Dear Mr George M Hebbard jr:
I am convinced that we have to integrate ouselves in a global energetical system in evolution, where integrate means work together for the Mankind.
Warm regards,
A.R.
Dear Mr Luca:
As soon as possible we will give this information.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Thanks Rossi!
About the 1MW reactor planned for october: is there any idea about where it will be located or it is a secret info?
Thanks in advance.
Several posts have alluded to potential roadblecks to be placed in the way of this competitor to Exxon-Mobil and BP. The vested interests are powerful opponents and in the first few years of a paradigm shift will spare no expense to block it. Then, conceding defeat, they have tried to take it over and profit from it. So the future is before you, with the past as guidance.
Beware the US EPA and the US NRC. They are the most likely first weapons to be used againt you.
As a Registered Professional Engineer, I have been involved in the development of many new ideas. The pattern is universal. Disbelieve, acceptance, euforia, opposition, disheartenment, dogged determination, and slow progress. All in front of you.
Time is of the essense, as many believable sources feel that the Sun is entering a Dalton Minimum, if not a full-fledged Maunder Minimum. Too many agricultural failures are on the horizon by 2025 to allow us to feed 7 billion people, so something like cold fusion is needed to see us through. And, talk about Power to the People! A whole new world.
Dear Eng. Vince Golubic:
You are perfectly right. We are working hard on the issues you indicated, with Focardi and the University of Bologna.
Warm regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr Steen Larsen,
Thank you for your contribution,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Patrick:
Thank you,
Andrea Rossi
Dear Mr Charlie Moore:
Today wars are more subtle. For example, there is the attempt to discredit my work by associating it to the problems of my past from which I have been completely cleared: see

Dear Mr Alan De Angelis,
I too have your opinion about Deuterium.
Warm regards,
Andrea Rossi
Congratulations Mr. Rossi. It’s the dawn of a new age.
I found it interesting that only hydrogen works in your system and not deuterium (in fact deuterium quenches the reaction). Perhaps a proton can tunnel into nickel(and a deuteron can not).
All the best,
A.D.
This sounds like an evolutionary break thru, I hope that there is some contigency plan in the event the oil or coal companies make you guys dissapear, perhaps a wikileaks of some sort that your technologies can be shared with the world for greater good.
I would like to whole heartedly congratulate you on your accomplishments. I hold faith that this technology is as legitimate as it sounds. Once comercially viable for personal use, sign me up. If truly viable you will be maked in history for your discovery. Blessings to you.
After dooing some “Google research” I was surprised to see that there are many references on the web to scientific work that Focardi and Rossi have done in the area of Ni-H systems during more than 20 years!
One of the most interesting papers can even be found in English and was published by a respected Italian government research organisation which is also involved in the hot fusion ITER project:
http://www.enea.it/com/ingl/New_ingl/publications/pdf/Cold_Fusion_Italy.pdf (English version)
http://www.enea.it/produzione_scientifica/pdf_volumi/V2008_14_StoriaFusioneFredda.pdf (Italian version)
Title: COLD FUSION The history of research in Italy
Publisher: ENEA – Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment
On page 153 there is an article titled “Anomalous effect between 200 and 400 °C on Ni-H Systems. Neither chemical nor electrochemical phenomenon” written by SERGIO FOCARDI and FRANCESCO PIANTELLI.
This is quite technical and goes into some detail, among other it reveals:
1. The research in the field of nickel – hydrogen systems started from an experimental observation by F. Piantelli at the end of 1989 concerning a strange thermal effect at low temperature in a sample of nickel with hydrogen.
2. Neutrons were emitted while energy was produced.
3. Electromagnetic radiation emission (with energy of the order of 100 keV) was observed
4. At the end of the experiments they observed that the following had been produced: remarkable quantity Cu and Zn (with atomic number greater than Ni), F, Na, Mg, Al,
Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Cr & Fe
The article also contains references to papers and procedings from scientific conferences.
I thought this might interest other readers.
Dear Sirs:
As a nuclear engineer, judging by the information found on the internet (videos, translations from Italian, news articles & US patent regarding your recently demonstrated device) if what I’m reading is true (by whatever phenomenon or process it achieves xP), you may seriously need to do an environmental impact & life cycle analysis of your device before anything is sold world wide to laboratories, or to the public. In case you have been successful, I think you would be well advised to think through & prevent “possible” safety issues later. I certainly hope I’m wrong.
with best wishes,
Vince Golubic

Congrads,
I’m very excited about the potential you system presents to the world. I would very much like to be a part of the operations if possible. I have extensive experience in the field, as I was also an inventor. Somewhat different but the design I thought was brilliant. http://www.haeturbines.com – However your efficient is much superior so I would rather join you and your organization. You have surely invented a better mousetrap and therefore I am at your service. I have a number of contacts and associates that would be extremely interested in assisting you and your colleagues in this venture. My number is 561-596-1004

Dear Mr Luca,
The material you are talking about is published on the paper Focardi-Rossi on the Journal Of Nuclear Physics. But I do not agree with you. There are too many interests to make the war against us, to find the peace with a paper. The sole thing which will close the chattering valves is a 1 MW plant working regularly. And this is exactly what will absorb all my energies in the next months. We are late, I thought it was ready before, but now problems have been resolved and within October we will be down in the battlefield.
Warm regards,
A.R.
Dear Henrik:
We want not to scare anything out of nothing: we want to make a job useful to the Community.
Thank you for your sustaining us, but don’t push the mouse to make the war agaist the elephant…
At most we can make the war against paper tigers, like somebody around here.
A.R.
Dear Mr Singh,
I am not professor, but thank you very much for your important gratification.
Warm regards,
Andrea Rossi
Dear Mr Luca:
The volume of the black box is not enough to contain a source of chemical derived energy equal to the energy produced, by orders of magnitude.
Anyway, you will be more convinced when we will put in operation 24 hours per day a 1 MW plant, in the factory of our Customer.
Warm regards,
Andrea Rossi
p.s.
Please also consider that the test has been made by three very high level professors of Physics of the University of Bologna, not connected with us, used to work for CERN, INFN. Do you think they have not checked the absense of batteries? By the way: do you know the volume and weight of a battery able to deliver 10 kWh in 45 minutes?
Anyway: our tests are over. My next release will be from a 1 MW operative plant in the factory of a Customer. Within October. I promise. On my dead body.
A.R.
Dear Luca: I do not care of the insults: they qualify them who insult, not me. My only focus is to make well working and sound plants.
Galileo Galilei has risked to be burnt alive. I am lucky: I do not risk this.
And, by the way: much more are those who are enthusiast of the work of my fellows and me, and their encouragement is vital for us: thank you for your encouragement.
Warm Regards,
Andrea Rossi
PS:
Sulla rete è in corso una vera e propria campagna d’infamia nei tuoi confronti.
Prevedibile. Lo sapevi già. Ma molti sperano che non sia un hoax.
Thank you for allowing external people to know about your experiments and ask question thorough this blog.
There are few points of the experiment that are not very clear, at least to me.
For what I understood, to assure that the energy output does not come from chemical reactions, the bottle containing the hydrogen is weighted before and after the experiment.
I do not understand how this procedure can guarantee that the produced energy in not of chemical origin. Infact both an oxidizer and a fuel could be contained in the so called reactor, and the chemical reaction between the two could account for the energy produced. No change in the weight of the reactor is expected in this case, given that the fuel and the oxidizer do not need to exit or enter the reactor to produce a chemical reaction.
So I do not understand how this experiment proves that energy output is of non-chemical origin.
We have a black box, the reactor, which content is covered by industrial secret. This black box is producing a quantity of energy that is compatible with the possible energy production of chemical reactions taking place inside it.
At this point, it seems that the only basis we have to believe that the energy is produced by non chemical reactions is to trust the inventor of the device.
There is also second point that I found strange, even if less important.
A physicist was allowed to measure the gamma ray emission of the device during the experiment. He found a feeble, not costant gamma ray emission. But he was NOT allowed to measure the frequency of the gamma ray emission. This because measuring it will have revealed information about how the reactor works. Rossi said that with this information the physicist would have “understood everything”. But measuring the frequency of a radiation is not like having a radiography of an object, it does not reveal the internal structure of the device. Not even Rossi himself, for his own admission, knows exactly why the gamma rays are emitted this way. So it is really difficult to believe that measuring the frequency would have revealed something that could tell us how the device works.
So, why the physicist was not allowed to measure the frequency? One could think that the radiation is coming from a small piece of radioactive material placed insight the “reactor”. In this case measuring the frequency could have revealed which radioactive element is used to emit the radiation, in case the gamma rays frequency spectrum is equal to the emission spectrum of a known radioactive element.
So, assuming that one of the goals of the demo was to demonstrate that this is not an energy scam, in my opinion it was not a good idea to forbid the measure of the gamma frequency.
Thank you for the attention, best regards
Luca
Hello Professors,
Best of luck.
Thanks
Congratulations Mr Rossi and co.
I hope that You and your crew scare the hell out of the oil companies!
//BR Henrik
Rossi, in order to gain more credibility, You should publish some material about the ‘two years’ running prototype.
Best regards
Good morning dott. Rossi,
this is to kindly have some infos about the device and it’s commercialization in Italy. I’m interested in investment/buying as private citizen and I’ll be very glad if you can provide some infos more to my e-mail address.
Best regards,
Lorenzo
Venezia
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your extensive reply.
I have to assume though that to some degree you have misunderstood my considerations.
First of all, I want to express and stress that I am 1000 times more convinced of your own device than even you and your colleague yourselves are.
That is because I know of other devices, with similar selfrunning characteristics in the same degree of 100 times or more the articifial power input.
So I have not the least of doubt your reactor works and produces precisely what you tell. I truely belief in all of the claims.
And thus that there is no exotic or hidden device responsible for the claims.
The only thing different is, that the explanation may be found in a very different direction, than you currently hold or tend to think of.
My view is: as you mention, there is indeed impressive surplus of output energy produced over the supplied artificial input, but this is all within unity (no overunity).
The explanation overlooked, is the properties of contrapped air, containing bits of water vapor and Argon.
There is almost no closed system in the world, that does not contain somehow, some tiny amount of contrapped air, and thus tiny bits of water vapor and Argon (noble gass).
So it is almost impossible to rule any contrapped normal air out.
Otherwise you are suggesting then: by using an extremely effective vaccuum pump, even the least chance of contrapped air, is entirely ruled out.
If so – you have used such effective vaccuum pump -, all what I wrote is indeed probably in vain.
But if the vaccuum pump used has of average make or no vaccuum pump used at all, there is every reason, to take the following into utmost careful consideration.
KEY QUESTION:
I take it that by absence of ‘exotic devices’, you meant absence of external contaminations through air, such as absence of any water vapor.
In other words: closed system, containing no air
In Joseph Papp’s device, already very little noble gass (Argon) is sufficient for huge labor effect or non-reacting combustion.
Since Argon in air has non-reactive properties, it lasts and only a tiny amount of Argon is sufficient to keep processes going for many months if not years.
I am not speaking of any sort of exotic “device”, but simply a possible closed system, that has air inside, with both water vapor and some little amount of Argon, which are both natural in open air.
It seems almost impossible to rule out any air somehow contrapped within the closed system. Even a tiny bit, could be sufficient to make labor process last for several weeks continuing.
It is therefore important to know absolutely for sure, because if even a tiny bit of air can not be ruled out, there lies a possible logical explanation for the measured high amount of surplus output over articial input.
In no way am I suggesting of an external, exotic DEVICE. Many critical people like to think of hidden devices, but I am not suggesting such at all. On the contrary: even a tiny bit of normally contrapped air within the closed system, can already contain sufficient amount of Argon noble gas, to cause the same huge surplus to artificial input, that made the Joseph Papp engine selfrunning or very powerful perpetuum mobile.
Thank you for being specific on the chance of any normal air that may be contrapped in the closed system.
John
I MISSED WITH A WRONG CLICK A QUESTION OF A READER, BUT I REMEMBER THE QUESTION, WHICH IS:
WHICH KIND OF PUMP WAS THAT YOU USED TO FEED THE WATER TO THE REACTOR DURING THE TEST?
ANSWER: THE PUMP IS A PERISTALTIC PUMP. THE FLOW OF WATER HAS BEEN MEASURED BEFORE TURNING ON THE REACTOR BY THE PROFESSORS WHO MADE THE TEST, BY OPENING THE CIRCUIT AND CHRONOMETRING THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT FILLED UP A RESERVOIR OF 1 LITER. THEY REPEATED THE MEASUREMENT THREE TIMES.
APART THE PUMP, THEY ALSO WEIGHTED THE HYDROGEN TANK BEFORE AND AFTER THE TEST, TO MEASURE THE REAL HYDROGEN CONSUMPTION, WEIGHTED THE REACTOR BEFORE AND AFTER THE TEST, TO BE SURE THAT THE REACTOR WAS ALREADY FILLED UP WITH WATER BEFORE THE START UP (OTHERWISE THE MEASUREMENT COULD HAVE BEEN FALSATED). ALL THE OTHER INSTRUMENTATION WAS OF THEIR PROPERTY AND INSTALLED BY THEMSELVES.
SORRY FOR THE LOST MESSAGE, BUT HERE ARE ANYWAY THE REQUESTED INFORMATIONS.
ANDREA ROSSI
Dear Julian Brown:
Very interesting, I will work on this.
Warm regards,
A.R.
Dear Mr Ramon Fernandez (and Others):
Please for such inquiries email to
stsalikoglou@gmail.com
Mr. Lande,
please see the answer given above to same question from Pierre Carbonelle
Warm regards,
A.R.
Dear Mr Lande
Yes, but a continuous drive is necessary for safety issues.
A.R.
Dear Mr John Boanerges,
I want to answer you very briefly to answer also to many other similar considerations:
During the test of the 14th, before turning on the reactor the Professors who made the test have controlled the absence od exotic devices. By the way, they had tested previously the reactor one month before (see the report), to know better about it.
By the way, we are manufacturing our 1 MW plant, which will go in operation pretty soon, 24 hours per day, so that all these considerations will be deleted.
And the attempts we are fighting against to try to block the evolution of this tech will be deleted too.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
L.S.,
What can be told about the air contained in the device?
As you may know dr. Detleif Lohse discovered noble gas Argon – contrapped/dissolved in water – to play key role in sonoluminescence phenomenon.
This discovery may somehow be linked to extraordinary claims once held by Joseph Papp, who combined two or more noble gasses as selfrepellent non-reactive in combusting process.
Similarly the Z-pinch machine of Sandia Labs could also have dissolved Argon as responsible for higher measured output than articial X-Ray input (after sunlike hot-ice producing process is turned off).
Here also, in your device, there might be developing a duo noble gass interaction, responsible for external energy being drawn then, directly from gravition wave field, through sub-atomic geometrical disposition, that seeks most efficient space occupation.
If so all are looking in wrong directions, for the explanations. Nothing of the type of nuclear exchange, but simply subatomic geometrical displacement effects caused by excitations of duo noble gass in confined condition. In your case: Helium from Hydrogen-ion doubling in exchange with Nickel ions, fighting/competing with Argon’s geometrically ideal space occupation properties, causing huge labor, drawn directly from gravitational wave field or graviton-exchange through subatomic nuclei spin-characteristics, or quark-aligments.
Now in normal air the density of Argon is very low.
This device would become selfdestructing by massive explosion if instead of hydrogen, a noble gass would be used, other than Argon, to create duo-noble gass system.
But such would proof the principle once before claimed by Joseph Papp to have huge surplus outputs over artificial input of energy.
My guess is, it is the very same process, but in a different setup with very little Argon contained compared to the setup used by Papp.
So the advantage from a green sustainability point of view then, would indicate a preference for Papp’s system, involving no hydrogen, but small amount of non-reacting Argon & Helium &/or Xenon etc., that do not need to be refilled or refueled, but as selfrepelling remain non-reactive during combustion process.
It must be noted that in Papp’s combustion engine design, the valve chamber is put under pressure, so as to support the selfrepelling features of such duo noble gass mixture after geometrical expansion has reached critical point of labor, to compress back to initial volume.
The expired patents of Joseph Papp, can be found easily on the web.
He too did not know how to explain the effect of amazing duo noble gass expansion. My assumption is, he also filled the valve chamber with a few drops of water. In air, water is also present.
At the time of Papp, Lohse had not yet discovered the role of Argon in sonoluminscence ( or the damage of ship hulls from cavitation effects caused by propellors, that might involve Argon interaction, rather than pure surface tension buoyancy processes .)
One could call it confined duo noble gass subatomic geometrical rollercoaster effect, drawing from gravitiational wave field displacement.
To measure discrete properties of this supra geometrical rollercoaster effect, one could use valve chambers in different alignments to cause labor to work in different directions compared to earth gravity center. And this shall then be done with three different pressures for the pressurized valve chamber each time. And repeated with different contends of Argon/Helium or Xenon mixtures.
This would result in time and driving shaft pressure and path extension length data, enabling for a thorough scientific explanation model, that can be used for worldwide prototype models for future power plants, to replace all coal power plants and eventually lessen demand for new nuclear power plants.
You know the contained air properties; if it contains Argon and if hydrogen ions might couple into Helium ions, competing for space occupation distribution with water vapor in air, using then Nickel as catalyst to create confined duo-noble gass system, that might draw from directly unconfined/open gravitional wave field, that runs through everything.
Pandora’s box:
Take care with additional testings, for potential damaging properties of duo noble gass systems, as once was caused by Richard Feynman interfering with a demonstration car of Papp, kept under control by VAC computer.
Good luck,
John Boanerges

Why do you need a continous heat input of 400W also during fusion reaction? The input electrical heater should then be obsolete when fusion starts?
Congratulations from Norway!
I hope this is it…
But no gamma radiation?
More tests and reports please..
Dear Mr. Rossi:
Congratulations for your technology.
We are interested in the license of your machinery.
We want to meet you concerning this matter. Our interest is mainly electricity generation, then we would like to buy your machinery as soon is ready to sell.
Please, contact us ASAP. We are in Madrid – Spain e possiamo fare una reunione in Bolonia subito.
Regards
Congratulations Mr Rossi. You may have saved the planet.
The anomaly has a relatively simple explanation:
Effective potential for H in Ni and Pd is very flat because of surrounding countercharge, so ground state of H has gaussian width of about 0.3 Angstrom.
h-omega transition to 1st excited state in harmonic well is about 50 meV (8 THz).
This frequency is not attenuated over lattice cell dimensions, so transitions are unscreened.
Ground->excited —- exited->ground interaction between neighbours causes first excited doublet of two H to mix into bonding and anti-bonding states.
Splitting, large because of 0.3A width, may be greater than h-omega, so bonding state is actually true ground state.
Dipole attraction exactly cancels monopole repulsion at very short H-H distances.
Gaussian tail from neighbouring cell can overlap with other H without any exponential die-off, resulting in nuclear contact and some sort of p+p reaction.
Multisite coherence forbids emission of short wave quanta, so normal n,p, gamma channels are forbidden.
See http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0703715 for the details.

@ curbina
the American Patent Office made some strange mess with Antonio Meucci and Bell telephone patent.. just sayin’..
Marion Macy provided a peport on the Rossi experiment of January 14th, which we would like to clarify as representatives of the Defkalion Group, based in Greece:
” A public announcement providing a more comprehensive overview will be made in the coming weeks by Defkalion- an industrial company. For the time being, it is confirmed that Defkalion will manufacture units up to 20KW for different non-military applications within 2011, exclusively. Among such applications, Defkalion’s units will also ensure CHP or micro-CHP interoperability. Rights and licenses for international markets will be assessed according to ensuing corporate interest.
This is a momentous and exciting historical technological breakthrough, whereby energy will no longer be a scare commodity. The Rossi Energy Catalyzer will provide totally green, cheap, and renewable energy. Defkalion intends to use this technology in a socially responsible manner, adhering to the global energy transition.
Further requests can be temporarily forwarded to stsalikoglou@gmail.com “
No offence to Marconi, but is a well stablished fact that he “borrowed” Tesla’s work. Even recognized by the American Patent Office, which denied patents for Marconi because Tesla had applied the same concepts 3 years before.

Dr. Rossi (You may not have that, but I’ll give it to you!)
I just want to remind you of the chain of development:
1. Michael Faraday – Self Educated, excelent experiementor. Capacitors, improved electromagnetic devices, voltaic piles (Volta = Italian, no?)
2. James Clark Maxwell: Student of M. Faraday, formally educated, 1861, “On Faraday’s Lines of Force”.
3. Hienrick Hertz: Discovered EMF waves, made preliminary experiments. Died young. Academic, formal education.
4. Guiliono Marconi: (Italian, no mistake!) “Telegraph Engineer”…(translation in “modern terms”, Look down you nose and sneer. He’s just an ENGINEER!)
Obtained copies of Hertz’s papers before general publication. Figured out the significance.
Developed first:
1. Tuned circuits.
2. Practical demodulation units.
3. Antennas.
Created first long distance, (miles, kilometers, hundreds, etc.) radio transmission.
Forgotten:
Marconi’s efforts were treated as a “scam”, a “fraud”, almost up to his first trans-atlantic transmission. SO MUCH FOR ACADEMICS!
I wish you the BEST my friend. Don’t forget Pons, Fliesmann, and Gene Mallove!

Dear Sirs:
I accept scepticism, because it is the engine of Science’s development.
Some comment is funny, some is important. But what really counts for me is one only thing: to deliver in time the reactors we have to manufacture and put them in operation. All the rest is chattering. With the reactors we, of course, will deliver also a final, solid theory upon which I am working as much hard as I am working on the reactors, together with the People that is working with me, scientists , managers and workers.
ACTUALLY SOME CRITICISM IS EMERGED, BUT THIS IS NORMAL. WE ARE WRITING A NEW CHAPTER IN THE BOOK OF PHYSICS AND IT IS NORMAL THAT THE SYSTEM REACTS RESISTING. IT’S UP TO US TO MAKE GOOD OPERATIVE REACTORS, BECAUSE AT THE END FACTS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT COUNT. AND FACTS WILL MAKE NEW CHAPTERS OF PHYSICS WRITTEN.
NOW I HAVE TO WORK, WORK, WORK. AND TALK AS LESS AS POSSIBLE.
