aware that as of this Autumn a commercial 1MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Pilot Plant, that has already been certified for industrial (staff to look after it) use, will be running in Sweden as a Showcase:

You should further be aware that an improved version of technology has been tested by an independent group of international Scientists Universities and organisations. Their pre publication report is available from various sources such as Los Alamos Labs here:
http://xxx.lanl.gov/ftp/arxiv/papers/1305/1305.3913.pdf

And here at Cornell University Library
http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.3913

The report is still going through peer review with corrections and queries from peer reviewers before formal publication.

This picture gives you an idea of the current power output that the scientists from Sweden and Italy verified with the E-Cat HT:

There are plans for a more detailed 6 Month test of the of the latest version which is even more powerful.

Meanwhile the European Parliament is discussing LENR/Cold Fusion/The Fleischman-Pons effect:

Lots of stuff happening now, get ready for a major US anouncement! :)
