eCat Domains: "No Comment"

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 find that my email was ignored. I also made efforts to correspond through their Facebook Page - again, there seemed to be no-one at home over at Kleiner Perkins - very strange I thought.

Yesterday I wrote and asked Andrea Rossi if he or his group had any connection with either the e-cat.com or ecat.com domains in order that the speculation ends.

My comment appeared to be "awaiting moderation" when I checked yesterday. Today however, a stack of new comments appeared and mine was not one of them.

So what happened to it? There is an outside chance that it went into the spam folder on his blog, but my guess is that Rossi's group / partner firm owns at least one or maybe both of the domains and perhaps understandably, they do not want to give anything away right now.

Perhaps the partner firm is indeed KPCB? If it turns out that it is not KPCB then it is at least rumored to be a company of quite some standing anyway. We should know by the end of October if not sooner.

Kevmo, recalling that Japanese discovery that a compound with selenium linked to benezene molecules had a tendency to produce unbidden excess heat is it possible Rossi came across this during his efforts to clean up industrial waste oil to use as diesel?

Wonder where I can find those 5 minor charges he was convicted of back in those days ~ maybe we can work backwards from whatever that was into the chemistry and catalytic processes he encountered?

I've been struck by the fact the most visible feature of all of these "modules" seems to be a hydraulic cylinder like you might find in a car or truck brake system, or maybe a hydraulic cylinder used to control the flow of Bunker Oil #2 on a ship.

Those items have three tubes ~ which can operate bi modally to allow stuff in or send it backwards through a closed system.

That high pressure hydrogen pumped into the mix of "catalyst" and nickel shavings might well give you something that looks like lithium grease or butter or lard or shortening. Presumably heating the mix up liquifies it and allows a great deal of mixing.

With the selium "catalyzing" some of the hydrogen in the first stage of the process, that could then "catalyze" the nickel in the second stage.

You'd turn it off simply by cutting off the hydrogen flow ~ should be a lever on a line connecting the hydrogen tank with the main cylinder.

At some point you'd build up enough waste copper you'd have to replace the greasy compound.

If his equipment is anything like that it means most of the major components in this technology are widely available in automotive junkyards worldwide and quite understandable by hundreds of millions of amateur and professional auto mechanics.

Focardi once let it slip that the nature of Rossi’s ‘catalyst’ was to separate H2 molecules into single Hydrogen molecules so that they would absorb into a Palladium matrix faster. It seems to have worked so well that even Ni-H cells, which were even harder to replicate, would readily produce excess LENR heat.

I don’t know enough about chemistry to analyze whether selenium is involved, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see benzene rings. My favorite candidate is thorium or technetium as the catalyst.

I have no doubt they experimented with Palladium ~ and Platinum ~ as well as Nickel. But take a look at Se ~ my proposal is his whole project arose out of his interest in taking waste oil and turning it into diesel.

He'd be using some solvents and chemicals to separate viscosities and others to cause clumping to take out the clinkers and heavy metals.

Waste oil is gathered from manufacturers, vehicle repair shops, laboratories, and so on.

It's hard to avoid Se in the mass of trash that you get in used or waste oil.

It has special properties and it does its thing with benzene in a little understood process.

It is also very commonly found ~ in all sorts of things.

It is also off the main stream of NI/PD/PL ~ over on the side with the elements we usually don't find ourselves thinking about in terms of nuclear physics ~ I think it has 5 stable isotopes ~ just like nickel in fact.

Old doc Focardi probably did a jig when this guy walked in with surplus heat ~ and it may be they compared and contrasted what Rossi had with this melange from the failed oil project and what you could get with palladium (or platium).

Plus, Rossi had a secret ~ compressed hydrogen bubbled into a mass of fats and oils will produce a semi-solid ~ and hold that stuff in place until it's ready to fire off (kind of what his warm up period sounds like).
