The Silent Energy Revolution: Cold Fusion Gets The Cold Shoulder
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
The world doesn't know it yet, but we are standing on the verge of an energy revolution.
On the 14th January 2011, Italians Andrea A. Rossi and Sergio Focardi announced they had developed a working cold fusion technology capable of generating massive amounts of free energy in a ratio (33/1) that completely wipes the floor with conventional energy from fossil fuels. An amazing 400 watts input versus 15,000 watts output was demonstrated using their device - The Energy Catalyzer or E-Cat as it is known.
A successful test of the 10Kw reactor was demonstrated to 50 invited guests, media and engineers including representatives from the University of Bologna (The oldest University In The World). This university is now also engaged in a year long study of the device.
So what was the exotic fuel that was used to enable these physics busting energy gains? It's probably costly, hard to manufacture and in short supply - right?
Wrong. You may be amazed to find out that this amazing new fuel source is powdered nickel, one of the cheapest and most common materials on the surface of the earth.
Actually, it's powdered nickel and pressurized hydrogen, but quantities so small you would fall of your chair laughing. So small in fact that the reactor only needs a thimblefull or so every six months in it's projected 20 year life expectancy. An as yet undisclosed catalyst enables the reaction, but with patents not yet granted Rossi is staying tight-lipped for now on the secret sauce.
You're thinking what's the downside to all this? There must be some safety issue, after all we're dealing with a fusion technology so there must be radioactive waste products.
Wrong again. The table-top sized reactors leave no trace of radioactivity, simply producing small amounts of copper as a biproduct of the process.
But it's probably decades away from being marketed I hear you say. Nope. Rossi's company in the United States (Leonardo Corporation) is at this very moment gearing up for shipping reactors to customers by late October and mass production to follow on from that.

And for everyone who thinks it must be a scam, Rossi has invested all of his own money in making this a reality and is not accepting offers of investment until the first customer has successfully implemented the working technology. No better peer-review than a working device producing energy.
"We are dealing with a highly disruptive energy technology that is 10-30 times cheaper than conventional energy generation, it's also completely clean and has a virtually inexhaustible fuel supply. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why some folks would see this as a threat." - Free Energy Truth
The first sector to benefit from installation will be factories and industry where red-tape and certifications are limited compared to the safety requirements for home reactors. However, they will no doubt follow soon after as the technology is further refined and developed, no doubt becoming smaller and even MORE efficient over time.
Rossi stated that they have had one reactor running constantly for the last 2 years providing heat for an entire factory. So efficient in fact that the electricity costs were reduced by 90%.
So why have you not heard about this on TV or read it in the newspapers? Well, if you lived in Greece you WOULD have already heard about it. Greek television, a Swedish Tech Blog, PESWIKI and a handful of other alternative media blogs(including this one) HAVE been talking about it since January, desperately trying to get the news out. But a mixture of Charlie Sheen's exploits, two Germans getting hitched and an impenetrable wall of sickly sweet Justin Bieber hype has meant our own "torpedo of truth" has all but missed the U-boat of mainstream news.
But for one article in the Washinton Times, mainstream news coverage has been non-existent, and if you know anything about corporate control of the media it won't take you long to figure out why.
We are dealing with a highly disruptive energy technology that is 10-30 times cheaper than conventional energy generation, it's also completely clean and has a virtually inexhaustible fuel supply. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why some folks would see this as a threat.
The grim reality of nuclear power generation.
Meanwhile, events at the stricken Fukoshima nuclear plant show no sign of improvement. With seawater now contaminated, fish showing signs of contamination and radiocative Iodine 7.5 million times the safe legal limit found near the reactor there can be absolutely no doubt now in anyone's mind that nuclear is not an option.
We now HAVE an alternative, wake up and smell the penne al aribiata!
So in the end, will the Free Energy Truth of an impending energy revolution eventually breach the attention deficit disorder of the distracted masses of Bieberites and Sheen-esque warlocks?
"Duh, winning."
