Steven Krivit, editor of New Energy Times, has released his third report on Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat, and the report is every bit as long as he had claimed. The report is largely critical of the claims made for the energy catalyzer, and of the way Andrea Rossi, Sergio Focardi, and Giuseppe Levi have attempted to establish those claims. Although most of the criticisms have been made elsewhere, Krivit has helpfully (for those critical of […]
Coming soon: Krivit’s third report
After a month of reticence, New Energy Times editor Steven Krivit has broken his silence to announce that his long-awaited third report on Rossi’s E-Cat is coming soon—”within the next few days”. This report is supposed to cover the technical details supporting his reasoning that the E-Cat—the one Rossi demonstrated for him, at any rate—does not produce as much energy as Rossi claims it does. Rossi calculated an energy gain factor of 6 for […]
More Messages through Postcards
There was a lone page of free address stickers to the Senators from California, US and a Humboldt County Representative to Congress that didn’t make it for that wildlife conservation campaign last year…sigh.
Not wanting them to go to waste, I printed up some postcards supporting LENR research, and dropped the sticker address on them.
Why send one letter with lots of signatures when you can send multiple post cards each with a signature […]
A few Comments on Language and Early Inquiries into Matter
Cold fusion deals with elements, isotopes and energy. In other words, it deals with matter and energy, which after all is also a form of matter by E=MC^2. Before thinking of the matter of things, we humans thought just about things. Looking at things, particularly how they are used differently or have different cultural meanings, it is not clear that there is a commonality between, say a rock, a knife, a banner, a pen […]
Roy Virgilio releases more details on Piantelli’s research
In the wake of Saturday’s cold fusion conference in Viareggio, Italy, Roy Virgilio has released more details on the Piantelli group’s research on the Italian renewable energy forum EnergeticAmbiente. Virgilio is an administrator on the forum with the username eroyka. Akira Shirakawa has provided an English translation on the Vortex mailing list here and here. To summarize:
Experiments are being performed in a lab near Siena, Italy.
Older units worked continuously for months and produced 2× […]
Viareggio Cold Fusion conference: science, politics, and an Italian competitor
A conference titled “Has cold fusion become a reality?” was held at 4:00 PM July 23 at Villa Borbone in Viareggio, Italy. The conference was hosted by Italian solar energy company Delta Energie. Among the participants were Andrea Rossi via Skype; his research partner, retired University of Bologna physicist Sergio Focardi, via a pre-recorded presentation; Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare physicist and cold fusion researcher Francesco Celani; astrophysicist and futurologist Mario Menichella; renewable energy […]
Jake Fusion for the Future
Introducing “JAKE FUSION”
Jake is one of the first round of newborn’s who enter a world where fossil fuels have peaked, and Cold Fusion technology is right now on the brink of potentially becoming a liveable reality.
Jake will be entering unprecedented territory. A world completely different than those around him grew up in.
Sometimes a photo can evoke some deep curiosity on what the future will hold for those just making their grand entrance.
The general scenario […]
Cold fusion, confusion and the mad left.
Ian McGilchrist explains in his book The Master and his Emissary that brain studies have shown that the Left brain is responsible for creating models of reality. This is a vital task that the Emissary has to undertake for the Master, the Right Hemisphere.
It seems odd to talk of my Left Hemisphere as “it” when it is more accurate to say “my other half.”
It is a feature of the Left hemisphere that it […]
