One of the most interesting things on the new Defkalion Green Technologies (DGT) web site is a white paper that gives an overview of the company’s technology and its business plan. It appears that they have carefully thought out how to introduce and proliferate their E-Cat-based technology which will be marketed under the brand name Hyperion. Reading through the white paper some key points regarding the manufacturing and distribution of E-Cat based technology emerge:

What do you think about Andrea Rossi's E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) technology? Game Changer, Stinks of Fraud or just your run of the mill Mad Scientist. Biggest hurdle to me is his credibility, Rossi was convicted and jailed from a previous energy endeavor. Appears to be real... http://defkalion-energy.com/ Odd that US rights are licensed to DOE connected Ampenergo. my guess is too many income streams are impacted and the rollout here will be slow. Appears the media labeled the e-cat to be some type of cold fusion or LENR. Rossi and company are claiming it to be a type of exothermic...

Presented on Thursday, finally, officially, the energy investment project of the Greek company Defkalion Green Technologies SA on the industrial application of scientific discovery of the famous "cold fusion nickel and hydrogen" Italian professors Sergio Foccardi and Andrea Rossi has created great interest internationally. Investing a total budget of 300 to 400 million, includes three industrial units, which will settle in Thrace.. This will produce a massive reactor nickel - hydrogen, the second, based on the reactor will produce household units for heat energy capacity 10 - 30 KW and the third will produce large units 1 - 3 MW....

A Nobel Laureate speaks out on the Energy Catalyzer June 22, 2011 by Ivy Matt Dr. Brian Josephson, winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on superconductivity, has recently released a YouTube video of an interview of himself conducted by Judith Driscoll, Professor of Materials Science at Cambridge University. The stated purpose of the video is to wake up the media to the E-Cat story, which has not been widely reported on in the mainstream media of the English-speaking world. While some cold fusion advocates hypothesize the existence of a conspiracy of silence to suppress news...

With the re-emergence of Cold Fusion Nuclear Reactions and projects like LANR it truly allows for all the partners in America’s Energy Sector to work together to solve the...

Steven B. Krivit of New Energy Times has a Preliminary Report on the Rossi Energy Catalyzer June 17, 2011 Steven B Krivit of New Energy Times blog is visiting Italy to investigate the Rossi and Focardi Energy Catalyzer. The primary validity of the E-Cat trio’s dramatic energy claim is highly contingent on and derived from the heat output which they calculate indirectly from a claimed full or near-full vaporization of 100-degree water to steam. Complete vaporization of 100-degree water into steam requires the complete absence of suspended water droplets in steam. Steve discussed the crucial difference in steam enthalpy calculations...

LENR: Is It Real Or Fake? Wednesday | June 15, 2011 Alan Fletcher has been closely following developments with the Rossi-Focard E-Catalyst process, including attempts to verify its veracity, one approach being to find ways it can be faked. Here, with his permission, is what he has learned so far. Can Rossi and Focardi Be Faking Low Energy Nuclear Reaction? Italian engineer Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi recently announced a “Cold Fusion” device, the “Energy Catalyzer” or eCAT. Its heart is a “fist-sized” reactor chamber, containing Nickel and a secret ingredient, which is loaded with Hydrogen. The reactor is heated...

Experimental test of a mini-Rossi device at the Leonardocorp, Bologna 29 March 2011. Participants: Giuseppe Levi, David Bianchini, Carlo Leonardi, Hanno Essén, Sven Kullander, Andrea Rossi, Sergio Focardi. Travel report by Hanno Essén and Sven Kullander, 3 April 2011. We gathered in the Leonardo Corporation building where the 10 kW apparatus for anomalous energy production by nickel and hydrogen was demonstrated during a press conference on 14th of January. References [1] to [4] for the original papers describing the innovation are listed at the end. In the same building, two CHP facilities were located, based on biodiesel from waste which...

Ny Teknik has investigated the Greek company that supposedly will be the first in Europe to produce the ‘energy catalyzer’, invented by Andrea Rossi. The plan is to start production in 2012, but the investors are still secret. (Swedish version here).With the energy catalyzer – the device that seems to generate energy from an unknown nuclear reaction – the inventor Andrea Rossi is aiming to sell electricity for about one cent per kilowatt hour. It is as cheap as the cost of production for today’s cheapest electricity – existing hydropower.Furthermore heat energy from the energy catalyzer will supposedly cost only...

PESN associate Hank Mills, composed this for PESN. To preserve intellectual property and trade secrets, Andrea Rossi is being forced to design a self destruct mechanism to be built into every E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) used by the public. This could delay the public (non-industrial) launch of the technology. Andrea Rossi's cold fusion E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) technology is based on hard science, but is nothing short of a miracle. It provides a technology that could completely solve the world's energy crisis. The E-Cat consumes tiny amounts of cheap fuel (nickel and hydrogen), and produce huge amounts of energy for long periods...

I've been grappling with whether the Energy Catalyzer that Focardi & Rossi are claiming will go into production in 6 months is a fraud or not. I wandered over to the Energy from Thorium discussion board to see how they are dealing with the latest set of facts, and I find many of their comments constructive to the ongoing debate. So I'm cherry picking some of them below, the ones I found most valuable. I think it's important to preserve this discussion because they have had threads on cold fusion pulled before, and this one is getting heated. various excerpts...

*snip* Then, as you mentioned, in January of this year [Andrea] Rossi, backed by [Sergio] Focardi, who had been working on this for many years, and in fact doing some of the best work worldwide, came out and did a demonstration first in January, they re-did it in February, re-did it in March, where for days they had one of these cells, a small cell, producing in the 10 to 15 kW range which is far more than enough to boil water for tea. And they say this is weak interaction, it’s not fusion. So I think were almost over...

How to Prove that the Rossi/Focardi eCAT LENR is Real Alan Fletcher Version 3.14, April 6, 2011 This document has been updated : please check for the latest version at lenr.qumbu.com 1. Breaking news A new test had just been released, with pictures of a smaller 5KW device with and without shielding and insulation. Swedish physicists on the E-cat: “It’s a nuclear reaction” “In some way a new kind of physics is taking place. It’s enigmatic, but probably no new laws of nature are involved. We believe it is possible to explain the process with known laws of nature,”...

A Chief NASA scientist, Dennis Bushnell has came out in support of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat technology, but denies any type of nuclear fusion is taking place, saying it is probably beta decay per the Widom Larson Theory. Repackaging the terminology to avoid embarrassment will not erase over twenty years of suppression and the reality of cold fusion! Dennis Bushnell is a Chief scientist at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. He is also an inventor, author, and has been a consultant to countless government and military agencies. A few of these include the DOD, Air Force, DARPA, and the...

After several years of apparent inaction, the theme of cold fusion has been recently revitalized thanks to, among others, the work and the scientific publications of Focardi and Rossi, which has been conducted in silence, amidst ironical disinterest, without any funding or support. In fact, recently, practical and reliable results have been achieved based on a very promising apparatus invented by Andrea Rossi. Therefore I want to examine the possibility of further development of this technology, which I deem really important for our planet. Introduction I will start with patent no./2009/125444, registered by Dr. Ing. Andrea Rossi. This invention and...
