Just had to rib you a little, in a friendly way.
No news of any further installations yet ?
One wonders what the military has found out about the device they purchased ?

Ecat Test Generates a lot of Attention
Published May 30, 2013. | By jennifer.
Andrea Rossi’s posting of the results from the independent test of his ecat Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) device at a forum for scientific papers has attracted a lot of attention. The attention has ranged from the curious to the favorable to the hostile.
The Botanical Garden at Uppsala University
Over at Forbes.com Mark Gibbs who has been very critical of Rossi in the past did a pretty good job of showing that the authors of the paper are real scientists. He also identified three of the paper authors I hadn’t heard of before they are: Torbjorn Hartman. Hartman is apparently a Senior Research Engineer at the Svedberg Laboratory which is associated with Uppsala University
Bo Hoistad who is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala Unniversity. He maybe a professor of Nuclear Physics
Lars Tegner a Professor Emeritus (retired professor) from the Department of Engineering Sciences at Uppsala University. He is apparently a professor of electrical engineering.
Cudos to Mr. Gibbs for uncovering this and being willing to change his mind. Gibbs also noted that one of the professors Hanno Essen listed in the paper was the Chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society for nearly three years. That doesn’t sound like a dupe does it.
Unfortunately not everybody is as open minded, Steven B. Krivit and New Energy Times are still denouncing the test as a hoax. They now claim Rossi is somehow manipulating the academics to create an illusion. One has to wonder would the academics be that stupid and gullible and would they risk their reputations and careers for a hoax. Perhaps the promoters of real journalism about LENR would explain this. It’s been my experience to start questioning any news source that starts bragging about practicing real journalism or the truth. Generally it’s a cover for sloppy reporting and masking opinion as news.
The usual “debunking” from the defenders of mainstream science has also popped up. Discovery News’ Jesse Emspak has posted 5 Reasons why Cold Fusion is Bunk. Note Rossi refuses to use the words Cold Fusion. A typical smear piece that employees a lot of classic propaganda techniques such as guilt by association ie link Rossi with the discredited words cold fusion, mention Pons and Fleischman, list some high school physics and hope none of our readers know anything about this. That’ll score points with certain science professors it isn’t journalism.
It’d be nice if the so called mainstream journalists might contact Mr. Rossi and talk to him. Or better contact the professors mentioned in the report and ask them why they think it is real.
If you’re interested in getting a full list of the coverage of the test results Sterling D. Allen has posted one at Pure Energy Systems. Unlike the so called critics he has listed both the critics and the supporters. His open mindedness should be a lesson for certain others.
The publicity we’re getting is nice but it doesn’t go far enough. Obviously part of the reason for this is that Rossi has not said or done anything dramatic or revealed how the ecat works. Hopefully that’ll be coming.
Hopefully all of this attention will lead to more funding and popular support for LENR. Something those of us who are discouraged by criticism should remember is that negative publicity can attract just as much attention as positive news. Even attack pieces may convince a few people to take a look at what’s going on and to get involved.

***If the military purchased a device and it was a scam, they’d be squawking pretty loud right about now.
Bttt
I think....is that the squawk of seagulls?...getting louder....ever louder?
Here's a picture of Rossi and his "idependent lead author taken back in 2011.
look what the cat dragged in
Thanks 4 Bumping The Thread T4BTT.

No military has purchased an Ecat.
interesting faith position
Thanks 4 Bumping The Thread T4BTT.

The sun will come up tomorrow.
Both positions of faith.
Thanks for posting these LENR threads Kevmo.
I have faith, too. That you will continue to stalk me across these LENR threads.
Thanks 4 Bumping The Thread T4BTT.

You’re welcome
And I faith that you will continue to promote Rossi’s scam which has nothing to do with LENR.
See, my faith has already paid dividends. If Rossi’s independently verified power densities have nothing to do with LENR, then prove it. I have no desire to see fraud happen. Calling it a fraud is a faith position. Otherwise, if you could prove it, he’d be in jail.

Nothing's been verified except that Rossi's friends in the gang of 7 don't know how to write a research paper.
Calling it a fraud is a faith position. Otherwise, if you could prove it, he’d be in jail.
Magic shows aren't against the law.
Selling distribution rights may be against the law depending on the contracts. That's the stage of the scam right now.
Can’t prove it, I see.

Is he soliciting money from you? What's it to ya?
You can’t prove scam. You can’t prove the energy densities aren’t LENR. You can’t prove your claims.
But I can prove you’ve been stalking me. It’s there for all FReepers to see.
Thanks 4 Bumping The Thread T4BTT.
