    Dear Mr Rossi, Please can you clarify what you mean by an “independent test” and “certification”? Thanks.

    Colin Watters:

    Independent test means a test made by specialists that do not depend from us, Certification in this case means to certify the data related to the efficiency. In other words: means certify that there are not other energy sources and that the energy necessary to make the Ecat operation is generated by the same Ecat.

    Warm Regards,

    A.R.

    From his forum...

    Dear Readers:

    I wrote in a comment yesterday that the demo of the Ecat SK Leonardo will be made in January:

    this is a thought, not a guarantee, it depends also from the time of the certifications, so it could be delayed to February.

    Warm Regards,

    A.R.



    Prototypes/demonstration units do not need "certification".


    UL approval isn't mandatory although many US customers expect it.

    FCC approval isn't usually needed for demonstrations, trade shows etc (subject to some conditions).

    Quote from Navid

    I happen to be a Citizen of the UK as well as Canada. Can a UK team apply? If any experimental physicists out there, get in touch.

    My wife and I have both been involved with EU funded projects. They prefer to fund colaborative project teams with members/companies from several different EU countries. Some say this is so reviewers get to travel a lot and stay in nice hotels but I couldn't possibly comment.

  • Caveat Emptor (investors beware)

    Quote from Max Nozin

    The big question is if he himself was taking the pills and already had 10x the level of stem cells in his bone marrow at the time of the conference.

    Not sure having an excess of stem cells is a good idea...

    Quote

    Some day, stem cells will be enlisted to help repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. They will rescue us from diseases for which drugs can only treat the symptoms. But they may have another role in our lives, one that is not so beneficial. They may in fact be the source of some, and possibly most cancers. Lurking somewhere within every tumor, some say, are a few stem cells that have lost their genetic marbles, so to speak - continuously supplying a malignant mass with cancerous cells.

    • Dear Andrea,

      The ability for the E-Cat to provide its own clean stable power supply by means of SSM (Self Sustaining Mode) will potentially lead to more stability over the lifespan.

      The E-Cat controls will likely consist of electronics that are required to provide a very stable tight tolerance specific signal to the E-Cat charge for initiating nuclear change.

      Electronics generally require a clean power supply (and sometimes shielding), power supplies in an industrial environment can be prone to spikes, dropouts, harmonics and even outages, power supply anomalies (and electromagnetic interference) often originating from the start up, shut down and condition of nearby equipment and switchgear, this often leads to a requirement for power supply conditioning.

      Power supply conditioning can be relatively expensive, and may not be something you would want to include with E-Cat installations, so the ability of the E-Cat to provide its own stable supply power by means of SSM is worthwhile pursuing.

      What works in a laboratory may face additional challenges in an industrial environment.

      Regards,

      Keith Thomson.

    KeithT:

    Your analysis is intelligent.

  • Rossi: The final chapter

    Quote from we_cat_global

    I also think he could be ready to do a convincing demo (significantly easier with SSM since there's no input at all), maybe closed, which could move some things.


    No.


    What's needed is for him to allow proper independent scientific tests. He makes excuses that this would give away his secrets but I totally disagree. It always been possible for him to put "wrapper" around his reactor to hide his secrets and turn it into a black box with simple DC inputs and heat output. Just run it long enough to prove it can't be chemistry.

  • LENR for architecture

    A pavillion sounds like an interesting project but all I can suggest is some solar PV on the roof. I've no experience of heat pumps big enough for a public building but perhaps that's an option.. GSHP with the loops under the tennis courts? Perhaps it could be insulated to Passive house standards, bit of solar gain and it might not need heating?


    Perhaps look at renting out space in the cat park for an EV charger or two? Not sure if that feasible.

  • MIZUNO REPLICATION AND MATERIALS ONLY

    Sorry if im being dumb but neither of the two papers in #1 (ICCF 21 and 22) have 19 pages.


    1.293 kg/m3 seems a pretty high density to use. Think you would need dry air, temperatures around 5-10C and pressures around 1040-1060mbar.

  • News about Woodford and Industrial Heat

    Quote from Navid

    W.ford was a gambler.


    The red flag was when they rocketed up the valuation of IH...


    For me it was his investment in IH and Rossi in the first place. I was concerned about a potential lack of due diligence and sold his equity fund soon after I heard about the link to Rossi. Unfortunately I didn't know that a friend of mine had quite a lot in his fund until too late.

  • BLP update

    So in short it was new design that worked well but there were problems that will take time to fix. Sounds vaguely familiar.
