Two things are new -- Congress is now screaming for an official update on USA LENR efforts, as they see other nations pushing initiatives that are rolling forward into reality.   Drop the secrecy BS and tell us where we are on this critical new technology.

Next, Rossi has dropped the curtain on the E-CatX device, which has an electrical COP of 20 (adjustable) while providing both heat and light.   The 3 items are produced are on a sliding scale, as one goes up the others go down, with the total of the 3 always = 100%

Total COP of the entire device runs around 200, with each of 3 demo'd reactors running a selected percent of light, of heat, and of electricity.    The 3 reactors used in the test were changed up during the test several times so the business partners could see the ratio selection thing work.

The actual reactor is the size of a toothpick, and the containment vessel is the size of an ink pen.  This puts out power and heat on the order of a lawnmower engine at max settings, at min it is a flashlight & pocket hand warmer.    This is the smallest unit Rossi envisions building right now.   "Bigger is always possible" either by upsize of reactors or by using multiples of smaller reactors.    

Rossi is able to start and stop the small reactors in 5-10 seconds as they will only work under a low wattage excitement frequency (for safety reasons).   Since they put out enough electricity to charge a battery and the "warm up" time is so very short in seconds, a potential mobile use (a car) is very possible, supposedly.

Rossi's demo was strictly intended for his new business partners, who remain undisclosed at this time.

Remember, Cherokee was Rossi's partner (unannounced) for well over a year before the curtain got dropped on that relationship -- this sort of level of secrecy is not new to Rossi.   Big business runs off of confidential this and that, normally.   This is no different.

IH/Cherokee has NO RIGHTS to the new E-CatX tech, none at all.   Nor did Rossi disclose any of the particulars to them, so IH is left out totally in the cold on this one.

And it is also now very clear that IH/Cherokee only bought the 3 year old E-Cat tech and this tech package WAS COMPLETELY DELIVERED TO THEM and the one year test was successfully completed and IH simply defaulted on the deal due to lack of money to pay the agreed upon 89 million dollars -- so with IH being in default IH now has NO RIGHTS to any of Rossi's tech at this point in time (any of it) and they also are in default on their "protected sales zones" as well.

It looks like Cherokee/IH did a cut and run with the money they had raised months before the 1 year test was over, spending just about all of it on buying up everyone else's IP out there in LENR land .....   so Darden and company took a large short term profit and ran with it, buying up all the little guys as they ran past them.

People who took transferred chunks of Rossi's tech that was handed illegally to them from IH need to be considering where they really are right now, as Rossi may well go after their asses as soon as he is done with IH and Cherokee.

Be okay with me if he winds up owning it.

Why is it bad that Cherokee would fade to black?
I would not be surprised if IH is looking for a way to disburse funds and liquidate as much as possible Now. I wonder if they can acquire a company, transfer funds into it and become a subsidiary of the new company, it becomes the parent company, shielding the money,,  That way when they start into talks and having to pay, they are already on the edge of bankruptcy..

I don't know if that can be done... but I Did see my dad's company acquired by a mid size oil company that was being sued. They bought the company and attached the lawsuit to that new acquisition and it Sank the company that employed over 100 people. And we were paid reasonably. Not minimum wage. We manufactured Non Destructive Testing equipment for oil field pipe. My dad sued the company that did it and won, but it took about three years. He had a U-Haul type trailer loaded with boxes of documents that he hauled in and out of court. They settled with him and he signed a Non disclosure.

I don't agree, in Principle,,in Practice, you may be right.
When a Business Partner shoves a blade between your ribs and you seek legal ways to
Be made Whole
There is no shame in that.
I don't stay away from stores that prosecute shoplifters or banks that press charges against robbers.

If investors avoid Rossi because he Justifiably sought legal recourse after being screwed they have the problem.  If I was qualified to back him his actions would not put me off. For him to use the full force and power of the law to spank them as hard as he can would not bother me. Shady investors who might tend to try to shaft him will, naturally, be cautious. He, apparently, has a real thing going. Anyone who has the money and wants to get in on a potentially world changing technology should step right up. I wish Musk would jump in.

Rossi: “Centralized Heating” to be First Market Sector for E-Cat

This is an interesting read as it shows Sweden at the forefront of bio-mass conversion and use of distributed steam/hot water for heating in urban areas.

Sweden HAS no landfills, all biomass is converted into heat in the winter-time.

But what do you do when your trash supply runs short and you need more heat during a cold winter?   You have been burning oil, but that is expensive and if you burn it all at home you cannot sell it internationally.

Enter Rossi and the now well proven large e-cat tech.    Since it is inside a secured powerplant with skilled people to monitor it, the certification process will be quite short.  

First pilot plant, plus a year of run time (one e-cat core change out) proof that the recovery of elements is accomplished correctly and there is zero radioactivity or hazardous waste produced and bammo -- full certification.

Grab your shorts, this may be becoming a reality.
