Industrial Heat Has Acquired Andrea Rossi's E-Cat Technology
PR Newswire
RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C., Jan. 24, 2014
-Company focused on making the technology widely available-
RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C., Jan. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Industrial Heat, LLC announced today that it has acquired the rights to Andrea Rossi's Italian low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology, the Energy Catalyzer (E-Cat). A primary goal of the company is to make the technology widely available, because of its potential impact on air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and biomass.
"The world needs a new, clean and efficient energy source. Such a technology would raise the standard of living in developing countries and reduce the environmental impact of producing energy," said JT Vaughn speaking on behalf of Industrial Heat (IH).
Mr. Vaughn confirmed IH acquired the intellectual property and licensing rights to Rossi's LENR device after an independent committee of European scientists conducted two multi-day tests at Rossi's facilities in Italy.
The published report by the European committee concluded, "Even by the most conservative assumptions as to the errors in the measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than conventional energy sources" [referring to energy output per unit of mass]. The report is available online at http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.3913. In addition, performance validation tests were conducted in the presence of IH personnel and certified by an independent expert.
Since acquiring Rossi's technology, IH has engaged in a broad-based effort to protect it by preparing numerous patent applications related to the core technology as well as associated designs and uses.
Tom Darden, who co-founded Cherokee Investment Partners, a series of private equity funds specializing in cleaning up pollution, is a founding investor in Industrial Heat. He is one of a small group of like-minded investors who are supporting this technology because it could significantly address a number of social and environmental challenges. They have committed to make it broadly available because of its potential for impact. IH is considering partnerships with industry participants, universities and NGO's to ensure the technology is developed in a thoughtful and responsible manner.
JT Vaughn manages Industrial Heat. He is the founder of Cherokee McDonough Challenge, an accelerator for environmental startups, and a leader in the startup community in the Research Triangle.

564degC, 511degC, 495degC, etc. throughout the report. This report was aiming for energy density, not necessarily just output in degrees, etc.
I haven’t posted a “Rossi says” article in over 2 years. And this isn’t one of those, either. It is a company announcing they are acquiring the technology. Go ahead and throw those guys under the bus, since you’ve thrown tons of others more qualified than you.
They you go again proclaiming something not a proven fact.
***7 independent scientists proclaimed it. It is only not a proven fact when one puts on skeptopath-colored glasses. Like all those 14,700 replications that happened BEFORE Rossi even came onto the scene.
And it will probably have been built in either Korea or China or both.
***That’s one of the saddest truisms I’ve seen on FR lately. America has lost its edge, even on something as disruptive as this technology.
Ah I got it now. Thanks for the link.
Wow, that is really some usable heat then. You could build a steam engine for electrical power and then the excess heat to provide hot water / heating for the house, possibly even heating a green house. I could see this being viable for a farm or small business if the price is right.
They you go again proclaiming something not a proven fact.
***After further review, this is yet another lie from you. I wrote about the energy density in a paragraph that started “I think of it as...” so your lie is doubly wrong because I was not proclaiming it as a proven fact and it also happens to be an inductively proven fact.
The possibilities are as paradigm-changing as the introduction of gun powder.
In and of itself, it certainly "is" usable heat. But keep in mind that the technology is at the stage of the first one cylinder Diesel engine. Interestingly enough, one of the materials that could possibly be used in place of nickel is tungsten, which has a MUCH higher melting point. I think much higher temperatures will become available as the tech advances.

***I hadn’t heard that. Got any links? I had heard that Rossi used tungsten to separate H2 gas into H1 monoatomic gas and that was his initial secret “catalyst”...
Exactly
If the cost of a unit can be brought down to where an average home owner can take advantage of the system, the entire power production and distribution model could be thrown out the window. Instead of buying a furnace, ac, hot water heater, and buying electricity from the grid, the home owner can produce their own ... everything.
Further, if you can get the system to about 250 hp / 180 kw power range, then even transportation becomes available for a re-think.
I had been kind of just monitoring the eCat off and on. Now it seems really exciting. I hope it takes off soon.
Tungsten has been known to soak up huge quantities of hydrogen since the experiments of Irving Langmuir when he was trying to find the perfect fill gas for the electric light bulb.
There are "some" indications that Langmuir thought he had sometimes gotten more energy out of his tungsten-hydrogen system than he had put in. He asked one of the top physicists of the day (Bohr??) and was told that such was "impossible"....so he dropped it (sound familiar???).
I'll see if I can dredge up a link or two...but it has been some time back that I read it.
Even more, perhaps, since our entire world runs on electricity.
This is staggering.
This is staggering.
***That’s why I’ve been posting LENR articles.
Looks like a mere shell company? Started in 2012... No key people listed in BusinessWeek profile besides Darden... No products... No web page... Supposedly working in NC Triangle, but really based in TX.
Ah, a usable product in thirty years or so....until then just dreams and an endless series of articles on FreeRepublic pimping the product.
I’m looking forward to purchasing my cold fusion reactor with Bitcoins...
This is actually an amazing discovery. It’s a perpetual stagnant machine. Right now it’s 30 years from realization. 10 years from now it’ll still be 30 years from realization.
"Right now it’s 30 years from realization. 10 years from now it’ll still be 30 years from realization...EEG
You MUST be talking about "hot fusion", not cold. Only the correct number isn't 30.....it's 50.
