Rossi Cold Fusion Validated by Swedish Skeptic's Society
Yet another test of Andrea Rossi's Energy Catalyzer (E-Cat) has been
performed on a 4.5 kW version near the University of Bologna. This
time a new set of observers were present, one of which is the chairman
of the Swedish Skeptics Society, who confirmed that Copper is being
formed from Hydrogen and Nickel -- cold fusion!

Pure Energy Systems News
The evidence in support of Andrea Rossi's "cold fusion" or "LENR" (low
energy nuclear reaction) based Energy Catalyzer continues to grow. For
those who are not aware, his system combines nickel powder, hydrogen
gas, and an input of pressure and heat to produce a large output of
thermal energy. On March 29th, 2011 yet another test of the technology
was performed at the University of Bologna. Like previous tests, the
outcome was a complete success. However, this time a smaller version
of the E-Cat was tested and two new observers were present.
Some well known players were present during the test. These include
Andrea Rossi (the inventor of the E-Cat), Professor Sergio Focardi,
Dr. David Bianchini, and of course Dr. Giuseppe Levi. Two guest
observers were also present. One of the guest observers was Hanno
Essen, associate professor of theoretical physics at the Swedish Royal
Institute of Technology. He is also the chairman of the Swedish
Skeptics Society. The other guest observer was Professor Sven
Kullander of Uppsala University. He is also chairman of the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences Energy Committee.

Although I strongly lean in favor of this being true, I am still open
to the possibilty that it is a fraud. I am also open to the
possibility that it is true, but that it will be killed off before
humanity can benefit from it. I hope that it is true and will be used
to change the energy game, making the oil rich Muslim nations and the
oil companies less significant while creating green econmic boom.

It feels like I'm reading one of Clogtowner's April fool's jokes. It
was witnessed? yeah, I witnessed Seigfried and Roy produce a tiger on
stage out of nothing once on TV. That was pretty amazing, too. I ask
myself the same question for both... How'd they do that?

Hi y'all - naturally, I'm skeptical and I only read your quote from
the article as my connection is playing up as usual. I see from your
quote that heat and pressure were added to the experiment. I would
like to know if the thermal output energy was higher than the input?

Below are a few sentences from the article that mention input and
output of energy. After that is the entir article.
The result of the experiment was a constant average production of 4.69
kW of power for almost six hours. Additionally, the input was on
average 330 watts (30 of which was used by the electronics controlling
the setup). This is fifteen times less than the energy produced by the
device (15x overunity).
Smaller System with Great Results
The test was performed on a much smaller version of the E-Cat. The
previous version of the E-Cat had a reactor volume of about one liter.
This system has a reactor volume of only one twentieth of a liter.
Four E-Cat systems were present, but only one was tested. The
remaining units had their shielding and insulation removed. This
allowed for their construction to be seen.
This new model of E-Cat consists of a stainless steel reactor vessel
which is placed inside of a copper pipe. Water flows between the
copper pipe and the steel reactor vessel. There are inlets for both
water and hydrogen gas. The reactor is activated by current flowing
through a resistor which is wrapped around the outside of the copper
pipe. When a certain temperature is reached the reaction begins. The
setup is truly simple. It reminds me of old pipework from many years
ago.
Kullander and Essen were given permission to examine the setup, check
for hidden power supplies, fill the reactor with hydrogen, calibrate
the volume of water flow, monitor the temperature of the water flow in
and out of the system, and observe the entire experiment. The reactor
contained 50 grams of nickel powder and .11 grams of hydrogen. In
their report (pdf) they state, "We had free access to the heater
electric supply, to the inlet water hose, to the outlet steam valve
and water hose, and to the hydrogen gas feed pipe. The total weight of
the device was estimated to be around 4 kg."
The result of the experiment was a constant average production of 4.69
kW of power for almost six hours. Additionally, the input was on
average 330 watts (30 of which was used by the electronics controlling
the setup). This is fifteen times less than the energy produced by the
device (15x overunity).
This output was less than the 10 to 15 kW produced by the previous
version of the E-Cat, but this is very impressive for a device 1/20th
the volume!
Kullander and Essen also ruled out that the energy could be coming
from a chemical source. They stated, "Any chemical process for
producing 25 kWh from any fuel in a 50 cm3 container can be ruled out.
The only alternative explanation is that there is some kind of a
nuclear process that gives rise to the measured energy production."
This statement is VERY significant coming from a report written not
only by professional scientists, but also by the chairman of a
skeptical society!
Yet again, it seems the existence of cold fusion or LENR in the form
of Andrea Rossi's Energy Catalyzer has been vindicated. However, there
is more news to report.
Transmutations
It is well known to those who have been following the saga of Andrea
Rossi's technology that one byproduct of the system is copper.
Apparently, it is the result of the fusion reaction between nickel and
hydrogen. Until now, we had to take Andrea Rossi's word for that, but
the results of additional testing has confirmed his claims.
A sample of fresh nickel powder and a sample of nickel powder that had
been in an active E-Cat for two and a half months was given to
Kullander and Essen. Elemental and isotopic analysis was performed on
the samples utilizing both X-ray Fluorescence and Inductively Coupled
Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The result was that the fresh nickel powder
was almost totally pure nickel, but the nickel powder that had been in
an E-Cat contained 10% copper and 11% iron. Two of the copper isotopes
detected were Cu63 and Cu65. Kullander has stated this is proof of
nuclear reactions taking place in the reactor.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Bob Park!
Mr. Park, are you ready to start apologizing for your many years of
claiming cold fusion is simply pseudo-science, voodoo science, and
snake oil? You better crawl back into the hole you came out of,
because a lot of folks are going to be demanding apologies soon!
(Go ahead and continue faking your, "cold fusion amnesia." We realize
you have been avoiding talking about the topic over the past few
months!)
Dumbstream Media Still Not Paying Attention
After multiple successful tests of the E-Cat by third parties, and now
proof of nuclear reactions, it is frustrating (but predictable) that
the mainstream media is not paying hardly any attention to this
technology. The E-Cat represents a way to eliminate our need for
fossil fuels and an alternative to conventional nuclear power.
However, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and many other news networks act as if
nothing is happening.
This is more proof that the mainstream media is dead, totally owned
and controlled by the corrupt powers that be. If you want up to date
news and information the alternative media is now the best source. At
some point, awareness of this technology will reach a critical mass,
and the so called mainstream media will be forced to cover it.
Probably, there will be multi-hour long televised specials about the
technology. The truth, of course, will be that they will not deserve
the ratings they get. They ignored this technology for many months and
it would serve them right if no one tuned in! I hope Andrea Rossi does
not give a single major network in the United States an interview. My
personal hope is that he chooses to give frequent interviews on Coast
to Coast AM, and other media outlets that have frequently favorably
discussed cold fusion over the years.
Energy Revolution Coming Soon
This is further evidence that an energy revolution is coming. As the
year long research program on the E-Cat technology continues at the
University of Bologna, more evidence is bound to be released. Perhaps
soon after the one megawatt power plant and 300,000 unit a year
manufacturing plant in Xanthi, Greece opens, a factory can start up in
Japan. They could sure use a source of jobs and a new source of energy
to replace their destroyed conventional nuclear power industry.
The only real mystery at this point is the catalyst(s) used in the
reaction. This is the key to producing practical levels of output from
nickel-hydrogen fusion systems.

Hi y'all - well those are impressive figures - too impressive?? Why
isn't the US and other Govts. jumping all over this? I'd consider
donating $50 toward the patent.
