Testing of Andrea Rossi 1 Megawatt E-Cat Power Plant Underway in Italy

October 28th, 2011

I was surprised that there was only one disparaging article in Forbes about this in all of Google News. I expected dozens of such articles.

Anyway, some possibly interesting antics are underway.

Via: PESN:

On October 28th of 2011, a very important, private test of Andrea Rossi’s one megawatt E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) will take place …

This upcoming test will not be conducted by Rossi, but will be managed by the expert consultants sent by his currently undisclosed customer, to validate the plant prior to purchasing it.

For reasons of practicality, safety, and to maintain the confidentiality of the customer’s identity, the number of individuals invited to attend this test will be kept to a minimum. Only a few media representatives will be present, one of whom will be Sterling Allan of PESN. No cameras or video taping will be allowed except by authorized persons. No live reporting will be allowed except by Rossi, who will be posting hourly updates on his blog. We will be posting updates along the way as well as our synopsis after the event.

Last January, Rossi held a press conference announcing the breakthrough technology by demonstrating a unit producing several kilowatts of heat. He said that in October of this year he would be launching the first commercial unit, which would be a 1 MW plant (also in the form of heat). He has stuck to and appears to be on track to meet that objective.

The one megawatt, nickel-hydrogen, cold fusion systems will be tested at the event. It is composed of 52 individual modules, each containing three reactor cores.

For the next few days, all public news and information about the test will be posted below.
