Shepard's are so very smart, I like um too.  We rescued a Peke at 5 months and she is now 7 months and is sooo much better now she is a good companion.

This cold fusion device looks simple to build but a turbo mole vac pump is costly so I am going to keep an eye open for a rebuild-able one. The rest we can fabricate or off the shelf.   It is strangely reminding me of a geet reactor with a bit of loop back thermo to stabilize the reaction.  Ceramic of possibly the cermet type will be a bit more difficult to come by altho not impossible.  H2 will create a 1:1,8XX implode if ignited in a void without oxygen so perhaps a vac pump of a less complicated nature will be sufficient just to make a partial void at first.  I am lucky (blessed)to have a friend with a machine shop who is a real expert at his trade to help.

Hello Hope
I'm not sure of the patent status.  But I've just read through a study on the replication of all this.  The cost of this is 2 million dollars per unit.  That's steep.  I'm not sure that it's justifiable.  So.  Any reverse engineering may be a good thing Richard.  They've tried it with alternate materials but it seems that the magic mix is with hydrogen and nickle.  Cheap and plentiful - but if it's patented then we'll all need to build our own.  And this is not 'tinkering' material - as Iwh has pointed out.  But I intend doing some research here as well.  It's too compelling to ignore.  This is yet another example of how much I wish I had some formal training - and right now I wish it was in chemistry.

Meanwhile - it seems that there are those technologies that could very well compete and do much the same thing.  The attraction of this - to me personally - is that it absolutely does not require a robust switching system which is the only real restriction to getting heavy duty wattages from those technologies that the most of us work with.

So Guys.  That's the downside.  It's probably patented - else they wouldn't be asking so much for a unit.  Meanwhile - just in case this has been missed - here's a study report on the efficacy of the device.  Mixed results - included some controls - and anomalous heating effects related to the 'absorption' of that gas.  Interestingly it does work with deuterium and ? helium ? - I think they mentioned.  May be a way around any patent restrictions.

Kindest regards,
R

@Rosemary:

Here's a link that covers the patent issue concerning Rossi's E-Cat in pretty good detail:

Thanks Chess.   As a rule, when commodities move into competitive production then they get ever cheaper.    And with something as desirable as this then I think that there should be some serious competition. 

One of the editors at our local paper has never even heard of cold fusion.  I think that speaks to his age more than anything else.  He couldn't have been that active in journalism during the 90's else he would surely have noticed something.  It was headline news there - for a while.  I am constantly amazed at how few people out there are even interested in energy.  It's weird.

Hi all.  I've been doing my bit to spread the news.  It's detailed in the following links.

I must be on a good path,  it seems that I am good friends with just the right (retired) gases plant engineer.  He was tops at Union Carbide and lives close here on the island, he can put together one of these test units "with ease".  He is putting together a costings sheet and soon we will have our own proof.   Reheating the element core to self run is not difficult, he understands these diagrams far better than I do.   WOW!  I feel like I am just where I am suppose to be.   When we have a proto and results I will post them.  Of course we can't sell them commerically, but like you said we CAN make our own for private use.  GREEN POWER!   I can't see how E-Cat can ever obtain a pat. unless he makes arrangments with the inventors of the process.  He can however look into his self run process,  but from what my friend says it is used for other proceedures in gases plant already commonly.
