In this article we express our view on the e-cat device invented by the Italian engineer Andrea Rossi. Many questions of the validity of the claims remain due to lack of independent peer review and technical concerns about the experiments demonstrated so far.
Rossi claims his e-cat device would use a secret catalyser to fuse hydrogen and nickel together to form copper. The excess energy would be released in the form of a gamma ray - Some insights about what could be possibly going on in the e-cat.
We analyzed Mr Rossi´s e-cat patent. We believe the patent lacks sufficient disclosure, is of speculative nature, the secretive black box approach is a risk for disallowance of the patent.
after 23 years of research, there is robust evidence for nuclear fusion reactions initiated at low temperatures. The blog reports on latest development, pros and cons of the this exiting area of research.
Italian inventor Rossi who claims having built a low energy fusion device called E-cat, expects it take upwards of five years for the US patents to be granted.
One year after the Fukushima nuclear disaster
After a series of demonstrations, claims of fraud heating up about the e-cat, claimed to be the ultimate solution of the world´s energy problems.
