1. Zawodny has explained that he didn't mean what is being claimed he meant in his video. Why hasn't anyone quoted or linked to his explanation?

2. The steam shown to rise from Rossi's ecats has been shown to be ...er... inadequate to his claims, several times, for several videos. The Krivit video is only the most damning because it's had the most analysis. I even addressed the issue in a couple of light-hearted but serious videos, SIX months ago. Just put "ekitty tinselkoala" into the YT search window.

3. Anyone seeking to calculate needs to understand the characteristics of the water pump Rossi uses. The manual for this line of pumps is available on-line. It's being called a peristaltic pump but it isn't really. It may produce different flow rates with and without backpressure, regardless of its dial setting, but its maximum flow rate is determined by two settings: stroke volume and stroke frequency. You can hear the stroke frequency in the video and you can get the range of stroke volume from the pump specs. Rossi's pump is NOT pumping 7 liters per hour in the demos, regardless of what it may have pumped before into a bucket.

4. Is it October yet? No free energy device is on any market that I can find. If anyone can confirm that Rossi has actually completed a sale to a customer, please post your confirming information here.


Now... carry on.

@Tinselkoala: good to see some good old fashioned criticism.
Maybe the positive news was becoming too dominant.

B.t.w Rossi makes good progress with his EU Patent Application EP2259998, while Piantelli has paid for renewal of his patent (EP2368252) on Nov 23rd 2011.

I wonder why....(not:)

@Tinu

Wow man how to bring someone down. I should have noted the big problem was not the visibility of the steam but the quantity.
The flow rate seems far far too low.

In which case it appears. that I jumped the gun giving support. In my opinion you do not 'fake it' Not even once. it brings everything you do into doubt. he should have stopped the interview at that time and said something is wrong. rectified the issue and then pressed on with the interview.

Thanks Tinu for pointing out the now obvious blunder I made and better than that being able to show the expected flow rates.

Don't even get on this issue of steam. I was boiling sweet corn in the Turkey cooker this summer as I usually do, but this time it was right after I read about the Rossi steam issue. So I can tell you that inside the kettle the water was rapidly boiling and the propane burner sounded like a rocket engine possibly 30-40 times more gas than a stove, and with the cover sitting on top, you could barely see any steam. Sometimes none at all and sometimes small puffs, but removing the lid, you would almost burn your arm and the steam was gushing out.

You cannot evaluate anything from looking at the steam!

@Everyone:
I will be posting highlights from Andrea Ross's most recent interview on 1-15-2012.  The following is Rossi's basic overview of the operation of his smaller home units in operation:

"In any case, the kind of module of an E-Cat is made by a small emp... a small box as big as a box of cigarettes to give an idea. Inside which there is a powder of nickel, and is compressed hydrogen. Inside this.. and there are also the catalyzers from which the name E-Cat, which is a shortcut for Energy Catalyzer, the differentials of pressure and temperature properly handled produce an effect that emits a low energy gamma rays. The gamma rays then hit the wall of lead, and the lead turns the gamma rays, the low energy gamma rays, into heat. The heat then heats the water that flows outside the reactor, and this is why heating is produced."

Rossi commenting on the theory behind the E-Cat:

"To produce a megawatt power of energy, we employ a very, very very tiny amount of hydrogen and nickel. And this effect has now been understood very well. And the theory will be presented soon. And this way, we can produce energy without emission of any kind of gas, without as you correctly said production of any kind of waste, without of course using radioactive materials, without leaving radioactive materials. Without emission of CO2, or noise, or anything else. So it is environmentally friendly."

Rossi explains what happens in the case of a meltdown in the reactor:

"Since the materials that we use are nickel and hydrogen, should the temperature go too high, at that point the nickel which is just nickel, like the nickel of the five cent, five cents of dollar, that is a nickel too. And the nickel when it melts is no more powder. Then the E-Cat cannot work if the nickel is not powder. So automatically intrinsically we say, if the temperature goes too high, the E-Cat turns out. It is switched off, because has no more proper nickel in powder form to operate."

There's much more to come and I will be posting this information in bite size segments as to not overwhelm the readers.

There's a lot of crow for the naysayers to eat and I fully intend to bring this into their threads when the time is right.  It just wouldn't be fair to let them get away with carelessly trashing Rossi (and his reputation) just because they have nothing to offer. 


It's a great day dawning!  Any more naysayers to add to the list?  Bring it babies!!!  I'll be happy to add you to the list
