New Analysis of October 6th E-Cat Test Demonstrates Validity of the E-Cat October 17, 2011 By admin Recently on the vortex-l discussion board there appeared an analysis done by Bob Higgins — scientist of Motorola solutions — of the October 6th E-Cat test in Bologna. From my point of view it is a very deep and extensive analysis that clearly demonstrates a positive outcome of the test despite some known weaknesses. Although a lot of things could have been improved, the strength of the effect shown was so big that the effect of important flaws still remained only at...

Cheap power: An overnight revolution o Mark Gibbs 14.10.2011 kl 17:51 | Network World (US) In a couple of weeks the world could be forever changed by power too cheap to meter. Or not. Every now and then along comes a technology that is revolutionary and changes everything. But a very few of these new technologies cause fast change. Mostly they seep out of the lab, into the arms of early adopters, and then ooze out into the world in general. For example, the first internal combustion engine was (arguably) the Pyréolophore invented by Nicéphore and Claude Niépce in 1807,...

Are we on the Brink of an Energy Revolution? Andrea Rossi to Build 1MW Power Plant Written by Al Fin Thursday, 13 October 2011 12:45 Andrea Rossi and partner Professor Sergio Focardi recently announced to the world that they have created a cold fusion device which produces more energy than it consumes. As you can imagine this has drawn a great deal of interest from the scientific community as well as a huge number of skeptics . One way to prove your sceptics wrong is to actually do what you say you are going to do. Once the deed...

Data Indicates That Rossi’s October 6th E-Cat Demonstration Showed Nuclear Reaction October 10, 2011 By admin As the dust clears and the chatter subsides, and we take a look at the facts pertaining to Andrea Rossi’s October 6th demonstration of the energy catalyzer, data collected indicates that unless Rossi has been able to rig an extremely sophisticated trick (which no one who attended the demo has accused him of) he indeed managed to show that he has discovered a new source of nuclear power. One of the most clear representations of the data collected at the test can be...

Video summary of Bologna test released by Ecat.com WRITTEN BY ECATREPORT MONDAY, 10 OCTOBER 2011 21:32 NO COMMENTS “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” — Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince (1532) Finally the day had come. The day when all doubts was about to be shattered and shot down from the cloudy, skeptical sky. The October 6 test in Bologna had only been announced for a short time but was of monumental importance...

A short announcement was made on Andrea Rossi’s web site today: Dear Don Witcher: The test will be made on the 28th of October. I will give details within a week. Warm Regards, A.R. We have a date now, but no place yet. It wouldn’t surprise me if the location is Bologna, Italy — since that is where the plant is currently located. It would take a lot of time and expense to move it from its current location, and if he has it running stably at the moment it could be risky to move the whole thing at this...

BASIC DATA AND CALCULATIONS The following is in regard to the Rossi 7 Oct E-cat experiment as reported by NyTeknik here: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3284823.ece http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3284962.ece/BINARY/Test+of+E-cat+October+6+%28pdf%29 A spread sheet of the NyTecnik data is provided here: http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/Rossi6Oct2011.pdf The format used is useful for calibration runs, where it is known there is no excess heat. If the protocol is good and sufficiently long, and the measurements good, then at the end of the run the COP ends up at 1. A graph of this spread sheet data is appended. Note that an extra 0.8°C was added to the delta T value so as...

Andrea Rossi Answers Critics admin on October 9, 2011 — 140 Comments Andrea Rossi has posted the most explicit reply yet, regarding the October 6th test. From where I sit, it answers many of the questions fuelling controversy around the Net. My default is to believe what he says. Every point is verifiable by too many qualified observers to be otherwise. As always, we need to await corroboration by the scientists present, but taken as read, assertions that the eCat and exchanger were not weighed before and after are false as is the contention that the device was not...

Rossi declares te price of the energy prduced by his device will be 500 euros per kilowatt. Go to E-Cat News for details. That would be about $2000 for what I purchased for $400. At that price solar energy looks good.

In 1982, Daniel Shechtman of the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa discovered an alloy of aluminum and manganese that appeared to have fivefold symmetry—that is, the atoms in it formed a pattern that appeared essentially the same when rotated by a fifth of a turn, or 72 degrees. Other researchers scoffed, as such arrangement was thought to be...

eCat Test: Mainstream *FINALLY* Break 9 Months Of Silence The eCat Test Seems to Have Been A Big Success. UK based Wired.co.uk Are The First To Break Their Establishment Chains Andrea Rossi Talks To Journalists Outside The 1MW Plant Soon after Wired published their article, SlashDot followed and then many more lesser known blogs and sites. The LARGE global controlled media and science journals still refuse to submit to the growing pressure to report these events - similar to how the Chinese media block anything relating to the events in Tiananmen Square. The full results and details are currently under...

eCat Domains: "No Comment" Tuesday, October 4, 2011 ecat.com and e-cat.com A few weeks ago the domain e-cat.com was changed to point to the Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers website - more specifically, the part of their business that invests in new Green Technologies. Just 48 hours ago the similarly named ecat.com domain also went live with a teasing video about steam. A few days ago (and not knowing for sure) we dared to speculate that Rossi's US partner is in fact Kleiner Perkins (see this report). I emailed KPCBs Greentech Dept and was not the least bit surprised to...

Test on E-Cat Will Be Conducted on Oct 6th in Bologna, Italy with Invited Academics Featured, October E-Cat Demonstration by admin Daniele Passarini has posted a copy of a letter sent by Dr. Franco Sicogna to the European Patent Office inviting representatives to attend a demonstration of one of Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat modules. The letter reads in part: “With reference to the subject-matter of the application in re, we wish to inform you that an experiment run by the inventor, Mr. Andrea Rossi on a module of a 1MW plant will take place on October 6th, 2011 in Bologna...

NASA Advances Evaluation of Piantelli’s LENR Research Posted on September 28, 2011 by Steven B. Krivit Multiple sources have confirmed to New Energy Times that a team comprising NASA engineers and an investment group from the U.S. is expanding its interest in the low-energy nuclear reaction research of Italian biophysicist Francesco Piantelli. A meeting with the group and representatives of Piantelli will take place in the next few days. According to Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, NASA was working months ago on experiments based on Piantelli’s research. Piantelli’s work with LENR goes back...

The 2011 Cold Fusion/Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions Colloquium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — Part 2 (Report prepared by staff of JET Energy, Inc.) INFINITE ENERGY • ISSUE 99 • SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011 The 2011 Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions/Cold Fusion Colloquium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Massachusetts) was held on Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12, 2011. The meeting focused on the science and technology of cold fusion (CF) and lattice-assisted nuclear reactions (LANR). In 1989, the initial failures of cold fusion resulted from bad experiments, bad paradigm, materials issues, poor loadings and a poor appreciation of the...

This article is a few days old, but it is worth a mention nonetheless. Susan Kraemer at CleanTechnica can barely contain her excitement at the prospect of environmental regulations. In an article titled "Obama's EPA Cues 130 Billion Race to Cut Pollution By 2015", she reports that the EPA will shut down 20 percent of coal plants through the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. (Snip) The EPA will shut down an estimated 20% of the nation’s coal plants through the ground-level ozone rule (the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) ) through cap and trade that is about to be implemented in
