Watts Up Comment. Guest post by Ric Werme Six months ago I posted, with Anthony’s consent and misgivings, Cold Fusion Going Commercial!?.
It’s time to take a look at how Dr Rossi and his Energy Catalyzer are doing. In a word, Wow. There’s a huge amount of information and blogish speculation on the web now despite there being still very little in the mainstream press. There’s a new blog that looks pretty good, other new blogs I haven’t checked out yet, existing blogs have a lot of information, and it may be quite a while before I get back to teasing information out of Rossi’s blog. Several E-Cat units in a testbed. First, a quick summary. In January Rossi announced that a 1 MW reactor was going to be the first commercial development. Let me do the rest of this in a question and answer format: Umm, what is this good for?
Ah, a very good question. So then all we have is something that produces a lot of something that the existing power plant operators would call waste heat. Yeah, but what about me? Like this: Focardi & Rossi 2010 paper. Journal of Nuclear Physics. New Energy Times- LENR. Cold Fusion News. OOps. The following press release was posted today by Andrea Rossi on his web site: PRESS RELEASE : Bologna-Rome (Italy) August 4th 2011 EFA- Energia da Fonti Alternative srl, the Italian Company through which the rights for the production of Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat were granted to Praxen Defkalion Green Technologies LTD, publicly announces that the License and Technology Transfer Agreement between the two companies has been recently terminated.
All business relationships with Praxen , the Cyprus based company that owns the Greek company Defkalion Green Technologies S.A., have been cancelled and asof today neither Praxen nor Defkalion, nor any other Greek company whatsoever holds any rights for the production of the E-Cat or for any other exploitation of Andrea Rossi’s technology.
Andrea Rossi is the inventor of the “Method and Apparatus for carrying out Nickel and Hydrogen Exothermal reactions” (known to the general public as E-Cat) for which international patent demand no. Alan Fletcher's Audit. Swedish Sceptics Society. Yet another test of Andrea Rossi's Energy Catalyzer (E-Cat) has been performed on a 4.5 kW version near the University of Bologna.
This time a new set of observers were present, one of which is the chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society, who confirmed that Copper is being formed from Hydrogen and Nickel -- cold fusion! By Hank Mills Pure Energy Systems News The evidence in support of Andrea Rossi's "cold fusion" or "LENR" (low energy nuclear reaction) based Energy Catalyzer continues to grow. For those who are not aware, his system combines nickel powder, hydrogen gas, and an input of pressure and heat to produce a large output of thermal energy. On March 29th, 2011 yet another test of the technology was performed at the University of Bologna. Some well known players were present during the test. Smaller System with Great Results The test was performed on a much smaller version of the E-Cat.
Kullander and Essen also ruled out that the energy could be coming from a chemical source. Wiki page. Andrea Rossi (born 3 June 1950) is an Italian inventor[1] and entrepreneur.[2][3] He is the inventor of the Energy Catalyzer (also called E-Cat), which is a purported cold fusion or Low-Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) thermal power source.[4] He claimed to have invented a process to convert organic waste into oil for which, in 1978, he founded a company named Petroldragon.
In the early 1990s the company was disbanded following accusations of dumping environmental toxins, as well as tax fraud.[5] Andrea Rossi is married to Maddalena Pascucci. [10] 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. Defkalion - Green Technologies. Yeong Kim's Theory. Bill Moore's Article. AeroWorker The Copernican Revolution dethroned man and our planet from being in the center of creation.
The Earth became just another planet orbiting the Sun, and the Sun became just another star adrift in a sea of stars in the cosmos. Interestingly enough Kepler’s law of equal areas in equal time explanation saved the appearances of perfection of circular orbits that Copernicus was still in the thrall of. It took Newton to outline the mathematical laws that explained orbital geometry. Even this revolution in humanities view of itself being pushed off to the margins astronomically speaking did little to impact religion, faith, or the human conceit that our favored race was at the center of creation in a biological sense.
Immanuel Kant in the” Critique of Pure Reason” postulated that what man knows is a world permeated with his knowledge, and that the laws of science are built into a framework of his cognition. Religion has been in a long retreat since the Copernican Revolution.
