Just read an article on Wired.co.uk about Rossi and his E-Cat.
"Cold fusion rears its head as 'E-Cat' research promises to change the world"
The article summarizes the beginnings of Cold Fusion research with the Pons and Fleischmann observations and its later media fiasco to the operational process of Rossi’s E-Cat’s and its functioning.
In the article there were various mentioning’s of the possibility of it all being a hoax, Krivit’s flawed analysis against the E-Cat’s validity, the endorsement by the Nobel laureate Brian Josephson, DARPA’s investigations into LENR research, Ampenergo and Defkalion.
It was interspersed with the US Navel Research Facility previous work into the field and the findings by the two Swedish scientist,Kullander and Essénand the coverage by the Swedish NTeknik magazine confirmations made by the Skeptics Society.
All and all, its the beginning of some reasonable mainstream coverage.
Tweets from today’s test by
Daniele Passerini at 22passi with his live coverage of the test concurs that the E-Cat is running flawlessly in self sustaining mode and is very impressive to behold.
This just in:
The E-Cat had just been shut down to cool off as was planed for. This will then allow for an open inspection of the apparatus to occur by the scientists and engineers present at today's demonstration.
Hey! The story also fianlly made it to Slashdot with lots of discussion.

Not only that, but the E-Cat now has its own music video, viewable at http://www.tomanddoug.com/ecat.html
ReplyDeleteI will be very interested in seeing the figures - what COP is it getting, and what was the estimated heat output, plus details like if it was running at full capacity. On the other hand, it is great that it ran without input power for a decent amount of time - just another nail in the coffin of the denialists (you listening Krivit?).
