Rossi: 1MW Plant Will Mostly Self Sustain

In a seemingly insignificant question and answer session on his website Andrea Rossi has said that the 1MW Defkalion plant being built in Xanthi, Greece, will "will work mostly without energy input".

Dear Andrea Rossi,

please have a look to the picture at the following link: http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=2004

It is you, Stemmenos and Focardi conducing tests on the e-cat. The set-up looks quite different from what we have seen on previous tests pictures, i’m refering specifically to those 4 red devices on the left.

There have been speculations on the internet that those devices may be e-cats in production form but i think they are just peristaltic pumps, am i right?

Can i ask you what kind of test where you performing when the picture was taken?
Thanks you in advance for you patience.

Warm Regards,
AC

Dear Alessandro Casali:

This photo has been taken during the stress test of a sery of E-Cats a couple of weeks ago, together with the Greek Scientist Christos Stremmenos. They are some of the E-Cats that will compound the 1 MW plant. In that phase the E-Cats were working making steam WITHOUT energy input. 

This is why you see us so focused (me and Stremmenos). The 1 MW plant, probably will work mostly without energy input, I suppose, because we are resolving the safety issues connected.

The 4 red spots are pumps, the E-Cat clusters are hidden. The three characters in the photo are Prof. Sergio Focardi , Prof. Christos Stremmenos and me.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

This is a remarkable statement and one that (if realised) will change the way we view energy forever.

Defkalion: E-Catalyzer Market Strategy - Bullet Points

Defkalion Green Technologies s.a. was established for the purpose to manufacture and release to the market products based on the Andrea Rossi E-Cat invention; essentially undertaking the path from invention to industrialization on a global scale. There is no government financing involved.

Science And Technology

Andrea Rossi and Sergio Foccardi have unquestionably succeeded with their invention (Hydrogen and Nickel exothermic reaction, calling it the Energy Catalyzer; commonly referred to as the E-Cat) to create and safely reproduce cheap and clean heat at room temperature conditions and with stable results. This process will create a new global energy era with profound and unequivocally positive social, economic and environmental implications.

Many have labeled Cold Fusion with positive and negative connotations. It has also been referred to as LENR and CANR. Most of these terms hold behind them thousands of hours of research work, all hoping to achieve the ultimate energy dream: limitless energy. However, overall, a stigma has created ambiguous feelings of aiming to reach the end of the rainbow. The science behind the products of Defkalion is none of the above, even though it is identified as such in current media coverage.

It is not the Holy Grail; simply put, it is an exothermic reaction between Nickel and Hydrogen that gives off heat; cheap, clean and green heat. This is a completely new field of science, one that is full of opportunities and challenges. It is a totally new emerging industry; one that will eventually revolutionize the energy sector.

As the leading company, Defkalion is ready to provide its full support to the scientific community at large in order to establish a global platform in this direction.

Product Status

The technology is currently in its final stages of becoming an industrialized and commercially viable prototype. This forms the basis for a broad range of products under the commercial name Hyperion. The current range of products produces surplus energy from 6 to 30 times more heat than energy consumed during its operation. Licensing of all Hyperion products is in progress. A fully functioning 1MW heat producing reactor will be inaugurated in Q4 of 2011.

Patents And Licensing

A national patent has been issued for Italy; the EU patent is on its final stage, while the global patent is pending. Hyperion patents are pending. EU safety certificates are in the process of issuance by the relevant authorities. Product tests will be similar to typical commercially available products with standardized procedures according to Performance; Stability; Functionality; and Safety.

Manufacturing And Factories

Our first factory is already in preparation phase, located in Xanthi, Northern Greece. It
has the following characteristics:

• 6,000m2 space
• Maximum production capacity of 300,000 units annually (kW and MW products)
• IT for monitoring the production line and product support
• Technical support to distribution channels
The assembly of products will include the following activities:
• Assembly of reactors (purchased from Defkalion)
• Build-up of final product (electronics, heat management, etc)
• Quality Control and Total Quality Management and Environmental Control
• Stress Tests and Functional Tests of end products
• Recharging of units
• Recycling procedures

The second factory is scheduled to be built in Xanthi within 2012, comprising of 12,000m2 for a larger assembly line. A third factory, belonging to Praxen Defkalion Green Technologies (Global) Ltd., shall operate as the producer of the industrial secret as the products’ kernel.

Total staff requirements for both factories will be around 380, and include technical expertise in the fields of: mechanical engineering, engineering, electronics, plumbing, data management, and auxiliary.

The 1MW Hyperion will be inaugurated in Q4 of 2011 with its production phase to commence in Q1 of 2012. This first 1MW reactor will be the first large scale unit based on multiples of the smaller Hyperion models in array. It will be used to partially cover the energy needs of the factory. It shall also be used as a show case unit.

With three factories located in Xanthi, the region shall gain in employment but also become an international hub where global investors and partners will visit the factory for business and product viewings.

Product Range

Although Hyperion models produce only heat energy, electricity can be generated with the application of existing third party technology. With regards to electricity generation, consumers will be able to receive a total solution based on mutually confirmed interoperability with third party technologies such as steam turbines and micro-steam turbines, Rankin new generation CHP, as well as intelligent heat management systems.

Hyperion products have different configurations, most notably:

• Series A: Single tube single module CHP: By this configuration, 5-10Kw heat power will be released to operate micro-CHP/micro turbine configurations

• Series B: Multi tube single module CHP: By this configuration, multiples of 5 or 10Kw heat power (max 30kW) can be integrated in the same box , when product has to operate (heat) bigger CHP/micro-CHP or steam turbine configurations

• Series C: Single tube single module heat only: By this configuration, 5-10Kw heat power will be released to operate small steam or hot water demands such as agricultural applications (green houses)

• Series D: Multi tube single module heat only: By this configuration, multiples of 5Kw heat power can be integrated in the same box , when product has to produce substantial amounts of heat for energy demanding applications

• Series E: Single or multi tube modules in parallel: To face the energy demands of big industrial installations at the range of MWs. Such products consists of arrays of A, B, or D series rack-mounted

• Series F: Single or multi tube modules in series: To accelerate power in different configurations

All kW range products have the following dimensions: 55x45x35cm
All MW range products are built within a 20” sized container
All products are connected to Defkalion main computers through on-line GSM for monitoring.

Hyperion advantages:

• Cheap: Hyperion can reduce the price of electricity by 90%

• Abundant: A typical Series C Hyperion 20kW product can generate up to 157 Mw in one year of operation. Regarding raw materials, Greece possesses 83% of Europe’s Nickel deposits. With its own usage, the price of creating Hydrogen will also become economically viable for its abundant use.

• Clean: The use of Hydrogen and Nickel produces Copper. There are no harmful to the environment substances during its production, use and afterlife.

• Green: no hazardous or toxic chemicals are required either in its production or in its consumption, unlike standard fossil fuel residuals.

• Safe: Analyses and tests for Performance, Stability, Functionality, and Safety will all be warranted from international accepted bodies to allay the fears of all potential nay-sayers that it is totally safe with zero radioactive emissions and zero harmful environmental emissions.

• Versatile: A broad spectrum of applications can benefit according to the level of output power. Hyperion products can be used in homes, hospitals, light industry, even propulsion. The extent to which is based on our continuing R&D efforts. Hyperion arguments

• Theories are difficult to kill, but a power-generating process is fairly easy to prove: does it release energy, or not? If the technology works, the theoretical controversy and academic debate won’t stop commercialization.

Defkalion Press Conference Today June 23rd 14:30

Defkalion Green Technologies (Energy Catalyzer Licencees) will hold a press conference today in Athens, Greece. Defkalion have the exclusive rights to sell, license and distribute the Energy Catalyzer technology for Europe. Ampenergo have the rights for the Americas.

From Defkalion own press invitation:

"The press conference will comprise of undisclosed up-to-date information related to the technology's commercial and industrial applications, the company's strategic placements, as well as commercial issues that are of interest not only to Defkalion's future customers, but also to the political society of our country. It goes without saying that such an important development also possesses a strong international dimension in many aspects."

It is anticipated that the company may among other things announce a particular product range / model of e-cat boiler/s to provide home and commercial heating.  There are a wide range of particular applications to which this technology is suited and Defkalion may provide more information on what their target market is.

There are no indications at this point that ANY significant mainstream media reporting will be present which is in line with the current, seemingly coordinated policy of denial, now in it's FIFTH month.

"GREECE'S ANSWER TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRISIS EXOTHERMIC REACTION NICKEL HYDROGEN & CHEAP, CLEAN & GREEN ENERGY"

Greece is currently imposing austerity measures aimed at recovering it's economic status.  Could the energy catalyzer be a catalyst in it's own right and help to restart the faltering Greek economy?

Steaming Mad: Krivit Infuriates Levi With Questions Of Competency

Steven B Krivit,of New Energy Times recently visited Bologna to interview the team working to commercialize the energy catalyzer - Andrea Rossi, Sergio Focardi and Giuseppe Levi. The sun may have been shining and the Italian coffee flowing, but in the end the Colosseum may have been
a more apt venue.

All Steamed Up

Krivit conducted interviews with Andrea Rossi's team and has obtained video footage of the e-cat in operation which he plans to publish in the coming days / weeks. His initial blog post describing the premises and facility where he met with Andrea Rossi and of his interactions with the team seemed to have quite a negative tone throughout.

Krivit's initial assessment describes how he took issue with the way in which the  water content of the steam was measured; According to Krivit, this would potentially have a bearing on the final power output figures. Krivit has suggested that Prof Giuseppe Levi (Prof Emiratus At Bologna University) and by implication Dr Galantini, an expert in his field of chemistry did not measure the steam properly. Roughly equivalent to telling Usain Bolt that his sprinting is crap.

Since that first critical summary blog post it has all went downhill between the two camps.

I asked Rossi to comment on Krivit's point and got the following response.

Dear Mr Rossi,

Can you respond to the recent assertions by Steven B Krivit that the method in which the steam may have been measured previously is potentially giving incorrect measurements of the power capability of the e-cat.

Krivit says in his blog post, “I discussed the crucial difference in steam enthalpy calculations by mass versus by volume with Levi on Wednesday afternoon. Based on his initial response, I could not be sure if he had previously understood the potential impact.” 

I am hoping you can assure us that his concerns are invalid.

Best regards,
Craig

Dear Craig:

Mr Krivit has understood nothing of what he saw, from what I have read in his ridiculous report… This guy has seen for half an hour an E-Cat in the factory where we make many tests, made some questions to Prof. Levi, Prof. Focardi and me. 

Evidently has understood nothing, perhaps for the short time we gave him, also because we have to work: maybe he is angry because we had to send him away from the closed boxes and because we had to say him good bye shortly because we have to make our work. Prof. Levi has explained very well to him how the measures have been made and the importance of the issue. He has explained very well that the percentage of uncondensed water in the steam has been measured in weight (in volume is impossible, for various reasons), and he also got confirmation of this from a specialist from whom he has taken indipendent counsel. Nevertheless, he has understood nothing, or wanted not to understand, for reasons he better knows.

Our tests have been performed by Physics Professors, who know how to make measures , and I am measuring the performance every day on 300 reactors.

In any case we will start our 1 MW plant in october and we will see how it works. Of course I assure his considerations are invalid, but I want to say more: our products on the market will confirm this. Probably this journalist has been sent by someone that wants to dwarf our work.

Warm Regards,
A.R.

Levi also responded to Krivit's post:

Dear, Mr. Krivit

I have carefully read <http://blog.newenergytimes.com/2011/06/16/preliminary-report-of-interviews-with-e-cat-trio-rossi-focardi-and-levi/>your preliminary report on your travel in Bologna. Your report clearly demonstrates that you have not understood anything of what you have seen and what we have explained you. First of all the story about the steam.

As the signature in my email says I got a PhD in Physics years ago. This means that I have totally understood the difference between residual water in steam as fraction of mass or volume. As I have unsuccessfully tried to explain you :

1) The plots you were showing are well known and you can find them in any manual of physical chemistry. They apply when you measure the quantity of steam present as % of VOLUME.

2) As I have told you many times, Dr. Galantini, the expert chemist that was in charge, has done a measure as percent of MASS. As Professor Zanchini has told you the same day we met, one of the crucial informations you have omitted from your preliminary report, a fraction of water in the steam, measured by MASS as we have done, would reduce the amount of measured energy in a linear way. So our calculation and our analysis is correct.

Because you:
Omitted part of information you had, insulted me (and my University) trying to say that I'm not prepared in my field, tried (just tried) to scare me and put me under psychological pressure in order to obtain so far undisclosed data, I will not send you any other information.

Regards,
Dr. G.Levi

Competing Theories

For the rest of us, the main problem seems to be trying to understand the nature of the disagreement. One cannot help wonder despite a generally good level of understanding, whether something was "lost in translation" due to a very small, but nevertheless important language barrier between the two parties.

It is also well-known that Rossi does not subscribe to the Widom-Larsen theory of LENR.  He has let it be known that his own theory of what is happening within his energy catalyzer is something else entirely and he is holding off from explaining his pet theory until November - presumably because it gives an unambiguous clue to what the secret catalyst might be.

Meanwhile, Krivit on the other hand is known to advocate the Widom-Larsen theory and has co-authored a book supporting this explanation entitled "Widom-Larsen Theory: Possible Explanation of LENR. Could there be an underlying friction because they both hold competing theories?

So, was something lost in traslation, was it two competing theories causing friction, or did Rossi want to get on with his work and had little time for a journalist in his already crazy schedule?

Whatever it was it's unfortunate that these things cannot be resolved amicably and not played out for an audience like a soap opera. I have a feeling the "steam issue" will rumble on for a bit yet, but hopefully not boil over.

Rossi eCatalyzer - Peer Review Problem Solved

Time and time again we are hearing the "must be peer reviewed" mantra of the establishment defenders.Who says it must be peer-reviewed? Who exactly? The same people who want to control our access to scientific knowledge and who have vested interests (whether financial or political) in upholding the scientific establishment - that's who. 

Peer review (in an ideal world is a fine system) of cross checking and validation.  However, the reality is that peer review is one of THE most corrupt systems we have ever known and has arguably stifled and supressed development since it's very inception. It is influenced almost entirely by money and corporations, nods, winks and memberships of old boys clubs. If the peer review system existed in it's current form at the time of Einstein he'd never have been published. All peer review has ever done is form an impenetrable elitist group of establishment defenders who are entirely shutdown to new ideas and who feel threatened by change, both in what it means for their egos and for what it means to their careers.

We're also hearing some idiotic comments from people on physics forums and the like.  Most of them say something like "Well, as soon as it's on the front cover of Nature, or TIME magazine then I'll believe it.".  How badly influenced and brainwashed must some people be to disregard all other opinions and base their sense of truth on the influence of establishment rags? Shame on them.

Here is a brilliant exchange between Rossi and a comment poster on his site.

"Dear Andrea Rossi,

A vicious cycle has been created. That must be broken if science and civilization is to advance fast enough.

The vicious cycle.

1. All peer reviewed journals will not publish a paper on LENR, because LENR volatiles the our current laws of physics.

2. Our current law of physics will not change if universities can’t/won’t replicate LENR.

3. All universities will not replicate any LENR experiments, because they were not published in a peer reviewed journal.

4. In the end no LENR experiments can be taken seriously because,

A. LENR was not published in peer review journals.
B. LENR was not replicated by any university.
C. LENR results were not confirmed.
D. Therefore our physics stays the relatively same.
E. Civilization does not advance fast enough.Then the cycle continues again.I hope that you will make a way for not only fixing this cycle but preventing similar cycles from happening again. So that the field of science can advance into higher levels.

I hope that you take this seriously. 

Thank you.Warm Regards,

David Linebarger"

  "Dear Mr David Linebarger:
  On October our 1 MW plant in operation will resolve the problem.
  Warm regards,
  A.R."
  

You really have to admire Rossi's attitude towards the peer review system.  Although the energy catalyzer involves some very new and interesting science, it's primary function as a device is not scientifically important.

What IS important is that the device is put to work for the good of mankind as soon as possible.  This is primarily a COMMERCIAL development which has the ability to radically shake-up the social, political and economic landscape, not to mention going a long way to solve some of the greatest environmental problems that we currently face.

Peer review by the old-boys network has no place in a modern technological society. It really is simple. If it works - then we build it and use it - end of story.

USA To Get 1MW Cold Fusion Power Plant

Energy Catalyzer inventor Andrea Rossi has confirmed that a 1 Megawatt facility will be built in the United States.  For now though, the identity of the mystery firm is not known and won't be until a joint statement is made nearer the time of launch.

The startling information comes from the comments section of Rossi's "Journal Of Nuclear Physics". Until now there was only mention of a "contract of great importance being signed".  It appears that the contract is to build a 1MW power plant somewhere in the United States.

Rossi's company - Leonardo Corporation is located in Florida, so there is speculation that the company in question is located there also.

Rossi loves his new adopted country (USA). He said "everybody who knows me knows how much I owe to the USA, the place of my rebirth and the place where I have chosen to reside and make the manufacturing of our products. I am fighting, as all of you, to give my energies to this great country to overcome the crisis. We are just doing it."

The information comes from the following comments on Rossi's site:

Dear Mr. Rossi,

I continue to follow your E-Cat progress with interest and admiration.

A while back you mentioned that you had signed an agreement with a major U.S. firm and thought that a joint press release would be made soon. Being anxious for the E-Cat to get some mainstream attention in the U.S., I wondered if you can give us any further news/information on the major firm, the nature of the contract, or when we might see the press release.

Thanks and God’s speed on your exciting journey.

Bill Conley



Dear Mr Bill Conley:

I due time we will make a press conference, when the 1 MW plant in the concern of our USA Customer will be in operation. To avoid useless chattering I decided, from now on, to make public only the facts of my Customers’ plants in operation . Too much talking has been done already.

Warm regards,

Energy Catalyzer US Partner Named AMPENERGO : Has Links To DoE

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.

Disruptive Editing: Wikipedia Goons At It Again

The drooling pseudoskeptic establishment defending goons that Wikipedia seems to be good at attracting as page editors are once again using underhand tactics to try and undermine and distort the facts on the public perception. 

This time, their target is the information page on Andrea Rossi and the energy catalyzer. Rossi's (Cold Fusion Device) the energy catalyzer is a revolutionary new energy technology which outperforms coal, oil, gas and nuclear on every aspect from price, portability to safety and has the potential to be a new primary energy source.

Top Of Google Searches - WHY?

Wikipedia articles usually appear as one of the first links in the majority of all Google searches.  This position of authority and generally held assumption as "the authority on truth" is completely without justification given the ability of anyone (regardless of knowledge) to anonymously edit and therefore negatively influence public opinion through the use of biased editing and omission.


The edits and "talk" contain references to "perpetual motion machines", magicians pulling rabbits out of a hat, and various other references to perceived pseudoscience.  This is a tactic that has long been used by the pseudo-skeptic community.  The aim here is to discredit by association with a fringe topic or notion.

Brian Josephson - Nobel Prize winning Physicist among others has made edits to the page which have been consistently deleted  due to the establishment protection bias of the Wikipedia self-appointed "information police".

The activities taking place here (and this is prevalent in many subject matter areas where an establishment bias is held) are primarily examples of:

Disruptive and tendentious editing

• attempting to discredit sources
• acting so as to prevent balance being achieved in the introductory section

This latest abuse of power and abuse of the Google ranking system is a deliberately
orchestrated attack on the truth about energy technology that could transform the world.

In this next instance Mats Lewan (NYTeknik Writer) quite rightly points out that they've been changing the phrase "is" to "was" to skew the meaning of the paragraph into the negative.

"I've noted that some of you have changed back and forth between "is" and "was" in the phrase  "The plant which would supply heating for Defkalion's own purposes only, was supposed to be inaugurated in October 2011." Please explain your changing. As far as I know (I was the one who wrote the original piece based on my own interviews with Defkalion and Rossi) the plan for inauguration in October is still on track." --Matslewan (talk) 22:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

And here there is an obvious attempt to find negative aspects on Rossi and his character.

"Is there someone with a stronger background in the Italian language who can look at it:Petroldragon? It looks like this guy has had some serious legal issues in the past relating to a 'green' technology company. TenOfAllTrades(talk)".

Here Mats Lewan's character is being attacked in a failed attempt to try and discredit his information.

"The article is entirely supported by blog entries, half by an IT writer who for the most part is just repeating the inventor's assertions, and half from the inventor's self-published
web site. The article is largely structured as yet another blog, with an entry for each spate of press releases (one section for each press conference, plus one for their nearly-invisible company). Right now, this is a dreadful article that grants undue weight to unreliable sources. I'm beginning to believe that proper secondary sources just don't exist for this topic right now, and that it isn't appropriate for Wikipedia to have an article on this at all right now."

"For what it's worth, I don't think that Lewan is involved in any sort of deception himself; I consider it much more likely that he's just getting played. In any event, a blogger is not a good sole source for what would be – if true – this century's most stunning technological advance." TenOfAllTrades(talk) 00:14, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

"Why are you referring to a reporter for a well-established technical newspaper as a 'blogger'? Do you not appreciate the difference between the two forms of literature? People can consult the W. article on Ny Teknik if they are unclear as to the importance of the publication that Lewan writes for." Brian Josephson (talk) 22:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Here, AndyTheGrump lives up to his name with some good old fashioned establishment defending. Doesn't he realize that Time magazine, Nature et al will need to be dragged kicking and screaming before admitting to the fact that the energy catalyzer is a real phenomenon.

"The policy regarding extraordinary/fringe science is well established, and until the scientific community recognises the validity of this device, we won't. End of story." - AndyTheGrump

Here, he conveniently ignores Kullander and Essen's report and the work of the University of Bologna and University of Upsalla, not to mention another dozen or so physicists and engineers who've ACTUALLY been present and supervising an e-cat experiment.

"Personally, my highest-level qualification is in the social sciences, rather than in physics,
but since all the evidence suggests that this 'phenomenon' is either a hoax, or the product of self-deception, I'd argue that makes me well qualified to comment.": AndyTheGrump

"There is no independent coverage in the mainstream scientific press, peer-reviewed or otherwise. Realistically, this article shouldn't exist – and shouldn't be providing free publicity – until after there is either independent, peer-reviewed scientific reporting of the device and its mechanism (admittedly, unlikely)"...TenOfAllTrades

"Prof. TenOfAllTrades, how are you planning to explain the observed temperature rise on
conventional grounds? Numbers please, not faith! Re work previous to Rossi, an example is the work of Claytor, done at LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory) of which you may or may not have heard, which detected definitive signatures of tritium." --Brian Josephson

"It seems to be a prevailing myth that work in this field is not published in the regular
journals -- if you look at the excellent Library at lenr.org you will find many examples."

This behavior is standard practice by the establishment defending anonymous "experts" who hide behind pseudonyms while attacking the truth and trying to manipulate and distort any facts that they don't like.

Prof Josephson makes this stunningly accurate summary on his homepage.

Sociological comment: "Sources such as Nature appear to want to bury this news; at what point will it become so widely known that they will no longer be able to ignore it?" - Prof Brian Josephson

The blatant attempts to distort the truth by self-appointed "experts" has been all too obvious in recent days and is continuing now as we speak.

Wikipedia should never be trusted as a source of truth and accuracy as it is only reflective of the prejudices of the page editors who in most cases are establishment goons closed off to independent thought and hell bent on protecting the status quo.

E-Catalyzer News: Latest Information Part 3

Andrea Rossi's e-catalyzer technology will change the world as we know it.  The e-catalyzer or (e-cat) is the world's first commercial cold fusion technology in production right now with a 1MW facility due to open in the United States and Greece. 

With a massive 33:1 power output ratio, it is safe, reliable and a fraction of the cost of conventional energy sources such as oil, gas, coal and many pseudo green technologies. With further refinement and power optimizations in progress, this is the technology certain to transform our society and lift the world economy into a new energy revolution and a period of very rapid change.

We have been reporting this story since January when the first demonstration took place.  Since then, there have been multiple validations, and thanks to an ongoing dialogue with the inventor Andrea Rossi we have been able to produce regular ecat news updates.  Additionally we are tracking new developments via quick informational videos - the latest of which is posted below.

Andrea Rossi Energy Catalyzer News Part 3

 

Mainstream television, radio and news websites are still ignoring or refusing to cover the story, despite the obvious magnitude of this development and it's implications for the world.

Cold Fusion Device E-Catalyzer Granted Italian Patent

Andrea Rossi's revolutionary new cold fusion technology, the "Energy Catalyzer" which is in full production at this moment, has been granted an Italian patent.

The Italian Patent Office granted a patent for Rossi's energy catalyzer on 6th April.  The patent runs out on April 9th 2028. The granting of the patent is yet another significant step in the acceptance of this legitimate technology on it's path to worldwide acceptance.

Rossi's energy catalyzer or "e-cat" as it is also known, has a power density to cost  ratio which beats all fossil fuel sources hands down, is completely safe and has the added benefit of being scaleable from 2.5Kw to Multi Megawatt facilities. If you couple that with the fact that it's fuel supply (powdered nickel) is so cheap and abundant you can quite clearly see that the energy catalyzer has the ability to revolutionize the world. 

There is no longer any reason to burn oil, coal or gas, except for the fact these fuel sources are already heavily integrated into our existing infrastructure. The biggest problem for the e-cat at the moment is that most people have not came to terms with the fact that it is a real technology and is not a hoax.  This only goes to prove that as a species we are so highly conditioned to reject anything that goes contrary to accepted physics and beliefs.  Those people who still remain sceptical of the validity of the energy catalyzer should re-examine the validations that have occurred to date.

Since January this year there have been no less than 4 highly impressive and successful demonstrations of the energy catalyzer, each time producing Kilowatts of power from just a few hundred watts input. To date there have been successful validations from University Of Bologna, Italy, and tests carried out in the presence of Sven Kullander (Professor Emeritus at Uppsala University) who is also chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Energy Committee and Prof Hanno Essen associate professor of theoretical physics and a lecturer at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society. Essen sits on the committee that decides Nobel prizes for physics and chemistry. 

Those tests conducted showed energy production that massively exceeds the capabilities of ANY possible chemical reaction.  The conclusion from Kullander and Essen was - "Any chemical process for producing 25 kWh from any fuel in a 50 cm3 container can be ruled out. The only alternative explanation is that there is some kind of a nuclear process that gives rise to the measured energy production."

 ”You just have to embrace a new technology that might solve the energy problems of mankind, at least until it can be rejected,” Swedish professor Sven Kullander said in a scientific discussion on the Italian ‘energy catalyzer’.

Rossi has been holding off on disclosing what the secret catalyst in the nickel / hydrogen reaction is until the patents have been granted. Although an Italian patent has been granted Rossi has said he will not speculate on what he thinks is enabling the reaction until nearer the time of the 1MW facility opening.

The Italian patent is a good first step, but there are still issues to be fought with the granting of priceless European and US patents.

Meanwhile, the coverage from mainstream media has been zero (especially strange when you think of recent events in Fukoshima, Japan). To date only a handful of blogs and sites including this one are regularly reporting the news of these world-changing events and recently I asked Rossi if he had any interview requests from major media to which he answered an emphatic "No".

There are always conspiracy theories surrounding the suppression and denial of important information to the general public that could upset the money and power balance of the world.

In this case however it is conspiracy FACT. One hundred and seventeen (117) days and counting of absolute stonewalled silence on arguably the greatest scientific advance in living history.

Now THREE E-Catalyzer Factories To Manufacture Cold Fusion Modules

"We have the final product in our hands, not the experimental one, exactly the one that we are going to produce. It works excellent."

• 3 Cold Fusion Catalyzer Manufacturing Facilities On The Way
• Final Commercial Product Design Of E-Catalyzer Ready To Go
• 200 Million In Investment
• 300,000 Energy Catalyzers Produced Per Year
• Several "Important Countries" already requesting the Ecat modules.

RAI TV News (an Italian TV station) recently featured a lengthy news item on Andrea Rossi and his energy catalyzer invention.  Among those interviwed were Swedish scientists Sven Kullander of Upsalla University who is also chairman of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Energy Committee and Hanno Essen (Associate professor of theoretical physics at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society). They recently said of the energy catalyzer:

“Any chemical process should be ruled out for producing 25 kWh from whatever is in a 50 cubic centimeter container. The only alternative explanation is that there is some kind of a nuclear process that gives rise to the measured energy production.”

Defkalion Green Technologies

The news item also featured a fascinating question and answer session with executives Alexandros Xanthoulis and David C. Aurel from Defkalion Green Technologies interviewed by Angelo Saso from RAI TV. The Defkalion factory will be the site of the inaugural October 1MW Energy Catalyzer Plant. The plant to be built in Xanthi, Greece, will be the first ever cold fusion power facility in history to be developed. Defkalion will also have exclusive license to manufacture and sell the energy catalyzer modules.

Here, Defkalion executive Alexandros Xanthoulis indicates that the first plant in Xanthi, Greece will be used as a reference site for other businesses interested in pursuing the ecatalyzer for their energy generation needs.

Alexandros Xanthoulis: "The 1MW facility in Xanthi will however we will also use it as a presentation or showcase for future potential interested parties."

Angelo Saso "Is the Energy Catalyzer ready for the market?"

Alexandros Xanthoulis: "We have the final product in our hands, not the experimental one, exactly the one that we are going to produce. It works excellent."

David C. Aurel: "Actually the device what we are going to sell  (or let's say provide) is going to be a 10kW device producing solely heat.

Angelo Saso: "How much will it consume in terms of fuel and money?"

David C. Aurel: "Again speaking about households will have no other charges or costs except for the leasing fee because we will provide all the ingredients for the device."

Angelo Saso: How many devices will you run out?

David C. Aurel: "As many as we can produce. As a rule of thumb we can assume a final full capacity of 300,000 units per year."

The narrator Angelo Sasso then goes on to say that "A factory to commence production and a further 2 on paper." So it would seem that the plant in Greece is just the first of at least THREE energy catalyzer facilities.

The question of who is behind this company comes up and is answered by David C Aurel - "Defkalion is funded by a group of non-governmental entities. It's not just private investors but they are entities also in industry and international. They come from different parts of the world."

Angelo Saso: How much money will be invested in the project?

"Well to cover Greece and Balkans we estimate about 200 million.. I believe it 100%, our investors believe it 100%. and if you see the messages we are getting from all over the world, they believe it 100%. There are several countries (important countries) who are already requesting to buy the product from us.

170 E-Cat Fusion Modules Now Ready For Installation

Today we learned from Andrea Rossi that 170 of the 300 E-Cat Fusion Modules required for the 1MW plant in Greece have been produced.  

Rossi is a very hard working individual and is currently doing 18 hours a day, getting up at 5am and working most of the time in his factory helping to make the E-Cat modules for the opening of the first fusion power facility, or "catalyzer farm".

The plant which is due to open in October this year will consist of 300 E-Cat modules linked together.  The objective is simple: "to make heat".

Yesterday, Rossi's technology was featured on Italian TV News station RAI.  Unfortunately it is not accessible to anyone who doesn't speak Italian. However, it did spread more awareness (at least in Italy) that we have a new primary energy source. 

RAI TV News Feature On Rossi's Energy Catalyzer

In another intriguing question and answer session on his website, Rossi was asked "Have you ever observed the inside of your reaction chamber through a window of some sort when it is operating? If there is electron movement in the nickel from shell to shell there should be energy jumps which will produce visible photons.The area about the nickel should be illuminated."

Rossi gave a very interesting reply: "Yes, I did. The information about what I saw is confidential."

Meanwhile, the mainstream media are still holding out their record breaking silence on the Rossi story - which is probably the biggest story in a lifetime. Instead of the conveniently overlooked news that we are on the verge of an energy revolution that will affect every man woman and child, we are being fed live CNN coverage of Osama Bin Laden's second death.  The first death he had was in 2002 from Kidney Failure, the second seems to be from the results of being defrosted.

Rossi Energy Catalyzer Further Validated By NyTeknik

Andrea Rossi's Cold Fusion Technology the Energy Calalyzer or "E-Cat" has been successfully validated by Swedish Technology Magazine NYTeknik - Seaparate Test will be on Italian TV News Thursday May 5th

Rossi and associate at the April 28th tests

The new tests were conducted in Bologna on 19 and 28 April, 2011. "The objective was to measure the net energy that the device generates as accurately as possible." "The results of the two tests showed a developed net power of between 2.3 and 2.6 kilowatts – of the order of a large stove plate. Input electric power was in the order of 300 watts." Using a smaller e-cat (e-kitten) than normal the team calculated the output power from the amount of water boiled into steam. 

(ESSENTIAL VIEWING: Video embedded in NYTeknik article is in English and shows technical explanation of various parts and also the E-Cat in Operation)

This news now provides FURTHER INDEPENDENT validation of Rossi's cold fusion technology after Swedish scientists Hullander and Essen also validated the power output just recently.

E-Cat Test To Be Shown On Italian Television

In the first test on April 19, the national Italian television channel RAI was present and its report will be broadcast on the channel RAI News (live streaming here) Thursday, May 5th at 20:35. In the second test on April 28 only Ny Teknik, the inventor Andrea Rossi, and a colleague of his were present.

We've been tracking the major developments in the story since January and have produced the following 2 videos for people who want a quick summary of the important events.

97 E-Cats In Operation Right Now Accross 4 Countries

Andrea Rossi Pictured With E-Cat

Yesterday we found out some amazing information. In one of Andrea Rossi's question and answer sessions on his blog he was asked some questions to which he gave some startling answers.

How many e-cats are in continuous operation today? - 97
How many geographic locations are e-cats running today? - 4
Are there any e-cats running in the US with businesses you own or individuals you trust? - YES

So to recap on this, Rossi is saying that at this moment there are 97 e-cats installed and working accross 4 different countries, with some already installed in the businesses of trusted individuals. The 4 countries are presumably USA (Rossi's Company Leonardo Corp), Italy, Greece and it's anyone's guess what the 4th one is.

Andrea Rossi is the inventor of the e-cat (energy catalyzer).  A commercially viable cold fusion technology which is going into full production later this year. If you are new to the story and need some some quick facts on this remarkable technology please watch this video.

Please share this information as far and as wide as possible as we are encountering a high level of resistance in the mainstream media over the non-coverage of this important discovery.

E-Cat To Be Official Launch Name

Yesterday during a question and answer session, Andrea Rossi confirmed to me that his cold fusion technology will be officially named the "E-Cat".  

Up until this point we have known his technology by many names - such as the energy catalyzer, e-catalyzer, Rossi Catalyzer among others, so it was good to finally settle on something the world can agree on. I posed some other questions to Rossi to which he gave quite concise answers.

"The single most important development in recent history, but it's not worthy of mention."
 

I asked him if he had "made any agreements / partnerships with official govt agencies eg: DoE to facilitate the rollout / distribution of your technology?" to which he replied NO.  It had been previously postulated that the agreement "of tremendous importance" he recently signed in the USA was a collaboration between his company US based (Leonardo Corp) and the Department Of Energy. Now we know this to be untrue.

Amazingly, (and we say deliberately) Rossi confirmed that he has not been asked for an interview by ANY of the major media networks.   It is blatantly obvious that there is an ongoing deliberate and orchestrated attempt to stop the public becoming aware of Rossi's E-Cat, which when you set it against the backdrop of the recent Fukoshima nuclear disaster, makes the media silence all the more stark. The single most important development in recent history and in a time of crisis, but it's not worthy of mention.


I also asked Rossi if he could give an indication of when the e-cat units would become available for purchase to those in industry who would benefit from the installation of this technology.  His answer was October / November this year.


I posed this particular question due to the volume of emails we are getting asking where and how you can buy an e-cat.  Many of the people interested have their own factories and communities that would benefit from going off-grid. At the moment it is still unclear how the e-cats will be sold and in which countries they will be available, although it is expected that Greece will be leading the field in free energy as we approach 2012.

PR Watch: "Media Ignores Energy Breakthrough"

Free Energy Truth are not the only ones to notice how the stunning E-Cat energy breakthrough made by Andrea Rossi and his team is being deliberately ignored by the mainstream press. 

Ann Landman of The Centre for Media and Democracy's site "PR Watch" has recently written a fantastic article exposing the seemingly deliberate silence. We congratulate Ann for her courage to speak up and tell it like it is in a world filled with corporate backroom deals and corporately controlled media. Our Fifth Estate ceased to be a check and balance a long time ago and now does not answer to the public, but serves it's money masters.

The silence by the controlled mainstream press is particularly noticeable and also inexcusable given the dramatic loss of life and ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan which now dwarfs the Chernobyl Event in terms of seriousness.

Anne Landman: Managing Editor of the Center for Media and Democracy

"The mainstream media has all but bypassed a truly remarkable development that could potentially be the biggest breakthrough in energy production since the discovery of fire". - Ann Landman

Ann sums the situation up perfectly here:

"The American media seems either unwilling or unable to grasp the significance of the Energy Catalyzer, or is omitting discussion of it for other reasons. The absence of news about the Energy Catalyzer, we could postulate, might be because it poses a threat to powerful American corporations that both control big media outlets and are vested in the energy production status quo. (Think General Electric, which both owns NBC and manufactures traditional nuclear fission reactors.) There would also appear to be motive enough to continue this news block as climate change pushes more policymakers to reconsider the more dangerous traditional nuclear power, and as corporations that benefit from recent huge price hikes in fossil fuels continue to rake in fabulous wealth with no end in sight."
