will it be productized?
how much will a unit cost?
how big is the unit?
how much will a ‘refill’ cost?
how much energy will a ‘refill’ generate and for how long?
Doesn’t matter. Obama will EO it out of business. Then confiscate the technology in the name of homeland security, then GIVE the technology to China.
This company either got suckered or will be the next Google of energy.
Time will tell.
This breakthrough transformational power technology can be witnessed in a live demonstration hosted by BlackLight of on January 28th at 11 AM. Details and updates will be posted at the company website (http://www.blacklightpower.com/). Those interested in attending can contact BlackLight to preregister for this limited availability event.
Currently their Web site is not mentioning this demo at all, which is somewhat strange for an event of global importance.
If it was real 11 million wouldn’t touch it, maybe 11 trillion, but since it was purchased so cheaply, I doubt we will ever see a working product.
BTW, IIRC I said let me know when a company buys one of these things. At least some others said it as well.
So... another step.
If it actually works, it’s worth hundreds of billions, maybe trillions of dollars. Why sell for $11 million?
I think there’s a lot of promising research going on in cold fusion (or LENR, as it is sometimes called). But, there’s something about the way Rossi conducts himself which makes me suspicious. And, consider this: If you had a virtually infinite energy source, would you sell the rights to it for a mere $11 million? I’d want more.

Rossi says he is chief scientest for e-cat at the firm.
From wikipedia:
Petroldragon[edit]
In 1974, Rossi registered a patent for an incineration system. In 1978, he wrote The Incineration of Waste and River Purification, published in Milan by Tecniche Nuove. He then founded Petroldragon, a company for developing oil from waste, which collapsed in the 1990s amidst allegations of dumping toxic waste,[11] and accusations of tax fraud. Its assets were seized, together with Rossi’s personal assets, and Rossi was arrested pending trial. Rossi spent four years in prison working on his legal defense in 56 trials, 5 of which ended in convictions related to tax fraud. Rossi wrote that he was acquitted in the other 51 trials.[12] The government of Lombardy spent over forty million euros to dispose of the 70,000 tonnes of toxic waste that Petroldragon had improperly dumped.[13] According to the mayor of Lacchiarella, Luigi Acerbi, “In the years when [Rossi] was working here, he didn’t produce a single drop of oil, as far as we know.”[12]
At the conclusion of the trials in 1996, Rossi moved to the US.[14]
Electricity from waste heat[edit]
In the US Rossi started the consulting firm Leonardo Technologies, Inc. (LTI). He secured a defense contract to evaluate the potential of generating electricity from waste heat by using thermoelectric generators. Such devices are normally only used for refrigeration (Peltier effect), because the efficiency for generating electrical power is only a few percent. Rossi suggested that his devices could attain 20% efficiency. Larger modules would be manufactured in Italy.
Rossi sent 27 thermoelectric devices for evaluation to the Engineer Research and Development Center; 19 of these did not produce any electricity at all. The remaining units produced less than 1 watt each, instead of the expected 800–1000 watt.[15]
this scam always appears just before a major political event such as an election or the SOTU.
This is just trolling like the creationist threads.
If its legit $11 Million seems like a very small pricetag if it was an all cash deal... I would be Westinghouse would have paid figures with far more zeros on the end if its legit.
No such company exists in the business database for the North Carolina Secretary of State.
Is this another Rossi scam? Is Rossi using fictitious companies to make up press releases? Rossi has done this kind of fraud before.
This is the business registration Rossi claimed a few years ago to be building his nuclear reactor, a 5th floor apartment in Miami:
