The only reference that I could find on ecat.com to dispensation of university testing was more than two months ago, before Rossi seemed to have disavowed it: Q: Will you do more public tests of the E-cat? Asked by Ecat.com 2 months ago
A: 1- we made all the tests we had to make 2- no more public tests will be made, the phase of public tests is over for us 3- we now are no more making test-prototypes, but industrial products 4- the tests of our E-Cats from now on will be made exclusively by our Customers 5- all our next work with Universities (Bologna, Uppsala) will not be public, but restricted and confidential Research and Development activity. by Andrea Rossi 2 months ago Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:23:13 -0800 From: maryyu...@gmail.com To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:University testing of the E-cat question asked on Rossi blog " Italo R. January 19th, 2012 at 3:36 PM Dear Ing. Rossi, I have been told that in your official E-Cat website http://ecat.com/ there is the important news that two Universities are already studying and testing your E-Cats. May I ask you if it is real? Maybe those Universities are in Bologna and Uppsala? I apologize to be so indiscreet but, as you know, we all are excited and follow every fact of E-Cats!! Kind regards, Italo R." Interestingly Rossi published this but did not respond at all so far. Anyone know if the University of Bologna will extend Rossi's contract to test and characterize his "technology"? It was supposed to expire about now if not funded.
