Possibly The Most Important Science Breakthrough Happened Today

[lukep]

Forbes had some nice words to say about it!

I want to say "In b4 big oil does this or that," -But the thing is, he's already SOLD one... And the Italian government is honoring his patent request. (The rest of the world is not so that leads me to believe that Italy may not be under any pressure somehow...)

Anyway, these things are being produced and energy is flowing so assassinating him now is probably out... Depends on how he set up his shop. Discrediting him is all they can do but even that can't work if these things keep working...

This is all new to me, but the wikipee page shows a long history on E-cat. If this customer yesterday who bought one remains happy he'll be selling more and more until there is just no shutting this thing up.

There are rumors going around that the big buyer is the US military.

I don't think they would be allowing him to do public demonstrations. The military tends to keep much less amazing technology and equipment classified for years.

an AP reporter will be publishing an article on this latest experiment in a few days.

Looking forward to that... But won't be surprised one bit if the mainstream networks don't mention it at all when they do appear...

There are rumors going around that the big buyer is the US military.

I'm with Moxie on this part; there's no way in hell the military would do it that way; a missile from a drone to their factory is the more likely outcome of their attention.

What these guys need now is a buyer who isn't afraid to show his face and go on the record with their testimonial. -You know, someone with God's very own balls.

"Possibly The Most Important Science Breakthrough Happened Today"

My landers are made for you.

I hope you're talking about the likelihood, and not the significance of this 'breakthrough,' Uptime.

The importance of this possible breakthrough should not be in any question... The changes it would make are literally inconceivable to our society. It would be at least as significant as the invention of electricity itself.

The way the forbes writer put it, this would make electricity so inexpensive that there would no longer be a point in metering it!

On the big scale that means big oil is now out of a job and all fuel-run goods and vehicles would be replaced very quickly to take advantage of this "new" fuel source.

Less fortunate countries now would quickly get fully wired up whereas they aren't now since no rural peeps in them can afford the power bill... and that means more education, more trade, more people selling in the BST section, the whole 9 yards.

On the small scale, you and I would never need to worry again about how we run lamps or the AC in our households... Even going so far as to buying more energy-guzzling electronics that we find impractical today...

Bitcoin miners wouldn't give a shit about the cost of power anymore so it would certainly help them out quite a bit... all kinds of shit like that would happen. It would be such a dramatic change that ten years later we'll still be reeling from how different society is and finding new ways to take advantage of it.

I do foresee this replacing a bunch more jobs though... So another half of the world's workforce wiped out or migrated online. Libtards shouldn't welcome this change at all, but of course they probably will since it feels like they're being given free stuff.

The Consequences would never be the same....

 

[Uptime]

. . . . I hope you're talking about the likelihood, and not the significance of this 'breakthrough,' Uptime.

Correct. From my pov there is a lack of evidence at this time for the celebration of E-Cat. It all sounds quite familiar. The frequency of these once in a life time breakthroughs has me jaded by now. Link-bait springs to mind.

When the eventual energy breakthrough does happen there can be no argument of the planetary scale of importance it will have.

I hope E-Cat or similar end result does succeed. Either way we have to get off of oil NOW. Not when it is convenient or cheap but fucking NOW. Our continued energy dependence makes us weak and is a pussy move to wait until the magic saves us. (e-cat pussy pun)

This planet needs it's balls back.

Probably the biggest opening for skeptics will be the continually running genset that is probably rated for 500 kW (my guess), and appears to have been connected by cables to the E-Cat. "Where's the mystery?" So knock yourselves out, skeptics. It's the customer who has to be happy, and apparently this one was satisfied that those cables were not contributing to the 470 kW output during self-sustaining mode.

Ahem.

This actually has a lot of promise. Let's look at what we know:

Here is a Wired Magazine Article BEFORE the experiment:

Cold Fusion: Future of physics or phoney? (Wired UK)

Here is part of the original Q & A that Rossi gave.

Andrea Rossi says: "Yes It's a Breakthrough". E-Cat 1 MW Unit Test, October 28, 2011 - YouTube

http://www.ecatnews.net/2011/10/28/e...i-via-twitter/

Sooooo, the guy mortgaged and sold EVERYTHING he owned to make the happen. An undisclosed U.S. company has said they will pay him 'x' amount of $$ IF he can prove that his science works.

Why undisclosed? Because nobody knows if Rossi is a fraud or not and they don't want to be 'officially' associated with pseudo science. Which makes a lot of sense. However, they are also willing to take a 'chance'.

According to the Q & A the experiment was a success and the buyer was satisfied. They are now going over all of the data that came out of this experiment.

Rossi ONLY gets paid if he proves a working device to the 'unnamed' U.S. company representatives and scientists.

Now, this COULD spark the U.S./world economy as seen in the 70's/80's with microprocessors. Or if he's a fraud - 'NOT'...

 

[JoseArmando]

This will be proven as a hoax as it was already countless times in the past with different projects.

 

[liesnillusions]

You think oil companies will allow shit like this to take off? Keep dreaming.

Yeah not just oil companies either, electric companies as well.

Don't you people know of Nikola Tesla? He had proven technology to give energy to the entire planet, and he wanted to do it for free. This was accomplished centuries ago by that genius and no one even knows about it.

I sincerely doubt this will have any chance.

:boid: FUCK YOU EDISON YOU BASTARD.


this post is dedicated to Nikola Tesla

I have been hearing about this since university and I know that people over in the Baltic states of eastern Europe are extreamly proud of Tesla and bring his legacy up every time they get a chance...

But It's really hard to believe that he found a way to provide ENOUGH energy to give it away to everyone freely.

There is a huge difference between giving away 1 MW away freely (Which back then was likely a huge amount but today really could only power a single household) and giving away many Terrawatts that the world consumes these days constantly.

I'm sure Tesla was smarter than Edison about science (certainly not marketing and business) but Edison didn't even come close to inventing a system that could generate many Megawatts of electricity.

What you're basically suggesting is that Tesla found a way to do something back in the latter 1800s to do what we can't even do today, as if he were from the future... And if he were from the future I'd bet he wouldn't have died in debt...

Cold Fusion in Bologna? Yes that's Bologna

Luke, 1MW is a lot of juice, more than the vast majority of houses use. For reference, most desktop computers use a thousandth of that or less.

This is totally legit because there's never been thousands of patents granted to totally bogus inventions. Also if you believe hard enough and clap for Tinkerbell you can just ignore the first law of thermodynamics.

apparantly there are other methods were you can power up a motor and then the rotating action is converted into electricity using turbines, it can produce more power than it uses, thereby creating an infinite power source.

You put some of the energy back in, and consume the excess.

You have to realise that power plants and oil companies are big business, it's in their vested interest to clamp down and limit progress in the field of renewable energy in order to sell more stuff. Just like they way the restrict supply so they can jack up oil prices.

Over-unity machines are impossible for simple reasons like air resistance and friction.

However, if they were to draw energy from higher spacial dimensions or something. But then they wouldn't be over-unity machines.

 

[papajohn56]

Turbines are loud and get really hot. This should be enough of an explanation as to why anyone who thinks production of more power than it uses is impossible.
