Rossi on the Italian TV Show Voyager
Andrea Rossi now claims to have a secret factory where he is building or planning to build his ecat low energy nuclear reaction devices. Presumably the factory would be used to construct the home LENR heating units he has promised.
Rossi does have one installation in Bologna, Italy, where he does researches and builds the 1 megawatt ecat devices he has been selling. He has claimed to have had a factory in Florida presumably in the Miami area where he lived. Unfortunately no evidence of this location has been found. Last month an environmental specialist from the Florida State Health Department tracked Rossi down in an attempt to ascertain if he was manufacturing radioactive devices in the state or not.
In a series of documents that were posted online by the New Energy Times it was revealed that Rossi’s address in Miami Beach is apparently his apartment. Rossi even told the specialist that all ecat research and production is taking place overseas. The state investigation was prompted by questions raised by somebody named Gary Wright. Call me a cynic but it seems to me that the purpose of this investigation was to locate Rossi’s factory and expose it. Why Wright would want to do that is an interesting question. It could be an attempt by a competitor to locate Rossi’s facility and steal industrial secrets.
Now to increase the confusion Rossi has made this statement to a poster at blog called Scott L.
· Andrea Rossi
Dear Scott L.:
We have a factory, but for safety and security reasons it is under another name and we will not disclose it until the situation is like the present. What counts for our Customers is that our products work well.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
So there supposedly is a factory but Rossi will not reveal its location. In the past Rossi has claimed the facility is in the US. Since the US is a pretty big place that’s a lot of ground to cover. That could be an attempt to throw off investigators. So where is the factory and what other name is it operating under? Could it be operated by his partners at AmpEnergo or Hydro Fusion?
Another interesting question that we have to ask here is who owns the factory? Rossi has admitted that he no longer owns the Leonardo Corporation and that it has been sold to a trust of unidentified investors. Do the investors whoever they are own the factory? Is it Siemens the giant German technology company Rossi has been working with on a 45 MW ecat power plant lately?
An interesting possibility is that the plant could be somewhere else in Europe. Perhaps in Italy, Germany or Great Britain or even in Sweden where Hydro Fusion seems to be based? Another probable location is China where much of the world’s industry has been moved to. All we have here are questions and no evidence that there even is a factory.
It will be interesting to see where this will lead. My guess is that our friends at New Energy Times will track this factory down sooner later if it really exists. Or hopefully Rossi will reveal its location.

One interesting point here is that I don’t see what safety concerns there would be from this factory. It sounds like a pretty routine industrial facility so what danger could it pose to anyone? As for security well anybody capable of Rossi’s industrial secrets would be capable of locating his factory. There are industrial spies, private detectives, journalists, moonlighting government agents and others who would have no problem tracking the place down and infiltrating it.
Once again the whole situation around Andrea Rossi just gets weirder and weirder. Something Rossi told James Stokes an environmental specialists with the Florida Health Department that the ecat does not produce nuclear reactions. If that’s the case it would presumably be very safe. What is the danger Rossi is protecting us from?
Rossi is only “weird” because you are viewing him through weird eyes.
I agree.
Designing a factory and having one could be two different things.
We know Andrea Rossi has worked on this for the past 5-6 years without pay. He sold his home and moved to the U.S.
Don’t the skeptics position require that Andrea Rossi is poor for their scam scenario to work.
LENR cannot even be in question anymore. I can understand skepticism about AR’s claims but not if they question LENR in general.
LENR is confirmed in labs worldwide. If you doubt LENR then your education needs updating, as it isn’t in a grade 11 textbook yet.
MIT has cold fusion classes. Brian Ahern has replicted the rossi type of LENR. Many NASA researchers have given positive LENR presentations.
Mitsubishi had its LENR results verified by a competing corporation (TOYOTA), who used their own materials and equipment to verify Mitsubishis findings.
I admit Andrea Rossi is not a place to bet your farm. He has no interest in showing his findings if he even has any. I dislike people discrediting the entire LENR field because of lack of interest to read about it.
Dr George Miley Associate Professor of the University of Illinois is set to present a working LENR cell in Texas tomorrow as a matter of fact. Today a webcast LENR presentation was broadcast from the largest physics facility on the planet (CERN) affirming LENR is real to any who would care to look at it.
I agree Rossi is not very credible to look at, but if you look at LENR instead of Rossi you may find exciting new possibilities
How to you know Rossi sold anything or worked 5-6 years without pay? Are you saying YOU PERSONALLY know this as fact?
How could you possibly know this to be true?
Rossi has to be poor for his scam scenario to work?
Black Light Power does the same thing – make promises – take investor money
(Ross himself says he has investors) – deliver nothing – They have been doing
that for 20 + years!
So how is that similar to Rossi? And Rossi can not be scam?
Unfortunately we don’t know much about Rossi but he apparently is getting money from somewhere. One possibility is that the investors have fired Rossi (or given him a meaningless job) and put Sergio Focardi in charge of the research. Rossi is the public face who runs interference with the media while Focardi and Levi do the work. Unfortunately we don’t know enough to know whether Rossi is for real or not.
“Don’t the skeptics position require that Andrea Rossi is poor for their scam scenario to work.”
Google “Bernie Madoff”
Yes I know who Madoff is or was. You are right. Like most scam artists Madoff was basically broke his expertise was pretending to have money and pretending to make it. Rossi apparently has enough money for fancy apartment in Miami Beach and flights across the Atlantic. So he has money coming in from some where.
I agree. I’ll take a look at the CERN webcast. I wonder what Dick Smith will do when he gets Dr. Miley’s email. Probably start claiming that Miley is a scam too. I also agree with you people are dismissing LENR way too quickly. It looks like the future to me. Note they dismissed the airplane even after the Wright Brothers were flying around in one.
