Sorry, but the mentioned link works not.

I've heard this story from someone already in the past.

Maciej41 the story is here however.   http://www.infinite-energy.com/iemagazine/issue2/iccf5.html   his devices are mentioned in this long article.triffid




Sapogin [6] described Russian ultrasound cavitation machines that are related to the Griggs (Hydrosonic Pump) device, only they far more efficient. These are designed by a materials scientist, Dr. Yuri S. Potapov, in Kishinev, Moldova. The device inputs 4 kilowatts of electric power into its turbopump, and it outputs 12 kilowatts thermal. So far, Potapov has produced four models, with increasingly better performance. The earliest, least effective model gave excess heat with a C.O.P. ranging from 130 to 150%. Potapov has set up a corporation with four factories, and they have already sold thousands of these units.  I have arranged to purchase some units, which will now be tested here in the United States. Several contacts at well-qualified laboratories have agreed to test them.
The Potapov device may or may not tap the same source of energy as the electrochemical CF cells and the E-Quest device. I have no idea whether it does or not. One startling piece of evidence seems to indicate that it may not. Sapogin reports that the device was run for many months in a closed circuit yet it did not generate any significant level of tritium or other  radiation. (Other possible nuclear ash such as helium-4,has not yet been measured.) Sapogin thinks he can explain this with his “unitary quantum theory” which he published in Il Nuovo Cimento. [7] I am glad it is not my job to explain it! [See also Sapogin’s ICCF5 presentation in this issue of IE.] This baffling result may appear to contradict results from E-Quest, the Naval Weapons Center, and others who have found helium commensurate with a nuclear reaction. Perhaps there are two different, unrelated processes at work, or maybe there really is helium-4 production in Potapov’s devices. From the standpoint of business and technology, it does not matter if there are two processes or two hundred.

I knew that when cold fusion was first announced that it would be denounced.Very shortly it was.I knew it would be so because of the oil companies would want to keep it suppressed.In the long winded article I posted a link to Amoco did their own experiments .Hopeing I guess to find a way to patent it and keep it suppressed.Amoco like BP treats employees as disposibles.They get hurt too bad,whoops accidents happen.11 people lost their lives on that BP rig out in the gulf last year.triffid

DuFour, at Shell Research, [19] made the same improvement as Karabut, with equally good results. He combined several separate calorimeters for different components into one unified flow calorimeter, which accounts for all inputs and output. He continues to detect up to 7 watts of excess heat. It is good to see that the oil companies are seriously pursuing this form of energy.
Another oil company finally came of the woodwork. Amoco reported some old but extremely important early results. Eisner [27], of the University of Houston, described the 1989 experiments that he and Lautzenhiser and Phelps of the Amoco Production Company performed. According to Amoco’s 1989 report [28], the first experiment “yielded a 30% energy gain over the life of the experiment (two months). In June 1989, the experiment was modified and a second run also yielded “about 30% excess energy until the catalyst become waterlogged.” Other successful runs were performed. Their conclusion: “The calorimetry conclusively shows excess energy was produced within the electrolytic cell over the period of the experiment. This amount, 50 kilojoules, is such that any chemical reaction would have been in near molar amounts to have produced the energy. Chemical analysis shows that no such chemical reactions occurred. The tritium results show that some form of nuclear reactions occurred during the experiment.” Amoco has superb closed-cell flow calorimeters, their signal to noise ratio is exceptionally high. They are world class experts in this type of work. They got excess heat far beyond the limits of chemistry and nuclear products in these early experiments. It is a shame they did not talk about it back in 1989, but at least they have set the record straight today. It is not clear to me whether they are still working on cold fusion or not.
As a humorous aside, let me add that when we showed the Amoco results to Morrison at ICCF4 in 1994, after the closing ceremony, he turned pale as a ghost and took off like a shot. This is one of the many nightmare results that “skeptics” wish they could forget, along with KEK, Mitsubishi, NTT, Los Alamos, E-Quest, SRI, Canon, etc., etc.
