ABSTRACT

New results are presented from an extended experimental investigation of anomalous heat production in a special type of reactor tube operating at high temperatures. The reactor, named E-Cat, is charged with a small amount of hydrogen-loaded nickel powder plus some additives, mainly Lithium. The reaction is primarily initiated by heat from resistor coils around the reactor tube. Measurements of the radiated power from the reactor were performed with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras. The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large bandwidth three-phase power analyzer. Data were collected during 32 days of running in March 2014. The reactor operating point was set to about 1260 ºC in the first half of the run, and at about 1400 °C in the second half. The measured energy balance between input and output heat yielded a COP factor of about 3.2 and 3.6 for the 1260 ºC and 1400 ºC runs, respectively. The total net energy obtained during the 32 days run was about 1.5 MWh. This amount of energy is far more than can be obtained from any known chemical sources in the small reactor volume.

A sample of the fuel was carefully examined with respect to its isotopic composition before the run and after the run, using several standard methods: XPS, EDS, SIMS, ICP-MS and ICP-AES. The isotope composition in Lithium and Nickel was found to agree with the natural composition before the run, while after the run it was found to have changed substantially. Nuclear reactions are therefore indicated to be present in the run process, which however is hard to reconcile with the fact that no radioactivity was detected outside the reactor during the run.

This was not a production run. This was a demonstration that it is possible to create non-trivial amounts of energy through methods that contemporary physicists certainly don't understand and for the most part actively deny.

No one (except maybe Rossi and his colleagues) knows whether this can be economically competitive at scale -- but that was true when Edison finally got his light bulb working reliably.

The qualitative result of this study is very solid. Forget all the calculations about energy output. Just compare the E-Cat body temperatures in Tables 3 and 6.

With the "dummy reactor", the reactor with electrical current running through it but no fuel (nickel, lithium, hydrogen), the measured temperature of the reactor body was 410-460 degrees C. (Table 3, Column 3, Areas 1-10).

When the same reactor was run with the same electrical current. but now with the fuel present, the measured temperature of the reactor body was 1240-1410 degrees C (Table 6, Column 2).

The only thing that maintained an Celsius temperature difference of 800-900 degrees over a period of 32 days was the one gram of fuel.

Unless there is evidence of fraud, this is pretty compelling evidence that something new is going on.

Fantastic. I look forward to seeing them for sale soon.
