Rossi Vindicated? E-Cat Tested by Third Party Investigation
A report has been released detailing a third party investigation into the anomalous heat produced from reactions inside the E-Cat HT (High Temperature) machine.
High resolution thermal imaging cameras were used to record the heat of the reaction tube of the E-Cat, with the data recorded on a second by second basis; and the electrical power input was measured using a large bandwidth three-phase power analyzer.
Data was collected from two separate experiments, one using the E-Cat HT, and the other using the E-Cat HT2, a technologically improved version of the E-Cat HT.
Both tests used the exact same methodology, and both produced excess heat from an unknown reaction within the tube, and in quantities above anything produced by conventional sources.

The website ECAT stated that, the first test, in December, lasted for 116 hours before being shut down , producing 160 kWh of energy and consuming just 35 kWh; producing an energy density of 7 • 103 W/kg and a thermal energy density of about 6.8 • 105 Wh/kg.
The second test, in March, lasted 96 hours and produced around 62kWh of energy, whilst consuming 33kWh. This gave the machine a power density of roughly 5.3 • 105W/kg, and a thermal energy density of 6.1 • 107Wh/kg.
Even taking the most conservative energy production figures recorded, the reaction still functioned at a higher magnitude than any other conventional sources.

The next experiment will begin this summer and will last for around six months as a long term test for the E-Cat HT2.

Supposedly there is a cold fusion technology being developed in Australia for the past 40 years - hmmmmm 40 years to string investors along - and the Australian government is not ready to let the technology be implemented in their own country. 1. It isn't real and this is an excuse 2. The political walls that need to be scaled may never happen, even if the technology is real.

This phenomenon (LENR) has been confirmed in hundreds of published scientific papers: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJtallyofcol.pdf
"Over 2 decades with over 100 experiments worldwide indicate LENR is real, much greater than chemical..." --Dennis M. Bushnell, Chief Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center
"Total replacement of fossil fuels for everything but synthetic organic chemistry." --Dr. Joseph M. Zawodny, NASA
I mean, how many experts need to say it before the "skeptics" are silenced? The level of denial exhibited by the nay-sayers is incredible. A reasonable person needs to ask: why are they being so obtuse.
Anything can be refuted with ifs and maybes, you should try to show some evidence sometime. The independent testing has shown evidence, the only evidence you have shown is a belief that Rossi is a fraud. If its a scam how much money is anyone involved going to pocket before throwen in jail? They all have doctorate degrees and can command a 6 figure salary..... They are going to throw that away for the profits of selling a few bogus machines? Then jail time? Lol. I have to ask who pays your bills? Whats your modavation for spreading seeds of deceit and half truths?
Rossi and his very close long time associate, Levi, ran the entire show. Hoho's link (above) explains it all. Essen admitted that he could not even rerun the experiment without help or much more study. All the equipment except for a few meters was supplied by Rossi, it was done in Rossi's lab and with his supply of mains power which he control entirely. Levi is not a third party. He is part of Rossi's team most of the time. The test was absolutely NOT independent of Rossi in any way.
The power meter which was used relied on clamp on ammeters which would have missed both extra DC power and extra RF power, either of which Rossi could easily have added to the mains.
The infrared images of the running reactor do not look like one would expect if there was, as Rossi says, a nuclear reaction making heat in a small cartridge of secret sauce. Such a scenario would certainly create a hot spot where the reaction was going on. No such a spot is seen in the images. What the images look like is a simple electrical heater and that is, without a doubt, what Rossi had the scientists test.
It is a reasonable assumption that Rossi cheated by turning extra power from the mains on or off as needed to simulate an excess heat power source within the reactor.
The way the experiment was performed, such sleight of hand could not be ruled out. This is what happens when you let scientists, who are not trained to detect deception and misdirection, conduct an experiment in which cheating and lying are highly probable. They get bamboozled and these guys did.
Don't sell off your oil stocks yet. Or better yet do. I'll be happy to buy the lower priced shares.

Just some light reading on it:

The interior of the E-Cat is filled with pressurized hydrogen gas, which would be an ideal burning environment for Magnesium. Even without Hydrogen, Magnesium will reach ~3,100C, which will handily burn through ceramics. Some Thermite mixtures can get even hotter.
If an Aluminum based Thermite mixture was used (alone or in a hybrid with a magnesium ignition source in the case of the November test), it might be even easier to replicate the result. It would have a melting point of ~660C, and once melted it would convect inside of the core and provide for a uniform heat source for the E-Cat. In both cases the power would be supplied by RF sources at either end of the cylinder. Different mixtures of Thermite have different melting and ignition points, and all can be induced to "meltdown" on command.
This might actually be triggered by the electrical "control module" that is connected to the device. Alternatively, in the November test, they could have just punched enough RF power through to ignite the Magnesium/Thermite. In the photos the heat sources are clearly at either end of the cylinder, either because the charge was only located there, or because the Thermite had not had time to fully melt and convect before igniting. Once it ignites (by whatever method) you get a "meltdown".
In the December test, its the same setup with RF sources at either end. The IR camera is underneath the device and cant see the caps, which would be hotter than the rest of the cylinder as the RF signal passed through. Power would be reduced and modulated to only melt the Thermite and allow it to convect within the inner core. (If it is not intended to "melt-down" some other similar, non reactive material could have been used)
In the March test, the setup was changed, with an additional IR camera focused on one of the ends of the cylinder. This would have blocked Rossi from being able to have an RF source at both ends.
However, there is a flange on the other end of the cylinder which might have served as a shield so that the camera was not picking up anomalous readings from the RF source being beamed through the cylinder towards the camera. Rossi says its meant to be connected to a heat exchanger, but the fact is that the flange wasn't in the previous tests that used just a single IR camera.
In the December test, the device was already started when the researchers arrived (for that matter, it was just two researchers closely aligned with Rossi for those first tests. The "independent" researchers were only there for the March test).
In the March test the device took 2 hours to heat up enough before the ON/OFF modulation of the "reaction" was started.
This new source of emission free energy can prevent more CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere. But we still have the crisis of the nearly trillion tonnes of fossil CO2 already emitted that is changing climate and destroying ecosystems, especially the ocean plankton pastures.
But there is a solution that can replenish and restore the ocean pastures and in doing so convert billions of tonnes of CO2 into ocean life itself at the cost of mere millions. Like cold fusion the proof has been demonstrated and is ready for large scale deployment.
Perhaps just in time these twin scientific discoveries have been transformed into technologies that will reverse the harm we have done in our pell mell burning of fossil fuels.
It’s time for people to call on government and industry to save the world, and make a little money on the side…. Not the other way around! http://russgeorge.net
