The writer appearing at the E-Cat News site complains about the lack of comment by the AP, they being invited to witness the recent test of Rossi's e-cat cold fusion steam maker. It's suggested the lack of news reports on the progress of the device is depriving the world's downtrodden masses of their cheap energy and all that that would bring. Yes, if only the poor billions had an e-cat to heat their huts. It appears they will have to wait a bit longer.

Mysteries abound as to who the customer is, who was actually running the demonstration, was there electrical power being added during the demonstration, and on it goes without resolution since Rossi has said there would be no more public demonstrations.

1 MW E-Cat Cold Fusion Device Test Successful On October 28, 2011, Andrea Rossi demonstrated his 1 megawatt E-Cat system to his first customer, who had engineers/scientists on hand to test/validate its performance. Due to a glitch, it provided 470 kW of continuous power for 5.5 hours during the self-sustained mode. Here I am with Andrea Ross after the test of the 1 MW E-Cat plant in the background. By Sterling D. Allan (who was present), with Hank Mills Pure Energy Systems News Well, the big day has come and gone. Andrea Rossi's one-megawatt-capable E-Cat cold fusion device has...

Andrea Rossi October 28th, 2011 at 5:33 PM HERE IS THE DRAFT OF REPORT OF THE 1 MW E-CAT TEST of October 28th http://db.tt/wu4OLbgk PLEASE EXCUSE US FOR THE EVIDENT TYPOS, BUT IT IS PARTIALLY HANDWRITTEN AFTER MIDNIGHT FROM VERY TIRED PERSONS. WARM REGARDS, ANDREA ROSSI ------------------------------------------------------- Andrea Rossi October 28th, 2011 at 10:37 AM FIRST INFORMATION REGARDING THE 1 MW PLANT TEST: WE SARTED REGULARLY THE TEST THIS MORNING . EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL SO FAR. THE 1 MW E-CAT IS WORKING IN SELF SUSTAINING. TONIGHT I WILL PUBLISH THE NON SECRET REPORT THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL RELEASE. WARM...

Well, the big day has come and gone. Andrea Rossi's one-megawatt-capable E-Cat cold fusion device has been tested in Bologna, Italy; and the unknown customer, who ran the test, is apparently happy. There were some issues, so it couldn't be run at full power in self-looped mode, but what it did do was plenty impressive. It ran for 5.5 hours producing 470 kW, while in self-looped mode. That means no substantial external energy was required to make it run, because it kept itself running, even while producing an excess of nearly half a megawatt. Rossi explained the reasons for this...

E-Day Thread: Rossi’s 1 MW E-Cat Plant Tested By First Customer October 28, 2011 It’s October 28th in Italy and today’s the day when Andrea Rossi’s 1 MW Plant is going to be tested at his Bologna factory by consultants from an unnamed American Customer. Rossi has said that the contractual terms are that the purchase of the plant is dependent upon it providing six times more power than is input. If the plant does not meet this guarantee, he will have two months to rectify the problem. Prior to the test noises from the Rossi camp sound quite...

eCat: Customer Is Large, Well Known Industrial Group THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2011 Rossi Inside The 1MW Fusion Plant Yesterday there was a rumor doing the rounds that Rossi's customer was in fact the US Navy. Today however, Daniele Passerini, the Italian blogger and close friend of Giuseppe Levi (who is normally clued into inside information) said the customer "is a well-known and large industrial group". "And finally we come to the E-Cat, in particular the first test plant of 1 MW. Beyond the short time available to me to write, I have very good reasons at this time to keep...

eCatNews Brief 2 admin on October 26, 2011 — As we wait for Friday and what we hope will a day to remember for the right reasons, I thought it would be a good time to prepare the ground for a major update of the second eCatNews brief. Intended as an overview of the subject from a hopeful sceptic’s point of view, the brief reflects my attitude and the philosophy behind this site. For this reason, I will not make changes to satisfy differing opinions but welcome those opinions nevertheless. I will change errors of fact or add to...

Neutron Emission in the Cold Fusion Phenomenon Hideo Kozima Cold Fusion Research Laboratory, 597-16 Yatsu, Aoi, Shizuoka, Shizuoka 421-1202, Japan Abstract The physics of the cold fusion phenomenon (CFP), i.e. low energy nuclear reactions in solids including high density hydrogen isotopes at near room-temperature in a non-equilibrium condition including ambient radiations, has not yet been given appropriate explanations in spite of abundant experimental data obtained in these more than twenty years. We focus on the nature of neutrons from cold fusion (CF) materials observed in these years to investigate mechanisms relevant to nuclear reactions responsible for the neutron emission. In...

So Who Is the Buyer? 25 ottobre 2011 By K.R.B. The Ecat News blog published an article about the Mystery of the Rossi 1 mW Unit Customer. As an answer to that questioning article some other factors should be considered. There has been much speculation about who it might be. A lot of the speculation is tainted by whether one thinks Rossi has a viable product or not. Much of the speculation has pertained to the technical aspect of the offered invention with commentary that the buyer’s secrecy related to concerns about whether Rossi has a real viable product...

eCat Has European Certification October 24, 2011 | Author: admin Many of us have been wondering about Defkalion’s stated progress (or otherwise) regarding official certification of their eCat derivatives. Since their divorce, it is interesting to note that Andrea Rossi states that he has completed CE compliance: Andrea Rossi October 23rd, 2011 at 8:08 AM Dear Dario: The CE for the business to business has been done. For household applications not yet. Warm Regards, A.R . The following snips are from the wiki entry: CE marking (originally EC mark[1]) is a mandatory conformity mark for products placed on the...

1MW Plant Testing Underway admin on October 23, 2011 — 8 Comments According to Andrea Rossi, on his blog, the 1MW plant is now under test. I assume that he means testing by his own engineers but that is not certain. Either way, it is good news. If the 28th is to be taken as the customer delivery date which will be attended by senior scientists and journalists as well as company reps, it is inconceivable that some sort of pre-test would not have been made. We also have the promise of semi-live reports (hourly) on Dr Rossi’s blog...

With this headline A. Rossi, inventor of an e-cat device announces the much reported October 28 has begun. "Rossi: Preliminary Testing of E-Cat Plant Underway, “Working Well So Far” This is the test of the 1Mw unit. The next few days will be interesting, to say the least.

Dr. George Miley Replicates Patterson, Names Rossi Ecat site - Long-time cold fusion researcher Dr. George Miley, affiliate professor at the University of Illinois, has recently released a report documenting his successful replication of the work of cold fusion pioneer James Patterson. Dr. Miley feels that the work of Mr. Patterson and Andrea Rossi have many similarities and has offered a theory that is felt to cover both. Dr. Miley recently spoke at the World Green Energy Synopsium in Philadelphia, PA from October 19-21, 2011. A Microsoft Power Point presentation was released on October 3 documenting his work and experimental...

Andrea Rossi's Petroldragon Story by Andrea Rossi (Source) Translation by Alex Passi and Domenico Pozzetti Free Republic has been hearing from the Cold Fusion Seagulls all about how Andrea Rossi supposedly went to jail for fraud. It is not true. Here is the story, as represented by Steven Krivit, who is in enmity with Rossi. So it is a good place to find the set of facts that both sides can agree on. 1. The Beginning Andrea Rossi was born in 1950 on the 3d of June, in Milan . During his school holidays, from 1957 to 1968, he...

Here are the analyses of the latest E-cat test Av: Mats Lewan Publicerad idag, 07:30 Three extensive analyses has been made of data from the test of Andrea Rossi’s E-cat on October 6. Two point to a clearly anomalous heat production, while the third leaves the question open . here) . Interest in the latest test of Andrea Rossi’s energy catalyzer has exceeded that in any previous test. The result has been discussed intensely internationally. Does Rossi’s apparatus generate net energy. If so, how much . The shortcomings of the test measurement methods were clear, though significant improvements had...

Don't plan on going off the grid just yet with your very own E-Cat steam/electricity generator. Not unless you have fairly deep pockets and can wait a while as the small e-cats are not going up for sale anytime soon. While answering questions on his blog, Journal of Nuclear Physics, Rossi said: "Andrea Rossi October 19th, 2011 at 8:58 AM Dear Marco: The 1 MW plants will be for sale starting November. We did not decide, yet, about the smaller units. Warm Regards, A.R." So Where do you want your shipping container?

The story that follows this headline: "As Interest in the E-Cat Spikes, Rossi says the October 28th E-Cat Test Will be the Last Public One" (Read more: http://www.ecatnews.net/#ixzz1bLUVpDa6) indicates that the much hyped and long awaited October 28 test will only be semi-public as the ones conducting the tests will be the "customer's consultants". Just who that is remains a secret and probably will remain so since if the test that fails there won't be a customer.

Energy Catalyser: Potential game changer October 19, 2011 BR RESEARCH In 1985 the Norwegian music band, "A-ha" released a music video entitled "Take on me" which showed lead singer Morten Harket reminiscing over his love life as he interacts with moving images of his lover on a sheet of paper. While the song became an instant hit; the concept of an interactive multimedia device only received a baffled response of uh huh from viewers. Fast forward to the present age and any self-respecting techie will greet mention of such technology with an unimpressed duh. Bottom line technology is evolving...

Mark Gibbs on E-Cat October 18, 2011 2:24 P.M. By Reihan Salam At Network World, Mark Gibbs has a column on E-Cat, a low-energy nuclear reaction technology developed by the Italian inventor Andrea Rossi. It sounds, and most likely is, too good to be true. Gibbs projects what might unfold if E-Cat works as promised: Let’s assume Rossi’s E-Cat works. What then? From the demonstrated prototypes it appears that you could build E-Cats small enough to power a car or a house. Bundle a lot of them together and you could power a truck, a ship or an office...
