Andrea Rossi's eCat Home
electricity production is just around the corner.
One fueling lasts 6 months and it's cheap, very cheap.
| REACTOR CORE -- The reactor core of the home E-Cat unit is
about the size of a cigarette box, and is capable of producing ten
kilowatts of power. The size of the entire unit will be about the same
as a home computer (which I think indicates it is the size of a
desktop.) This is a significant reduction in size from previous figures
provided. This makes a home E-Cat unit very small and compact. He also
claims that the weight has been reduced as well. It was also clarified that each individual home E-Cat system will utilize one reactor core. This is different than what was stated only a couple months ago, which indicates just how rapidly progress is being made. If the reactor core is the size of a single pack of cigarettes (about 85 cubic centimeters) and can produce 10 kilowatts of power, this makes the power density 117 watts per cubic centimeter -- a super high value! SIMPLE REFUELING -- It was revealed home E-Cat units would be capable of being re-fueled by individuals, and not by technicians. He claimed it would be like changing the ink in a pen. After using a cartridge for 180 service days (when the system is actively in use), the system will indicate it needs to be replaced. Once a new cartridge is obtained from his company or a member of their network, the old one will be removed, and the new one popped in. The old cartridge will then be sent to Leonardo Corporation to be recycled. Interestingly, he seemed to indicate that much of the remaining nickel could be salvaged, and it would only need to be re-processed. Each cartridge will cost only about ten dollars, although at first the price could be slightly higher. Once again, he asserted that such small amounts of nickel are used, that there is zero possibility of a shortage due to the proliferation of the E-Cat technology. If the entire world converted all their power producing systems to run off nickel, only 1% of the annual production would be consumed. Though the E-Cat is likely to propagate extensively, we envision many other free energy technologies also emerging, and some of those modalities don't consume any fuel whatsoever, and may be likely to obsolete many of the potential long-term applications of the E-Cat. As cheap and abundant as Nickel is, it isn't infinite, like some other energy sources such as Zero Point Energy. NO HYDROGEN CANISTER -- Unlike previous E-Cat systems which required the use of a hydrogen canister, the new home E-Cat utilizes a material inside of the reactor core which can release and absorb hydrogen. Due to this, no hydrogen canister is needed. I am assuming that the hydrogen release and absorption is controlled via the temperatures produced in the reactor core. Probably when the heat is high the hydrogen is released, and when the temperature goes down the hydrogen is absorbed. Although about ten grams of hydrogen will be placed in the core, only picograms will actually be consumed in the nuclear reactions. The removal of the hydrogen canister will make the certification process simpler, because it had previously been a significant hoop to jump through. Also, I think the lack of hydrogen canister greatly contributes to the size reduction of the system. This is a major breakthrough, and is really, really big news! DIRT CHEAP ENERGY -- The cost of a home E-Cat unit was stated to be between $400 and $500 dollars. This will be accomplished through the best engineering possible of the production line, automization of all aspects of the factory, and the use of robotics. The goal is to make this technology so affordable that everyone will be able to purchase a system, and competitors will not be able to under sell him. Although his technology will obviously be reverse-engineered when the units start to sell, it does not matter because he will have a major head start. SELF SUSTAIN -- The home E-Cat units will be made to self sustain. For the first hour after being turned on, a unit will draw approximately 2.7 to 2.9 kilowatts of power to heat up the reactor core. After that time, the system will self sustain, in that the only power consumed will be used to power the electronics and control systems. The ability of the system to self sustain will not be controlled by the user, but will be totally automated by the control electronics. He compared it to a hybrid electric car in which the computer decides whether the engine runs or if the vehicle runs off the battery, or if the brakes are applied or if the regenerative system is used to slow the vehicle. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS AND STABILITY -- National Instruments (NI) is working with Rossi to design new control systems for the one megawatt and home E-Cat. With these new control systems, the stability of E-Cat units has been improved. The key issue needed to be resolved by the control systems is the ability to keep the reactor stable when steam temperatures above 120C are being produced. During the interview he stated that great progress is being made. On his blog he has indicated that they have been able to achieve stable steam production of 400C. This will be important for the efficient production of electricity. He went on to say that in a meeting with NI's engineers and scientists, they explained to him that they did not want to just design a control system for him, but wanted to teach him how to design one. Their philosophy is not just to give a man a fish, but to teach the man to fish. MILITARY CUSTOMER -- In addition to the help of NI, the Colonel Engineer who controlled the test of the one megawatt plant on Oct. 28th is working with Rossi to improve the control systems of the plant. Currently, the customer and NI are working to improve the control system, and are changing the gaskets in the system to stop leaks from taking place. He mentioned that the military representative he is working with is an expert into thermodynamic systems. The fact that a new control system is being installed is not a bad thing. It is a very good thing. If the customer was not satisfied the E-Cat worked, he would not be helping with the development of a new control system. The fact that the military, NI, other partners that remain undisclosed, and Rossi are all working together on this project shows the significance of the technology -- and its reality! UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES -- Rossi said that they have sent prototypes to UL, and they are working with them to get the home unit certified for "UL approval". This was a major announcement. If they are at this state of development, it means they are very far along. This alone would be worthy of a feature story. As far as we know, this is the first exotic free energy technology that has been submitted for UL approval. You don't submit something to UL until you have a final version. What is submitted to UL is what is taken to market. If any changes are made, they have to once again pass through the UL certification process, which takes several months. CATALYSTS -- In regards to a question about the importance of the catalysts, Rossi stated that the system will not work without them. According to him, no one has been able to make a practical nickel hydrogen system because they did not have the proper catalysts. He did not refute the statement that they are actual physical elements added to the reactor core, in addition to nickel and hydrogen. It needs to be remembered that he has stated over and over again that the catalysts are physical elements, and not a type of process. RADIO FREQUENCY GENERATORS -- In addition to the catalysts, a question was asked about the radio frequency generator that somehow interacts with the reactions inside of the core. Rossi stated this information is very proprietary, but gave a few clues. First, he compared the use of the radio frequencies to martial arts. He claims that the radio frequency generator allows the forces that would normally prevent the fusion process from taking place (Coulomb forces) to work for you, and not against you. The full theory of how the system works will be revealed, "soon," he said. RESPONSE TIME -- Rossi explained that the E-Cat technology does not have the response time of a gas powered heater that can be instantly turned on and off. However, it is perfectly suitable for home heating. Also, I think it should be pointed out that with the E-Cat technology it does not matter a great deal if energy is wasted. For example, the energy is so cheap, there will be no financial reason not to keep it turned on at all times -- even if it can be slow to throttle up and down. If all of the energy did not need to be used, some of the heat could be vented into the atmosphere. It was also discussed that a great application of the E-Cat technology will be to preheat water for power plants. However, there is a lot of legal red-tape here, even if the technology is ready. It can take years for a power plant to obtain the certifications to change their system in any way. SAFETY -- It was once again confirmed the device is totally and completely safe. No radioactive substances are used, and no radioactive waste is produced. Also, no pollution of any kind is emitted from the device. Importantly, it cannot "melt down" like a traditional nuclear reactor. In an E-Cat, if the reactions grow too intense the nickel powder will simply melt (destroying all of the reaction sites) and the nuclear reactions will cease. GAMMA RADIATION AND ANTI-MATTER -- The E-Cat technology produces low energy gamma radiation that is converted into heat inside of the reactor. The signature of the gamma radiation that has been detected is said to be 511 keV at 180 degrees. These gamma rays are thought to be produced when electrons impact positrons and annihilate each other. So, if we understand correctly, Rossi theorizes that inside of the E-Cat there are anti-matter/matter annihilation taking place, releasing energy. However, he stated this is just a side effect of what really takes place, which he has previously indicated is nuclear fusion. INVESTMENT -- Rossi is open to investment by businesses and organizations that want to invest relatively small sums of money. However, he is not interested in families and individuals investing in the technology, because there are too many risks at this time. Although the technology works, they have to get the E-Cat on the market successfully. They have certifications to obtain, a factory to setup, and other issues to deal with. Once the home units are on the market, they will at some point "go public" and individuals will be capable of investing. |
| [Post-Interview Clarification] LICENSING -- In the interview, Rossi said they are considering licensing inquiries. But his response to the inquiries that have come in has been that he will consider these in September. |
After the interview, Gary wrote the following to Rossi:
| Andrea: You were marvelous! Thank you so much for your patience. I think that looking back on it, you will be very pleased with the quality of this interview. I have listened to every interview you have done that I could get my hands on and in my own humble opinion this one is by far the best. You represent yourself as a thoughtful business man who understands the complexity of putting an organization together but with the sort of consideration for those who will be your customers and investors that many of wish was more common these days. Bravo !!! a fine piece of work … |
Due to the interview, I'm more convinced that ever the E-Cat technology is
not only real and works, but is racing towards the market place. With a top
notch team of partners working with him (including the military and National
Instruments) he is pushing to build a manufacturing plant capable of producing
units rapidly, at very low cost.
It seems every aspect of the E-Cat is advancing, and making the most of modern
technology. From using robotics to automate the production lines, to using
modern material science to eliminate the need of a hydrogen canister, to
utilizing the skills of National Instruments to design a state of the art
control system, he is taking nickel-hydrogen fusion technology to the next level
On a final note, I would like to mention how the interview demonstrated the
dedicated and sincere nature of Rossi. He participated in the interview after a
16 hour work day. When the interview started, it was already 11:00PM his time
(in Rome). Despite being tired, he answered question after question.
After the interview was over, Sterling Allan made a comment about Andrea Rossi
to Gary Hendershot that I would like mention. He basically stated that some
people may criticize Rossi for his unorthodox methods, or the fact he does not
go about science the way the "mainstream" scientific community says
someone should. However, the very fact that he does not abide by the exact
methodologies of mainstream, closed minded scientists is why he has been able to
invent the E-Cat technology and take it so far. He never gives up, and he keeps
on going despite what cynics, competitors, and others may say about him.
I think what is more important than the E-Cat technology itself is the fact that
it will expose that the "mainstream" scientific community has no
authority to define science, or who is doing real science. Just because someone
is not doing research in a way that exactly fits academic protocols, does not
mean it is not "science." For example, Nikola Tesla invented many
technologies that we use today, such as the induction motor and alternating
current. However, his methods were not what the mainstream would accept as
"real science."
By the end of this year or early next year ("next Winter") when the
million E-Cat units start to ship, the scientific community will be forced to
admit the greatest discovery of the past several decades was made by someone who
did not abide strictly by their dogma. The official "scientific
method" is a great tool and provides fantastic guidelines, but it can also
limit creativity and slow down progress. Perhaps there are other methods that
are better -- that do not suppress breakthrough technologies like cold fusion
for twenty years.
Lets all thank Andrea Rossi for the work he has done on the E-Cat. The best way
you can help, is by pre-ordering an E-Cat (through the ECat.com
website). Also, spread the word far and wide about the E-Cat technology, even to
your friends who have never heard about cold fusion. We need to spread awareness
of this amazing technology.
Here's a follow-up series of questions (by Hank) and answers (by Rossi)
| Q) Will the home E-Cat unit work with a standard 110 volt connection,
or will it require a 220 volt connection (since during start up a few
kilowatts are needed)? A) 11O VOLTS WILL BE OK IN THE USA. WE WILL BE FIT WITH THE DOMESTIC VOLTAGE OF THE COUNTRY THE E-CAT WILL WORK IN. Q) Since this is a brand new design, will the home E-Cat unit still be capable of being retrofitted to produce electricity, when appropriate electrical generators become available? A) YES Q) Will the home E-Cat unit have any settings other than on and off? A) YES, THE STRICT NECESSARY Q) What is the max temperature output you want the home E-Cat unit to offer? Are you hoping for it to produce 400C, for later retrofitting? A) YES Q) Will the home E-Cat have a primary fluid other than water (for example molten salt), that travels through a heat exchanger? Or will the primary fluid be water? A) WATER FOR HEAT, DIATHERMIC OIL PLUS HEAT EXCHANGER FOR ELECTRIC POWER |

Since the start of 2011, PESN has been covering the emergence, testing, and commercialization of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) technology. As 2012 approaches, it is clear that nickel-hydrogen cold fusion technology is going to change the world, as the production of a million E-Cat home units is planned.

Pure Energy Systems News
As far as I am concerned, the year 2011 proved that we do not only live in
interesting times, but a truly exciting age in which game-changing technological
breakthroughs may allow us to overcome the challenges facing our civilization. A
number of technologies made this year exciting, but some stand out more than
others.
A prime example of a radical breakthrough that has emerged this year is Andrea
Rossi's E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer)
technology. The characteristics of the technology are so phenomenal they could
be considered almost too good to be true by some people who are not familiar
with all the evidence in support of it. In short, by exposing nickel powder to
pressurized hydrogen gas, along with a proprietary catalyst, cold fusion nuclear
processes are induced, and a huge output of energy is released in the form of
heat. Unlike conventional nuclear power, no radioactive materials are used, and
no radioactive waste is produced in the process. The heat can then be used
directly, or converted into electricity via a number of different methods.
To expand on the benefits of the E-Cat technology a bit further, it also emits
no pollution into the environment, consumes only tiny amounts of cheap fuel
(nickel powder and hydrogen gas), and has a huge power density. For example, in
one test a reactor core with a volume of one liter produced a constant 130
kilowatts for a period of time. Andrea Rossi has also stated on his blog (The
Journal of Nuclear Physics) that one previous model of E-Cat could produce a
safe maximum output of 10 kilowatts from a reactor core only fifty centimeters
in volume. In reality, the only limit to the output of the E-Cat is the melting
temperature of the nickel powder (which is around 1600C). If the nickel starts
to melt, the reaction sites where the energy producing processes take place are
destroyed, and the nuclear reactions cease. Even only a few minutes later, an
individual could open the reactor and detect no radioactivity. Actually, this
aspect of the technology serves as a fundamental safety mechanism, because it
prevents any type of conventional nuclear run away effect from taking place.
Simply put, the technology cannot be weaponized to make nuclear bombs.
Nearly every aspect of the E-Cat technology makes it the "Holy Grail"
of what cold fusion researchers have been seeking ever since Pons and
Fleischmann revealed their technology to the world in 1989 and were quickly
attacked by the mainstream academic world. Some of the earliest,
precedent-setting attacks against them are described in our recent PESN article,
"The
History of MIT's Blatant Suppression of Cold Fusion." However, it
is important to distinguish the E-Cat technology that is now in the market
place, to the far less developed technology that Pons and Fleischmann announced
to the world.
The most obvious difference is that the E-Cat technology produces, at a minimum,
kilowatts of power. This is a thousand times greater than the few watts (or
less) Pons and Fleischmann's system produced. In my view, the two technologies
are as different as low grade heavy crude oil, and ultra refined jet fuel.
Another difference is the fact that Pons and Fleischmann used precious
(expensive) metals and expensive "heavy" hydrogen gas in their
reactor. Instead, Rossi uses cheap nickel, a cheap catalyst (that only adds 10%
to the cost of the nickel), and ordinary "light" hydrogen gas. This
difference is critical, because it makes the E-Cat technology not only powerful,
but very economical.
Over the years, there have been many cold fusion (sometimes called LENR) systems
experimented with, and there have been thousands of successful tests. But none
of these other systems comes close to having all the characteristics of the
E-Cat technology, such as....
 | Massive power production in the kilowatt range, sometimes into the hundreds of kilowatts from very small reactor cores. |
| The use of the cheap and abundant metal nickel, instead of expensive precious metals such as palladium, platinum, etc. |
| The use of light hydrogen instead of heavy hydrogen (deuterium) that is much more expensive and less common. |
| The lack of any radioactive elements being used. |
| The lack of any nuclear waste being produced (some other cold fusion systems produce tritium). |
| The minimal amount of radiation produced while the system is turned on, that can be blocked by a few millimeters of shielding. |
If the hot fusion scientists at MIT were terrified of Pons and Fleischmann's
primitive cold fusion technology over twenty years ago, they would have had a
heart attack over Andrea Rossi's technology. Introducing the E-Cat to the world
back then would have been the equivalent of dropping a modern cell phone in the
hands of Alexander Graham Bell.
The Proven Reality of E-Cat Technology
When the E-Cat technology first emerged back in January of this year, there were
those who wanted additional proof the technology worked as claimed. As the year
went on, they received an abundance of evidence from a long series of tests
performed by engineers and scientists. These professionals from a number of
different universities tested the E-Cat repeatedly, well over a dozen times.
Many different types of tests of E-Cat modules were performed as well. For
example, in some of the tests, the heat produced by the system was used to
transform (phase change) liquid water into a gas (steam). By calculating how
much water was transformed into steam, the power output could be determined. The
result of these tests were huge gains of energy. In addition, other tests were
performed in which the temperature of inlet water was compared to the
temperature of outlet water, to determine the amount of power produced. These
tests also confirmed that kilowatts of excess power were emitted from the
system.
Not only were different types of tests performed throughout 2011, but also there
were tests of different sizes/shapes of reactor cores. The first systems tested
had reactor cores that were cylinder shaped, with a volume of about one liter.
Later on in the year, another model of reactor core was introduced. It was
cylinder shaped, but much smaller -- with a volume of only 50 cubic centimeters
(about the size of a D-Cell battery). Although it was smaller, its potential
power density did not decrease -- its rated output was 2.5 kilowatts, and its
maximum safe output was 10 kilowatts. Finally, near the end of the year, Andrea
Rossi revealed another reactor core that was of a different shape and volume.
This new "flat" reactor core assembly is reported as being
approximately 20 x 20 x 20 x 1 centimeters, and is said to house three separate
compartments where individual cores can be inserted or removed. Tests of all
three of these systems have been performed, and clearly showed massive amounts
of excess energy -- that could only be produced via nuclear phenomena.
Perhaps most impressively, the E-Cat technology is capable of operating in a
"self sustaining" mode, in which very little or no power is required
to be fed into the system. Perhaps the most impressive test of a self sustaining
system was the Oct. 28th test of the first one megawatt E-Cat plant. At a
certain point during the test, the input power was cut off. However, the output
of the system remained stable and continued for over five and a half hours --
producing huge amounts of dry steam (nearly half a megawatt on average). Such a
result would be absolutely impossible, if there were not cold fusion style
nuclear reactions taking place in the system. No hidden fuel source or battery
could have stored that much power. Also, the modules that composed the plant did
not have the mass or "specific heat capacity" to store up enough heat
(before the power was cut off) to allow for a thermal flywheel effect to be an
explanation of how almost half a megawatt of power was produced for five and a
half hours!
It's true that most of these tests may not have been performed with the extreme
rigor a hardcore academic researcher would prefer. But bear in mind that such
testing often entails many months or even years. The pending Bologna and Uppsala
University tests are scheduled to run for two years. The academic world took 4
years to finally admit that they were wrong about human flight, even as the
Wright Brothers and others were giving numerous flying demonstrations. An
academic stamp of approval should not be what you wait for before being
convinced if you wish to be an early adopter. There could be millions of units
sold before that happens.
Although the myriad of tests performed over the past year have provided ample
proof that the E-Cat technology is an absolutely real and valid technology,
there is additional evidence that has emerged as well. Perhaps some of this
additional evidence could be considered circumstantial or not purely derived via
scientific experimentation, but I think it is worth mentioning.
| The customer (an undisclosed branch of the US Military) that purchased the one megawatt plant is so satisfied with it, they have ordered a total of thirteen plants! At a price of $2,600,000 per one megawatt plant, this order comes up to almost 34 million dollars. No customer who was not convinced of the technology would make that large of an investment. |
| The customer has not only ordered the plants, but is working with Andrea Rossi to further develop the technology. One big development is that Rossi is now able to produce steam at a temperature of 400C, in a stable manner. This will allow for the technology to be used to produce electricity in an efficient manner. If they were not convinced the technology worked, why would they bother helping Rossi further develop it? |
| National Instruments, one of the most prestigious electronics companies on the planet, has joined with Rossi to totally redesign his electronics and control mechanisms. It's true that they will accept pretty much any customer, being a professional service, but their confirmed involvement illustrates how serious Rossi is in wanting to present a quality product. |
| Many competitors are emerging who want a piece of the action in the market for cold fusion devices. Many of these companies can be read about here at PESN. None of them have publicly demonstrated a power output anywhere close to the E-Cat (much less a dozen or more of them over the course of a year). All these companies emerging at the same time, claiming to have Ni-H systems, would indicate that Rossi must have something. |
| Some mainstream scientists have spoken up and claimed that Rossi's technology obviously works, such as Dennis Bushnell, a Chief NASA scientist (EVWorld). He claims that cold fusion has the most potential of any alternative energy technology on the planet. This is in addition to all the physicists, engineers, and university professors who have successfully tested Andrea Rossi's devices in person. Another distinguished scientist who has spoken favorably about the E-Cat is Nobel Prize Laureate Brian Josephson. He went so far as to publish a YouTube video criticizing the silence of the mainstream media in regards to the E-Cat, and presented a FAQ about the technology, as we reported last June. |
| Rossi has obtained another customer in the US North East (near Massachusetts) that is not secretive. They will allow for their identity to be revealed, and qualified experts will be allowed to examine their E-Cat plant as it constantly produces excess energy. Instead of a one day test, the operation of this planet will be a continual test spanning weeks, months, or years. |
The apparent conclusion is that the E-Cat technology works as claimed. The
evidence both experimentally obtained and circumstantial is strongly
affirmative. Those remaining cynics who claim the E-Cat technology does not work
need to remember their words will be recorded for all of history. Just like the
short sighted cynics who denied human flight was possible months after the
Wright Brothers had been flying in the sky, their pseudo-skeptical remarks will
forever be seen as evidence of their pathological skepticism -- a mental
disorder born of cultural brainwashing, not scientific inclination.
What Will We See In 2012?
Andrea Rossi is making tremendous progress developing the E-Cat technology.
There seem to be two main challenges at this time that are related to each
other. The first is maintaining a stable production of high temperature steam.
Great progress has been made in meeting this challenge, as announced recently by
Rossi that they have achieved a constant production of steam at 400C. The key to
this breakthrough was the use of a primary circuit fluid that had a boiling
temperature higher than water. If production of 400C steam was accomplished in a
matter of months, I think by the end of 2012 even higher temperatures will be
obtained.
The second challenge is to combine E-Cat units with appropriate electrical
generation systems. One obstacle had been the lack of systems that could produce
electricity efficiently from low temperature steam (100C) or hot water (under
100C). The ability to produce steam at 400C allows for many additional systems
to be considered. Traditional turbines could be utilized, or potentially even
more exotic systems -- if the efficiency is high enough.
One advantage of the E-Cat technology is that the energy is very, very cheap.
This is because the fuel cost is near zero. Only several grams of nickel and a
tiny amount of hydrogen can power a ten kilowatt capacity E-Cat for six months
or longer! Therefore, if the heat to electricity conversion efficiency is not
extremely high, it does not matter as much as if large amounts of fossil fuels
were being consumed.
In the past several days Rossi has made a few remarkable comments on his blog,
discussing his plans for 2012. The following is an announcement he shared with
PESN.
|
| WE ARE PREPARING THE PRODUCTION OF 1 MILLION E-CATS TO REACH A VERY LOW PRICE, TO MAKE IT AT HAND FOR EVERYBODY; THIS WILL ALSO PUT AN END TO THE WANNABE COMPETITORS WHO WILL BE ABLE TO BUY AND COPY AN E-CAT, BUT WILL NEVER HAVE THE STRENGTH TO MAKE SIMILAR PRICES. THIS IS THE STRATEGY I DECIDED IN THESE DAYS WITH OUR PARTNERS |
This is fantastic news. Even better, he states on his blog that the plan is
for these units to be made available in 2012! Although the first units will only
produce heat, they will be capable of being retrofitted to produce electricity
when the appropriate electrical generating components are available.
These units -- especially once they are combined with the equipment needed to
produce electricity -- will make all conventional sources of alternative energy
redundant. Because the E-Cat technology can operate 24 hours a day regardless of
weather conditions, solar and wind power systems will seem much less appealing.
As the price of E-Cat units goes down, the only competing technologies will be
those that are truly exotic, such as those we cover on PESN. Unless a technology
extracts energy from a seemingly "free" source, it will not even be
able to try and compete with cold fusion.
It seems pretty obvious to me that if Rossi successfully produces one million
E-Cats (which I have no doubt he will do), and is able to put them on the
market, 2012 will be the year of the E-Cat. I expect the E-Cat and cold fusion
to be the topic of news programs, political debates, and on the front page of
every mainstream website.
To be blunt, cold fusion is like a "new fire" (as Rossi calls it) that
produces heat, but consumes little fuel, and produces no smoke. It is going to
become the most significant development of 2012.
It's going to create a BIG buzz. We just have to wait for a critical mass to be
reached.
What Does This All Mean?
In the not too distant future, everyone who wants one (along with the cash to
make the purchase) could have an E-Cat device not only producing hot water, but
also producing electricity to power their homes. This would decentralize the
power grid, reduce the cost of energy dramatically, reduce pollution, and
benefit the world in many ways.
The implications of cold fusion technology will change the world. Instead of
being destined to destroy the planet, humans will have a tool allowing them to
desalinize ocean water instead of draining aquifers, turn deserts into farmland,
reduce CO2 emissions, eliminate smog that creates health problems, and perhaps
even colonize the solar system.
There are also economic implications to this technology. The introduction of the
E-Cat will create millions of jobs. For example, factory workers will be needed
to build E-Cats, there will be a need for technicians to service E-Cats, and
whole new industries will spring up due to the technology. Industries such as
recycling plants that once were hindered by high energy costs, could become
economically viable, expand, and prosper. All of our landfills could be mined,
and all the plastics, metals, and glass could be recycled.
The technology could allow for a more free society in which people can live off
the grid, without big government telling them how to live. This technology could
take power from oppressive governments and big brother, and give it back to the
people.
A few years from now, oil may be down to $20 dollars a barrel, the global
economy restored, and our planet a cleaner place.
Also, there could be all sorts of unforeseen benefits of the E-Cat technology we
cannot yet fathom.
Almost as important as the direct benefits, billions of minds will be opened to
the fact that mainstream science does not know everything. The suppression of
cold fusion research for the last twenty plus years will be exposed, and the
world will realize that anything is possible, and nothing is impossible. Perhaps
the next big breakthrough will be gravity control or a faster than light drive?
I think the E-Cat technology is going to make 2012 a very exciting year. Due to
the E-Cat technology, it will be a year of hope for a better future -- clearing
the way for a stronger economy, less pollution, and more solutions to the
problems we face as a civilization.
I'm honored to have been able to report about the technology for the past year,
and hope to be able to continue reporting about it in the future. I would like
to thank Sterling Allan for the opportunity he has given me in the past year to
write about the E-Cat. Also, I would like to thank Andrea Rossi for sacrificing
his businesses, his home, and years of his life developing this technology. The
world owes him a big thank you for the many benefits his technology is going to
provide our planet.
