View Full Version : Media Ignores Energy Breakthrough

It looks like an Italian guy is now in the non-headlines promoting cold fusion. I don't think he's going to go very far because TPTB would consider his device a threat to their monopoly on oil. They may already have tried to bribe him. If he refused, no one should be surprised if he meets with a serious if not fatal 'accident'.

His device could be a great opportunity to have decentralized electric power generation. The Utilities may also be out to destroy him as well.



The mainstream media has all but bypassed a truly remarkable development that could potentially be the biggest breakthrough in energy production since the discovery of fire: the Low Energy Nuclear Reactor, also called the Energy Catalyzer, invented by Italian engineer and inventor Andrea Rossi and his colleague, Sergio Focardi.

The Energy Catalyzer, or E-Cat, is essentially a small-scale cold fusion nuclear reactor about the size of a large suitcase that generates huge amounts of power very inexpensively, and without significant environmental drawbacks.

Truly an energy breakthrough. I remember reading some translated blogs and someone asked Rossi that the elite might have him "offed". He replied that he has put things in motion that if something happens to him that the technology will be released to the world.

If I were to ever come up with something like that I would simply post it in as many internet sites as I could before "they" could kill me.......any money that I would want would come by itself later on.

That is the only way to play the game. You have to have a contingecy plan in place. If you go missing, you have to have people lined up to voice it loudly.

I wasn't aware of it when I posted this--Nordic Berserker posted the same story in January. Here's a link to his post:

I don't know what happened with Nordic, but I wish he's come back. He made this forum interesting.

He said he might come back later. He's too busy with work right now, and needs a break from the forum at the same time.

We had a post a week or two back on this and I for one am hopeful of the outcome as it does sound good.

It looks interesting. As long as they can keep control of the whole thing they should be right, meaning as long as they are not forced to sell the tech.

When can I go buy one? Or is this going to be non-US available only?

Here is another tested and demonstrated technology that is being ignored.

Damn ! it's stuff like that that makes me want to bone up on my chemistry.

we should be able to guess what the catalyst chemical is.

i'll start the list -

Palladium
Platinum
... both of which are often used with silver in other industrial applications.

energy breakthrough=no more need to be in the middle east=israel is upset=it will NEVER be mainstream.

The claim

Rossi and Focardi say that, when the atomic nuclei of nickel and hydrogen are fused in their reactor, the reaction produces copper and a large amount of energy. The reactor uses less than 1 gram of hydrogen and starts with about 1,000 W of electricity, which is reduced to 400 W after a few minutes. Every minute, the reaction can convert 292 grams of 20°C water into dry steam at about 101°C. Since raising the temperature of water by 80°C and converting it to steam requires about 12,400 W of power, the experiment provides a power gain of 12,400/400 = 31. As for costs, the scientists estimate that electricity can be generated at a cost of less than 1 cent/kWh, which is significantly less than coal or natural gas plants.

One problem is that this reactor may use a lot of nickel. It was stated in the article that less than 1 gram of hydrogen was used to let the reactor run for a couple of hours, producing about 25kWh (I assume), but for every hydrogen nucleus a nickel nucleus must be available, and nickel has a molecular weight of around 60, which means for every gram of hydrogen around 60 grams of nickel must be available. However there is only one isotope of nickel that can readily produce copper with the addition of hydrogen, and give off neutrons, and that is Ni64, the problem is that this isotope only exist in about 1% of natural occurring nickel. Possibly Ni62 can be used in the reactor too, but both isotopes doesn't comprise more than 5%. which means that to produce 25kWh of energy, you need at least 1.2 kg of Nickel or more probably 6 kg of nickel, or 3-15 Troy pounds of nickel, and nickel is kind of expensive, nowadays, but maybe you could sell back the nickel without these isotopes?

This would make Chad (http://gold-silver.us/forum/general-discussion/the-bank-cut-me-off-from-nickels-today/?topicseen) happy.

This Hidro machine looks very interesting. It's using simple water pressure variables to create a piston effect that turns a weighted cylinder. KISS.
It seems like something almost any garage inventor might be able to tinker with without depending on exotic scarce materials or resources.

Yeah, he has been gone for a bit. I don't remember seeing a post from TA/TT since I've been back.

Cool article. If this guy doesn't get off'ed, it will be revolutionary.

I wonder what the catalyst will be. In '89 when Fleischmann and Pons were experimenting with it, it was palladium. I may trade in some GML's for some Pd.

TA is around. See my post #5 in this thread regarding Nordic Berzerker.
