THE FIRST ONE OF THE THIRD SERIES OF PURE SCIENTIFIC VERIFICATION REPORTShttp://www.sifferkoll.se/sifferkoll/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/LuganoReportSu..."In summary, the performance of the E-Cat reactor is remarkable. We have a device giving heat energy compatible with nuclear transformations, but it operates at low energy and gives neither nuclear radioactive waste nor emits radiation. From basic general knowledge in nuclear physics this should not be possible. Nevertheless we have to relate to the fact that the experimental results from our test show heat production beyond chemical burning, and that the E-Cat fuel undergoes nuclear transformations." Well, it is 53 pages long and exhaustively scientific (tough to read). It is clear to see the base material changes going right on up the isotopic scales for nickel but the reaction stopped short of making copper. Trace elements present in the starting mix WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE ASH, so it is obvious the trace elements are going somewhere and do not remain in the leftovers of the process.
Two things were intended here, first, to show
in a scientific fashion that E-cats perform isotropic transformations and release copious heat energy in doing so which is the requirement of the US Patent Office. Second intention was to protect the full bore Rossi process from any detailed disclosure.
It will be interesting to see what nits are picked over this one. First nit I find is that they stopped it short of making any copper, which is a key element in Rossi's stated process. This is a big disappointment to my eyes.
Second nit is that IT ISN'T ROSSI'S NORMAL COMMERCIAL PROCESS, it is a solid sealed tube with lithium hydroxide (for hydrogen production) and nickel powder showing that terahertz excitement and heat release a magnitude more transformation heat than can be accounted for. The experiment is successful at doing showing this excess heat production and it clearly show the nickel isotopes marching on up the transformation ladder. It also showed that a replaceable solid sealed core system is viable commercially, with the lithium hydroxide providing the needed hydrogen.
Third nit (and this is a big one) is that NO COPPER WAS FORMED in this small scale sealed system -- so it isn't operating nearly as "energetically" as Rossi's previous E-Cat core systems have done.This small scale exercise also made it clear that although Rossi is still protecting his key trade secrets he can show the E-Cat isotropic ladder transformation effects using
just plain nickel powder with some lithium hydroxide to provide the hydrogen atoms.
The question remaining is it enough so to get the Patent Office satisfied with their current "peer review" technical objections?
But, increasingly, it also becomes obvious that the US Patent Office isn't interested in granting this patent for whatever non-business, non-scientific political reasons they may really have. Test results like this one will not change that attitude, I do not think.It is also becoming increasingly unimportant that the USPO get off their butts and do their job as the US Patent Office isn't the whole world and there are other patent offices in other countries that are not so unresponsive. Rossi/E-Cat and Godes/Brillouin ARE being granted patents in other countries using the same proofs and evidence that are and have been rejected in the past by the USPO.
Now, given a clear picture of the first stages of nuclear transformation, can the scientific community REPEAT this relatively simple experiment, verify the isotopic shift that was shown and come up with a theory as to what happening internally inside those nickel powder granules?
This isn't Rossi's job as entrepreneur, his job is to show that the thing works and to package it in a fashion that is marketable. He has done so.
Folks getting all tied up in their knickers over the disruption of all their pet nuclear theories is all well and good. That is their career and professional life after all and their world just changed on them all over again. We understand that they are upset by all of this mental disruption by a person they don't respect for very much.
So, go talk to Godes at Brillouin about his current theory if you want Theory. Him you respect well enough to talk to.
Argue loudly all you want if that makes you happy, but you can go argue against Brillouin's theory but you can never see what actually happens inside these E-Cat cores --- you can only derive it bit by bit by experimentation.
Meanwhile Rossi is commercializing the idea and prototyping large heavy duty steam production systems, commercial sized heat plant cores and now portable home heating cores.
Some folks are going to view this test as a "failure" as it did not show the high energetic copper transformation. It wasn't a high energy run. They do have to acknowledge all the 3.6x extra energy produced and the isotopic transformations of the nickel powder however. They also have to acknowledge that Rossi can fuel his cheap ceramic cores with totally sealed solid materials that make his cores a plug in replacement and toss it in the trash non-hazardous commercial ready system.
A used up florescent light tube is more hazardous than what was shown with this test system.
