Free Ecat Pilot Program

Posted on June 11, 2013 by admin

Hydro Fusion is looking for a Pilot Customer for the first ECAT 1 MW Plant to operate in Sweden. The customer will only pay for the energy produced by the ECAT, i.e. Hydro Fusion and Leonardo Corporation will take responsibility for all associated costs including: the plant itself, installation and any transportation costs. In return the Pilot Customer agrees upon

Scheduled Installation time by late fall 2013.
Hydro Fusion and Leonardo Corporation to use the Pilot Plant as a Showcase where external customers can be introduced to an ECAT 1 MW in operation.

Hydro Fusion is open to any type of heat application given the restriction of a maximum 120 C temperature. The ECAT’s energy specifications are:

Heat energy is produced according to specs.
- Heat energy 1 MW thermal at up to 120 C
- Heat exchanger from ECAT system to customer heat application.
Electricity is consumed according to specs.
- 250 kWe maximum power consumption
- 166 kWe average power consumption, i.e. COP=6

Hydro Fusion would like to receive quotations from Pilot Customers on both thermal MWh price and electric MWh price, based on an assumption of 7,000+ operating hours per year. Please specify clearly if your quotes depend on the outdoor temperature.

Pilot Customers, with an interest in this game changing technology, are kindly asked to contact us at info@hydrofusion.com. Please write “Pilot Customer” in the subject of the email.

Ecat Third Party Test Results

Posted on May 21, 2013 by admin

“Even by the most conservative assumptions as to the errors in the measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than conventional energy sources.” — Report Abstract

“The results obtained indicate that energy was produced in decidedly higher quantities than what may be gained from any conventional source.” — Report Conclusion

With the results now published, what happens next? How independent are the familiar names of the authors? What is the margin of error? Does this really prove anything?

Ten Things We Learned About the Ecat Today

Posted on May 8, 2013 by admin

In an audio interview today, Andrea Rossi answered questions on the Ecat, Hot Cat and Leonardo Corporation’s operations in LENR.

1). The military customer has run its Ecat for “many thousands of hours.”

2). The Leonardo Corporation guarantees a COP of 6.

3.) U.S. Partner plans to sell its heat to customer at temperatures of 102-130 C.

4). The Hot Cat works at very good stability at temperatures of 350 C.

5). The infamous Hot Cat photo has leaked under a NDA and was part of a controlled destructive test.

6). 1 gram of mass = 23,000 Megawatt hours. 1 gram of nickel = 23,000 Megawatt hours.

7). Rossi claims they are close to producing electricity.

8). An independent committee of international professors tested a Hot Cat in March for 120 straight hours and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

9). Research is primarily in Italy, but with a concentration of operations in the U.S. (Florida). Sweden is in the process of developing manufacturing capabilities as well.

10). There are 106 modules in one 1 Megawatt plant.

Read notes here and here from the interviewers.

Another Look at the Hot Cat

Posted on May 5, 2013 by admin

Daniele Passerini has posted another candid pic of Andrea Rossi’s “Hot” Cat on his blog. Passerini claims this photograph was taken sometime last year in 2012 and features the red hot device being pushed to its upper limits.

We have also been treated to pictures of the shipping and testing of the 1 MW Ecat plant from Rossi’s Journal of Nuclear Physics. The pictures were taken on April 30 – May 01 when the unit was purportedly transported from Bologna to Ferrara, Italy. Andrea Rossi has stated that this unit has been purchased by an American customer.

While LENR news has been generally slow this month, Andrea Rossi granted the following interview to the Tom and Doug Show. Watch the full clip for the “unofficial” Ecat song.

Rossi Updates eCat Testing

Posted on April 2, 2013 by admin

Andrea Rossi released a flurry of tantalizing messages last week, reporting a third party independent test of the eCat has concluded and the results will be available by the “middle of April.”

“I met with the 11 professors and experts that made the tests and they were very positive. One of them told me, “We got evidence that the “effect” is real beyond any reasonable doubt.’ …All the professors said the test is gone well, very well….The effect is stunning, we saw in our private tests, and has been replicated by the third independent party.”

Rossi also reported that the industrial 1 megawatt eCat acquired by an unidentified military customer has been available for 90% of the time, or about 8000 hours, with a COP of 6. Rossi reports the home eCat is “years away,” supposedly due to consumer testing and certification requirements.

E-Cat Contracts with US Partner

Posted on December 15, 2012 by admin

Rumblings from the Rossi camp and now a press release from Prometeon SRL, the Italian Licensee of Leonardo Corporation’s E-Cat products, confirm the signing of a contract with a U.S. entity (translated):

A very important agreement concerning the Leonardo Corporation, producer of ‘E-Cat, was signed in October in the wake of the tests on’ Hot Cat made since June in Italy and the United States. A 1 MW thermal which uses the ‘Hot Cat should be in place during 2013 in a plant for the production and distribution of energy or located in the U.S. or in a country in which the counterparty is a signatory to the activities, and will be one of the first non-military applications of this revolutionary technology.

Zurich E-Cat Conference Video

Posted on September 9, 2012 by admin

We are still digesting the information presented at the Zurich E-Cat Conference which concluded today. We’ll leave any conclusions up to the masses as you can now view the “Hot Cat” third party test results courtesy of PESN video:

“Many new things are happening day by day by day around this very important work.”

-A. Rossi, September 8, 2012

Zurich E-Cat Conference and Early Tests

Posted on September 9, 2012 by admin

Read the reports here.

“This report comes from two separated tests made on the 16th of July and the 7th of August, made by the Certificator and professors from 2 Universities. We are under NDA with both, but I want to make very clear that this is not a final report, because all the measurements have to be repeated many times before reaching the reliability necessary to a product. Therefore all the measurements have to be repeated many times more. We are on the right way to make a very important product, but much R&D work has still to be done.”

-Andrea Rossi
