Some of you here may remember my diary on the subject back in May, "Cold Fusion Confirmed in Sweden"
It was met with tons of healthy skepticism and I was properly convinced that it was a sham based on the isotopic composition of the copper found in the reaction chamber. I said then that "we'll see"
Well, the October test was performed 5 days ago and the early results are in.
According to multiple bloggers the E-cat has been tested "successfully.
I am still quite skeptical but an anonymous client has purchased the device for third-party testing. According to Andrea Rossi, they are going forward with a production facility in China and will be selling small electric power generators that will sell for under $100.00 per kW of continuous generation potential.
There is still a whole lot that has to be answered, like, why was there a 500 Watt generator hooked up to the experiment. . .
At this point the technology has continued to meet the test schedule put forward by Rossi. They have apparently partnered with a large industrial group, and plan on building industrial facilities in the U.S. next year.
When asked how many units he was expecting to build in the first year, Rossi answered, “From 30 to 100 for the first year is what we are already ready to make, but we will get exponentially faster in time”, which means that production facilities must getting lined up to handle these orders. Rossi When asked where in the United States he will be working, and hiring people he listed Miami, FL; Manchester, NH; and Boston, MA. Rossi mentioned again that the industrial strength plants are ready for manufacturing, but there still is work to do to get authorization from government regulators for the small household units to be sold.
at least Forbes put up a good article on the test.
