      • Sergio Focardi Dies
        • Sergio Focardi — Top Witness of the E-Cat [Updated: Video of Rossi on Focardi] - I believe that one of the most compelling reasons for taking Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat seriously is the involvement of Sergio Focardi in its development. Focardi was one of the preeminent physicists in Italy, being a researcher, teacher and administrator at the University of Bologna. I have never heard anyone, even the most fervent critics...

        • Remembering Sergio Focardi ... "There is a Cold Fusion"? - "Well, let's start with Piantelli this: load the deuterium in nickel.'s Build a little box, we put the nickel begin to make evidence - much empirical evidence - and find that when nickel is at 300-400 degrees absorbs significantly hydrogen ... much hydrogen. This is something not known in the scientific literature, as we discovered later. But we started by empiricists in this work, we later found out, talking with experts of cold fusion have said that national "but this is not what happens to anyone," but it happens. "But the books do not tell" and Roberto Habel rightly said, "but we do not we read." Luckily for us, the nickel had not even read the books and things have worked!

      • Technology
        • Rossi on E-Cat Electricity Generation - Yesterday I put a question on the Journal of Nuclear Physics to Andrea Rossi regarding the production of electricity from the E-Cat.

      • Politics
        • “Dirt Plays” Reach Fever Pitch - Once the third party report on Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat was released, most people following the story speculated that opposition would increase. Apparently, this has been the case. Rossi is careful to avoid identifying anyone involved with his story, including entities from is still anonymous U.S. partner to the identities of those opposing him. But, in a recent post on the Journal of Nuclear Physics, he referred to threats to his own safety. (ECatReport; June 20, 2013)

Asked to explain what you view as the most promising energy source for America’s economic and environmental future, you favored one answer, heavily, above the others: Low energy nuclear reactions, or cold fusion. Nine of the top ten vote-getters favored this answer. (Washington Post; June 27, 2013)
        • Sterling's Comment: They obviously didn't even read the info they posted in the story very well because the reporter errantly said: "It’s also the case that there is no such technology on the immediate horizon; researchers are far from turning cold fusion from a conceptual idea into a workable energy source."
