Re: [Vo]:Unobtainium and Beryllium (Belynium?)
Actually I heard that in Savona (Italy) University they found a rare isotope of Beryllium. They named it Belynium an there are strong suspects that (along Unobtainium) is part of Rossi's and Defkalion catalyzer secret mixture. As soon I found it I'll post the related paper. 2012/12/7 Abd ul-Rahman Lomax a...@lomaxdesign.com At 05:02 PM 12/6/2012, Jed Rothwell wrote: Yes, a more powerful reaction would be nice, but we must work with what we have, as Abd stresses. We will die of old age if we sit around waiting UPS to deliver a $1.5 million package of unobtainium. It's coming? And the reward of patience is ... patience. Actually, I asked for $1.5 million so I could *attempt to obtain* this crucial material. That would include my overhead, travel expenses, etc. You don't think it's easy to buy unobtainium, do you? If we actually find some, we might need to go back for more funding to actually purchase it. However, the bright side: unobtainium is expected to be simply a catalyst. So it will not be destroyed in the experiments, and we could resell it. Given how much work it will have taken to find the material, we could probably break it down into smaller pieces and resell them to recover the funding, with the profit from resale covering the initial outlay. Actually, seriously, I just bought a bit over 5 grams of beryllium metal, 99.9% pure,on eBay for $37. What I really wanted was a very small piece of beryllium foil, but was I patient? No Did I ask if someone had a small piece they could spare? No I found how insanely expensive beryllium foil was and assumed that beryllium itself must be so as well. No, I paid a reasonable price, it turns out, for 5 grams. However, what I really want is a tiny piece that I can fit in the well of an Am-241 ionization source from a smoke detector, because the conversion rate for alphas to neutrons by Be-9 is very low, and so getting the beryllium as close as possible to the alpha source is desirable. In commercial Am-Be neutron sources, they actually blend the Be and Am oxide. And they use a thousand times as much Am-241, i.e., one mCurie, instead of the 0.9 uCurie in a smoke detector source. (My goal is to test LR-115 SSNTD material for neutron detection. I had the naive idea that I might be able to bash the Beryllium metal with a hammer to make a thin foil, then cut a piece. Maybe. Probably not a great idea. Beryllium is very hard, it might shatter. I don't want to use machining or cutting techniques that would create small fragments, turning my apartment or basement into a hazardous waste area. I may try using this little ingot directly, and maybe the Be itself will multiply the neutrons a bit. But any ideas?)

H'is really a luky man having his personal Blue Fairy ever-ready to send a flock of nose resizing birds. Cheers Suz 2012/7/10 Axil Axil janap...@gmail.com Conspiracy theory We have all been studying Rossi like a bug under a microscope since that cold dark mid-January winter’s day when he first announced his first public demo in 2011. We came to recognize his genius, but he had his limits, he had limitations on coming up with the physical theory that underlies his reactor. He was very smart but his reactor had flaws that he just could not find a way to fix. To refresh recent history, then came the big test under the knowing eye of Fioravanti “the colonel”, a mystery man. It appears that no one has found any signs of Domenico Fioravanti existing prior to his appearance at Rossi's October 28th show. Usually a distinguished engineer and military man would leave some trace of his existence behind: professional organizations, newspaper clippings of promotions, something. Out of the legions that looked, no one has found one shred of evidence that this man exists. WHO IS THE CUSTOMER? Customer's spokesman, Domenico Fioravanti, retired colonel of the Genio*, doesn't tell anything that would be revealing of its identity, but it is Rossi himself who gives Focus to something more: «We are building a 130 MW thermal plant, made of 13 plants such as the one you saw on October 28th: but it's a military research and I can't reveal any further detail, not the name, nor the place, nor the nationality of the customer». Then all when dark in Rossi world for a long while as the military research when on. But this slipped out…Rossi can’t keep his moth shut. Dear Italo R. Yes, it is the same: we are still working on it with National Instruments and with the Customer. It will take another month before it will be ready. Warm Regards, A.R. Then came the announcement of some astonishing things…unbelievable things, the seemingly insolvable stability problems that had plagued Rossi for years were now solved; now the Rossi reactor does not even need coolant anymore and maintains a rock steady temperature in the air. It seemed like Rossi had found some extraterrestrial intelligent, a super race had made themselves known to solve his problems and inform this theories. Or maybe a gang of time travelers from the next millennium who came to visit our reality to give Rossi the answers he desperately needed. The progress he made was unnatural; the 1 MW reactor that needed a shipping container to package has been downsized from the size it had been in the October test to something smaller. No need for a shipping container anymore. Rossi would not do this miniaturization on his own hook; the downsizing had to have come as a strict requirement from the military customer. The multiple cores are no more. The one MW reactor is now the size of a suitcase containing 100 10 KW cores cigarette pack sized 10KW single cores. It uses solid state direct heat to electric conversion. The core is now solid state like a computer chip and no mention of the secret sauce. There is now a hydride source of hydrogen. Yes Rossi is smart, but now his intellect is expanded beyond all limits if he has done all these wonders alone in only ½ year. Or he could have had help…lots of help…selfless help. But who could have given him all that help and ask for nothing in return except to be kept in the deep background away from public view? The mystery builds. Who could these selfless benefactors be… * *In Mesopotamian mythology , are associated with the divine realm, but cannot be considered gods, but primarily, guardians or tutelary spirits of places where men should not have access.

Re: [Vo]:Speculation: Where is Rossi allegedly manufacturing his eCats?
I can't believe how so many people are still after Rossi's tales, puzzling about customers, factories, partners, certifications, patents and so on. Here a hint about Rossi's ecat factoryhttp://www.santa.net/help-elves-make-toys/location. Enjoy :) 2012/2/27 ecat builder ecatbuil...@gmail.com I enjoy speculation... Since http://defkalion-energy.com/ is offline and news is quiet... Since Rossi can be removed from his position of CEO by the Leonardo board of directors, it means that Rossi has sold a majority of his company shares in exchange for cash, talent, and other business assets. The purchasing of Leonardo shares may have been done through one or more companies or a venture capital group. Rossi suggests it is a single company that has a business presence that might be narrowed down by revealing which state the factory will be located in. I think East Coast is probable. The size of the deal would have to be pretty large if Rossi has a convincing demo. I'd say the market cap of a business buying Leonardo would have a market cap over 5B and is probably a Fortune 1000 (or Global 500) company. My guess is Energy sector, other than oil... or aerospace... GE? LMT, SI... Interesting to speculate how a company like GOOG or AAPL could make a go of it. - Brad

Yesterday it was reported that National Instruments and Leonardo Corporation/Andrea Rossi or partners are no longer doing business together. 1. Is this true? If true will this development affect your manufacturing schedule of 12-18 months? 2. Does the E-Cat have a control system ready for commercialization and manufacture in your factory? 3. Is delivery of the 1MW E-Cat to your 1st customer still on schedule (less than 1 month from now)? Thanks and good luck with your invention and work. L.F. Andrea Rossi February 19th, 2012 at 2:52 PM Dear Lu Fong: I have received many comments with the same questions, so I answer to you and the answers are valid also for the other Readers who have put the same questions. We have worked very well with N.I., and we have learnt from them very much. We are very grateful to them for all what they have teached to us, training our technological people in a very useful way, for weeks. As I said already, Leonardo Corporation is structurally changed in these last weeks, and the Trust to which now Leonardo Corporation belongs has chosen other suppliers. Also our Customer has chosen other suppliers for the first generation of the domestic E-Cats and of the 1 MW plants. We will remain always grateful to NI for what they teached to our people and we will ask in future proposals also to them . Personally, I am convinced that sooner or later we will buy also their systems. Said this, I want answer in the detail to your questions: 1- Our scheduling, obviously, will not be affected, the suppliers we have chosen are already respecting all the scheduled milestones. 2- 3- Yes, we have already the control systems set up in the 1 MW plant, which will be delivered to the Customer very soon. By the way, such systems have been chosen directly from the Customer, who preferred a supplier he was already working with. I want to add that we have chosen other Customers not because better, but only because of their longstanding collaboration with our Partners and Customer. I personally think that NI is a very good company and, again, we will maintain them in our list of Suppliers, honoured of this. The 1 MW plant is a magnificence, and the preparation of the robotized line to produce the E-Cats is in schedule to start the production within Autumn and the deliveries within the next Winter, with some luck; in the worst case, within 18 months we will deliver, and we will deliver at the prices we promised. The technology has been revolutionized, we are testing the new E-Cats and we are very satisfied. This very week we will start to use the new control system made by the new Supplier. Let me do a last consideration: the fact that snakes and clowns have used this episode to create a mess is the demonstration that we have not to release the names of our Partner, Suppliers and Customers, to avoid the falsifications that the puppet snakes and the clowns make up and, over all, the disturbments that they bring up to all the entities working with us. We all need to work in peace. We have to work in our factories 16 hours per day (also today, Sunday) and we have not time at all to compete in the field of the chatters of snakes who are PAID by their puppeteers to try to create a mess from nothing.

Ok so lets move forward on the assumption Rossi had placed the sensor to generate a higher than reality Tout. As the delta T was at best 10 deg C, a bias of 6 or 7 deg C would say there was no excess during the power applied phase. Then the heaters were disconnected and the RFG was engaged. Here I see 2 avenues to apply power during the self sustain mode. Via the RFG leads which could be a high DC voltage with a small AC ripple. This would show up on a AC amp meter as a small current with the DC supplying the secret heating. This job could be split between the Small Blue Box (SBB) AC heater excitation. It could also generate a DC output with a small AC ripple. It amazes me with all the brains in that room and with the future of LENR credibility on the line, NO ONE brought a portable digital oscilloscope and looked at what the RFG and the SBB were ACTUALLY generating. Digital meters are well known to under report current and voltage from complex non sinusoidal wave shapes. But instead of doing proper checking on what was ACTUALLY being fed into the Ecat, they relied on Rossi. Well they got taken for a ride. Shaun

Please cut the rest of us some slack! We have no way of knowing if your private information is sound, or if you have been misled, or if you have drawn unsound conclusions from what you know. Mainly what I know was revealed by McKubre in his recent talk: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/McKubreMCHwhathappen.pdf See where it says AmpEnerco Run I These were independent tests done by Ampenergo before they made an agreement with Rossi. Various experts participated, including someone McKubre knows well. He trusts his expert. I know some of those people too, and I trust them. That is not to suggest that I can judge calorimetry as well as McKubre can! Far from it. But it isn't hard to judge these results. These tests were similar to the public tests conducted by Rossi, only they were independent, with someone else's instruments. Somewhat better instruments, proper computers and so on, but basically the same sort of HVAC test procedures. Okay, ask yourself this. Suppose you know that tests similar the 18-hour February test and the October self-sustaining tests were done, with instruments supplied and operated by someone you knew to be an expert, and a trustworthy person. Would that convince you? If the answer is yes, you can see why McKubre and I are pretty confident this result is real. On the other hand, if the HVAC-style testing does not satisfy you, then you will not be convinced. Mary Yugo has said she demands a blank run. As far as I know they did not do one. I think she wants to see a Seebeck calorimeter. I am sure they did not use that. So she would not be satisfied by these tests. That's all there is to it. I have no knowledge of Rossi's personal business. For all I know he might be robbing dozens of investors. I do not think he is. I have absolutely no knowledge of any such thing, no evidence, and frankly I could not care less if he is robbing people. I am sure his claims are real. That does not preclude the possibility that he is defrauding people; it would mean he is defrauding them with a genuine cold fusion reactor. Not my problem. Here is a key issue. Rossi's personality is an open book thanks to his website. That is unique to the 21st century. People who dismiss him because of his personality should think about that. Suppose in 1879 Edison had a kept an Internet blog while he invented the incandescent light. Suppose everyone could follow along with his trials and tribulations and his frequent crazy ideas. Now, 140 years later, you can read detailed biographies of him. You can read the lab notebooks. You can see why some of his investors lost their nerve and sold out for pennies on the dollar as he floundered around spending rivers of money, changing the design radically, apparently getting nowhere. In my opinion, his comments were no less extreme than Rossi's; his behavior no less erratic. That is true of many other famous inventors. It is also true of many ordinary programmers, chemists and others doing creative work that is worthy, difficult, but never becomes famous. It is true of some top notch gourmet chefs; a guy I know who can climb and cut down just about any tree with minimal equipment but frightful risk; and many farmers and fishermen in Yamaguchi.
