E-Cat Weekly -- February 2, 2012
This past week saw at least
51 stories, culling from 10 dedicated sites and 3 mainstream sources. Highlights
include: Rossi explains why Bologna facility is so cold; Defkalion releases
video of bare reactor demo setup; cold fusion (10x) demonstrated at MIT again;
Australian skeptics allege miswiring of leads; envisioning E-Cat applications
galore.
Andrea Rossi is interviewed by ECat.com
on January 12, 2012.
Full Disclosure:
PES Network has a business relationship with Andrea Rossi.
Costs for maintenance and recharge for the domestic unit will be "some tens of euros"
goal: the 1MW plant will have a payback period (ROI) of about one
year.
Warranties will be the usual ones covered by the laws for any
device in serial production. Up to two years due to any eventual
shortcomings deriving from the manufacturing process. Money back if
the E-Cat does not meet guaranteed performance data. (ECat;
January 27, 2012)
Video:
Rossi Talks About Warranties and Costs (Including Money Back Guarantee)
- In a new video released by the Ecat.com website, Andrea Rossi
discusses the difference between the domestic and industrial ecats in
terms of price, and models. He says that probably the cost of the
domestic E-Cats will be between $40-$50 per kW, while the industrial
units will be around $1500 per kW. That seems like a very big price...

Production
Proposed ECat Schedule For 2012(ECatReport; February 1, 2012) (And buyecatand ecathome)
1. 2012 March, April start of improved 1 Mw plant.
2. 2012 from February till November building of robotized plant for E cats.
3. 2012 November test production for 10 kw home Ecats.
4. 2012 December successful start of sales 10 kw home Ecats.

New American Partner to Provide Tremendous' Boost to E-Cat Efficiency
- "...today we met a Partner in the USA who will allow a tremendous
increase of efficiency of the system. The beautiful of this Country is
that when you wake up in the morning you never know what will happen new
during the day." (E-CatWorld; February 2,
2012)
The
impact of NFE on recreation - What new recreational
activity would you do if you had a backpack power station? (NickelPower;
January 27, 2012)
Remote location music and movie studios would be possible.
Hot showers and electricity while backpacking in the wilderness.
Jet-ski across the Atlantic.
Non-stop motocross races that spanned continents.
LENR Powered air-gliders flying down the coast of Africa.
Energy boosted frameworks for disabled folks. Think "Big Dog" from Boston Dynamics. So far Big Dog is seriously constrained by energy delivery. Ding! Cured.
Scuba vehicles and tow-fish.
Refrigeration while camping in the desert.
Power for running gold dredges or charging metal detector batteries.
World's Wildlife Needs Cold Fusion
- "We are liquidating the earth's natural assets to fuel our
consumption." (ColdFusionNow; January 27, 2012)
E-Cat
and High Speed Trains - the time has come to explore the
numerous applications for the new LENR energy system. It is believed
that by tapping the immense power stored in a small amount of Nickel
metal, plenty of energy concerns could be addressed. (ECatReport;
February 2, 2012) (And rossifocardifusion
and andrearossiecatand ecathome)
E-Cat Powered Sport Cars!
- The Rossi E-Cats will be able to power the cars in our near future.
With the abundance of energy produced by the E-Cat, there is no need to
make cars so small and light. Average size cars could become popular
again. And the cost of operating a motor vehicle will be very low. We
could afford to drive on long trips/vacations. (RossiFocardiFusion;
January 26, 2012)
Credibility
National Instruments Instrumental in
Rossi's Ecat Case - NI publicly mentioned Leonardo Corporation in their
press release of Nov 14, 2011:
"Additionally, the Leonardo Corporation has intentions to incorporate NI tools in its control
system." (ECatReport; January 26, 2012)
Patents
On January 17, 2012, T.O. wrote: "I have a very good friend, that is high ranking, in the patent office and he said he would check where the application is in the process." On January 31, 2012, T.O. wrote: "I found out today that the E-Cat patent is through the security section and now is in a cue to be assigned to a Patent Examiner. My friend thought that at current workflow that it should be done by the end of the year. Of course things could change. He could not say if it would be approved or denied."
When this was forwarded to Andrea Rossi on Feb. 2, he responded:
Dear Sterling, we know.
Warm Regards,
A.
Dear Andrea Rossi, if the energy produced by the E-cat is
mainly radiation, did you think about direct conversion of
radiation into electricity?
There are some promising technologies based on nano structures
that could be potentially suitable to produce electric energy
having more efficiency than the classic thermoelectric Rankine
Cycle http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13545
Maybe the nano structures mentioned in this article and the
materials used in your E-Cat could be even combined into a single
structure suitable to produce long-lasting batteries.
Dear Massimo:
Interesting, but not immediate. Now we are focused on the
immediate goal to supply electric energy by E-Cats.
Very interesting, though, to be studied.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Commentary
Plan
X: The Energy Super Bowl - If you really, honestly believe that this new source of unlimited, cheap and clean energy is actually there, and NOT
"maybe there" or "hopefully there" then there is no way to deny that the Military/Financial complex will stop at nothing to scoop it up, dress it in Red, White and Blue, or a Chinese flag, and march it off to serve in our endless war.

Australian
Skeptics' eCat Verdict: It's All A Terrible Error - I
have been asked to post the Australian Skeptics Society Report in full

the word out to as many potential investors as possible. I would have
done so anyway but take note of (ECatNews; January 31, 2012)

Why
Is Rossi's Bologna Factory So Cold? - Someone asked
Rossi a question that probably has crossed a lot of E-Cat watchers'
minds. The recent videos of Rossi in his Bologna factory show him
sitting inside in a heavy overcoat with heat producing machines
surrounding him. We have heard Rossi and Focardi say that in the past
they were able to heat.. (E-CatWorld; January 29,

A Score For eCat Sceptics?
- A
curious message has popped up in the comments section of 22passi. The blog, owned by Daniele Passerini (a close friend of Dr Levi) has, in the past, been a source of good information on the cheerleading bench. I would not normally post such an obtuse hint of a hint (the comment is Daniele's) but since it seems to promise an important piece of information which will dent belief' I thought you should know.

It does all fit. I know from posts elsewhere that MY was in San Diego. It is
also evidenced by the fact that MY did not post before 11 am ET and posted well
into the night. There is a George Lawrence Hody found on whitepages.com in San
Diego who shows up in:
He is a 71 yr old male. Vice president of Thermonetics Corp, 7834
Esterel Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037-3523. The company is described as:
"Thermonetics Corp in La Jolla, CA is a private company
categorized under Transducers for Volts, Amperes, Watts, Vars,
Frequency, Etc.. Our records show it was established in 1968 and
incorporated in California. Current estimates show this company has an
annual revenue of $500,000 to $1 million and employs a staff of
approximately 1 to 4."

NOTE: NOTE: We have replaced the previous Echo comment service with
Disqus. The old Echo database of comments has now been imported into Disqus. The old comments are loaded in date received order. This will mean that if say, someone posted a reply a week after a comment was posted, then it will appear before the original post does (in other words jumbling up will occur in the normal Parent/Child pattern of replies) and comments will not follow a logical order. However, comments you have made/make in Disqus since the changeover date will appear in the normal order of appearance.
ADVISORY: With any
technology, you take a high risk to invest significant time or money
unless (1) independent testing has thoroughly corroborated the
technology, (2) the group involved has intellectual rights to the
technology, and (3) the group has the ability to make a success of
the endeavor.
All
truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
