In the last post of this series, I mentioned the fact that the video Fire from Water was worth watching again and again. It so happens that Miley was in that video, in which is shown from a screenshot here:
As before, you can learn a lot from th…

Rossi’s Petroldragon and Thermal Depolymerization
This is a followup to a post on the subject of Thermal Depolymerization. (TPD) I wanted to go into greater detail about Rossi’s background, with respect to Petroldragon, and the accusations of fraud.
But first, let me relate how I became intere…
Lithium ion battery hidden in E-cat to fool everybody?
A simple analysis is attempted here:
First, let’s take a look at the weight of the E-cat before and after the Oct 6th test- from the pdf titled Test of Energy Catalyzer – referenced here before
Weight of E-cat before test: 98 kg after test: 99 kgIf a b…
Cheap power: An overnight revolution — Commentary
By Sterling D. Allan, Pure Energy Systems News
excerpts:
When considering the logarithmically diminished time it takes to achieve 25% market penetration since the automobile was introduced a century ago (it took a century for it to reach 25%), and mor…
Unofficial says "Andy the Grump"
I got the link to this video from the Talk:Energy Catalyzer page on Wikipedia.
Someone (ip address only) put the video up and the above title was the response to it. It wasn’t given much respect. I would hope that they would take down such…
Are we on the Brink of an Energy Revolution?
Andrea Rossi to Build 1MW Power Plant — by Al Fin, Oil Price.com via Real Clear Energy

Krivit’s claims of failure of the E-cat
I haven’t bothered to read Krivit until this very morning. I have to say that I am shocked.
He claims failure, but I really don’t buy what he says. I’m sure Krivit has far more credentials than I do. What he says may be believed by thos…
Are you a betting man?
As for me, not so much. But I’ve played the markets, and that is a risk taking venture. Perhaps there are those who think that the markets are just a big casino, so, in that case, I’ve done some betting in my time.
With respect to the controversy of…
Occam’s Razor and the E-cat Test of Oct 6th
Occam’s Razor is, as I understand it, a simplicity principle. With respect to explaining something, the principle asserts that the simplest explanation is most likely correct. After writing that, my understanding turns out to be incorrect. …
Better graph showing net energy from E-cat test of Oct. 6, 2011
Peswiki
You can see that the area under the curve for the “Potenza OUT” ( output power) is greater than the area under the “Potenza Resistore” ( power resistor, input power to run the heater) Or input power vs output power. Time shif…
Photo on Facebook shows net energy production from E-cat test of 10/6/11
This corresponds well with what I posted yesterday. A glance at this input v output graph shows that the energy produced is greater than the energy consumed.
Power output exceeds power input = net power gain click on the link to the left in o…
A little closer look at those numbers
Pardon the lack of neatness here. I plugged in some numbers from that calculator I mentioned yesterday. It confirms my opinion that the E-cat was developing at least as much energy as it consumed just prior to going self sustaining. The period betwe…
NyTeknik: New test of the E-cat enhances proof of heat
video and story by Mats Lewan
plus a pdf of the raw data
excerpts:
At a new test in Bologna on Thursday, the ‘E-cat’ invented by Andrea Rossi ran in a completely stable self sustained mode for over three hours. Ny Teknik attended the test.
As in…
Just clicked on E-cat news site
It looks like you can’t get on. Maybe their traffic is too high. Just guessing. I don’t know what may be causing the trouble. But I have no news myself. No, I am just being patient here. You can’t make anything happe…
Cold Fusion Enigma, Secrets Remain— Fleischmann Pons III
As I wrote earlier today, I wanted to study paramagnetism. I thought that I may connect this up with BECNF, but instead of nickel, using palladium instead. It occurred to me that an experiment might be set up, which tests the idea that tran…
