The E-cat of Rossi’s megawatt level is simulated for the electricity generations. The main problem of the irregular heat production is solved by the mass flow rate of the coolant. The engineering aspect could enhance the performance of the reactor capability. The results show the mass flow rate for 1000 and 10000 minutes, which are sued for the constant power as a level of megawatt thermal power. Using this data the regulated power production is possible for the commercialization. The power production of the clean energy using LENR shows the possibility of the new innovation of the next generation energy challenge.

It is to suggest a new global energy era with profound and unequivocally positive social, economic and environmental implications. This field of energy research is called as the cold fusion which has positive and negative connotations, also called LENR. It is understood hundreds of man-years of research have been committed to cold fusion, hoping to Fig. 2.

The LENR is used as the commercialization. The non-hazard radioactive pollutions are expected comparing to the conventional NPPs. More possible applications for commercialization are expected. For the future study, the theoretical investigations are necessary to make the regularized facility. The nano- scopic applications of the LENR are challengeable for the better efficient power productions. In addition, the LENR energy productions are applicable to some industries with Fig. 3.

However, it is necessary to construct the standard of the LENR energy commercialization. In the paper, the constant heat production using control the mass flow rate is proposed. Basically, the pattern of the irregular heat production in LENR is not known.

  • COLD NUCLEAR FUSION from Pons & Fleischmann to Rossi's E-Cat
    COLD NUCLEAR FUSION from Pons & Fleischmann to Rossi's E-Cat by Martin Bier Twenty-two years have passed since Pons and Fleischmann held their legendary press conference. Presumably, they had realized cold fusion. But it became a classic case of pride before the fall. A few months later, after the results appeared irreproducible, the American Physical Society and the authoritative journals declared it pseudoscience. Nevertheless, cold fusion never totally disappeared. Money has continued to be poured into it and researchers are still working on it. Recently, there has been commotion over an alleged "breakthrough" by Andrea Rossi with his E-Cat. But there are indications that Rossi's E-Cat is a sham. ! PONS EN FLEISCHMANN Martin Fleischmann (1927) was an accomplished British elektrochemist. He had been president of the International Society of Electrochemistry for two years. In 1986, he was allowed to join the Fellowship of the Royal Society. After 1983, he no longer had any teaching duties at the University of Southampton and started spending a lot of time doing research at the University of Utah. Stanley Pons (1943) was from Valdese, North Carolina. He interrupted his chemistry studies for eight years to help run the family business. But in 1975 he picked it up again and in 1978 he received his Ph.D. from the University of Southampton. In 1989, he was head of the chemistry department at the The front cover of Time on May 8, 1989.!

  • Press Releases
    HOW ROSSI COLD FUSION TESTS MISLED THE WORLD’S SCIENTISTS INADVERTENT MISWIRING OF LEADS IS THE CAUSE All around the world, thousands of people have been heralding the introduction of the Rossi E-CAT energy catalyzer device which claims to generate more energy output than is input due to low energy nuclear reaction. What makes this claim different is that at least fifteen scientists from around the world, including from NASA, have lent some support for it, after witnessing a demonstration or analyzing the results. They generally concluded that the output power was apparently much larger than the input, and only nuclear reactions could account for the difference. However, Dick Smith, patron of Australian Skeptics, says, “It would be great if it’s true, but it’s more likely just a misconnection of the power lead.” Smith was approached in December to invest $200,000 in this scheme to provide almost free energy and thus save the planet from climate change. He sent aerospace engineer Ian Bryce of Australian Skeptics to an investors’ meeting on the NSW North Coast on January 13 to investigate. Smith says, “If one of the wires in the three-core power lead was accidentally misconnected, the actual measurements of current witnessed by two Swedish scientists would not be the total power going into the reactor, and there would be an apparent power gain. One of the scientists who observed an earlier test has now agreed this could be so.” Bryce found that in all six published tests up to July, a misconnected earth lead could funnel in up to 3 kilowatts, thus bypassing the power meters used, and accounting for all the measured output power in the form of steam.

  • Indication of Anomalous Heat Energy Production in a Reactor Device Containing Hydrogen Loaded Nickel Powder
    Indication of anomalous heat energy production in a reactor device containing hydrogen loaded nickel powder. Giuseppe Levi Bologna University, Bologna, Italy Evelyn Foschi Bologna, Italy Torbjörn Hartman, Bo Höistad, Roland Pettersson and Lars Tegnér Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden Hanno Essén Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT An experimental investigation of possible anomalous heat production in a special type of reactor tube named E-Cat HT is carried out. The reactor tube is charged with a small amount of hydrogen loaded nickel powder plus some additives. The reaction is primarily initiated by heat from resistor coils inside the reactor tube. Measurement of the produced heat was performed with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, recording data every second from the hot reactor tube. The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large bandwidth three- phase power analyzer. Data were collected in two experimental runs lasting 96 and 116 hours, respectively. An anomalous heat production was indicated in both experiments. The 116-hour experiment also included a calibration of the experimental set-up without the active charge present in the E-Cat HT. In this case, no extra heat was generated beyond the expected heat from the electric input. Computed volumetric and gravimetric energy densities were found to be far above those of any known chemical source. Even by the most conservative assumptions as to the errors in the measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than conventional energy sources. INTRODUCTION Andrea Rossi claims to have invented an apparatus that can produce much more energy per unit weight of fuel than can be obtained from known chemical processes.

  • ECAT Science How the E-Cat Works
    ECAT Science How the E-Cat Works • The theory states that once some energy is added to surfaces loaded with protons, if the surface morphology enables high localized potential gradients, then heavy electrons (muons) leading to ultra low energy (cold) neutrons will form that never leave the surface. • The neutrons set up isotope cascades which result in beta decay and gamma emission. This results in interactions with heavy electrons which convert the gamma into heat. Nano-sized particles of nickel, pressurized hydrogen and a catalyst are heated in a small reactor to the point at which weak interactions between the reactants cause transmutation (ie some of the nickel is converted to copper). Considerable excess heat is emitted during this process. Once the reaction becomes self-sustaining, the input power can be reduced significantly and excess heat (up to 650 degrees C) is generated in a range of five to 30 times the input energy. The E-cat, Andrea Rossi invention, is guaranteed to work at a COP of 6:1. This can be used for steam, hot water, heating and generating electricity. Future uses include desalination and agricultural purposes. One day it could be used for transportation vehicles, aircraft and ships. The system is inexpensive, emits no green house gases and there is no radioactivity. The amount of 1 gram of nickel with this reaction is equivalent to one barrel of oil, or one barrel of nickel creates the same energy as a super tanker of oil! LENRs are weak interactions and neutron-capture processes that occur in nanometer- to micron-scale regions on surfaces in condensed matter at room temperature.

Kim Nuclear Reactions in Micro/Nano-Scale Metal Particles Received: 20 September 2011 / Accepted: 24 December 2011 / Published online: 17 March 2012 © Springer-Verlag 2012 Abstract Low-energy nuclear reactions in micro/nano-scale metal particles are described based on the the- ory of Bose–Einstein condensation nuclear fusion (BECNF). The BECNF theory is based on a single basic assumption capable of explaining the observed LENR phenomena; deuterons in metals undergo Bose–Einstein condensation. The BECNF theory is also a quantitative predictive physical theory. Experimental tests of the basic assumption and theoretical predictions are proposed. Potential application to energy generation by igni- tion at low temperatures is described. Generalized theory of BECNF is used to carry out theoretical analyses of recently reported experimental results for hydrogen–nickel system. 1 Introduction Over the last two decades, there have been many publications reporting experimental observations of excess heat generation and anomalous nuclear reactions occurring in metals at ultra-low energies, now known as low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR). Theoretical explanations of the LENR phenomena will be described based on the theory of Bose-Einstein condensation nuclear fusion (BECNF) in micro/nano-scale metal parti- cles [1–3]. The BECNF theory is based on a single basic assumption capable of explaining the observed LENR phenomena; deuterons in metals undergo Bose–Einstein condensation. While the BECNF theory is able to make general qualitative predictions concerning LENR phenomena it is also a quantitative predictive physical theory. Proposed experimental tests of the basic assumption and theoretical predictions will be described.

Giuliano Bettini Retired. Earlier: Selenia SpA, Rome and IDS SpA, Pisa Also Adjunct Professor at the University of Pisa Adjunct Professor at Naval Academy, Leghorn (Italian Navy) Abstract In the present article I would like to answer a question posed by L. Kowalsky in a recent paper: how can 30% of nickel in Rossi’s reactor be transmuted into copper? “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”, says a guy. I apologizes if I am too simplistic here. Introduction The interest on Andrea Rossi’s Nickel-Hydrogen Cold Fusion technology is accelerating [1]. However, Rossi says that about 30% of nickel was turned into copper, after 6 months of uninterrupted operation. Kowalski [2]. says that “this seems to be impossible because the produced copper isotopes rapidly decay into Ni”. But how it works? How it works Following Focardi Rossi [3]. a Ni58 nucleus produces a Copper nucleus according to the reaction Ni58 + p → Cu59 Copper nucleus Cu59 decays with positron (e+) and neutrino (ν) emission in Ni59 nucleus according to Cu59 → Ni59 + ν + e+ Then (e+) annichilates with (e-) in two gamma-rays e- + e+ → γ + γ Starting [3] from Ni58 which is the more abundant isotope, we can obtain as described in the two above processes Copper formation and its successive decay in Nickel, producing Ni59, Ni60, Ni61 and Ni62.
