Cold Fusion News about Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer)
A number of media outlets are reporting an old story about the ecat as news. Extreme Tech, Motherboard and a UK website called The Register are all reporting that Andrea Rossi is selling his ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) devices for $1.5 million apiece.

A physicist with Toronto’s York University has come out of the closet and admitted that “cold fusion energy is real.”

“The tests of E-cat HT reactors of Andrea Rossi provided in Uppsala University, Sweden (2012-2013) and the live test of Defkalion (DGT) Hyperion reactor broadcast on July 22-23, 2013 are reliable demonstrations that cold fusion energy is real,” Dr. Stoyan Sarg wrote in an article for a website called Foreign Policy Journal. Please note that Foreign Policy Journal has nothing to do with the respected journal Foreign Policy.
There seems to be quite a bit going on behind the scenes at Andrea Rossi’s Leonardo Corporation. The most interestingly revelation was made by Rossi himself at his blog on Nov. 7.
“The domestic E-cats did not obtain the safety certification, which is necessary to put them for sale,” Rossi wrote. That indicates two important points about Rossi’s Ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device:
Since there doesn’t seem to be too much happening the world of low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) at the moment. I thought it would be a good time to ask the question: how long will it be before somebody commercializes LENR?
My guess and it’s only an estimate is that commercial LENR is about five years away around year 2018. I have based this on all the reports I’ve seen about Andrea Rossi, Brillouin, Defkalion, Celani, Jet Energy, the Fleischmann Project etc. A lot of people around the world have produced low energy nuclear reactions and they have some control over them.
Andrea Rossi is revealing even more details about the origin of his ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology and the work he did before he developed ecat. In a response to an email from somebody named Brian, Rossi described some of his previous work. Rossi also stated that he had tried to use a thermoelectric technology to make power with the heat from the exhaust of Diesel generators but it apparently didn’t work.
Here’s an intriguing development the Swiss company Stmmicrolectronics S.R.L. has applied for a United States Patent on a low energy nuclear reaction process. On Feb. 25, 2013, the company filed U.S. patent application US20130243143 A1.

The device is described as a: “Reactor for energy generation through low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) between hydrogen and transition metals and related method of energy generation.” The patent application clearly indicates that the purpose of the reactor is the generation of energy.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that utilities are worried because an increasing number of large corporations are unplugging their operations from the electric grid. Instead in a development that’s good news for alternate energy sources like low energy nuclear reaction (LENR), large companies are beginning to generate their own electricity.

More and more large companies are generating their own power because of costs and the perceived unreliability of the grid. Even some electric company executives are worried about the trend. Nick Akins the CEO at American Electric Power Company in Ohio told the Journal he’s scared that he’ll become the “caretaker of a museum.”
Berkley, Calif., based Brillouin Energy Corporation hopes to start licensing its low energy nuclear reaction technology to manufacturers and power companies next year. Brillouin’s CEO Bob George and President and Chief Technology Officer Robert E. Godes made that announcement in an interview on Gary Hendershot’s Smart Scarecrow webcast on September 12.
The interview was apparently the launch of an effort to raise venture capital to finance the next round of Brillouin’s efforts to develop a working LENR boiler technology. The technology is currently being tested at the SRI International laboratory in California by Dr. Michael McKubre. Brillouin has also been able to raise $20 million in venture capital.
New details about two major low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research efforts are available. The Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project is reporting significant progress in its open sourced effort to commercialize Francesco Celani’s LENR technology.
The idea behind the Project is to create a LINUX of LENR, LINUX is an open sourced operating system available for anybody to use. Anybody can put it on her computer and any designer can create Apps and software for it. Even though LINUX itself is given away free it has led to some to great fortunes, there’s a little thing called Google (you know the company with the $846-$850 a share stock). Google uses Linux as does the software company Red Hat.
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.

Extensive changes and improvements to the e-cat technology will be undertaken during this testing. That means whoever has purchased the e-cat the mysterious partner Rossi has discussed in the past might have taken the technology away from Rossi and turned it over to somebody else to experiment with.
