Nobel Prize winning physicist and retired Cambridge professorBrian Josephson has apparently met with Andrea Rossi the inventor of the ecat low energy nuclear reaction device. The E-cat World blog has posted what is apparently a letter from Josephson.
Josephson who has been an outspoken supporter of Rossi and cold fusion was apparently in Miami recently. So he looked up Rossi who lives in Miami Beach and sat down with him. Josephson’s observations about Rossi and his work are rather interesting.
Andrea Rossi said he will reveal the companies and individuals he has licensed his ecat low nickel hydrogen energy nuclear reaction technology to in October. He also said he is working a new reactor and planning a possible ecat convention in October. What the convention is or where it will be held has not been revealed yet. Last year Rossi unveiled a prototype ecat in October.
A US company called NanoSpire Inc. claims to be able to achieve fusion through a process that involves boiling water. The company is using a process called cavitation which involves heating water to high temperatures so it sounds like a hot fusion process. Yet this seems to involve some of the same phenomena involved in low energy nuclear reaction so it could be LENR.

Two very interesting interviews reveal a lot more about Andrea Rossi the man, his philosophy, his business and his ecat low energy nuclear reaction technology. Rossi has also taken some time out to address his controversial past and the criminal charges that arose from his attempt to commercialize his process for making oil from waste at an Italian company called Petroldragon.
Greek low energy nuclear reaction pioneer Defkalion Green Technologies is advertising for twenty new positions. The job openings have been posted on the company’s website and were sent to some LENR media outlets.
This seems to indicate that Defkalion feels competent enough to go ahead with development and manufacture of its Hyperion LENR heating device. Defkalion is developing Hyperion as a home heating and water heating system. They also have plans to license their technology to other companies. Uses would include industrial applications and at some point in the future generation of electricity.
The Cold Fusion Times reported that Tarr visited MIT to discuss low energy nuclear reaction technology with Hagelstein who is a member of Cold Fusion Energy Inc. During the meeting the NANOR table top cold fusion unit was apparently present and running.
Andrea Rossi is now claiming that he has set up or will set up two factories to manufacture his ecat low energy nuclear reaction devices for home heating use. Rossi has stated there would be two factories one in the USA and one in Europe.
Some of the biggest names in the world of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction are scheduled to be giving presentations at a conference in Siena, Italy. Francesco Celani, Peter Hagelstein and Francessco Piantelli are listed as presenters at the Tenth Annual International Workshop on Anomalies in Hydrogen-Loaded Metals scheduled to be held in Siena, Italy from April 10-14.
This could be an important development because Piantelli did much of the work on which Andrea Rossi’s ecat LENRprocess is supposedly based. Piantelli developed that nickel hydrogen process with help from Sergio Focardi who is now working with Rossi. Piantelli has founded his own company called Nichenergy to commercialize his process but not much is known about that effort.
Defkalion has posted a little more news about its plans to commercialize a cold fusion device similar to Andrea Rossi’s ecat at its website. The company stated that it is developing a commercial prototype that will form the basis of a broad range of industrialized low energy nuclear reaction devices to be marketed under the Hyperion brand name.
Licensing of all the products is supposedly in progress. Product testing to comply with European Union safety certifications is apparently underway. The products will product between six to 30 times the power put into them. The company has previously announced that independent testing of its technology is underway.
Coal fired power plants could be as obsolete as horse drawn buggies in a decade
A low energy nuclear reaction technology developed by an American company could replace coal as the fuel for electric power plants within a few years, its inventor says. Robert Godes of Brillouin Energy Corporation believes that a cold fusion device he is developing could actually be used to heat boilers in power plants in a few years.
