We have returned after a hibernation period of 75 weeks.  Ecat.org was founded in 2011 to track the developments of LENR (low energy nuclear reactions) and specifically the headline-grabbing claims of Andrea Rossi and his E-Cat (“energy catalyzer”).  This site frankly lost interest in and ceased to post because of rather doubtful and disappointing progress in LENR and specifically, Rossi’s bitter fallout and litigation settlement with Industrial Heat.
A new year brings the fresh anticipation and prospect of key breakthroughs in LENR adoption and commercialization in 2019.  March 23, 2019, will mark the 30 year anniversary of Fleischmann and Pons infamous proclamation.  Since that press conference, uninterrupted testing and research has continued by dozens of groups worldwide, with companies like Brillouin Energy recently claiming to be on the path towards commercializing their technology.  We look forward to reporting on all legitimate LENR developments and help bring attention to this important and underfunded field.
While Rossi has made many suspect claims in the past, he has yet again made the news with a planned streaming demonstration of his latest product on January 31, 2019.  The full press release is below.
MIAMI (PRWEB) JANUARY 21, 2019
Leonardo Corporation is pleased to announce that it will be presenting the worldwide introduction of its E-Cat SK product, a revolutionary cost-efficient clean energy technology, in a live streaming broadcast on January 31, 2019.
The E-Cat operates on the basis of physical principles which allow for energy production at power densities far higher than with fossil fuels. No radioactive fuels are used, and no radioactive waste is produced. The E-Cat SK produces kilowatts of energy while consuming only grams of inexpensive and abundant fuel (hydrogen, nickel, lithium) over a period of six months. E-Cat reactions do not involve any chemical combustion, so no greenhouse gas emissions are produced.
The E-Cat’s inventor, Andrea Rossi states, “I am delighted to have arrived at the point where I can introduce an industrial product to the world. My goal has always been not only to demonstrate an important discovery in a laboratory, but also to implement it into useful products that can have important benefits for mankind. E-Cat technology will allow businesses to become more profitable through the reduction of their thermal energy costs, and at the same time they will be reducing negative environmental impacts.” Dr. Rossi has patented the E-Cat in the United States (US patent no. US 9,115,913 B1) and the patent has also been granted in all of Europe, China, Russia, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Australia, South Africa, and is pending in other countries.
The E-Cat SK is a product designed to be used in industrial settings where heat is required, ranging from simple space heating to applications where high temperatures are needed, including electricity generation.
Leonardo’s business model is based on delivering heat as a service. Leonardo retains ownership of the E-Cats and will install and remotely operate them. Customers pay for heat delivered at costs that will always be significantly lower (at least 20 percent lower) than the cost of any other energy source the customer may use.
The live broadcast will begin on January 31st at 9:00 a.m. US Eastern time at http://www.ecatskdemo.com. Live participants will be able to submit questions to Dr. Rossi who will answer them live during the presentation. Instructions on how to submit questions will be provided at the website above at the commencement of the presentation. The event will be recorded and be made available for later viewing.
