One-year 1 megawatt E-Cat trial completed

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

One-year 1 megawatt E-Cat trial completed

Unread post by Chai Wallah » Mon Feb 22, 2016 5:05 am

good news about the new energy source - the E-Cat:


from https://animpossibleinvention.com/blog/

Historic event: One-year 1 megawatt E-Cat trial completed

On February 17, 2016, a 350-day commercial test of a One Megawatt heat plant based on Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat was completed. The event must be considered historic since it’s the first time an industrially useful amount of energy is produced over such a long time from this kind of yet unexplained radiation-free nuclear reaction—LENR or Low Energy Nuclear Reactions.

To be clear, the report from the one-year trial, which has been controlled by a major independent third party certification institute, will be released only in about a month, and until then no official information is provided on the test result. However, multiple sources have told me that the test has been successful.

Earlier, some sources having visited the test plant told me that the COP, Coefficient of Performance, i.e. the ratio between output power and input power for control, was in the range 20—80, meaning that the heat plant was consuming 12—50 kW while producing 1 MW—the average consumption of about 300 Western households, including electricity, space heating, water heating and air conditioning.

I have also been told that the total amount of fuel—mostly harmless elements such as lithium, hydrogen and nickel, according to Andrea Rossi’s granted patent on the technology—was in the range of tenths of grams. And supposedly the charge has never been changed during the year. On the other hand, after one year’s run, the reactors are now being recharged for further operation.

All this might be confirmed by the third party institute, that has been controlling the heat plant 24/7 with video cameras.

The test has been undertaken by Andrea Rossi and his US industrial partner Industrial Heat, and according to Rossi, commercialisation of similar industrial heat plants will be initiated as soon as possible, provided that the result is positive. Industrial Heat has acquired the right to produce and sell E-Cat based technology in, as far as I have been told, North, Central and South America, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Needless to say, the consequences of such an energy source for the world will be huge. And the consequences for industry, finance and society is also the focus of the New Energy World Symposium or NewS, which will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 21, 2016, provided that the report from the test is clearly positive.

So, now we all wait for the report. Personally, however, I will put the champagne on ice. Now.

...the heat plant was consuming 12—50 kW while producing 1 MW...
E-Cat has been in the news for a number of years and nothing real has come out of it - it has been only news and further news. My gut feeling is that Andrea Rossi is just a cons man. Where Miles Mathis succeeds theoretically, Andrea Rossi succeeds technically. If the wiki article is accurate, he has a history of cheating.

I know about the argument that if we "really", "really" have found an infinite source of energy, then the CIA, FBI, James Bond... King Abdullah ...would send their henchmen to kidnap us,etc. They just cannot afford to allow such a geopolitically disruptive technology to come into human civilization without going through a due process of big power control and ratification. So Andrea Rossi, being in possession of this "E_Cat" thingy that could change the very course of human history has to keep his invention top secret. I'll rather conjecture that if his machine ever work, it would not be in the news anymore.

It is good trying to fantasize about "what if I really discovered a source of infinite energy". Say, translating it into a gadget is just a breeze, nothing like getting another schwarzschild solution to Einstein's GR or detecting gravity waves. How am I to convince the world? Or would the FBI, CIA really come after me when they found strange articles appearing in the prestigious viXra.org archives of physics breakthrough articles.

The most urgent need of the world now is not about the Higg's boson, gravity waves or black holes, but an infinite source of energy. It is disappointing that whenever news of infinite energy comes in, invariably they are only from charlatans and cons men. Just as it is inconceivable that the world in the near future could do away with Einstein's relativity theories, the Standard Model and the Big Bang Cosmology, it is also inconceivable that the world anytime soon could come out with a real infinite energy source.

Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project have made a breakthrough in their replication:

Published their LENR Recipe for All to use and experiment:


The Cookbook is in the signal…
Prepare thoroughly (Ni + LiAlH4 + Li)

1. Bake Ni
2. Reduce Ni
3. Hydrogenate Ni
4. Mix: Ni + LiAlH4 + Li
5. Bake and vac reactor, add Nickel, vac warm, add H2, Vac
6. Heat to above Mossbauer determined Ni Debye (say 135C), pressure regulated to approx 1bar abs.
7. Hold, pressure regulated to approx 1bar abs.
8. Heat slowly to as close to Ni Curie as comfortable (Say 340C), pressure regulated to approx 1bar abs.
9. Hold, pressure regulated to approx 1bar abs.
10. Slowly lower temp to above highest known Ni Debye (Say 220C), pressure regulated to approx 1bar abs.
11. Hold, pressure regulated to approx 1bar abs.
12. Go as fast as possible through Ni Curie
13. Hold, pressure regulated to approx 0.5bar abs.
14. Cycle through 500C internal, pressure regulated to approx 0.5bar abs.
15. Hold, pressure regulated to approx 0.5bar abs.
16. Raise internal temperature to over 1200, pressure regulated to approx 0.5bar abs.
17. Drop to around 1000 and hold, pressure regulated to approx 0.5bar abs.
18. Raise internal temperature to near boiling point of Lithium
1h Thermal > x/β- emissions > Pb > IR/THz > 5h (SSM)
where ‘>’ means ‘leads to’

The End of the Carbon Age is Nigh

Thankyou to all those that helped us

In the first place, there should never be a need for a 1 year E-Cat trial - a 24 hrs trial should be enough for a process that works.

From the recipe, it is no wonder our diesel generators have yet to be replaced by E-Cat type. To solve the reaction stability problem after the fusion starts is 10 times more difficult than solving Einstein's eight field equations.

A very, very wild prediction of mine - the efforts in LENR cold fusion of the Pons & Fleischmann type would end in total failure.

If we look at past history of real scientific inventions and discovery, things develop very fast after some initial developments. Soon after the work of Maxwell's predicting light as an EM waves, Hendriech Hertz rather quickly succeeded in transmitting wireless EM signals. From the Wright's brothers to the Moon was about 70 years. From Marie Curies work with Radium to Hiroshima was about 50 years. Source of drinking water has become a serious world problem but we now have commercial desalination plants running. But cold fusion was first announced in 1989 and it has been 27 years now - nothing definite and certain has come out of it. It was always news, news and further news. After some time, we who hope to see real progress start to lose faith. If cold fusion is meant to work, I think there should by now be something clear and definite that we are working with.

There is also a reason why I think cold fusion cannot work - the type as originally announced using simple electrodes at room temperature. If such type of simple reaction could produce energy, then nature would surely have adapted it to living things; there would be a natural alternative source of energy just in case some plant species cannot get enough sunlight - they would turn on nuclear power to tide over difficult times. The fact that cold fusion has not been found in nature suggests that there cannot be such a source of energy.

Another wild, wild prediction - the current work in hot fusion too will end in total failure - just like trying to detect gravitational waves. Hot or cold fusion, it will work only if the physics community is willing to give up on physics that do not produce tangible result. Einstein's relativity theories is like Chinese Geomancy- you'll have to wait a long time to know if it works. The Standard Model with their strong and weak forces, quarks, color charges - they are only good for background materials for J.K.Rowling's next series of novels - words, words and a lot of imaginations weaved in.

Well, you are coming from a standpoint of hot core stars. Maybe stars and planets are ultra cold inside? :)

I have an old thread:
Electron Confinement Fusion of Deuterium Near 0 K.
http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/forum/phpB ... 10&t=15824

After starting the thread, I was surprised to read an article that suggest the core of our Sun (and stars) is actually cold (near 0⁰ K ?) at the core - not hot just because sunlight is "hot". I cannot now trace the article - it was about the work of a past physicist and rely only on a certain well known classical physical phenomenon.

The current paradigm in hot fusion is that extreme high temperature is needed for fusion to work. But my speculation is the other way round, that hot fusion cannot work because of the enormous kinetic energy at extreme high temperatures - you don't give the nuclei any chance to stop themselves to fuse!
The Mother of science is commonsense.

I think all these insistence on extreme hot fusion is because they believe in their Standard Model of forces and their nuclear models.

If we go by the principles of the Tao Te Ching, we should try not to disturb things too much to achieve a desired result. Water seeks its optimum level if left to itself. If we want to achieve fusion of Deuterium, we have to give them the proper environment for "deep meditation" - not heat them to millions of degrees! When the Deuterium nuclei are brought to near 0⁰ K, they have to "meditate" and recite "Om Mali Padmi Om" - whether they like it or not. And then the path of least resistance will appear - towards minimum binding energy - by fusing into nuclei of Helium releasing the "surplus" energy.

It is silly for the world to start the ITER project for hot fusion. If you buy into a shares that only drop and drop after decades, you do not put in good money after bad money - you cut loss and reverse direction.
