Once again, we bring you a compilation of various news items about the various LENR companies since our August 22 compilation.

LENR Companies

Rossi, Leonardo Corp - E-Cat
- E-cat South Asia Technology Update - Press Release from Ecat Australia and Ecat South Asia – August 2013 TOMORROWS ENERGY, TODAY Since we last wrote, there continues to be important developments. The rest of the world is waking up […] (ColdFusionNow; August 24, 2013)
- Rossi on Validation of his Theory - After some more questions and comments from Andrea Rossi on the Journal of Nuclear Physics, it appears that there is a long-term test underway of the E-Cat which seems to have the purpose of validating Rossi’s theory behind the ‘Rossi Effect’. Rossi has said earlier this week that there are no violations of currently... (E-CatWorld; August 23, 2013)
- “No New Physics”, Says Rossi - There have been many conversations on the Journal of Nuclear Physics, lately, concerning the “Rossi Effect”, physics, and conspiracy theories. Here, we take a look as some of the exchanges concerning the first two matters. (ECatReport; August 26, 2013)
- Overcoming the E-Cat Stall — A Proposal (Guest Post) - The following post was submitted by E-Cat World reader Rick Allen. For two decades, cold fusion (LENR) researchers have worked to make their anomalous heat effects powerful, repeatable, and robust. With Rossi and Focardi’s announcement of the E-Cat in January 2011, many cold fusion enthusiasts felt that their dream had come true. Andrea Rossi’s... (E-CatWorld; August 25, 2013)
- Rossi as Teacher - We all realize how closed-lipped Rossi can be when it comes to sensitive information about the E-Cat and his business endeavors, but when you get him on a non-sensitive topic he can become very communicative — as demonstrated in this exchange with a reader about the Higgs Boson particle. Jan.Gustavsson August 25th, 2013 at... (E-CatWorld; August 26, 2013)
- US Partner Determines The Release Of Information On The E-Cat - The E-Cat and Hot Cat both have passed their certification tests, and have been validated by independent third party tests. However, research and development continue. Even as the talk of robotized assembly lines are being discussed for the manufacturing facility, Andrea Rossi and his team continue to collect data for analysis. (ECatReport; August 28, 2013)
- E-Cat hatching there - The ' E-Cat of Andrea Rossi would have been subjected to "independent tests" that provide "evidence ... signed by scientists so that risk reputation and career." Even the apparatus would be "self-sustaining". The title so sure, however, clashes with another sentence: "you can not say for sure that it's all true." The new tests'' independent'' are neither test nor independent. (Izeusnews.it; August 28, 2013)
Fleischmann Memorial Project, QuantumHeat.org
- MFMP Presentation from ICCF-18 - As we have been talking about open source LENR development I thought it might be a good idea to post the slideshow that the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project team presented at the ICCF-18 conference in Columbia, Missouri. I found this presentation to be very informative — a nice concise summary of what their mission... (E-CatWorld; August 27, 2013)

General Cold Fusion

O's Digest - Replication of the experiment with cell Celani Arata, Mario Massa ( a real gentleman ) and Gabrichan are working with the advice of many others, but by 22 steps is fought and ridiculed, although the experiment is presented as "fundamental". And despite the enthusiastic support of the previous tests carried out by Mario Massa on the boiler Russian alleged over-unity of Rampado, and those offered for the e-cat eng. Rossi and the Athanor Eng. Abundo. If the 49 bar Celani are confirmed, and better yet the 1000 and 2000 McKubre Arata, for Camillo "would be a nice hit professional" and 22 steps that defames a great victory for years.

Commentary
- Edmund Storms: At peak efficiency “no other source of power will be necessary” - John Maguire, a writer for J.C.M., interviews Dr. Edmund Storms, author of The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction: A Comprehensive Compilation of Evidence and Explanations about Cold Fusion. (ColdFusionNow; August 22, 2013)
  - Interview with Ed Storms on the Importance of Cold Fusion - I’m grateful to Ruby Carat of Cold Fusion Now for bringing my attention to this very interesting interview by John Maguire of the J.C.M. Blog with nuclear scientist Dr. Edmund Storms, formerly of the Los Alamos National Lab. It’s quite a long interview (50 minutes in total), but if you have the time, it’s...

  - Good Evening Sterling,
    
    Been an admirer of your work for awhile. Thank you for your tireless efforts and perpetual enthusiasm. Just wanted to share a recent interview I did w/ Ed Storms. Its a little long at 50 minutes so if you don't have time to listen to it no worries. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything, but I think Ed is a great presenter and makes the presentation of even basic material very interesting. Take care, all the best to you and yours.
    
    Regards,

- RealClearScience: Cold Fusion Not Real - RealClearScience has a column on their web site that deals with controversial scientific topics which it believes should not be considered controversial, stating that: Many Americans are being misled on serious scientific issues, and science journalists have to spend an inordinate amount of time debunking myths which seemingly never die. The article goes on... (E-CatWorld; August 28, 2013)
- NYT Column: Nuclear Power Best Fit to Combat Climate Change - An article in the New York Times today (August 20) by Eduardo Porter titled “Coming Full Circle in Energy, to Nuclear” looks at the critical need to finding a viable energy source which will be able to replace the enormous amount of energy that is currently being produced primarily by natural gas and coal.... (E-CatWorld; August 22, 2013)
- How To Make Cold Fusion - So you want to know the holy grail of science? Alchemy, Cold Fusion, Transmutations. Lets break all the laws of science!!! VOFF VOFF. One of the most common comments I get is: “you are aware that Cold Fusion is impossible, right?“. (DrBoblog; August 22, 2013)
- How much energy we be talkin’ about? - I found a great graph from Lawrence Livermore National Labs, that illustrates the size of the energy world — the world that will soon be swallowed up by LENR technology: (NickelPower; August 27)
