Andrea Rossi's E-Cat - a 1 MW plant is being built in Greece

[Cognitive Dissident]

I know this has been mentioned in a number of places around the forum, but I think it needs more profile.

The point is, this device is way beyond proof of concept, it is real, it has been demonstrated a number of times, and a 1MW plant is being built in Greece - of all places! - and will be operational in October.

If real (and I think it is) this is 100% guarantee to end the dominance of the oil and gas industries. And it will be the end of nuclear as well, because that will not be required.

Electricity can be generated easily, cheaply and safely, without oil and gas.

You will also be interested to hear that it is currently getting NO attention from the MSM, except in Greece, and some in Italy, home country of Andrea Rossi.

There is lots of information on the web about this, just google E-cat or have a look at

Energy Catalyzer US Partner Named: Has Links To DoE

Posted: 16 May 2011 06:54 PM PDT

Ampenergo - a company formed in 2009 with connections to the Department Of Energy (DoE) has been named as the partner firm to assist in the proliferation of the E-Catalyzer Cold Fusion technology. This is absolutely HUGE News and another ringing endorsement of Rossi's Cold Fusion Technology.


Ampenergo will receive part of the royalties on all sales of licenses and products built on the energy catalyzer in the Americas. Most interesting of all is that Free Energy Truth had in the last few weeks asked Rossi about potential contracts or involvement with the DoE and now it is confirmed that the partner firm has deep ties with the DoE in terms of the founders of Ampenergo.


"The founders of Ampenergo are Karl Norwood, Richard Noceti, Robert Gentile and Craig Cassarino.


Two of them also founded the consulting firm LTI – Leonardo Technologies Inc. – which for 10 years has been working on contracts amounting to several millions of dollars for the U.S. Defense and Energy departments, and with a recent contract with DOE amounting to 95 million dollars.


Robert Gentile was also Assistant Secretary of Energy for Fossil Energy at the Department of Energy during the early 1990’s." - source NY Teknik


This latest development in the ongoing story of Andrea Rossi and the Energy Catalyzer raises the level of seriousness and importance with which this has now attained, and is yet another firm endorsement of the growing reality that WE HAVE A NEW PRIMARY ENERGY SOURCE - safer than nuclear and infinitely cheaper than ALL other traditional sources.


It is also another nail in the coffin of the pseudoskeptic establishment protection police who must by now be gagging on their own flem at what this means for their shambolic house of cards. The days of their sneering and mockery of exotic energy technologies are rapidly coming to an end. Free Energy is alive and well.


Now you will see the anonymous cowards turn their attention to explaining their way out of this. Some have already started attacking the technology in any way they can out of pure frustration as we've seen in some forums. Others as we reported yesterday have taken to dubious editing of Wikipedia and trying to play down the significance of this. This is natural. It is the last dying breath of the flat earth society.


This is not some backyard technology out of someone's garage, but already we've seen in the past few weeks that the investment so far runs into the hundreds of millions, with 3 production plants and now we are seeing links back to US govt DoE.


As they say in Rossi's native Italy "Wake up and smell the Penne Al Arbiata" - It's time to take the e-catalyzer seriously.

[Cognitive Dissident]

Thanks for this, spells out the implications pretty well. We have a new primary energy source! Now I guess the only thing left is for humanity to evolve spiritually so that we are able to use it wisely!

We're not there yet... be watching this closely.

Rossi E-Catalyzer: The Effect Is 100% Reliable And Reproducible

Posted: 24 May 2011 08:57 PM PDT

Andrea Rossi has answered one of the most crucial questions that has plagued cold fusion experiments since the early days.


One of the previous problems encountered by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann back in 1989 was centered around the inability of researchers to reliably reproduce the experiment which generated excess heat (the signature of cold fusion). Replicating and testing the validity of the excess heat production was in part one of the reasons that the world stupidly and prematurely turned it's back on cold fusion. Yesterday, two Gulf Wars, 3 massive oil spills and 2 nuclear disasters later the question was posed by a reader to Andrea Rossi and his answer was yet another blow to the critics. (Another piece of positive information that will be "selectively omitted" from Wikipedia - Ed.).

"Dear Mr. Rossi,


I appreciate the timely response you submitted to my last question. It appears that you have achieved fantastic results with your invention and I expect to see the skeptics run quickly toward the exit when you complete the large project(1 Megawatt) for your first customer.


One question which has always been a serious issue with LENR may be answered by you at this point. How consistant is your ability to create large amounts of excess power? For example, if you made 100 E-Cat devices and began testing, how many would achieve the desired ratios of output to input power? My gut feeling is that your answer would be greater than 90, which would be wonderful. As you know, the original work in LENR was shot down because of the lack of abilitiy to reproduce results. I am sure many other science minded followers like myself would appreciate your kind response.


Thank you for your consideration,

D.R."




"Dear Mr David Robertson:

Our E-Cats are perfectly reproducible and their performance is standard. Out of 100 we guarantee that 100 respect the performance data. Should not be so we could not go deliver in Greece a 1 MW plant, made by 300 E-Cats.

Warm Regards,

A.R"


Andrea Rossi is the inventor of the Energy Catalyzer or (eCatalyzer). A device capable of rendering traditional fuel sources such as oil, coal, gas and nuclear obsolete. The eCatalyzer uses tiny amounts of powdered nickel and pressurized hydrogen as a fuel source producing up to 33:1 ratio of output to input For a summary on the eCatalyzer and what it does please view our Fast Facts video.

We have been reporting on the Energy Catalyzer since it's first public demonstration in January 2011. 4 months on, the mainstream media are still refusing to report on this massive story.

NASA Chief Scientist: Rossi eCatalyzer: "Could Change Geo-Politics / Geo-Economics"

Posted: 01 Jun 2011 04:08 PM PDT

"I think this will go forward fairly rapidly now."


"This is capable of, by itself, completely changing geo-economics, geopolitics of solving quite a bit of [the] energy [problem.] - Dennis Bushnell, Chief Scientist of NASA Langley.

[Partial Transcript of Podcast, Excerpts on Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions]

[This transcript is Copyleft 2011 New Energy Times. Permission is granted to reproduce this text as long as the text, this notice and the publication information are included in their entirety and no changes are made to this text.]

J. William Moore: I’d like to [look at] some of the [energy alternatives] that you think look most promising from your perspective.

Dennis Bushnell: The most interesting, and promising, at this point, in the farther term, but maybe not so far, is low-energy nuclear reactions. This has come out of [22] years of people producing energy but not knowing what it is — and we think we have a theory on it. It’s producing beta decay and heat without radiation. The research on this is very promising and it alone, if it comes to pass, would literally solve both [the] climate and energy [problems.]

MOORE: I find it extremely exciting that there might be something here, so what is it that you think is going on at the atomic level here?

BUSHNELL: Let me back up a little. [Stanley] Pons and [Martin] Fleischmann came out with an experiment that they labeled “cold fusion” about 22 years ago which had replication issues at the time. Also, all of the fusion theorists came out and said absolutely “This is not fusion.” And, of course, they were exactly correct, this is not fusion.

They’ve gone through 20 years of massive experimentation worldwide, in almost every country, where they’ve been able to produce this effect. But all of the energy produced by these “cold fusion” experiments over the last 22 years didn’t produce enough heat to boil water for tea. So people didn’t get too interested in it and nobody knew what it was.

Back in 2005, 2006, [Allen] Widom [and Lewis] Larsen came out with a theory that said, no it’s not “cold fusion,” it’s weak interactions using the Standard Model of quantum mechanics, only the weak interaction part. It says that if you set up one of the cells, and you don’t have to use deuterium, hydrogen works fine, nickel works fine and you don’t need palladium.

If you set this up you produce an electron – proton connection producing ultra-weak neutrons and if you have the right targets out there you produce beta-decay which produces heat.

At that point, in 2006, 2007 we became interested and started setting up a set of experiments that we’re just about ready to start finally, where we’re trying to experimentally validate this Widom-Larsen theory to find out whether or not it explains what’s going on. And in the process, we used quantum theory to optimize the particular surface morphologies to do this.

Then, as you mentioned, in January of this year [Andrea] Rossi, backed by [Sergio] Focardi, who had been working on this for many years, and in fact doing some of the best work worldwide, came out and did a demonstration first in January, they re-did it in February, re-did it in March, where for days they had one of these cells, a small cell, producing in the 10 to 15 kW range which is far more than enough to boil water for tea. And they say this is weak interaction, it’s not fusion.

So I think were almost over the “We don’t understanding it” problem. I think we’re almost over the “This doesn’t produce anything useful” problem. And so I think this will go forward fairly rapidly now. And if it does, this is capable of, by itself, completely changing geo-economics, geopolitics of solving quite a bit of [the] energy [problem.]

MOORE: I think this was either last week or the week before last, I ran a story on this. I went and took a look at it – they were using hydrogen and nickel, I believe, using hydrogen gas and putting that into this device. In looking at the video and photographs, it looks to be about the size of a fist and that thing was running from about 10:45 in the morning till about 4:30 when they finally turned it off — and generating, I forget exactly what it was — but it was a significant amount of energy in the form of steam.

BUSHNELL: It produces heat and did so for days and was in the 12 or 14 kW range and they [will be] producing, with a large number of these devices, a 1 MW power plant.

MOORE: That’s a pretty exciting thing. Do you think that this theory that was developed — are these NASA scientists that were working on that theory?

BUSHNELL: No, the theory was developed by Widom and Larsen. Widom is a faculty member and teacher at Northeastern and Larsen has a company in Chicago.

MOORE: So that looks promising and so you can take and generate steam, and of course, that’s what a nuclear reactor or coal-fired power plant is all about. They’re just there to produce steam and turn a turbine and produce power.

BUSHNELL: Once you’ve got heat, you can do everything. We looked at using LENR to power a space-access rocket and it had better performance conceptually than a conventional nuclear thermal rocket.

MOORE: Wow! Exciting.

Ok, I did not see this thread yet ... until today.

Well this news will connect dome dots doesn't it ?

It could very well explain why Greece is financially targeted and why NATO is seeking strategic dominance over the Mediterranean.
Libya is on some key coordinates right across the pond !

Meanwhile, after reviewing the information on the Comet Elenin conference, it appears that the entire topic is serving as a smokescreen, concealing what is really happening throughout the solar system - see https://youtube.com/user/pscinet for the video discussing the drop in dark energy density - available around 7 a.m. EST this morning. This explains why the elite are rushing to get their ducks in a row by the end of 2012. Advanced energy researchers have developed technologies that primarily tap into the dark energy reservoir and convert dark energy into useable energy. The technologies with the highest gain have been dropping off in terms of output. This video will explain why.

Earlier this month, an advanced energy researcher disclosed information on the decline in dark energy density that began in the early 1980s and has accelerated through today. The rudimentary chart shown in the video was created from the four data points provided during the same conversation. The vertical axis increases from 0% to 100% relative intensity of dark energy density, dropping significantly within the last few years as shown on the graph.

Late 2012 is the projected timeframe for a minimum in dark energy density, which will result in a magnetic pole reversal in late 2012 to early 2013 timeframe. Other advanced energy researchers have confirmed similar observations/measurements and are also preparing for the collapse of our modern civilization.

E-Cat News Coming Fast and Furious

Although Andrea Rossi frequently states that he is not going to do any additional interviews until the one megawatt plant is opened in October, more interviews continue to appear on the internet. One of these was an audio interview on the EV World podcast. In this interview, he shared some interesting information about how his system works, and even compared the pressure and temperatures to that of a White Dwarf star. A full transcription of the interview can be found here.

"Yes. To make it extremely simple, what happens is that nickel has a particularity that protons spread from its surface with extreme efficiency. And very close to the nucleus, even if repelled by the so called coulomb barrier forces. And when we in the reactor inject the hydrogen the protons of hydrogen at high pressures and temperatures, will go pretty close to the nucleus of the nickel. And at those points, we have nuclear effects that produce gamma rays which add more energy and using a particular system to increase the pressure arriving to extremely high pressures... similar to ones that happen to be in the White Dwarf stars. In those situations, it is possible that physically that so called Gamow Factor, which is a probabilistic calculation of the coulomb repelling forces, is overcome, and at that point enough energy is produced to make it worth to be recorded."

Abstract

Hysteresis in nickel pillars has been studied using three-dimensional micromagnetics. The modeling results are compared with the recent experimental measurements on hysteresis in interferometrically patterned pillars as measured via VSM. The modeling results help to understand several features of the experimental hysteresis loops.

Pretty good guess.

Half a page down..I read this:

Andrea Rossi on finding the right Nickel powder

Already from the beginning, Rossi looked at the powder form of the fuel because he wanted to increase the surface area of the Nickel so that more entrance points per volume unit for the hydrogen gas could occur.

Andrea Rossi stresses that, although one might first think "the finer the better" because the finer the powder the more surface area per volume you get, this is not the case; because in order to reach useful reaction rates with hydrogen, the powder needs to processed in a way that leads to amplified tubercles on the surface.

The tubercles are essential in order for the reaction rate to reach levels high enough for the implied total power output per volume or mass to reach orders of magnitude kW/kg - this level of power density is required for any useful application of the process.

Rossi tells that he worked every waking hour for six months straight, trying dozens of combinations to find the optimal powder size for the Energy Catalyzer, or E-Cat. He further stresses that specific data about the final optimal grain size cannot be revealed, but can tell us that the most efficient grain size is more in the micrometer range rather than the nanometer range.

[GCS1103]

At the conference in Ecuador, Brian O'Leary talked about the work Andrea Rossi was doing at Bologna University on cold fusion. He related stories about how scientists who had worked on this previously "disappeared" because of the threat this new energy was to the oil and energy industries.

[Etherios]

its so good that this hasnt being stopped yet... maybe the Elites are truelly losing and all they have left are the media that hides these news still...
