One of the HotCat Paper authors, Torbjörn Hartman, has commented in more detail about the checks he personally made to reduce the chance of deception on the power input circuit. The following is a Google translation with some spelling corrections and with thanks to Jed Rothwell on Vortex who received the link from a Swedish […]

HotCat Report – Thoughts And Criticism
With a day to consider yesterday’s HotCat report, the following is an update on my thoughts: There are too many unknowns to be answered but the initial positive impression has survived a close reading of the paper. In purely scientific terms, people are right to be cautious and question the extent of its independence. This […]
HotCat Independent Report
The long-promised report on the HotCat has arrived. Far too early to draw conclusions, I have to admit to being surprised. Never have I longed to be proven wrong so much in my life. We are not there yet, but at face value, this appears to be a giant step in the right direction. Healthy […]
eCatNews Comments
Sometimes WP screws up comments when they build up and sometimes not. This is one of those times. With luck, this post will fix it. For those thinking that I may have shut the site down, I promise to give warning. If I pull the plug, I will announce the last open post and how […]
Rossi Gives His Side Of HotCat Friendly Fire
Andrea Rossi says: DEAR READERS: TODAY A BIG MESS IS POPPED OUT FROM A SHORT MEASUREMENT THAT HAS BEEN DONE THE LAST WEEK. I REALLY HAVE DIFFICULTY TO UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PERSONS HAVE TOTALLY IGNORED WHAT I CLEARLY SAID IN MY PRELIMINAR STATEMENT IN THE REPORT PRESENTED IN ZURICH: I SAID THAT ALL THE DATA […]
University of Bologna – No Formal eCat Relationship
Two weeks ago, Andrea Rossi performed a Defkalion – painting himself into a corner so that we might believe a resolution to the eCat saga was in sight. Referring to claimed successful tests on the hotcat, he told us on 11 August that they (the tests) would “… BE REPEATED OFFICIALLY WITHIN THE HALF OF OCTOBER […]
eCatNews Brief Pt 2
An independent look at Rossi’s eCat by novelist, Paul Story. A former physicist, Paul wrote this brief after months of wading through FUD and clutter trying to sift gold from shit. He has not decided to ‘believe’ yet, but thinks that the circumstantial evidence is so strong and the potential benefits so great that we need to pay attention.

Colonel Outed – E-Cat Schizophrenia Spreads
Details of the mysterious figure presented as the 1MW customer rep in October of last year have now been revealed. Many sceptics doubted he even existed but now they will most certainly doubt his impartiality (or assume he is Rossi’s employee or partner). Indeed, accusations fly that the more we know the more it stinks. […]
University of Bologna E-Cat Test
Disinclined to repeat hearsay without substantiation, I pause before posting the following from Andrea Rossi’s blog. In it, he tells us that the ‘leaking’ of the so-called hot-cat details by the person known as, ‘cures’ violated an NDA. However, in saying this he is giving credence to the leak – assuming it was not a […]
“Il sole in laboratorio”, acceso un reattore a fusione fredda
Gli studenti dell’Istituto Pirelli di Roma hanno riprodotto e acceso un reattore a fusione fredda basato sugli studi di Fleischmann e Pons. E adesso lo brevettano. Da anni il gruppo Pirelli finanzia studi su fusione fredda e Lenr (con “Pirelli lab”), e guarda con particolare interesse alle ricerche sui fenomeni di reazione Nichel-Idrogeno svolti a Siena dal Professor Piantelli. […]
Frank Acland Interviews Andrea Rossi
Frank over at e-catworld conducted an interview with Andrea Rossi at the weekend. I sympathise with him as the recording gremlins got involved and stole the audio. I have no doubt, however, that his post will reflect was was said. The most interesting aspect was AR’s claim that the German engineering firm, Siemens AG demonstrated […]
Unibo, National Instruments & Andrea Rossi’s eCat
On one level, the confusion surrounding the University of Bologna’s eCat research is a small detail that no one should sweat over but an eCat in the hands of respected academics would send a strong signal to those outide the circle of priviledge surrounding the inventor. A long published intent, reports of the cancellation of […]
Termination Of Bologna eCat Research True/False?
I received the following from Sterling Allan regarding the report that the Bologna University eCat research contract has been terminated. While I have no way of knowing where the confusion lies, Krivit’s reporting can be one-sided. On this occasion, his direct quote of Dario Braga, the director of scientific research at the university, made the […]
Rossi’s Deal with University of Bologna Collapses
Andrea Rossi’s agreement to test his ecat Low Energy Nuclear Reaction technology at the University of Bologna has apparently collapsed. There have been reports that Rossi had a deal to test ecat units at the school and the schools’ department of ph…
No eCat Research For University Of Bologna
For the last six months, many of us have been waiting in hope for the promised research contract between Andrea Rossi’s company and The University of Bologna to be actioned. The lure of independent tests coupled with the long association with the academic bastion through Professors Focardi and Levi lent a level of credibility to […]
