Are excess heat and isotope changes in e-cat LENR reactor real? Part 2
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. Continue reading
Are excess heat and isotope changes in e-cat LENR reactor real? Part 1
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. Continue reading
e-cat – The scientific basis – Why scientists question the e-cat
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. Continue reading
e-cat – the fading dream for free and abundant energy
Lack of independent verification, issues with patents and trademarks, questionable scientific basis - the e-cat dream for free and abundant energy is fading Continue reading
Waiting for the smoking gun in the e-cat
website shutdownrossi.com announced smoking guns to discredit the e-cat as a hoax. Rossi asking 400 tsd USD payment for e-cat order Continue reading

Rossi claims 600 degree e-cat working
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 Continue reading
Is the Rossi e-cat real ?
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. Continue reading
What is going on inside the e-cat machine ?
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. Continue reading
Mr. Rossi´s e-cat patent and black box approach
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. Continue reading
