Commenced January 17, 2011
Eng. Andrea A. Rossi and Professor Sergio Focardi of
the University of Bologna (one of the oldest
universities in the world
[1]), have announced to the world that they have
a cold fusion device capable of producing more than
10 kilowatts of heat power, while only consuming a
fraction of that. On January 14, 2011, they gave the
Worlds' first public demonstration of a
nickel-hydrogen fusion reactor capable of producing
a few kilowatts of thermal energy. At its peak, it
is
capable of generating 15,000 watts with just 400
watts input required. In a following test the same
output was achieved but with only 80 watts of
continual input.
They don't always use the term "cold fusion" do
describe the process, but often refer to it as an
amplifier or catalyzer process.
Focardi states:
- "Experimentally, we obtained copper; and we
believe that its appearance is due to the fusion
of atomic nuclei of nickel and hydrogen, the
ingredients that feed our reactor. Since
hydrogen and nickel 'weigh' with less, copper
must have released a lot of energy, since
'nothing is created or destroyed.' Indeed, the
'Missing Mass' has been transformed into energy,
which we have measured: it is in the order of a
few kilowatts, two hundred times the energy that
was the beginning of the reaction."
[2]
They also claim to be going into production, with
the first units expected to ship by the second half
of October of this year, with mass production
commencing by the end of 2011. The first units will
be used to build a one megawatt plant in Greece.
This one megawatt plant will power a factory that
will produce 300,000 ten-kilowatt units a year.
This would become the world's first
commercially-ready "cold fusion" device. Licensees
are mentioned, with contracts in the USA and in
Europe. Mass production should escalate in 2-3
years. Presently, Rossi
says they are manufacturing a 1 megawatt plant
composed of 125 modules. These modules should begin
shipping by the end of October. On January 31st,
2011, Rossi wrote: "The cost to produce the
catalyzer is 1 cent per MWh generated; the life
expectancy is 20 years; the cost impact is between 1
and 1.5 cents per MWh."
[3]
In describing the operation of the device, he
said: "To start up the reactor you have just to
turn on a switch. The reactor works with enormous
margins of safety, so there is no need of a
particular skill. Just follow the instructions. The
refueling is every 6 months and will be made by our
dealers."
According to Rossi, the demonstrated device shown
on January 14, 2011 is their industrial product that
is claimed to be reliable and safe. In normal
operation it would produce 8 units of output for
every unit of input. Higher levels of output are
possible, but can be dangerous. They will soon start
serial production of their modules. Combining the
modules in series and parallel arrays it is possible
to reach every limit of power. The modules are
designed to be connected in series and parallels.
Rossi also says that they have had one reactor
that has run continually for two years, providing
heat for a factory. It reduced the electric bill by
90%. Also, the reactors can self sustain by turning
off the input, but they prefer to have an input. The
device will be scheduled for maintenance every six
months. You control it "just as you turn on and off
your television set."
More than two thousand prototypes were built and
destroyed in refining the design and learning how to
control and scale up the reaction.

Convinced they have already adequately proven
this to the necessary parties, they are not in a
hurry to give demonstrations to curious scientists.
On January 21, 2011, Rossi
wrote: "Yes there will be a Scientist talking
about us, no demo anyway: no more demos before the
start up of the 1 MW plant."
