    Dr Rossi,

    Think of bitcoin like this:

    It’s about the “BlockChain” technology behind the coins.

    ** a worldwide payment system **

    There are 6 Billion people chasing 21 Million BTC.

    Eventually, we have $1.0M BTC.

    Best

    Vince and Yuri:
    We are going to make dipole and quadrupole measurements of currents deflections.
    For the H/Li ion current we need a magnetic field of circa 0.1 T
    To achieve a measurable electromagnetic field we will sorround the plasma with a quadrupole magnet with an angle of 67 degrees with the oscillating the field between 695 and 710 MHz and then measure if an opposite magnetic dipole field gets induced on the z- axis of the quadrupole.
    The numbers come from cos30 degrees times hyperfine splitting of 7L1 S2 level and cos60 degrees times the H 1420 MHz line, combined with the spin-speed tilt of the assumed spin of the positive ions and the spin tilt interaction due to the 3 quark structure of the nucleon and the Sigma meson.
    From an experimental point of view it will be also good to measure a variety of quadrupole field parameters, both for static and dynamic QM ( quadrupole measurements ), wherein dynamic means adjustable electromagnets around the E-Cat QX to generate a field and static means neodym magnets.
    Basic instrumentation:
    Oscilloscope
    IR thermometers
    Thermostats
    Adjustable frame able to allow assembly modifications
    Dynamometer
    Neodymium magnets
    Heat insulators
    Customized Electromagnets
    Signal Generator 0.1-20 MHz
    Spectrometer
    E-Cat QX
    Heat exchanger
    Control Box

    @Koen Vandewalle Dec 29th.
    I agree building physical models is a good way to gain insight. The difference being models prove whereas theory speculates. So which is most important?. All theories are nothing other than ideas, concepts of the imagination on the plane of mind, so to prove the concept we embody it into the physical world and if it performs then the concept was correct but the question could be asked, where did the idea come from?. If it came out of a book then it cannot be an idea, so the only other place from where an idea can originate is by means of the intuition which is directly related to a persons acumen and it is this quality which is responsible for creating a debate even when a model is presented. So it seems that where there is no theory, a model that demonstrates a principle is able to be rejected but a theory without a concrete model is able to be accepted. Seems to me that specific intuitive truisms are denied. LENRs being one such truism. Therefore because of this apparent anomaly of the system, within physics, I can now see why Andrea is keen to also acquire an accepted theory. I will continue to share some of my own thoughts from time to time which I hope could help in some way.
    Regards Eric Ashworth

    Dear Friends,

    When we look at the texts and formulas of theoretical scientific papers and try to read them, many people like myself have to admit that we usually do not understand much of it.

    However, our brains are perfectly capable of dealing with complex models, provided they have the necessary training. Just think of a good football player who can kick the ball into a corner of the goal from a random place on the field. Think of surfers who can continue to surf in the ocean under a tilting wave.
    However, these people are not necessarily the best students when it comes to mathematical models and formulas.

    To gain better insight into some processes, visual support with a graphic computer model is a good tool because it helps support our intuitive talents.

    If there are enormous variables in the processes, and if small micro-level variations cause large variations at the macro level in the long term, computer models can not always satisfy. SpaceX can let a rocket land vertically on a platform, using measurement techniques and permanent corrective steering techniques, but they can not throw a glass marble on the landing spot from space.

    That is why building physical experiments is a good solution to improve insight, allowing us to intuitively develop new systems or applications where it is far too difficult to make theoretical, mathematical or computer models. Real physical experiments take into account billions of interactions, large and small, fast and slow, where no mathematical, simplified but perfect formula will ever be able to describe the actual physical processes.

    On the link to a video from the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, very interesting experiments can be seen.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WffR6HrEqTA

    The experiment “the spike” shows that with very limited potential energy: a few dozen centimeters of water pressure, but using specific waves in a confined volume, can create enormous explosions of kinetic energy.
    Only the fields of gravity, viscosity, mass density and an amount of added kinetic energy apply here.

    Only a small amount of imagination is needed to realize that in nanostructures, such as the nickel powder that Andrea Rossi used in his first experiments, there are also many waves that can concentrate energy. In larger structures, such as metal plates and wires, you get less of those special waveforms, and the waves are more random as in an oceans.

    When I want to tell someone about Andrea Rossi’s work in an enthusiastic mood, I explain what happens in this video first, and then I suggest adding a few boxes of chicken eggs and goose eggs to that experiment. Everyone can imagine that eggs are regularly beaten hard against each other, and that even eggs are catapulted to the ceiling of the building.
    A little the same effect as what happens in a particle accelerator in a more controlled way. The same reactions as in the sun, but then one by one.

    For most people, this is sufficient to never doubt the functioning of LENR again.

    The fact that many more fields are involved, such as electric fields, magnetism, mass, but also strong and weak nuclear forces that are then directionally sensitive, makes it plausible that it is very difficult to understand these processes, to control them, stimulate them and optimize them.

    It is by analogy, very difficult to make the eggs to be in the right place when a peak wave passes to shoot them away. An excess of eggs makes that it is no longer possible to make the right waves.

    For our friends here on this forum, this is a fun and comprehensible analogy to tell at the table during the many New Year receptions that we will soon be able to experience again.
    Where the tenor is rather negatively charged in many aspects of the world, this year we get the chance to announce that Andrea Rossi will bring these real solutions to the market massively in 2018, and that from now on there is hope that we will have an abundance of cheap and environmentally friendly energy to help us solve all major physical world problems.

    Best wishes for 2018 !
    Koen

  • Dear Andrea,
    If by waves and antiwaves you mean phonons, remember that phonon is an uncharged boson so it’s equal to its own antiparticle and when two such waves meet, nothing happens i.e. there is no annihilation. Similarly to photons.
    regards, /pekka

  • Andrea Rossi

    Pekka Janhunen:
    Interesting insight. Remains the fact that around 2900 K we could raise virtual waves and antiwaves of that mass. I dare to imagine this is the primordial source of heat, whatever happens eventually. We are preparing experiments to track the “fossils”.
    Warm regards,
    A.R.

  • Dear Andrea,
    My generic comments regarding theories:

    One needs some high energy quanta because one needs something that can absorb the energy released by a nuclear state change as quickly as it happens. In other words, one needs something that absorb the high instantaneous “power” that the nucleus produces when it undergoes a reaction. And those high-energy quanta must couple to low-energy chemical degrees of freedom so that they can release their energy gradually. I don’t think that the nucleus itself can be lured to releasing its energy slowly because there is no way it could store the energy temporarily. So one needs something else that can do the mediating trick.

    In other words, one needs something that couples to the MeV scale nuclear degrees of freedom, and at the same time couple with eV-scale chemical degrees of freedom.

    I have speculated that the object that fulfils these criteria might be plasma oscillations of an effectively massless fermion (electron pseudoparticle) population that for some reason exists in the material. Massless, because then the plasma frequency is in principle infinite so that the medium couples strongly to electromagnetic waves of all frequencies, including gammas.

    Such proposition is difficult, but other propositions seem impossible to me at the moment. There are no high-energy particles in the material, so the necessary coupler modes cannot be any material particles. So the only possibility, as far as I can see, are collective oscillations, such as plasmons i.e. plasma oscillations.

    Needless to say, one needs observational data of isotopes, i.e. data on which reactions actually happen. Then things would start to clear out.

    GD Dr Rossi,

    Cryptocurrency is alive and well and consuming vast energy.

    Bitcoin’s estimated annual power consumption is 31.6 TW⋅h,
    that’s more power than Ireland uses on an annual basis.

    Dear Dr. Andrea Rossi.
    I congratulate you on the beginning of a new stage.
    Congratulations on the upcoming, such a promising New Year.
    You definitely know EmDrive.
    NASA and China conducted successful tests in space. The positive results of the famous “destroyer of myths” Martin Taymar.
    Do not you think that E-Cat and EmDrive are the perfect pair for space?
    Well, I, as a practical engineer, really want to start the production of home appliances for houses.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Nowadays in Belgium (and I guess also in whole Europe and probably also in the US), as many of our big nuclear power plants are old and (normally) have to be replaced in the near future, we have very important discussions about the strategy we have to follow in the near future. In Belgium there are many voices to get rid of our nuclear power plants, and to use as much as possible (variable) renewable energy sources (wind and solar), in combination with gas powered plants to take over when there’s no wind nor sun. But replacing our big old nuclear power plants like that, and because the (variable!) renewable sources are limited to a certain percentage of the total energy need, gas powered plants will have to take over a lot of the electrical power production, and so CO2 emission will increase. This is only acceptable if your technology can take over very soon. Therefore these questions:

    i) Will it be possible to replace the steam production of the steam generators of present gas powered plants (lets say production units of 100MW; 250MW up to 500MW), with your technology, by placing many 1MW-containers in parallel, and so producing the same amount of steam to the existing turbines and alternators, so that the mechanical and electrical installations of present and future gas powered plants can remain the same?

    ii) Could there be problems if too many 1MW units have to work well in parallel? (For instance steam flowing from one 1MW unit to another in the wrong direction because of pressure differences? Probably can be avoided by installing minimum pressure valves in the outlet steam circuit in your 1MW units?).

    iii) I guess you would prefer smaller production units, but i) and ii) is necessary to replace the thermal installation of present power plants.

    iv) Your technology is ideal for delivering the base load (= constant thermal energy production), but is it also possible to modulate, so it can co-operate with variable renewable power sources or a variable consumption of (electrical or thermal) energy?

    v), vi) en vii), same questions as i), ii) and iii) but for – even bigger (up to 1000MWatt and more) – nuclear power plants. (Here the equivalent of question iv) is not necessary, because they only deliver base load = constant electrical energy production which means also constant thermal energy production).

    General Remark: Considering the necessary replacement of old nuclear power plants, we need your technology as soon as possible. I hope you will be able to mass produce in 2019? 😉

    Thanks in advance to answer these questions. I hope you understand the urgency, because I think this is a problem in whole Europe and probably in the USA as well?

    Kind Regards,
    Daniel.

    Dear Dr Andrea Rossi:
    Yesterday in Milan, Italy, I was in a cinema to see a movie (Dickens) and during the commercials I saw a spot of ENI, wherein they informed that they are realizing a technology to make fuels from organic wastes: they say “fuels from apple peels”. Practically, they are copying your patent of 1978, without giving you merit of it. Your comment?
