Andrea Rossi,

Does the power rating of a module (1 kW, 5 kW, 10 kW) affect the time of 
startup or shutdown? If smaller or lower power modules heat up faster than 
larger ones (or vice versa), it might be possible to ramp up or rampdown a 
startup or shutdown by sequencing the startup or shutdown of several modules in 
order to avoid major power jumps.

no, it does not affect. We are close to present our 1 MW Hot cat, which will

We're talking, if correctly replicated, of a few dozen watts of excess

I predict that even Jed will give up within the next five years.


My operating hypothesis with Rossi, aside from the minor possibility 
of Total Fraud, is that he actually did find significant heat, 
sometimes. He might even have had some cells that produced 
significant heat for a long time, but that he had not actually 
learned to control the reaction to make it reliable, and reliability 
is crucial for a commercial product.


Inventors tend to believe that they can solve any problem. Some 
inventors have been known to jump the gun, so to speak, to announce a 
product before the last details are worked out. And then, needing to 
demonstrate it, some inventors have been known to create exaggerated 
demonstrations. (After all, we'll have it fixed by next month.)


That there is some level of legitimacy to a need to keep the exact 
invention secret provides a ready excuse.


What I've written here is only conjecture. It was, however, behind my 
advice to the LENR community, when Rossi first made his big splash in 
early 2011, to not endorse Rossi's work without independent 
confirmation, because any failure to complete a commercial product 
would then reflect poorly on the cold fusion community.


I would prefer to have been wrong.

I also warned that for Rossi to depend on secrecy to maintain his 
intellectual property was foolish, it wouldn't work. Rossi may have 
tacked onto this a deliberate creation of an appearance of fraud, in 
an attempt to suppress independent attempts to find strong NiH effects.


Time will tell. A lot of people are now working openly on NiH. The 
field has promise, though it is not scientifically established: 
with anything like the power of PdD LENR. It remains possible, at 
this point, that some unidentified artifacts are creating an 
appearance of excess heat.


On the other hand, if Storms is correct and the NiH product is 
deuterium, I predict that the ash will be identified soon, within a 
year or two. Demonstrating deuterium as ash could be as simple as 
using seriously deuterium-depleted light water in the experiments, 
and finding a correlation between heat and deuterium abundance, as 
was done with heat and helium production in PdD experiments.

 Rossi's claims seem similar to many others, especially Celani. Adjusting for
 the mass of material and the temperature they are in the same ball park. If
 Celani is right, it seems likely to me that Rossi is too.

 I doubt that Rossi is faking anything.

Yup. I think Rossi deserves a lot of the credit for that. Not all of it.

As far as I am concerned, Rossi has done no harm and plenty of good for
this field. He is a rascal at times but harmless. Our reputation in the
mass media is already so low he can't make it any worse.

He rubs people the wrong way.

He has a big mouth and he can be annoying but I do not think he has done
anything wrong. Even if he is faking it, which I do not believe, he would
mainly hurt himself, plus people such as Levi and EK. He would have no

From: Akira Shirakawa shirakawa.ak...@gmail.com


Apparently [1], by hearsay [2], something along those lines should 
come out at around mid-October but I'm personally not expecting 
much, or that this is even related to Rossi. Well, at least it 
costs nothing to keep following the latest news and developments.


It's still wait and see time.

a) The warm 1MW IS still listed for sale.
b) The warm 1MW now has SOME kind of safety certification
c) Something is happening on the hot  eCat front
d) We all said Rossi was nuts to sell directly to consumers without 
a UL (or equivalent) certification, which would take a long time
e) There are multiple reports of NiH generating excess energy (So 
Rossi must be faking something real?)


My responses:

a. Means nothing. It takes nothing to list something for sale.
b. Safety certification can be obtained with a nonfunctional product.
c. Something is happening means more of the same old same old.
d. Sure, in a way. But direct to consumers is not the first place 
to sell a product, plus it's possible to sell investigational 
products to consumers who are willing to accept risks. Selling 
directly to consumers would not mean, without safety certification, 
mass-marketing of a product. The consumers would really be the 
adventurous. And a sane seller would make sure that all risks were 
documented, that there was adequate provision for safety, even if 
that might be expensive.
e. Yes. Rossi might be faking something real. Excess energy from 
NiH was reported long ago. That someone saw real or imagined excess 
energy tells us *nothing* about whether Rossi is getting excess 
energy. Rossi's claims, it should be recognized, were outliers, he 
was reporting far more energy than ever before seen, and implying 
that it was reliable. I do not think that Rossi is pure fraud, though 
it remains possible. Rather, more likely, it would explain much of 
his behavior, and the delays, he has exaggerated what he has, in some 
ways at least (saying that such and such will be ready on such and 
such a date is a form of exaggeration if that's not actually 
reasonable), and perhaps even to the extent of sometimes faking results.


It's important to get this: that NiH might be real is no indicator at 
all of Rossi's honesty. None.


Rossi has successfully created the appearance of being a con artist. 
Some of his defenders think that he is doing this deliberately, to 
throw off would--be snakes who might otherwise try to imitate his 
work and steal his rights.


And those of us who don't have solid inside information, from 
independent sources, must consider that sometimes appearances are 
real. I can't tell the difference between a fake con artist and a 
real one, and, in fact, both are fakes, that's all I can tell. 
*Something* is fake here. (Or Rossi is totally stupid and unaware of 
how he's making himself look. Possible, perhaps, but not likely.)


Rossi could quickly bypass all this by simply allowing independent 
verification of his claims. He hasn't done it.


No, Rossi, at this point, stands exposed as someone who has no 
credibility. He did announce that it would all be over last October, 
that there would be no more room for doubt. He stood on this as an 
argument and a defense. You will all know.


We don't know, except that we know nothing. We know that his 
prediction was false. He could easily recover, but doesn't, he just 
keeps on with the same bluster and confidence. As in confidence 
game, or con game. Con artists are those who design ways of 
gaining confidence, and people are con artists because it works.


And this has practically nothing to do with science. Rossi has not 
provided or allowed the gathering of the necessary scientific data to 
understand the effect behind his heat claims. We have little, if 
anything, more from Defkalion, though Defkalion *looks* more 
credible. From Brillouin, we have even more information, though still 
not enough.


NiH is far from an established, accepted phenomenon, compared to PdD. 
PdD may never be commercially practical as an approach, but we can be 
confident that fusion is actually taking place with PdD, the 
heavily-confirmed data leads to a *practical* certainty.


NiH is clearly a promising approach, worthy of continued 
investigation. But we should not shut down PdD research, because of 
the scientific implications. Knowing and understanding what is 
happening in PdD remains a crucial research goal, and it might apply 
to or elucidate what happens with NiH.

I have done this with several solvents, potash, sodium hydroxide, and weak acid 
(vinegar ect.).
What I got was no radiation, no excess energy, and a red slop of ferric 
hydroxide.  In the caustic 
solution the red slop from the stainless still anode does not form as quickly.  
(I.E. drain o does not hurt pipes)
I have also done this under RF stimulation 3 t0 500 mega hertz) .  The result 
is the same.
I have tried it with titanium anodes.  A film forms on the anode and tends to 
cut off the current.


Copper anodes make a green slop.  You have a choice,  Do you want no energy 
with a red or a green slop.


I still have more ideas to try but I have lost interest and motivation.

True enough but the verification of the NiH system is, itself, a condition
for the reality of the Rossi effect.  So to be rational, people have to
distinguish between the probability of the Rossi effect being real GIVEN
THAT the NiH system is real, and the probability that the Rossi effect is
real GIVEN THAT we don't have information on the NiH system.  To state that
these two numbers are different is a little like saying that FZ is glib.

By the way, the exclusive licensee for Italy ProMeteon s.r.l. [4] 
recently postponed their countdown on their website to November 1st. The 
website was supposed to open on October 1st.

 Apparently [1], by hearsay [2], something along those lines should come
 out at around mid-October but I'm personally not expecting much, or that
 this is even related to Rossi. Well, at least it costs nothing to keep
 following the latest news and developments.

 I do remember Rossi writing a few weeks ago that a University report would
 come out at some point in October/November (originally within mid
 October). I'm not sure how he can expect people to quickly forget such a
 strong statement, if he changed his mind about it.

I think they will report in a more traditional manner on the latest 
developments on their LENR reactor and third party validation / 
replications (I seem to remember that several were planned, but haven't 
read anymore about them on 22passi). Maybe earlier this year [1].

Some are speculating this will be a University report about an 
independent E-Cat test. However, Passerini said he will attend this 
event (in addition to the other two he listed), so it's probably 
something more than just a report. We'll see.

It's still wait and see time. 
a) The warm 1MW IS still listed for sale. 
b) The warm 1MW now has SOME kind of safety certification

c) Something is happening on the hot eCat front
d) We all said Rossi was nuts to sell directly to consumers without a UL
(or equivalent) certification, which would take a long time
e) There are multiple reports of NiH generating excess energy (So Rossi
must be faking something real?)

That's the point I was trying to make when I noted there have been many
other Ni-H reports.

Rossi's claims seem similar to many others, especially Celani. Adjusting
for the mass of material and the temperature they are in the same ball
park. If Celani is right, it seems likely to me that Rossi is too.

I doubt that Rossi is faking anything.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
What’s up with a new E-CAT Meeting Scheduled for Pordenone, Italy on Oct 12.

Dear Steven N. Karels:
Your question is inspiring: well, I will not go to Pordenone to clean the 
Dolomites with the wax: it is possible that in the Pordenione convention I will 
bring the final results regarding the third party validation of the Hot Cat.
It is not certain, some work has still to be done, but it is not impossible.
( He,he,he,he…)
Warm Regards,
A.R.


We will see (maybe) if the third party validation will be actually from 
a completely independent group/entity.


Cheers,
S.A.

The most worrisome thing is that indeed Celani's quantum reactor does resemble 
that of Rossi's, because he too refuses any independent confirmation or 
replication of his technology, although technology is just too important to let 
into hands of few.

That is incorrect. He is assisting other people who are testing and
independently replicating. He allowed the people at NI to replace all of
his equipment with their own. They kept only the cell itself.
