Once again, we bring you a compilation of various news items about
the various LENR companies. This one goes back to our
July 18 compilation. Last week, the Defkalion demo was our focus;
and you can find the myriad of links we posted regarding that at
Event:2013:July:Defkalion_Demonstrations
Mainstream news
coverage can be found over on the Defkalion
demo blog.

Back to the E-Cat — Rossi’s Level of Satisfaction is
‘Top’ - It’s not as easy as it once was to get
Andrea Rossi to talk about his work. It appears that his new
partners have put some restrictions on what he can publicly
state — actually not very surprising considering the way
corporations go about their business in highly competitive
environments. Rossi has made it... (E-CatWorld; July

Big Surprises Still to Come From Rossi & Co? -
Rossi is still being coy about what he is up to. A few weeks
ago he mentioned that ‘big surprises’ were coming, but gave
no details. Here is a new exchange about that topic from
today. Giuliano Bettini July 20th, 2013 at 3:17 AM Dear

Rossi: Can’t Find Stirling Engine Fit for Purpose
- If you remember, a few weeks ago Andrea Rossi put out a
request on the Journal of Nuclear Physics, asking if anyone
had a Stirling Engine that might be suitable to work with an
E-Cat. He said, “Please send your proposals for Sterling
Engines to be coupled with the E-Cats (power 5 kW and... (E-CatWorld;

Andrea Rossi Answers Questions (JONP Follow-up) -
Just recently, Frank Acland – a frequent poster on the
Journal of Nuclear Physics and administrator of his own
E-Cat related site, E-cat World, – asked Andrea Rossi some
questions concerning development of the E-Cat. (ECatReport;

E-Cat FAQs - Andrea Rossi recently provided some
pertinent information to the readers of the Journal of
Nuclear Physics. As questions continue to come to the
journal, many of them are simply the same question worded in
different ways. (AndreaRossiECat;

Brainstorming E-Cat Ideas On JONP - Steven Karels is
a frequent commenter on the Journal of Nuclear Physics. He
recently provided an idea to Andrea Rossi on a possible
source of power for the E-Cat. Andrea Rossi seemed quite
interested. Here is Karels’ suggestion: “... do you believe
an LENR output of power could be obtained with a Nickel
nanopowder (no catalyst) and a low pressure (<1 atmosphere)
plasma of Hydrogen.... (ECatReport; July 29, 2013)
-
Andrea Rossi Statement About His Silence - The
Journal of Nuclear Physics is Andrea Rossi’s blog. However,
he has not had a lot to say, lately. While there is still
some highly technical – and often heated – discussions
recorded on the JONP, but Mr. Rossi himself seldom comments
these days. (AndreaRossiECat;
July 31, 2013)
-
E-Cat Still Undergoing Changes - While most of the
E-Cat community is close to ready to “hit the road running”
with the technology perfected by Andrea Rossi, according to
Mr. Rossi himself there are still changes being made. (ECatReport;
July 21, 2013)
-
A New Division For Leonardo Corp. - Just recently,
Andrea Rossi commented on an idea presented on the Journal
of Nuclear Physics by Steven Karels. Mr. Karels said: “The
significant characteristic of the eCat technology, in my
humble opinion, is that it is excellent for long term,
constant output applications. An example of this is the
baseload electric power plant, previously discussed. (ECatReport;

-
Inherent Risks In Industrialization of the E-Cat -
One of the greatest worries of the E-Cat community, when
they learned that Andrea Rossi had taken on a major partner
in the U.S., was that somehow his technology would
disappear. (ECatReport; July 26, 2013)

- Potential Industrial Association for LENR
From: David Nagel
To: Sterling Allan
Cc: Steve Katinsky
Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 3:20 PM
Subject: Potential Industrial Association for LENR
Dear Sterling,
Steve Katinsky and I will propose foundation of a
new Industrial Association for LENR at ICCF-18. You
might find that interesting.
Steve has a background doing multiple start up
companies, and is now focused on LENR. He and I
believe that our field may be nearing a tipping
point, at least commercially, if not
scientifically.
For the last year, we have been working toward the
possibility of a new Industrial Association, which
would represent the diverse interests of our field.
We attended a conference at which energy-related
associations in the US presented their viewpoints.
It is clear that none of the existing US
associations in the "energy space" will advance the
needs of our field properly.
We are now ready to go public with our viewpoints
regarding a potential new Industrial Association for
LENR. They are contained in the attached brochure [PDF].
It will be distributed at ICCF-18.
This brochure is embargoed until next Monday, the
start of ICCF-18. But, we wanted to give you a
"heads up" on its coming. This possible Association
could mean a lot to the field.
Hope to see you in Columbia.

As the 'big science' suppresses the findings -
Twenty years have passed since Giuliano Prepared wrote, in
English, Executive Intelligence Review , an article in which
he criticized the powers of the great scientific journals
(from Nature) have set the agenda in international research,
and denounced in particular the treatment reserved for the
inquisitorial cold fusion. An article extraordinarily
timely. (22Passi; July 25, 2013)

Reasonable Doubts? - After two-plus years of

were in detective mode here, looking for every... (E-CatWorld;

- Notice the little dark triangles. They seem to
indicate the transmutation from each element: Hydrogen
(top left) supplying protons (why 6? . hmmm), clockwise
(ascii is the letter of the element) -> Deuterium ->
(+2) Suilur -> (+1) Potassium [K]. Appears to be
indicating Hydrogen supplying protons to enable
transmutations from Deuterium to Sulfur and Sulfur to
Potassium. It does add up correctly. Other geometry no
doubt is significant including the light and dark
shadings of triangles - perhaps a 3D projection?

Hopes Turn To LENR For Cars - In the United States,
the government “bought out” General Motors Corporation in
order to keep it from going bankrupt. The government
promised (which should have been the first premonition of
failure) that this newly acquired yet unofficial government
auto manufacturer would soon produce affordable electric
cars. Move forward 5 years, and let’s see how that worked
out. (ECatReport; July 22, 2013)
