This week's highlights include: Brillouin Energy Corporation looking to begin licensing LENR boiler technology within a year; discussion of Rossi's interview on OilPrice.com; Dr. Miley's March 23 lecture, "A Game-Changing Power Source Based on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions" and it's lack of coverage.

Once again, we bring you a compilation of various news items about Andrea Rossi's E-Cat that have emerged since our March 29 compilation.

Mainstream news sources are indicated with the yellow highlight.

 
  • Interviews
  • Production

  • Applications

  • Commentary 

    • Why Are You Still Following This Story? - A recent comment on this site got me thinking. Someone simply wrote, "Incredible that this stunt is still continuing." This obviously comes from someone who thinks that the whole E-Cat story is some attention-seeking (or money-seeking) attempt. But it does make me wonder why, after so many months, people continue to follow this story.. (E-CatWorld; March 31, 2012)
      • The Hope For an LENR Tomorrow - Thanks to the many readers who have responded to the previous post asking why people continue to follow the E-Cat/LENR story. There were many posts from people who are not regular posters, and a common theme in many of these comments was that the hope for a better energy source is what keeps people... (E-CatWorld; April 1, 2012)
    • Mr. Rossi, Defkalion, you could save Europe! - I Just read this headline: Europe's economic joker: cheap energy. The article basically says that Europe has a significant untapped supply of cheap shale gas. It goes on to make a compelling case that the cheap energy could rescue Europe from its economic plight. But LENR could as well, and could do so more quickly than gas could. (NickelPower; April 3, 2012)
    • Cold Fusion 2012: E-cat between politics and TV. News begins to go out (Original in Italian) - The story of the E-Cat by Andrea Rossi continues to be debated in both the classroom and in the Italian parliamentary broadcasts. (WebmasterPoint; March 26, 2012)
  • Skeptics
    • Cold Fusion E-Cat… Not - ...just the possibility of such an emission would required extensive investigations and years of work in order to provide the necessary certifications. So, you see? If it is nuclear, Rossi can't sell it. If it is not nuclear, who would buy it? A classic no-win situation. (CleanTechnica; April 2, 2012)
  • Humor
    • Electrochemists Sight Morons - Electrochemists from three major research institutions – NASA, MIT, and SRI – have announced the discovery of a remarkable new subatomic particle, dubbed by scientists the "Beta Decay Moron," or "BDM" for short. It has relevance in many of the "overunity" phenomenon being reported by free energy researches. (PESN; April 1, 2012)
  • Other Cold Fusion Competitor News
    (Typically also mention E-Cat)
    • Italian Inventor Andrea Rossi Talks About E-Cat Competition - ...he is more interested in the product that his competitors will be able to produce and not on their theories. He also said that if he finds their product competing with the Rossi Home E-Cat that will be the only time when he will buy their LENR device from them and study their products.

    • Defkalion
      • Third party testing still under way, still going well. -- Sterling
      • Defkalion Could Start Marketing LENR Device in July - There is an unsubstantiated claim that Defkalion is planning to start marketing an LENR device in July. Posts to Chris Martenson's online forum by somebody called Woomera make some interesting claims about what is going on at the Greek company. Defkalion has announced that it is testing a home LENR device it calls the Hyperion. (EnergyCatalyzer3; March 30, 2012)
    • Brillouin 
    • Dr. Miley 
      • What Happened to Dr. Miley? - Dr. Miley was scheduled to give a lecture on March 23, the 23rd anniversary of the announcement of Drs. Pons and Fleishmann, at the New Emerging Technologies for Space conference in the The Woodlands, TX. The lack of any coverage of this event has left many puzzled and bewildered. Based on the abstract released before the conference, his lecture was to be entitled "A Game-Changing Power Source Based on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions." (E-CatSite; April 4, 2012)
  • General Cold Fusion
    • Nuclear: Italian industries earn 500milioni euros while the cold fusion remains to pole (Original in Italian) - But while nuclear fusion is finding funds and roundtables to discuss its future development, cold fusion is at stake. So many ifs and but around the low-energy reactions (LENR). The good news however circulating the same, and it is the mouth of the engineer Rossi that the press has learned that a device of E-Cat 1MW would be almost ready for the American market. (InternationalBusinesTimes; April 3, 2012)
    • Indian Newspaper Column Calls For Government LENR Program - Here's more evidence that LENR is being taken seriously in various parts of the world. B.S. Raghavan, writing a column in the Hindu, an Indian English language newspaper, calls for Indian government scientific advisors to study the current research on LENR and brief the Indian government about it. Raghavan cites a speech recently given by former Associate Director of... (E-CatWorld; April 4, 2012)
    • The Evidence for LENR - "Over 2 decades with over 100 experiments worldwide indicate LENR is real, much greater than chemical…" –Dennis M. Bushnell, Chief Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) using nickel and hydrogen is a clean, very very cheap, (…) (ColdFusionNow; March 29, 2012)
    • LENR: Part of the Onward March of Technological Progress - I'd like to thank Sterling Allan of PESN for bringing attention to the recent three part BBC series on the history of electricity. ...As I have watched these shows I cannot help drawing parallels between the current state... After watching these programs (each segment an hour long), one of the things that stands out most to me is just how crucial the efforts of a very small group of people who have dedicated themselves to the advancement of knowledge have been upon the world. (E-CatWorld; April 3, 2012)
    • Who will be the big Players? - I'm curious how people feel about the long term outlook of LENR as far as who becomes the big players. Lets assume LENR is real and turns into a replacement for oil and gas. (NickelPower; March 30, 2012)
