Rossi:
Validation Document 140 Pages, "Scientific Magazine" to Publish
Report - I thought this comment on the Journal of
Nuclear Physics was worth a post of its own. I will add to it if
more information is forthcoming: Q: Dear Andrea Rossi about the
presentation in Zurich on September 8 and 9: "Test results of the
600 degree E-Cat, validation by third party company" Correct?... (E-CatWorld;

Third Party Validation For The Hot Cat
- Andrea Rossi made an exciting announcement on his Journal of Nuclear Physics. He confirmed that the Hot Cat passed independent validation. In addition, he revealed that the Hot Cat had also passed validation on July 16th of this year.

Rossi
Pushing for E-Cat Stability at 1200 C [Updated] - It looks
like Andrea Rossi is trying to max out the E-Cat. Not content with
stable temperatures at 1000 C, he says he is trying to head higher.
Today on the Journal of Nuclear physics he said: We reached with the
Hot Cats the temperature of 1 000 Celsius degrees: this makes closer

1000 Degree Hot Cat
- Andrea Rossi's Hot Cat has raised hopes for an alternative
energy source capable of running municipal power plants. The Hot
Cat, originally referred to as the 600 E-Cat or E-cat 600, was
producing temperatures of 600 degrees. Now, it is in excess of
1000 degrees C. (ECatReport; August 2, 2012)
Rossi
Wants to be Free from 'Imprisonment' of Electric Drive -
Andrea Rossi has made some interesting comments lately about the
possibilities of doing without the electric drive in his E-Cat
systems. In all the E-Cats we have learned about to this point, an
electric drive, which provides heat, is employed to both initiate
and control the reactions in the E-Cat. We don't know too... (E-CatWorld;

Waiting
for the smoking gun in the e-cat - Is the e-cat the biggest
invention of the century or a bold hoax ? While supporters
still believe in the words of their guru Andrea Rossi for a near
solution for all the world΄s energy problems, some opponents don΄t
quite buy the story people like Gary Wright. (StepChange

New
Website Out to Stop Rossi - There's a new website
dedicated to "shutting down" Andrea Rossi. Somebody named Gary
Wright has put up a website called shutdownrossi.com.
Wright apparently thinks that Rossi is a threat to Low Energy
Nuclear Reaction research (LENR) and wants to stop him. (ColdFusion3;

Fleischmann
Dead at 85: End of an Era - Martin Fleischmann,
co-discoverer with B. Stanley Pons in 1989 of a phenomenon they
initially attributed to nuclear fusion, still colloquially called
"cold fusion", is dead at 85. He died on Aug. 3 at his home in
Tisbury, U.K., in the presence of his family. He suffered from numerous
health problems for many years. (NewEnergyTimes; August 4, 2012)

'Cold fusion' scientist Martin Fleischmann dead at 85
- Ephraim resident Sterling Allan is the chief executive officer of
Pure Energy News, which extensively tracks research and corporate

today, cold fusion is continuing to capture attention in both the
business and energy fields. (Deseret

pioneer, not only did AP writer, Peter Svensson, who I met at the
