Part 2 of the analysis of the e-cat Lugano report, looking deeper into the issue of the isotope changes in nickel and lithium, reaction kinetics and the implications for Industrial Heats´ patent situation.
A group of Swedish and Italian scientists published technical papers that seem to confirm excess heat in a low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device called e-cat. The scientists found in the ash of the spent fuel dramatic isotope changes in nickel (Ni) and lithium (Li) without any harmful radiation. If this finding would be correct - LENR as transmutation of elements without radiation - it would turn our present knowledge of nuclear physics on its head- a scientific sensation.
Climate change due to global warming continues to be a major threat for the world, according to the recently released IPCC report, the leading source for the assessment of climate change. Despite declining rate of temperature increase, the world´s leading climate scientists re-enforce warnings on global warming.
Solar flares hit the Earth
Solar Flares hit the Earth 2013, in its 11 year peak cycle, potentially causing serious damage, as much as 2 trilion USD of damage to the power grid

e-cat - A detailed scientific analysis of the Rossi-Focardi energy catalyser (e-cat), looking at the evidence for excess energy, nuclear reaction products, and the theoretical model.
Lack of independent verification, issues with patents and trademarks, questionable scientific basis - the e-cat dream for free and abundant energy is fading
website shutdownrossi.com announced smoking guns to discredit the e-cat as a hoax. Rossi asking 400 tsd USD payment for e-cat order
MIT professor Peter Hagelstein reportedly keeps running a LENR device since 6 months, and the device energy output is 14
Rossi reports significant progress on a working device operating at 600 degrees. This may take the e-Cat to levels where it could produce superheated steam as used in conventional electrical generation
