Rossi: No More eCat Public Tests

Andrea Rossi has confirmed that there will be no more public tests of his eCat technology.

He has of course said this before and then ended up doing more public tests, so there is every reason to believe that this situation will change.  With huge public interest in this and a recent media feeding frenzy it is hard to imagine no more public tests.

He said

"Dear UClaimExcessEnergy:

Again lecturing about tests !!! We receive 5 to 10 proposals per day to make tests around the world, most of them from competitors, of course. Please, read carefully:

1- we made all the tests we had to make
2- no more public tests will be made, the phase of public tests is over for us
3- we now are no more making test-prototypes, but industrial products
4- the tests of our E-Cats from now on will be made exclusively by our Customers
5- all our next work with Universities (Bologna, Uppsala) will not be public, but restricted and confidential Research and Development activity.

Warm Regards,

Andrea Rossi"

Let's Make History: eCat 1MW Fusion Test Starts Today

Today in Bologna something very special will happen that could potentially touch the lives of everyone on the planet.

Andre Rossi's 1MW eCat Plant will begin operation in a series of tests designed to prove the technology to the US based customer - and more importantly to the waiting world.  A successful test of the 1MW Energy Catalyzer should be enough to take us into a new era of cheap, clean energy generation, possibly triggering a positive economic tide to lift all ships.

The only clue we have to the identity of the mystery customer who is in charge of the tests came from blogger Daniele Passerini yesterday when he said "it is a well-known and largest industrial group". Yesterday we speculated that it could be General Electric and duly sent off a press inquiry to them, however as of this date we have not recieved a reply. 

Rossi confirmed on his blog that he is raring to go with a "We are  Ready!" proclamation. But this time Rossi will take more of a back seat during these tests.

Rossi: "We Are Ready!"

RockEye October 27th, 2011 

 Dear Mr. Rossi I just want to wish you good luck and go change the world tomorrow!! 

October 27th, 2011 

Dear RockEye: 

Thank you: now it’s 4 p.m. of the 27th, and we are finishing the cosmetics of the plant. I think tomorrow we will make, with the help of God, a good job. My work, basically, is finished. Within one hour the Consultants of the Customer will arrive to start the check of all the parts of the plant and prepare all their stuff for the test of tomorrow. Until some hour ago I felt a strong pressure, now, at the eve of the battle, as usual, I am recovering all my coldness and calm. We are ready. Warm Regards, A.R. 

Brad Arnold sums the mood up perfectly when he said:

"I don’t think it is too grandiose to say the hopes and dreams of countless people alive now, and that are yet unborn, are on Rossi this week. The importance of this occasion can not be overstated.

I pray the “customer” will quickly commercialize the e-cat “container” when it checks out. The sooner it is proven via the only certain way (i.e. successful commercialization), the sooner the R&D departments of countless corporations around the world will kick in and start integrating it to various applications. Cars, ships, desalination plants, home heaters, power plants, portable electrical generators, water heaters…the applications are endless and the world is waiting."

In addition to the people listed we are told that there will be "prominent scientific journalists" in attendance, so let your mind wander on that one for a bit. If the test goes to plan and the customer is happy, then over the next few weeks the ripples from this will spread out like a tsunami as people start to take notice.  It's hard to imagine how the media silence can be maintained on the back of unquestionable proof of a new clean primary energy waiting to be tapped.

 

Safety

There is always the question of safety when you are dealing with super-heated steam, but Rossi has always maintained that the eCat has very good safety built in should anything go wrong.  But this is a slightly different proposition. 52 eCats running simultaneously inside a shipping container is a whole different ballgame.  Hopefully all will go well on the night regarding the safety of the participants.

Live Webcam?

We still do not have any indication if there will definitely be a live webcam feed of the test - email us at ecat@overunity.co if you know differently and we'll put the link up for everyone to see.

Hourly Updates On Rossi's Blog

We are told there will be hourly updates of all the goings on over at Rossi's Blog. Where exactly, remains a mystery.

Don't know about you, but I'm off to stock up on popcorn.

eCat: Customer Is Large, Well Known Industrial Group

Rossi Inside The 1MW Fusion Plant

Yesterday there was a rumor doing the rounds  that Rossi's customer was in fact the US Navy. Today however, Daniele Passerini, the Italian blogger and close friend of Giuseppe Levi (who is normally clued into inside information) said the customer "is a well-known and large industrial group".

"And finally we come to the E-Cat, in particular the first test plant of 1 MW.  Beyond the short time available to me to write, I have very good reasons at this time to keep a low profile and not talk about it on the blog, I'd rather not say more until October 29. Then try to make it up to an account by providing as much detail as possible, but as far as possible. I hope that by then there may be updates as well on the opening of the E-Cat experiments in Uppsala and University of Bologna.

I confirm that there is a customer interested in buying the 1 MW if the test is successful: it is a well-known and largest industrial group (I gave my word not to say below). I confirm that the test set-up mode is "closed doors" have been requested by the customer."

Passerini has since January, been a proven highly credible source of information because of his friendship with Giuseppe Levi and his close involvement with behind-the-scenes events in Bologna.  A well-known, large industrial group who could put their weight and financial muscle behind mainstream adoption of LENR could catapult the eCat from relative obscurity to the most talked about phenomena in living memory.

It is extremely difficult to think of another prior development or invention in history that could bring such dramatic change in a short time to so many people. But with the promise of change and shifting economic and geopolitical power balances comes censorship from the networks of mainstream corporations that really run the planet.

Reporting on the eCat is like fighting an information war and like any war the first casualty is always the truth.

More Mainstream Media Censorship

Yesterday, we also had some more concerning reports of mainstream censorship of the eCat and all the events in Bologna.Vaughan Granfield used our Open Blog to tell us the following:

"I have recently been bloging the British  news paper called The Guardian about various possibilities and possible applications  of how the e/cat may help humanity industry and the environment .But i find that they are removeing all traces of any blog that even uses the words Andrea Rossi or E/cat except a few just to cover themselves. If any British bloggers dare, try the guardian and see how free we are."

*Free Energy Truth has also separately contacted a handful of very high profile media figures and organizations for comment on the eCat and have received either no response, or no comment.

Wikipedia Gatekeepers Continuing Their Own Brand Of Censorship

"On October 6th 2011 an E-cat ran in a completely stable self sustained mode for over three hours. The power output was estimated to be between two and three kilowatts. Roland Pettersson, retired Associate Professor from the University of Uppsala, who witnessed it said "I'm convinced that this works, but there is still room for more measurements", was removed entirely. It's sourced to a reliable source so I see no need to delete it. - Liftarn

"Quite right too - until we see the results of independent scientific investigations published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal, to describe such fluff as 'information' is a breach of Wikipedia policy. - AndyTheGrump

So there you have it folks.  If information does not exist in a peer reviewed publication, then it does not exist, (According to Wikipedia), even when that information comes from a reputable source. The information the masses are getting to see by is being filtered, sanitized and cherry picked.  Perhaps the drooling pseudosceptics who police Wikipedia have part-time jobs manning the Chinese Firewall?

I've got news for them. They will lose the information war.

The Silent Energy Revolution: Cold Fusion Gets The Cold Shoulder

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.

 

Sergio Focardi And Andrea Rossi Pictured With Energy Catalyzer

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."
