Are excess heat and isotope changes in e-cat LENR reactor real? Part 1

Published 30/10/2014 | By Christian Schumacher

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.

Is the Rossi e-cat real ?

Published 06/04/2012 | By Christian Schumacher

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.

Mr. Rossi´s e-cat patent and black box approach

Published 22/03/2012 | By Christian Schumacher

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.
