Jed,

If it is a matter of calorimetry as you insist, why would they ever settle
out of court?

Rossi claims it totally rocked while IH claim it totally did not work
whatsoever.

Settlement would mean that there is a middle ground in terms of success
based on calorimetry.
Settlement would mean that it worked at the very least a little bit.

Rossi will never accept that it did not work at all.

Best regards,
Patrick

Jed, IH was created to buy out Rossi. IH and Rossi are highly intertwined
when it comes to credibility at least. Since then they also bought out some
of Rossi's competitors. So it's not IH as such that you trust as having
more expertise, but Rossi's competitors. You obviously know and are in

So IH invested in Brillouin (BEC).
BEC's team seems to have strengthened a lot.
http://brillouinenergy.com/about/leadership/
It includes Carl Page.
McKubre is effectively an insider to IH.
He/his team is probably the one who convinced IH that Rossi's thing does
not work.
BEC is obviously in direct competition with Leonardo Corp (LC).
IH have chosen BEC over LC.
Jed and McKubre are good acquaintances.

2016-04-13 Thread Patrick Ellul
Rossi claims that ERV (Penon) report is 100% positive with 50x energy so he
wants IH to pay up so he files a lawsuit with documentation.
IH issued a very short press release rejecting the claims.
Jed Rothwell says that someone he trusts inside IH says that the ERV report
is very flawed.
The report is still unpublished.

Dear Andrea,

Jed Rothwell alleges that there is a second ERV of the 1 year 1MW plat test
and that his report draws an opposite conclusion to the the one from the
ERV that you described.

Does this second ERV exist?

Best regards,

April 13, 2016 at 7:52 AM

Patrick Ellul:
Jed Rothwell is an intelligent person and has a remarkable sense of humour.
Obviously he is joking.
The only ERV has been the one accepted by contract from both the
counterparts with a signed agreement.
It is true that IH had their men constantly in the plant all the 352 days
of the tests, and never said anything was wrong. As well as it is true that
Tom Darden, JT Vaughn and their investors from Woodford and from China have
been in the plant many times, have talked with the director of JM in his
office of the factory, have made their investors talk with the director of
JM, who said good things giving good references, based on which Woodford
has given to Tom Darden 50-60 millions of dollars and the Chinese started
with him a 200 million concern in China.
Tom Darden , IT Vaughn also in this case danced like opera ballet etoiles
around their investors, the director of JM, myself chanting ” Stellar,
stellar”. No remarks of any sort have been communicated from IH, Cherokee
Fund or Woodfors, let alone the Chinese, about the plant, the ERV, the
Customer. Until our bill loomed. Witnesses available. In due time and place.

Rossi responds back to IH with 3 strong statements.

Andrea Rossi
April 7, 2016 at 7:27 PM
Dear Janne:
I have to comment the press release of IH, being a press release and not a
forensic act.
They made the Lugano reactor ( they also signed it ) they made many
replications of which we have due record and witnesses, they made multiple
patent applications ( without my authotization ) with their chief engineer
as the co-inventor ( he invented nothing ) , with detailed description of
the replications , they made replications with the attendance of Woodford,
after which they got 50 or 60 millions of dollars from Woodfords’
investors, they made replications with the attendance of Chinese top level
officers, after which they started thanks to the E-Cat they made an R
activity in China in a 200 millions concern, they made replications with an
E-Cat completely made by them under my direction the very day in which the
1 MW plant has been delivered in Raleigh, they made replications that we
have recorded. After the replication they made with the attendance of
Woodford in 2013 Mr Tom Darden said publicly: ” this replication has been
stellar” ( witnesses available). But this is not the place to discuss this.
We have prepared 18 volumes to explain exactly and in detail the activity
of our “Licensee” and his acquaintances from 2013 to now. Until they had to
collect money thanks to the E-Cat, they made replications and have been
happy with the E-Cat; when it turned to have to pay, they discovered that
they never made replications, that the ERV that they had chosen in
agreement with us was not good, that the test on the 1 MW plant, thanks to
which they collected enormous amounts of money from the investors and where
I put at risk my health working 16-18 hours per day was not a good test (
but for all the year of the test they NEVER said a single word of
complaint, even if they had constantly their men in the plant), etc etc.
But the worse has still to come out. The worse is in the 18 volumes we will
present in due time, in due place. A blog is not the right place to discuss
a litigation. This is only a quick answer to the press release made by IH.
Ad majora.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Hank Mills:
They prepared everything, the charges, the body of the reactor EVERYTHING
!!!.
I just teached to them what to do.
They never used anything pre-prepared by Leonardo Corp.
Now, let me talk to you of a very singular coincidence: Brillouin has
always made only electrolytic apparatuses: go to read all their patent
applications made before their agreement with IH, and you will find
confirmation of what I am saying ( I know their patents by heart, because I
have studied them and probably I know them better than themselves : I wrote
about 100 pages of notes about their patents ). And now the singular
coincidence: they make the agreement with IH in April 2015, and Voilà, they
made a public demo in Capitol Hill ( Washington, DC) with a device that is
the Copy-Cat of something I am familiar with. Nothing that Brillouin has
ever made before the agreement with IH. What a coincidence !!!
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Hank Mills:
In the press release of IH they write that ” for three years they tried to
replicate the Rossi effect, with no avail”: very good, but during those
three years Industrial Heat collected about 60 million dollars from
Woodford, more millions from other sources, exclusively based on my E-Cats
technology. This before making shopping to buy other patents. Now, the
cases are two: either they are lying when they say they didn’t replicate,
or they made a fraud collecting 60 millions from Woodford, more from
others, not to mention Cherokee fund. You had to see Tom Darden and JT
Vaughn dance like ballet etoiles around the investors, showing them the
E-Cats, and telling them that the E-Cats had been built by them! “Stellar”
coherently Darden, in his role of etoile, repeated to the enchanted
attandees, ready to spend 50 millions. Now, that my bill arrived, the E-Cat
had not been replicated , they say. For three years.
Again, I am just answering to a press release of IH.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

 Fascinating. They make it clear that the device is still a prototype. Hope
 they can pull it off. Thrust being 100-500 mN, I'm guessing that's the
 approximate weight (thrust) of a piece of paper as measured at the surface
 of Earth. Sounds similar to NASA's ion thrusters already in use on a couple
 of satellites. Very efficient.

 Why is it that Americans always round down the prices of their products
 with 9 nines, as if they think the dollar amount will look cheaper to the
 prospective buyer than if they used a bunch of zeros. I've heard many parts
 of Europe don't practice such silly accounting tricks.

 I'm curious. Does this technology violate Newton's Third Law?

applications for its *optically stimulated luminescence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosimeter

Aluminium oxide is an electrical insulator used as a substrate (silicon on
sapphire) for integrated circuits but also as a tunnel barrier for the
fabrication of superconducting devices such as single electron transistors
and superconducting quantum interference (SQUID) devices.

Insulation for high-temperature furnaces is often manufactured from
aluminium oxide. Sometimes the insulation has varying percentages of silica
depending on the temperature rating of the material. The insulation can be
made in blanket, board, brick and loose fiber forms for various application
requirements.

Re: [Vo]:How do ya' like THAT COP?

Hi Jed,
Side-track question... what constitutes a peer-review? And does this report
have one?
Regards,
Patrick

On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 8:39 AM, Jed Rothwell jedrothw...@gmail.com wrote:

 p. 7 of the report:

 Subsequent calculation proved that increasing the input by roughly 100
 watts had caused an increase of about 700 watts in power emitted.


 It might have worked even better. They did not push it:

 The speed with which the temperature had risen persuaded us to desist
 from any further attempt to increase the power input to the reactor. As we
 had no way of substituting the device in case of breakage or melting of
 internal parts, we decided to exercise caution and continue operating the
 reactor at ca. 900 W.


 I have long said that the COP does not matter at this stage in the
 research. It is no indication of what the future COP might be, after
 practical devices are engineered. When the input power is stable direct
 current, it does not interfere much in the calorimetry. Having said all
 that, I will say that a high COP is gratifying. It does make the
 calorimetry more believable when the input power waveform is complicated as
 in this case. So I'm happy to see a high COP.

 Also it does away with some of the proposed theoretical limits some people
 have worried about.

 Finally, it is nice to see the device putting out much more thermal power
 than the power supplies could produce, according to the manufacturers. The
 significance of that will be lost on the skeptics. It has been lost on Mary
 Yugo already, who is blathering about cheese over at Lewan's blog:

According to that bet, the report will be the judge.

The report is the judge of that bet by the COP that it reports.

 Who will judge the bet is won ?
 Nature, Science ?

 the problem is that in the case the report is positive based on the
 experimental results :
 - first the testers will weaken their language , like they already did, to
 avoid commiting, whatever is the result.
 - second the skeptics will just say no it is not true and they will win
 the bet... because Nature, Science, APS will confirm...


 you should rather bet on something opposable like :
 an announce by a big companies (how many billions sales?10bn?), who never
 communicate on LENR (list in th bet the companies to exclude), they are
 funding research in LENR...


 or a client who communicates. NB: is Cherokee not a client since they

 Hi guys,

 I'm not too sure how it would work, but here it goes anyway.

 I don't think that there is anyone in this world who would bet that the
 reported COP will be  2, not even the skeptics, as they believe that the
 report will be wrong or faked.

 I'm less confident on getting the timing right for a breakout development
 than you.  Even if we saw a spike of interest comparable to the one shown
 for the first Elforsk test, I very much doubt there will be more publicity
 following upon it than happened the last time.


 I agree. I doubt that ELFORSK wants people to know, other than the small
 circle of people who follow this field. I doubt they will keep the paper
 secret. They probably couldn't; it would leak. I expect them to publish at
 arXiv again.



 Even if the test results are stellar, I do not think they would cause a
 movement in the oil markets at this point.


 If stellar results could have any effect on public opinion or industry,
 the whole world would have believed in cold fusion after McKubre published.
 Experts such as Gerisher and later Duncan looked at the data and were
 instantly convinced. Fully replicated, high sigma, top quality experimental
 proof from hundreds of world class laboratories plus $18 will buy you a 30
 Hershey Bars at Amazon.com. That is all it is good for.



  If I had to guess, there would need to be three or four credible,
 completely independent reproductions that were given high degree of
 visibility in the mainstream media before cold fusion is even sufficiently
 funded.


 The mainstream media would never publish any report, no matter how
 convincing. Not from ELFORSK, EPRI or any other power company organization.
 The physics establishment will say that power companies know nothing about
 nuclear physics so they must be wrong. The mass media will only report on
 what the physics establishment blesses.

 Other than that, the mass media would only report:

 1. A famous mogul such as Bill Gates is funding cold fusion OR

 2. A commercial cold fusion device has actually gone sale.

 Anything less newsworthy will never see the light of day.

 That does not matter much. We do not not need the mass media. What we need
 is money, from someone like Gates, and we need experiments that work.

 However if you were rational you could easily bet that he won't be able to

 maybe is it what you try to do asking for evidence (accepted by
 mainstream, which is impossible unless huge industrial development) until
 end of 2013.

 the only thing that will make people accept e-cat is industrial
 application at large scale, and it will happen in 1-5years at best.

 It will take many years to be visible, and the denial we observe will slow
 down the development even more that with usual innovation. Usually it take
 5 years and is deceiving compared to the initial ambition.
 since rossi started to have a working prototype in 2011/2012, you can
 expect a real delivery in 2016/2017... since it is a huge breakthrough, in
 a huge denial, the real delay is hard to guess... it can be earlier or
 later depending on who win, greed or conformism. I hope greed will help us.

 so you bet against (accepted) evidence, ie: asking for industrial
 diffusion, until end of 2013, is very smart. You will win. put the limit to
 2017, and it will be fair.

 If you don't try to rationally abuse of our innocence in industrial
 question, I won't bet against you like it was stupid to have an CDS against
 AIG, unless it was backed by the federal bank (hopefully for the fool who
 bought them, AIG was bailed in)... It is as stupid as having an insurance

 my only bet, is betting my reputation (now everybody know who I am, and

 company wan't me to invest, why not a little, but i know that like on
 Internet 99% of startups will die, and the 1% will rule the world.

 Just see what Aldo Proia did, he have skin in the game, and unlike some
 clown who are fan of Rossi, he stopped a promising career in solar energy.
 Same for Xanthoulis.

  Essen also put his reputation in the game.

 remind that the first plane motorized flied in 1901, and was accepted by

 On
 the topic regarding electrical measurements the report says that the

 only and computed the energy consumption with data collected on the 3
 phases. The PCE-830 can be fooled if the setup isn't as expected. For
 example, the ground might be not the ground but a hidden phase. That's why
 they should have checked:
 - The quality of the ground
 - The quality of the 3 phases regarding the neutral or between
 phases
 - The quality of the neutral (if present and used)
 - The quality of the 50 Hz of the power line

 That check will remove every concern about electrical input. Maybe they did
 the check but there is no mention about that in the report of Levi and al.

 To whom may I address this concern at the Levi's team and how ?

So in a sense the elimination of fakes is cumulative.
 
  Bear in  mind that when Rossi says he has something he tends to follow up
  on it.
  (Maybe not exactly as promised, but close to it).
 
  Let's accept for the moment the OUTPUT analysis : it DOES produce the
  documented COP.
 
  Electrical INPUT is a two-edged sword. It can be measured to 6 decimal
  places .. IF you do it correctly,
  but if you don't cover ALL bases you might miss something.
  (eg an AC-only meter might not notice DC, or HF AC beyond its spec).
 
  But Rossi says he has a GAS-POWERED eCat. I believe him: ANY source of
  temperature stimulus will do.
 
  It's rather hard to modulate/cheat a GAS meter, though the actual INPUT
  power delivered might only be known to ONE decimal place.

This is Krivit's reaction on the Forbes article:

Steven B. Krivit  http://blogs.forbes.com/people/stevenbkrivit/9 hours ago

This is a partially independent measurement, performed on a device that was
built by and controlled by Rossi, and located in Rossi’s facility. The
measurement was performed by some of the parties that have been involved in
this scam since 2011.

The fact that the authors of the paper have stated that they have performed
an independent test is a significant misrepresentation and would qualify as
research misconduct by some organizations.

Re: [Vo]:Rossi Says ecat mouse COP is 100-200

2013-05-14 Thread Patrick Ellul
The activator consumes 900W of electricity and produces 910W of usable
heat. This heat is used by the client. It is not consumed by the ecat.

The ecat consumes zero heat and produces 1kW (or 10kW if it was a typo) of
usable heat.

Either way of typo or not, the ecat as a stand-alone system within this
configuration could be seen as producing heat without consuming any energy.

This is the way Rossi is explaining it.

 You are right Alan. He should really call the 1kW the kitten, to avoid
 confusion.
 
 About the i-dont-want-to-say-infinite-so-i-say-200-to-300 issues... he
 explains that if the activator pays-for-itself, then the actual ecat is
 giving free energy.

 I wonder if the Activator produces 910 W in excess of the 900 W consumed,
 or
 only 10 W in excess?

If you split the time between activator and ecat as he suggests you get
slightly different numbers:

0.91 * 35% of the time = 0.3185 kWh/h
1 * 65% of the time = 0.65 kWh/h

total output = 0.9685 kWh/h
input = 0.9 * 35% of the time = 0.315 kWh/h

COP = 3.07

 Dear Dr Joseph Fine:
 Please don’t go too far: just, for now, let’s limit to what I wrote about
 the Activator/E-Cat cycle. Please read carefully what I wrote. More than
 that is not possible to get, so far. Our basic module is made by an
 apparatus in which we have 2 components: an activator, which consumes abour
 900 Wh/h and produces about 910 Wh/h of heat. This heat activates the E-Cat
 and then goes to the utilization by the Customer, so that its cost is paid
 back by itself. This activator stays in function for the 35% of the
 operational time of the syspem of the apparatus. The E-Cat, activated by
 the heat of the Activator, works for about the 65% of the operational time,
 producing about 1 kWh/h without consuming any Wh/h from the grid. Combining
 these modules we can make E-Cats of 1 kW , 10 kW, 100 kW, 1 MW ,
 respectively, of power.
 Warm Regards,
 A.R.

2013-05-13 Thread Patrick Ellul
I thought he might have done a typo, and mean 10 kWh/h so I emailed him to
ask.

He confirmed that it was a typo, and he meant 10kWh/h for the ecat, just
like it has always been.

If that is the case:

0.91 * 35% of the time = 0.3185 kWh/h
*10* * 65% of the time = 6.5 kWh/h

total output = 6.8185 kWh/h
input = 0.9 * 35% of the time = 0.315 kWh/h

COP = 21.65

 Either way, MUCH less than 100-200 -- and less than his usual guaranteed

Thanks again Jeff. Will have a look at those references.

On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Jeff Berkowitz pdx...@gmail.com wrote:

 Thorium itself cannot be used directly. Natural thorium is mostly composed
 of a single isotope, Th-232, that is only fertile, not fissile. Use of
 thorium in a power reactor or weapon requires that the natural Th-232 be
 transmuted within an already-operating reactor to U-233, which is fissile.
 This breeding of U-233 is analogous to the way plutonium is bred in a
 reactor from natural uranium.

 The difference is that in addition to the merely-fertile U-238, natural
 uranium contains a nontrivial amount of fissile U-235 which can be
 extracted (at significant expense) and used directly to make weapons. With
 thorium, the only path to weapons-grade material requires an operating
 reactor to produce fertile U-233 by transmutation. This requirement for an
 operating reactor makes the process much easier for the international
 community to monitor, among other things.

 U-233 is known to be suitable for weapons use - there is one document
 example of the U.S. building and successfully detonating a weapon with a
 U-233 pit (bomb core). So it's false to say that the thorium fuel cycle
 is completely weapons material clean. But I think it's true to say that
 the risk of weapons proliferation is lower compared to starting with U.

 I found this document which has everything you could ever want to know
 about this - although wikipedia seems good enough to answer almost any lay
 person question in this case.

 I've looked at this a little. It's been under study for over 30 years,

 economic win for countries with a lot of thorium (e.g. India), and arguably
 a little safer. But for me, bottom line is that it doesn't change the
 fundamentals. There are still waste handling issues and reactor design
 issues and nuclear economy/proliferation issues. So moving from U to Th is
 a difference (in the technology sphere) that doesn't really make a
 difference (in the public policy sphere).

  I think Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff have the best explanation of
 consciousness to date.  It's called Orchestrated Objective Reduction,
 or Orch-OR.  The two actually developed the idea separately, Sir
 Penrose being a physicist and Hameroff being a physician who
 specialized in anesthesia and cancer research.  Roger was seeking a
 model of the brain that did not require computation.  Hameroff wanted
 to know how anesthesia worked and where the conscious went when under.
 Penrose theorizes that spacetime is granular at the size of the
 Planck length and that quantum superposition is linked to the
 curvature.  Orchestrated Reduction is the collapse of the
 superposition.

 Hameroff brought in the neuron microtubles which provide the
 structure.  He sees a synchronous oscillation in neural MT can
 influence other neurons.  Together they see these electrons as a sea
 embedded in the geometry of spacetime.

 Needless to say, they have many critics.  :-)

Dear Emilio Icaza:
Yes, Leonardo Corp is very much powerful now. I can already say that the
first 1 MW hot cat will go in operation within February 2013. It will not
be a military application, therefore selected persons will be allowed to
visit it. It will be installed in a big power production and distribution
plant.
This is the new. The plant is made in the USA.
An extremely important agreement has been signed after the tests of the Hot
Cat, which are going on since June in the USA and in Italy.
The details will be communicated only after the plant will have been
working for enough time to be visitable, also to avoid clubs in the wheels.
That’s all I can say right now.

Dear Dr Joseph Fine:
You are perfectly right: in fact we are designing the new 1 MW plants, for
hot temperature, and the dimensions will be those of a cylinder with a
diameter of 1.2 m and a lencth od 0.4 m.
Is shocking, I myself are surprised, but it is so.
Warmest Regards,
A.R.

Dear Franco:
Attention: the dimensions 1.2 x 0.4 is not the surface of the surface of
the reactors! Inside this drum of 1.2 x 0.4 m there are 100 reactors , each
of one having about 1 200 cm^2 of surface !
I talked of the dimensions of the external container, not of the heat
exchange surface !
Warm Regards,
A.R.

 Straw Man argument.

 First, the Hawaii authorities are the ones which automatically post all
 births in the newspaper.  During that time, anyone can report a
 birth to Hawaii authorities even if the birth did not physically occur in
 Hawaii.   Hawaii authorities did not have to verify the reported birth.  Funny
 though cause that address belongs to the grandparents, not bambi's parents.

 Second, there is no need to argue that his grandparents secretly conspired
 to make him a citizen because they knew he was going to be president.
 That's a straw man.   His grandparents were not dumb and knew the benefits
 of US citizenship.  No conspiracy to be POTUS has to be invoked, only that
 they want their grandchild to be a US citizen is good enough a reason.



 But just give me a simple explanation why his Hawaii Vault BC is still
 secret.  He can end this Birther conspiracy movement with a single phone
 call to release his vault BC.  Why hasn't he done it?  All your eloquent
 reasons will not overcome this simple fact.

 In fact, the conspiracy would need to be even deeper than our colleagues
 realized. In late July, a researcher looking to dig up dirt on Obama
 instead found a birth announcement that had been published in the Honolulu
 Advertiser on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1961:

 Of course, it’s distantly possible that Obama’s grandparents may have
 planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his
 U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday.

 Of course I know his real name.  He was naturalized as an Indonesian

 LOL,  if these were the only faults of Donkeykong, it wouldn't be such
 a big deal.

 Fact is, Donkeykong is a usurper-in-chief.  He violated and trampled on
 the most basic law of our country.  Donkeykong is a criminal and should be
 removed, by force if necessary.

Re: [Vo]:What the DOD gave to Rossi?

Not sure if the following has been brought to the attention of this thread

   Dr Rossi,

   Would the E-Cat process work for other elements (carbon, tungsten) for
   the sake of having a higher melting temperature with which to work?

   All the best,

 Axil,

 Tungsten would be a whole new game in town.

 Its main 'advantage' being that it would make Rossi's claims a bit more
 plausible.
 My personal experience is:
 Stick to what is working, and do not make major changes.

 My major objection, based on a bit of common sense, still holds:
 LENR is NOT a homogenous process and necessarily has its hot spots, far
 surpassing average temperature.
 I think we a gree that 1000degC is dangerously close to recrystallization,
 which,
 with Ni seems to be somewhere near 1120degC.
 If this is correct, Rossi would have managed nearly perfect control of the
 process, leaving all his competitors in the dust.

 Another aspect being: with a 'dry' process one cannot remove the process
 heat, so it would have to be a 'wet' process, where the cooling fluid is in
 direct contact to the reactant.

 But in this case (wet process) all MY mental conceptions of the nature of
 the process break down.

 Quite possibly I'm wrong, as an armchair theorist in the issue. Just
 assembling the laws of nature and the evidences to something possible.
 Rossi has to deliver evidence, to prove me wrong.
 Up to now he nearly did nothing of this sort.
 Right now the probability that Rossi is a bigmouth with an illusion of
 grandeur is much higher than him actually delivering something.

  *IMHO, nickel micro-powder cannot sustain reactor long term operating
 temperatures at 1000C without deteriorating especially if copper is
 produced as a transmutation product.*
 * *
 *Something has to give with this concept and I believe it is the use of
 nickel as the reaction substrate.*
 * *
 *Micro powder would be retained as a way to maximize reaction surface
 area, but an element with a higher melting temperature would need to be
 used to keep the micro powder grains from sintering together into a
 congealed mess.*
 * *
 *The use of tungsten is my guess especially since Rossi states that he
 needs more x-ray shielding in his new very high temperature system.
 Tungsten will produce that type of radiation profile.*
