Possibly The Most Important Science Breakthrough Happened Today



"A. Total scam, not too surprising given his background. or"

Important details plox
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Rossi_(entrepreneur)
In 1978, he wrote The Incineration of Waste and River Purification, published in Milan by Tecniche Nuove. He then founded Petroldragon, a company for developing oil from waste, which collapsed in the 1990s amidst allegations of dumping toxic waste.

News of the Rossi procedure, patented in Italy, was reported by major newspapers. Jimmy Carter showed his interest in the technology, and offered Rossi a permanent entry visa to the United States. After ten months’ work and a financial investment of half a billion Lire, Petroldragon had a facility that produced twenty tons of fuel oil a day, transforming one hundred tons of organic waste.

In the early 1990s the company was disbanded following accusations of dumping environmental toxins, as well as tax fraud. Its assets were seized, together with Rossi's personal assets, and Andrea Rossi was arrested and imprisoned. Subsequently released, Rossi emigrated to the United States, and went on to found Leonardo Technology Incorporated. More than 10 years after his imprisonment, Rossi was acquitted. The government of the Lombardia region spent over forty million euros to dispose of the 70,000 tonnes of toxic waste that Petrol Dragon was storing on site.
So he screwed up on that one, but since he's been acquitted it's hard to say how much was his fault. -Otherwise he's got a pretty clean record.

...I am trying to remain neutral on the topic so I dont sound like some crazy fanboy (lukep).
GTFO!

You are officially banned from reading my thread, smartass! :321:

Seriously, I've been a pretty fair reporter here, haven't I? Always allowing for the fact that this could all be a hoax at the very least...

Nah I really appreciate you keeping us up to date on what could possibly be the biggest breakthrough in our lifetime. Just had to fuck with you a little.
 
Another Update:

Rossi is saying he's in talks with Home Depot for Home-unit distribution in AUGUST OF THIS YEAR for ~$1,500 US. They will also be produced in the USA totally, "Creating many jobs here."

Podcast interview with Rossi himself saying so:

http://www.coldfusionnow.org/audio/2011-12-29-Andrea-Rossi.mp3

Summary article breaking this news:

Home Depot eCat $1.5K? |

One thing I didn't enjoy hearing in that podcast is how Rossi sounds waaaaay to naive about how the power companies will respond. The interviewer told him point blank that he's going to cost the power companies "lots of revenue" and asked how he will respond... Rossi sounded a little surprised and said 'I don't think we will cost them much, our power and theirs will work in concert...'

I understand that he doesn't want to talk about any negative ramifications of his product during early launch stages and all, but that sounds so naive I really do have to worry for the man's sanity.

So again, it's either:

A. Total scam, not too surprising given his background. or
B. The second coming of Tesla.

If Rossi is Tesla reincarnate, this time they won't take it so easy on him...

Can't wait till this crank is shown up for what he is (again...).
 
im still keeping an open mind, either tesla is the real shit or hes trolling with a massive bait and switch scam secretly powering his generators using the mains and pretending that it's unplugged

That's where my mind was back at the beginning of all this, but it's really hard to see how that could be the case when the Chief Scientist for NASA Langley says that 'it's real & it works.'

You can't just get the Chief Scientist @ Langley to say this kind of thing for you... Not even with a bribe. How big of a bribe is worth losing that entire career?

No, there is clearly some kind of LENR reaction that isn't chemical, so in my mind the whole issue now is one of production value, not merely "if" it's a scam.

Sadly, Rossi seems unaware of how corporations do big business on this planet so we also have to consider that a smear job of some kind might happen to it to.

Where did the 'Chief Scientist @ Langley' say this, and who is he? Is there a video, or atleast a government website with the document?

edit: most of these lenr/ecat sites ive seen are a few steps better than MFA's. I don't really trust any of the content on them.. I was able to find some slides about a palladium\dueritium LENR reactor on nasa's site, but thats about it. Nothing about nickel/hydrogen.

Here's a podcast with him (Dennis Bushnell) from evworld:

http://www.evworld.com/evworld_audio/dennis_bushnell_part1.mp3

I hate podcasts but I weeded through this shit for you guys because it's just too important.

He gives his credentials before this, but you can start listening at 4:30 when he starts talking about LENR, which he says is the most promising future energy tech, that is "Beta Decay without radiation," but is a "farther term, but not that far" technology.

Then he talks about other techs for a long time, and gets back to LENR, it's history, and how it works starting at: 8:20. (@10:40 he specifically lauds Rossi's experiment!)

Do you guys think this podcast is a fake? If not, then there is definitely something real about LENR. (Not cold fusion. Listen to podcast to learn the difference.)

Bushnell even goes on to say at 13:25 that his team at Nasa compared using a LENR-powered rocket to a conventional, Nuke-Fission-powered rocket, and the LENR ROCKET HAS BETTER PERFORMANCE!

That's some serious research... Nothing unimportant about that.

About palladium\dueritium, Bushnell said on the podcast somewhere that there are many elements you can use to make the reaction, and he said that Nickel is one of them... His team tried palladium & dueritium tho because they thought it might work better.

Basically it comes down to "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" and I have neither seen or heard of any such proof.

Your assertion that either the podcast is fake, or LENR is real is a false dichotomy (though either of those assertions is possible), there are plenty of other explanations.

True enough.

But if we take for granted the podcast being real and the likely fact that Bushnell is not trying to sabotage Nasa (which we know he works for and we know he's done LENR experiments for) then according to what he says in the podcast, at the very least, LENR technology has the near-future potential to give us more efficient, cheaper power than even Nuclear Fission.

That's at the very least. So what's to really be doubtful about then? Just that Rossi is lying about his findings despite them being a bark up the right tree?

Talk about a longshot...
 
im pretty sure when the first electrcal circuit was produced nobody could get their heads around it, nor proove it until centruies later.. Becayse it was completely different to what was used before.

you want light? use a candle or kerosine lamp and put a match to it.

you want movement? heat water an create an expanding gas to create pressure and move the engine.

when electricty came it caused a commpletely different paradime shift, i msure people were mocking him and the lamp and candle cartels created a smart campaign against the electricity guy.

MOAR UPDATE:

NASA Chief Scientist Bushnell has apparently been educating more than just Nasa engineers about LENR; Make no mistake about it; he's FUCKING STOKED about LENR, and no matter if Rossi's ECAT flops or not, Bushnell sounds certain that NASA will be powering everything from spy drones to satellites to mars landers to deep space probes all with LENR in just a few years.

Check out this Slide Show presentation he's been giving lately:

http://newenergytimes.com/v2/government/NASA/20110922NASA-Bushnell-GRC-LENR-Workshop.pdf

It was recently obtained thru the Freedom of Information Act by the New Energy Times site (they are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2000, and cover way more than just LENR) and all throughout it you can tell that Bushnell feels that he's struck gold. He says specifically what he did to test, spends many pages on what he feels LENR can power (including military usage!) and even says what's coming up for his team next:

• Test/ determine the performance of the Rossi and
Piantelli devices
• Experimentally validate the weak interaction theories
• Utilize theory to design/ create and experimentally
optimize performance, including surface morphology
considerations/ opportunities and bootstrapping
• Summarize/ rackup the myriad approaches throughout
the entire system/ sequence that appear to work [ e.g.
the 5 or so methods of adding energy].

This PDF simply can't be a fake, too, because it was asked for and published by the owner of New Energy Times, which is a well aged, registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit org. The owner has been cited in Nature, Science, MSNBC, and even written many books on various Energy systems. This dude appears to be the foremost authority on upcoming energy gossip.

• The 2 decades of experiments and the weak

interaction theories have removed the existential risk,

what is remaining is to ENGINEER for improved

performance. Also obviously all the safety issues, labs

have blown up studying this arena
• SO ‐

Invent/ create optimized/ improved LENR

is merely a small first step,

“Devices”, testing “Rossi”
do the systems and propulsive/other application R&D
• BTW –LENR [ also] solves Global Climate and

Energy…..
Al Gore is going to be soooo pissed.
 
Yup! He an Obama are going to be out a few bucks on their Cap & Trade marketplace now... LOL!

(Unless of course Bushnell and Rossi suddenly go quiet...)

YAY! NASA Made a Kill-all Skeptiscism-in-LENR video and put it on youtube a few days ago:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxeKeuh_2Bw]NASA Admits LENR (Cold Fusion) Game Changer! - YouTube[/ame]

Also available here on NASA's Site: Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR in MHS (Metal Hydride Systems)

That's a Second Senior NASA researcher doing work for NASA to publicly come forward with this stuff.

Two major revelations that we can take away from this film with 100% certainty is:

A. No matter if ECAT is horseshit or not, LENR is soon to become a household technology that delivers us 100% clean, non-toxic, non-radioactive energy in large amounts, essentially destroying the oil and coal industries.

B. The powers that be have no clue about nor control over people in its' own employ, at least when a pseudo-science like "Cold fusion" has been tied to their work somehow to make them underestimate the vast threat they are facing.

This is important, and not just for LENR: To put it another way; If ANYONE wants to get their disruptive technology past the conspiracy/lobby/government standing against them, all they need to do is simply NAME IT some failed, preferably laughable technology at first so that the conspirators will severely underestimate it (and you) long enough to get your shit all over youtube.

Seems to be what Rossi did in a nutshell. Fucking Brilliant!
