When Two Tribes Go To War FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2011 In case you didn't know, World War 3 started this year. Not China and America, but 2 much bigger foes who wouldn't last 2 seconds in a lift together without handbagging each other to death for simply exchanging glances. Yes, we are talking about the "special" relationship between New Energy Times's Steven B Krivit and Italian Cold Fusion supremo, Andrea Rossi. Last week in the third episode of Shock and Awe, Krivit fired his latest salvo of tactical nukes at a defiant Rossi. With all the anticipation of waiting...

An A.R. Editorial INNOVATION IS THE ONE WAY OUT OF OUR DEBT CRISIS by Joe Shea AR Correspondent Bradenton, Fla. BRADENTON, July 16, 2011 -- I was asked at McDonald's this morning by a few older guys how America could possibly ever recover from a $14-trillion debt load that already eats up 6 percent of our nation's budget. I was able to reply in a single word. "Innovation" is that word When was the last time America enjoyed a balanced budget? Under Bill Clinton in 2000, the Internet's extraordinary usefulness for everyone from a giant investment bank to a...

Beware the Unveiling of the 1 MW Reactor in October For months those of us watching the E-Cat story unfold have been eagerly looking forward to the last week in October and the unveiling of the first 1 megawatt thermal reactor at Defkalion's factory in Greece. Andrea Rossi has steadfastly refused to provide more public evidence for the reality of the E-cat, pointing instead to the 1 MW reactor operation as the proof everyone should be waiting for. Skeptics and believers alike have cited this date as well, indicating that we will all know by the end of October whether...

(Visit link for full report - it is broken down into many sub-links. The following is from the Introduction) Issue 37 of New Energy Times focuses entirely on the story of an Italian man, Andrea Rossi, who appears to live in Florida, and his extraordinary energy claim. His brief biography in English is here and in Italian is here. A German Web site called Eso Watch has collected a great deal of information about Rossi. Appendix 36 provides information about his criminal history in Italy. Rossi claims to have invented a phenomenal low-energy nuclear reaction device. He claims not only...

Brian Josephson, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, asked a question on Andrea Rossi’s blog about the quality of the 1MW demonstration in October. He has been a defender of true research in the LENR field, frequently challenging debunkers to back up their objections with logic instead of repeating the same one-sided attacks so often a signature of pseudosceptics. In answer, Rossi invited him to the test. I am assuming that the question did come from Josephson but there is no doubt that the invite is real: Brian Josephson July 30th, 2011 at 4:17 AM October demo Andrea, You’ve said the 1MW...

THE FUSION REVOLUTION - http://renewable.50webs.com/fusion.html - When the first human animal figured out how to make fire at will, life on earth changed forever. The fictional character Sherlock Holmes once said that "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." Using that logic, I have come to the conclusion that fossil fuels will soon become obsolete, and human history will again be dramatically altered. A total switchover to fusion power will take decades, but basic economics tells us that fusion reactors will win in the marketplace over their more costly competitors. Imagine a...

Rossi – Let the eCat Speak For Itself admin on July 29, 2011 — 2 Comments Replying to a comment by ‘Dwayne’ on his blog, Andrea Rossi (rather elegantly considering the language issues) explains why he ignores the calls for more ‘proof’. We have heard it before but this is one of the longest posts I’ve seen him make except in anger. I would guess that he has heard about Krivit’s impending report and this has sharpened his feelings for the subject. With such a short time between now and the 1MW demo, I find such calls puzzling. People want...

More on Nichenergy Uncategorized by Frank (admin) We have recently learned of another company that has been established to commercialize technology based on a nickel-hydrogen reaction, Nichenergy. This company is founded by Francesco Piantelli and some of his associates and appears to be gearing up to compete with Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat technology. A thread was recently started at the Italian site Energetic Ambiente by Roy Virgilio who attended the July 23 meeting about cold fusion in Viareggio in which he reports on the plans and progress of Nichenergy. He begins his thread with a status report about Nichenergy. I am...

Much is made about the lack of proof when trying to place Andrea Rossi’s eCat on the reality spectrum. In a scientific sense, that is oh-so-true for those without the privilege of being on the inside of things. No scientist should take anecdotal evidence as word and, since we tend to look to them for guidance, it’s no surprise that their objections are sounded loud and clear. In their business, nothing else matters but absolute, bomb-proof facts (doubly so for something labelled as ‘junk science’). In a recent post I suggested that a scientist’s conclusion should be that there is...

The Rossi ECat may be important in the fulfillment of the end times prophecies of Ezekiel. Consider the following: From Ezekiel 39:9-10a 9 “‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10 They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. Now think about this - Modern weapons are...

Low Energy Nuclear Reactions for Green Energy How weak interactions can provide sustainable nuclear energy and revolutionize the energy industry Lewis Larsen A fully referenced version of this article is posted on ISIS members’ website. Details here Existing nuclear power generation depends on ‘strong interaction' that splits atoms. The technologies were directly derived from nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi's experimental work in Chicago , USA , in the 1940s [1]. Thanks to the unfortunate legacy of the US Manhattan Project to secretly build the atom bomb and World War II, today's commercial nuclear power generation and fuel cycles [2] have...

In a bit of a bombshell moment, an apparent casual answer to a question about a photo on evworld, we learn from Andrea Rossi that advances in safety and control may lead to the 1MW plant being run in self-sustain mode. While any such advance would be an exciting development, it does not speak to the relevant realities of safety certificates and testing by the appropriate authorities. Unless this has been going on for some time and it is only the release of information that is new. Question and answer follow: Dear Andrea Rossi, please have a look to the...

European Patent Office observer criticizes Rossi's E-Cat Akira Shirakawa Sun, 17 Jul 2011 12:18:25 -0700 Hello group, All starts in the following link. It appears that the story is true, in that the person below did actually get to visit Rossi recently: http://ecatnews.com/?p=489#comment-70 Julian Brown July 17, 2011 - 12:41 pm | Permalink Rossi gave me a personal demonstration of a group of 4 e-cats working at his premises outside Bologna on Friday 8th. I saw essentially the same set up reported by Krivit in June. I was there in the capacity of friendly off-the-record adviser re patenting issues. Whilst...

This is being reported by multiple sites. Prof Focardi Talks eCat admin on July 16, 2011 — An interview with Professor Sergio Focardi is posted on the Italian blog, 22passi. The translation is well worth reading as there are a few technical details that are always good to hear again. The most interesting of those was in respect to the catalyst. Various people have guessed that it might split molecular Hydrogen into is atomic form. Focardi is very explicit here and confirms the detail that this stage is critical, allowing the obviously smaller entity to slip into the lattice structure...
