Serobot, there are many who share your point of view.    However, Rossi keeps on making slow progress and he remains at the head of the LENR pack.  

Is his stuff salable right now?   Yes, but only for heat and only with him taking all the risks which is what he is doing at this point in time.    Every new customer he takes on is a liability, so Rossi doesn't want too many customers until the bugs are ALL 100% worked out.  

===================================================


So if you want 100% salable, no it isn't ready yet.

So, is Rossi's E-cat Leonardo ready for prime time?   No, not yet.   Not for electrical supply anyway.    Heat, you could argue yes he has something to sell wide-spread at this point, as he does have heat in Self Sustaining Mode working OK now.

Sero, If Rossi's goal was retirement he has 10 million in the bank already and he isn't even spending all his interest money on his new labs, his new processes, his certification testing, supporting a few dozen customers to build up his certification hours, etc. etc.   He still has 10,000 run hours to build up for certification, you know.

Rossi could just get sick and retire if your thinking was correct.   Rossi could then sell all interests in his invention to ABB for another small little nest egg and just let it all go.

But he doesn't do that, now does he?

https://e-catworld.com/2019/08/27/pico-scale-physics-and-the-e-cat-stephen/

Rossi is busy one month testing a new E-Cat version that will run inside very steady operating parameters (against a a very steady constant heat absorbing load) without the external active controllers having to be struggling to control it all the time.    He says he is running the E-Cat Leonardo off of a small battery as a critical test on reduced controller energy use.

He calls this Steady State Mode (SSM) and he has his plasma based device doing it off a small AA battery now (wall socket power required at start up only).   Rossi states that using the small external battery power source is always going to be a regulatory requirement of his units as E-Cat Leonardo has to have a "natural built into it fail safe" that must always exist to keep his devices controllable and totally safe.  

The battery supplies this controllable power, you can hit the kill switch and cut off the battery voltage and E-Cat Leonardo automatically ramps down and stops naturally.

Rossi now refers to the nickel powder as a "catalyst medium" instead of a fuel.

Rossi has now abandoned the LENR term saying that it isn't cold or any other type of fusion, it isn't any form of fission and that the earlier seen transformation effects that destroyed his old reactor vessels was really just a side effect of the many small strange radiation vortexes instead of a primary energy producer.   Indeed Rossi says it takes energy away from the primary reaction to make the strange radiation effects that fire off the reactor destroying transformation effects.

But then, what is the REAL primary energy source for Rossi's devices?   Electrons, lots of them, a sea of them ......  several different decaying states of electrons cycling back & forth through several decay states it looks like.   Lots and lots of electron like things are popping into and out of existence from somewhere else leaving a very very energetic photon-like thing behind each time they do the trip (which then fires off a conical cascade event leaving normal high frequency photons shooting around all over the place) .......
     
                                                                                                              Roll Eyes


It’s interesting that he (Rossi) really is discussing pico scale physics not nuclear physics or normal atomic physics. And in particular of dense pico scale structures. He talks about the surface areas of reflective surfaces in these dense structures at scales similar to the wave lengths of the particle waves involved and the implications in Casmir forces etc. he talks about light cones of relativistic particles and the implications of that for interactions. If I’m beginning to understand right it’s these structures that are responsible for his process and extraction of energy rather than from the nuclei themselves.

Rossi and others are beginning to break into whole new realms of new pico-physics, and are making effects not seen before outside of a few huge particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider.

Outside researchers are now plunking away at "strange radiation" now as the implications of this "symptom of exchange of state from matter to energy" outside of the coulomb barrier has some real interest going now in the mainstream community.  

Strange radiation can be produced at will with a stuttering electrical gap (the Parkhomov woodpecker device) so it can be reproduced and studied easily by researchers everywhere.  Transformation products are seen along the tracks left by the strange radiation vortex forms.


===================================================


https://e-catworld.com/2019/08/21/mizuno-replication-announced/

Munizo from Japan has created and published detailed instructions for a confirmed, replicated system to get a Rossi style reaction of the older type.   This type of reactor will eat itself up over time, just like all the earliest Rossi types did.  But it is now easily replicated with a published construction design.

https://e-catworld.com/2019/08/11/new-parkhomov-paper-published-nickel-hydrog...

Parkhomov is also publishing details of his most successful reactor to date, so the peanut gallery is able to build something and follow along approximately 2-3 years behind Rossi's current position.

First reports by Rossi on the new experimental run he is doing.   "Encouraging, it continues."

Now, what is the rest of this story?

Rossi units have been always been considered as yearly replaced plug in units because the LENR transformation effects inside the reactor attacked the reactor structure itself.   The usable life of a reactor was gone long before the "fuel" was used up, actually.  

This sad fact has been true all along.

Rossi how has a line on how to "resonance tune out" most of the transformation effects, or to greatly reduce them such that the reactor CAN last long enough to completely burn out its "fuel".

Rossi has gotten away from his overpowered (cooling required) control set ups and he now can start the reaction off of 110 volts then maintain the "resonance control" safely using an AA battery for proposed remote uses such as cars and such.

This new knowledge is running around through all of Rossi's competitors and they all are busily getting better accordingly.

Most of this new knowledge comes from those researchers who SEEK TRANSFORMATION EFFECTS for converting materials, there are over a dozen groups working hard at this side of LENR.

The more good research that is done, the quicker the entire thing moves forward.

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_anf_long_range_par...

Rossi has now posted a technical journal paper that outlines his "Long Range Particle Interaction" theory along with the mathematics that determine it effects.

Transformation effects are covered by this theory.   According to this theory, all elements up through Iron are possible to create using resonant lattices.  Beyond iron, you supposedly need a star blowing up in a nova to get the environment that is needed for making the higher atomic weight numbers.

Surprisingly, this "Long Range Particle Interaction" theory also can play inside living bacteria who keep inside their mitochondrial cells the needed mechanisms to convert some toxic heavy elements into other safer stable compounds.

I stress, this is yet another theory that attempts to handle observed  transformations  something that is clearly seen all around us now that we are really looking for it.

Thorium salt reactor, augmented by burning up other people's nasty nuclear wastes just to get rid of them (with a paid disposal fee, of course).

Well worth the 5 minutes needed to watch it.    The folks are Brits and Canadians, so they are somewhat "more trustworthy" than most of the yahoo's that are out there.

They are watched closely and over-regulated by their governments in other words.

The new Google financed/supported teams are all well past their earlier attempts at replicating the Pons - Fleischmann Cold Fusion experiments and are now branching out into all the more modern LENR systems that have been documented.  

They are exchanging data with the Google groups who are working with Material Transformations and all groups are focusing in more on the mechanisms of transformations and leaving off on the "cold fusion" stuff more and more.

Two of the little Google groups have gone silent on us (this generally means they think they are on to something that is worth keeping a secret).

New groups have started up on those same aspects, to learn what made the first bunch go suddenly quiet on them.   The new groups are posting on their experiments which keeps the first groups that went quiet on them from being able to file patents on the work up to that point.

Rossi now says he does not have "cold fusion" nor LENR going on inside his most current plasma based E-Cat cells, instead he has some sort of electron/photon effect going on in the plasma itself that makes COPIOUS AMOUNTS of gratuitous photons from ...... nothing.  

This is a strongly frequency based thing that is going on now, it is now controlled by a very minor frequency generator control system once the hot plasma itself is built and the double layer effect is established.


Shocked


Rossi's E-Cat still resembles a desk lamp's halogen bulb as far as structure and size goes .....    Halogen bulbs have always gotten hot as hell and made a lot of light, were they on to something without realizing it ???

Rossi just reported on his long term experiments with direct energy production taking power directly out of his plasma.

He says he got it on the 4th "rebuild the structure" try and he is now running several of the new E-Cats off its own self-generated power.

Rossi plans a reveal video around Christmas time.

The peanut gallery was vocal and practically unanimous -- hire a good PR Marketing firm to structure your marketing reveal and consult with your partner ABB and plan to announce their first product offering at the same time --- ie be ready to take orders.

If you can't do these things, keep your mouth shut a little longer until you can.  

Tongue       NO MORE PUPPETS .......


===================================================


It has a name now,  The Leonardo SSM.

This will undergo trial placement with the same folks Rossi has parked his earlier Leonardo units with,  as Rossi pledged publicly to keep them current on a yearly basis during their trial runs.   This saves the time it would take to pick a new crop of trusted placement people.

Plus, it also allows Rossi to scoop up all the earlier clumsy implementation hardware and clear the decks for whatever he finally deems to be "salable".

Now Rossi has a motivation to announce his new stuff and to apply for the EU prize money.   Ditto for all the others as well.

https://e-catworld.com/2019/11/07/eu-offering-research-funding-for-breakthrou...

The EU is offering research funding for “Breakthrough zero-emissions energy generation” from “…for example, long duration high heat sources from hydrogen-metal systems (e.g., using nickel)…”?

The total amount together with research in “Human Centric AI” and “Implantable autonomous devices and materials” is EUR 113 mln.

“c. Breakthrough zero-emissions energy generation for full decarbonization. Clean and sustainable energy is one of the major challenges of our time. This sub-topic aims at the multidisciplinary exploration of new directions (starting from TRL 1-3) for power generation that is clean, compact and low-cost, aimed at stand-alone, mobile or portable uses in specific application contexts, for instance, in the transport sector (road, air, sea and either for motive or auxiliary needs), for portable uses, in remote places or in emergency situations. Breakthrough concepts and techniques for energy generation have to be explored for generating heat and/or electricity efficiently with zero emissions and with a minimal use of rare or toxic materials. Research areas could include, for example, long duration high heat sources from hydrogen-metal systems (e.g., using nickel), energy generation in plasma and cavitation systems. These or any other concepts with similar compact, high energy density and low-cost energy generation capabilities should be harnessed to make them usable for specific application contexts. Clear and ambitious performance targets and milestones to achieve them shall be provided.”



====================================================


https://e-catworld.com/2019/11/08/arpa-e-provides-funding-to-support-lower-cost-
fusion-energy-concepts-news-release/

DARPA's energy department thinks what the EU did was a good idea --- same thing, but with more money is now available from Uncle Sam.

ARPA-E Provides Funding to Support Lower-Cost Fusion Energy Concepts

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy today announced up to $30 million in funding for a new Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program, Breakthroughs Enabling THermonuclear-fusion Energy (BETHE). BETHE projects will support the development of timely, commercially viable fusion energy, aiming to increase the number and performance levels of lower-cost fusion concepts.

“Successfully developing lower-cost fusion energy concepts would ensure U.S. leadership in this potentially game-changing energy technology,” said ARPA-E Director Lane Genatowski, “Deployable, commercially viable fusion would offer reliable, low-carbon power.”

Controlled fusion has long been viewed as an ideal energy source, given its potential for the generation of energy that is safe, clean and abundant, but the technology’s development has been hindered by technical challenges and costs. The BETHE program seeks to address these challenges through a focus on increasing the number and performance levels of lower-cost fusion in three research areas: A) new, lower-cost concept development; B) component technology development to lower the cost of more-mature fusion concepts; and C) improvements to and application of existing fusion R&D capabilities to accelerate the development of multiple concepts.

The program will also have a technology-to-market focus, aiming to develop a path to fusion commercialization through public, private, and philanthropic partnerships.

The BETHE program will build off of ARPA-E’s first fusion program, Accelerating Low-Cost Plasma Heating and Assembly (ALPHA). Projects in the ALPHA program focused on the development and prototyping of components and tools to demonstrate methods of reaching fusion conditions. While some of these technologies have garnered interest by private fusion companies, more work and technical achievements need to be done to meet performance milestones or develop a grid-ready fusion demonstration. The BETHE program builds on ALPHA by seeking to mitigate the daunting scientific and technical risks facing lower-cost fusion concept developers.

There is a big conference and show this weekend in northern Europe about Breakthrough Energy Systems.  Nobody is talking about Rossi, or LENR or "cold fusion" at all right now such terms and persons are "academic anathema" at this point in time.

Rossi's last puppet show has totally killed his public image.

Rossi is reacting, as he sees his fame going away very rapidly.   Much of what Rossi did turns out it was based upon Kenneth Shoulders work and that of several Italian predecessors, and all of Rossi's fame is devolving rapidly to the original inventors (who are long since comfortably dead from cancer, every last one of them).

What this does is clear the decks for the next breakthrough from some open source person (or from the Google's teams, or from entrants for the ADARPS's prize program or from the EU's prize program) to take the credit for opening up "Breakthrough Energy".

Rossi is getting old, his faculties are fading.....  Matts Lewan is getting old now too, and Matts is telling Rossi he needs to open source all his secrets so he can get credit for them NOW because if he doesn't somebody else will rediscover them and get the credit for his work.

 I think part of the issue is Rossi hasn't provided anything that is peer reviewed, and has been on the edge of a breakthrough for way too long.  Google teams are following methods that allow for review, something worth investing in.

 LENR is considered a scam by way to many at this point, if Rossi doesn't get something tangible out for assessment then he's done.  He can still get money from somewhere I am sure, but not at the level he was once expecting.

The Scandinavian based Breakthrough Energy Systems conference in Breukelen, Netherlands is now over.   The Safire team presentation done there prompted a whole lot of conversation and thought.

They think they know what is causing LENR to work and it is NOT cold fusion.   They think they have a list of elements that can shield or control strange radiation and a methodology to apply to shielding my room heater.   Boron is definitely one of these.  Layered mylar plastic (plastic, aluminum foil, plastic, boron powder, plastic) weighs next to nothing and several layers stop strange radiation pretty much completely.

The differences between a Safire Reactor and a Rossi Reactor are an order of magnitude in SIZE and a vast difference in the driving voltages, the primary energy source for both is the exact same thing.

Rossi is successfully harvesting created or "stripped" electrons to power his new Leonardo device version.   Rossi has tuned his electronic frequency pump to minimize (but not totally stop) the creation of strange radiation vortexes.   Thus his reactor will last longer before transformations make it all crumbly.

Governments and big business (Google) are now actively funding LENR research.   It is all going to move a lot faster now.    Rossi no longer holds all the marbles inside his head, there are lots of groups across the world that hold this knowledge now.

Rossi is furtherest along in collecting lots of run hours for various certifications -- but please note that interested governments can waive these long hours for certification requirements if they wish to.

America, Russia, Sweden and Japan are hot spots of strange radiation research --- expect some pieces of top secret research to jump out of the world of black projects shortly and provide information to industry so we can spread this stuff out into the light of day.

Here is a link to an article published yesterday (Nov. 14, 2019) in the Asia Times.

"Cold fusion: A potential energy game changer"

It's an easy-to-understand overview of cold fusion (LENR) research ,
from its genesis, through its challenges, to its current progress.

Here is a link to the next article about cold fusion research published yesterday (Nov. 15, 2019) in the Asia Times.

"Cold fusion 2: Japan wins with systematic method"

https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/11/article/cold-fusion-japan-takes-the-lead/

This article calls attention to many notable main stream physics research
organizations and individuals who are now investigating cold fusion.
Most notable is MIT, considering that this institution was at the forefront
in condemning both the research and the professional credibility of
Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons after they published their
cold fusion discovery in 1989.
