  • LENR Companies
    • Rossi, Leonardo Corp - E-Cat
      • Rossi e-cat undergoing tests in the United States - Andrea Rossi’s e-cat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device is undergoing extended testing in the United States, the inventor revealed. Rossi didn’t say where in the USA the testing was being done or who was conducting the tests. He did state that no information about the tests will be released until they are completed. Three e-cat units were shipped to the U.S. in April. (EnergyCatalyzer3; August 11, 2013)
      • Rossi on Domestic Units (and Defkalion) - Here’s a comment by Andrea Rossi in response to a question about when the domestic E-Cat units might be available. If you read carefully, though he doesn’t mention them by name, there’s an obvious reference to Defkalion in parts 2 and 3. Rossi reveals again here that he really doesn’t believe that Defkalion has... (E-CatWorld; August 18, 2013)
      • Nickel
        • Not Much Nickel Needed - Andrea Rossi once again today reiterated his claim that the amount of nickel used in the E-Cat reaction is miniscule — that: “The amount of Ni used by the E-Cat, even in a widespread situation, would not affect the world production of Ni. 1 g of mass yields 23 000 kWh and the used... (E-CatWorld; August 11, 2013)
        • The Use of Nickel In The E-Cat - The fuel canister for the E-Cat has to be changed every 6 months. However, Andrea Rossi has said that this is not due to depletion of the fuel, but simply as a safety measure. (ECatReport; August 14, 2013)
        • Nickel Stores Available For the E-Cat - Steven Karels, a frequent commenter on the Journal of Nuclear Physics, has been asking Andrea Rossi about the use of Nickel in the E-Cat. He has attempted to get exact figures on the amount of Nickel actually consumed by these units. (ECatReport; August 18, 2013)
        • Rotating Fuel Canisters - Although the E-Cat and Hot Cat only require a change of fuel canisters once every 6 months, many members of the E-Cat community are trying to figure out a more time-efficient method of performing the task. This is probably due to the fact that in a large power plant, there would be hundreds of individual E-Cats, requiring a constant process of changing out fuel canisters. (ECatReport; August 20, 2013)
      • Theoretical
        • Frank Znidarsic and A Paradigm for Classical Physics (Guest Post) - The following is a guest post written by E-Cat World reader Gordon Docherty Frank Znidarsic is a physicist and electrical engineer who has been investigating new sources of energy for twenty years, examining research done in cold fusion and antigravity, looking for common themes and elements in that research. The eventual product of his... (E-CatWorld; August 20, 2013)
        • Rossi: Nothing Wrong With Current Physics [Updated] - Here’s a comment by Andrea Rossi today which reiterates his stance regarding his discovery (again he refers to the “Rossi Effect” — maybe now an official marketing term) in terms of current physics: Andrea Rossi August 20th, 2013 at 11:38 PM Eric Ashworth: There are no conspiracies: all we have to do is make... (E-CatWorld; August 21, 2013)
        • Rossi Effect ‘Too Slow’ to be Weaponized - On the Journal of Nuclear Physics, Steven Karels voiced a concern to Andrea Rossi about the possible use of the E-Cat reaction in weapons: My greatest fear for eCat technology is that a way will be found to weaponize it. Not just put it in a pressure cooker and generate heat until the container... (E-CatWorld; August 18, 2013)
      • Electricity Connect
        • On Stirling Engines and E-Cat - A couple of months ago, Andrea Rossi asked the readers of the Journal of Nuclear Physics to refer manufacturers of Stirling engines to him. The Hot Cat has reached the point where he and his U.S. partner are ready to combine those two technologies to manufacture electricity. (ECatReport; August 2, 2013)
      • Commentary
        • From ancient ruins to new energy - Here is a concrete (as of June 2013) example. World shows "energizer" Italian Andrea Rossi. E-Cat. In fact - an environmentally friendly nuclear reactor the size of a bottle of whiskey. But it has no uranium or plutonium. No radioactivity. (socdeistvie.info; August 11, 2013)
        • Who's afraid of the E-Cat and cold fusion? - Long Wang expressed on "everyday-feng shui.de" the suspicion that lobbyists could possibly CERN deliberately spread disinformation about the E-Cat and cold fusion. He writes: "You mean you are using pseudonyms." Meson "," Lorenzy "," Celladoor "or" Rüdiger "and are on the Internet go to Rossi, the E-Cat and the 'threatening' cold fusion targeted IT. Everyday Feng Shui specialists have managed to trace the trail of informers." (ExtremeNews; August 3, 2013)
        • Andrea Rossi on the 3rd World War - Andrea Rossi had an interesting exchange on the Journal of Nuclear Physics with the commenter Giovanni Guerrini. Guerrini asked: “If the 3rd world war could be fought for the control of oil, water and food, the E-Cat should avoid it.  (ECatReport; August 12, 2013)
