Here are some other links: http://www.e-catworld.com/ has some running links on the testing, as does http://ecatnews.com/.
The PESwiki link and others also have some new discussion of a test on July 7 of the ‘fat’ E-cat design (like those being used in the 1 MW demonstration reactor) not seen before. There are also photos being posted, etc., but I don’t have access to twitter so I’m missing some of the updates. Apparently the participants are being shown the 1 MW reactor setup as well as the module being demo’d today.
I sincerely hope this thing is real. I love to see someone succeed on a great untertaking. If it is real it will be bigger than anything in my lifetime and probably bigger than the internal combustion engine in terms of lifting burdens from the human race. Here’s hoping it is not a fraud. Buy stock in Nickel mines.
Per the first link in your post #2, e-cat is running selfsustained now for 4 hours.
That is interesting and makes me wonder if the thing runs without external power input how do they stop it? Is there some kind of control rod or something that halts the reaction?
Duh! I wasn’t thinking. Obviously they shot off the Hydrogen.
Haven’t the foggiest, but I still find this very interesting.
Hm. Shut down after four hours, as planned? Did anyone else hear about this plan beforehand? I wonder if everyone goes to dinner and leaves the 'cooling' reactor unattended....
I want this to be real, but the way things keep happening to interrupt the tests gives me that ol' Nigerian feelin'.
Twitter feed states this was planned, with “operations” to end at “00:00” — http://twitter.com/#!/22passi
That tweet was only posted about an hour ago. It’s currently 9:40 PM in Italy, so the “operations,” whatever they are, have another two plus hours to run. Or if 00:00 is 00:00 GMT, three plus hours. It may be that I simply missed mention of the ‘planned shutdown’, but the reference to 00:00 isn’t it.
Check the “Comments” at the first link in post#2
That’s where I got my info
Two entries below the 00:00 reference is the reference to the planned shutdown. Interesting reports, though some subsequent reports are in Italian.
Looks like people are very happy with the results, which raises the obvious question - what has happened to all the seagulls?? ;-)
Supposedly we'll see more and better details tomorrow.
Where are those comments? I didn’t see them on the PESwiki page. It is frustrating dealing with everything coming on this subject from Italian, Greek, Swedish... everything but English it seems. But that’s a very obnoxiously anglo-centric attitude of mine. :-p
Thanks, Liberty
