Rossi claims 600 degree e-cat working

Italian inventor Andrea Rossi, who claims to solve the world energy problems with the e-cat device based on Nickel-hydrogen LENR, recently reported significant progress on a working e-cat device operating at 600 degrees. Earlier it was reported the e-cat device would become unstable at temperatures above 200 C. If true, this would be very significant. 600 degrees C would take the e-Cat to levels where it could produce superheated steam as used in conventional electrical generation, earlier it was operating at much lower temperatures and discussed as heating device for the market launch in the US. However not surprisingly, at this point in time there is no independent confirmation or diligent third party examination of the claims.

According to an interview, Mr Rossi claims the modified e-cat is supposed to run for 6 months and would consume less Nickel/hydrogen and produce different a ratio of Copper ash.He also claims his team has gained more knowledge about the process and now better understand why previous versions were unstable at higher temperatures.

Blogger websites are traditionally enthusiastic, for example e-catworld, lenr-coldfusion.com, coldfusionblog.net/. Considering the history of Mr Rossi and still unanswered questions of the credibility of the approach, and it remains to be seen what is behind this reported significant progress of technology. One thing is certain, Mr Rossi is a master to keep the story going.
