Exploring the technical, economic and social ramifications of Andrea Rossi's e-cat Cold Fusion reactor.

Thanks to Daniele Passerini of 22Passi.blogspot.com for making available the slide show which was used in a recent presentation by Stefano Concezzi, director of National Instruments’ Science and Big Physics Segment at a July 2 meeting in Rome.

The House Committee on Space, Science, and Technology’s Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight held a hearing on January 24, 2012 to review the efforts of the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy ( ARPA-E ), a Department of Energy (DOE) agency tasked with ‘funding cutting-edge energy research “in areas that industry by itself is not likely to undertake because of technical and financial uncertainty.”’ According to the Subcommittee press release , the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Department of Energy Inspector General’s (IG) office both issued reports that found ARPA-E funding practices and procedures appearing to veer from this mission.

Independent confirmation of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction or Cold Fusion could be right around the corner.

In 1989, Drs.

I’ve been thinking about the question asked by Mark Gibbs on the Forbes web site yesterday: why do so many people believe so categorically in the validity of the E-Cat.

The following audio interview was posted a few months ago but I wanted to highlight it now because there is much talk around the Widom Larsen Theory and yet many people do not have a handle on it or the scientists involved.

There is some discussion on the wire about Defkalion’s mass spectrometer comment.

It is known to those who follow the E-Cat saga that Rossi Energy Catalyzers are lacking in scientific framework which prevented the scientific community to accept it as a valid LENR devices.
