    Andrea Rossi:
    Congratulations on your historic vindication! The third party report was very impressive confirmation.
    I am wondering if you could now tell us what transmutations you think are responsible for most of the energy generated by the Ecat?
    Regards; HRG.

  2. Bruno Angius

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I along with some thirty friends, to whom I have regularly reported over the past two long years, the developments of the extraordinary adventure of your E-Cat, want to thank you for your hard work and want to share with you our great satisfaction and joy for the publication of the third-party report with the confirmation of all your claims – con buona pace di tutti i soloni accademici (I can’t translate it).
    Your exceptional scientific insight and your stubborn determination have made ​​available to the present desperate human community the most unthinkable and providential “wonder of all time”: a clean, unlimited and low cost energy; a tool capable, if properly used, to project our world into a new global renaissance.
    Thank you Mr. Rossi for ever.

    Best Wishes,
    Bruno & Friends

    Dear Mr. Rossi, I’m astonished by the results of the report, as the whole world should be.
    Not because of lack of trust about your previous results, but because I believe that from now on even the most rigid detractor will need to view under a different light your work.

    I wish you the business success you deserve, but I also expect to see a much stronger involvement of the scientific community into LERN research. It’s time to divert a substantial amount of funds (maybe from the useless ITER) to better understand the physical principles beyond your invention.

    I’ve been working in the energy field for almost 20 years, I expect to work for the next 20 around the new landscape that you are shaping.

  4. Brian

    Mr. Rossi

    I was wondering if you might be able to talk about some of the specific results in the third party test.

    The third party reviewers commented that the second test used your more advanced activation system. This system did not generate as high temperatures and had a lower COP (2.9). Has this been consistent with your experience?

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my question

    Brian

  5. Patrick Ellul

    Dear Andrea,

    You designed your reactor so that it is not very easy to access the chamber that houses the secret powders.
    So essentially you put a constraint on your reactor design such that it is difficult to tamper with.
    Question:
    Do you think that if secrecy was not an issue and was not a constraint in the design of your reactor, then the design could be improved and made more effective and efficient, even by a little bit?

    Best regards,
    Patrick

  6. Andrea Rossi

    Dear Patrick Ellul:
    No, not at all.
    Warm Regards,

  7. Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    It’s great to see so many positive responses here. You must be very gratified.

    Here’s something interesting from the Prometeon website: http://prometeon.it/news.php

    Dr. Christos Stremmenos reports that he built his own reactor and brought it to your lab where it was charged with your nickel powder — and similar positive results to your own were measured.

    Could you explain to readers more about this interesting development?

    Best wishes,

    Frank Acland

  10. Peter Fimmel

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    My congratulations to you for such a monumental contribution to nuclear physics, and its safe and practical utility. I regard your achievement as equal to that of heavier than air flight. Perhaps you have captured nuclear supersymmetry with the E-cat. Which, if it is, is perhaps the deepest symmetry in Nature.

    Kind regards
    Peter Fimmel

  11. Andrea Rossi

    Dear Peter Fimmel:
    Thank you, but I do not think our energies are such to make the job you said…even if NUclear is so UNclear…
    Warm Regards,

  12. Dear Mr Rossi,
    Do you think you will able to improve on the results the tester obtained with higher COP with stable temps.

    Thank you

    my best compliments for the confirmations you got on the cats !

    You knew it, but when something is widely recognized by the community and honorable persons it has a different taste.

    All the best, Gherardo

    PS: thanks to you, I’m going to get an overdue pizza from a friend :-)

  18. Silvio Caggia

    Dear Andrea Rossi,
    Reading the thirdy party report, I find a strict analogy between e-cat and the ballistic fly of a mass:
    - if you use too much energy the mass leave our planet (the reactor fuse)
    - if you use too little energy the mass have a parabolic fly (self sustain mode)
    - if you use the right energy the mass enter stationary orbit (infinite ssm)!
    Now, learn from satellite launching missions: don’t rely only on ballistic fly, have a continue control on input energy! :-)

  19. Andrea Rossi

    Dear Silvio Caggia:
    Thank you!
    Warm Regards,

  20. blanco69

    Congratulations Snr Rossi! I read the report today with joy in my heart. Can I ask you Sir, What were your hopes when you agreed to allow the tests? And who do you see as the audience of the report?

  21. Andrea Rossi

    Dear Blanco 69:
    I was sure that whatever the result, it surely had to be honest and really indipendent: none of the Professors are competitors, none made patents in competition with ours, all are totally indipendent from us under the economical point of view as well as economically indipendent from any competitor of us; they have no connections with our competitors, as we could certify. Their work has been hard, very conservative, professional and totally indipendent from us as well as our competitors and from big corporations or Government Entities that want to compete with us and made patents trying to copy us. This is why we trusted them to the point that we gave them our device leaving them totally free in a room deserted by us, at their complete disposal, where they did what they wanted without any limitation put by us. The sole limitation we put has been the impossibility to open the reactor and look at the internal structure of the E-Cat.
    About the audience: I am receiving many beautiful comments, to each of which I want to answer with my personal thanks. Thank you!
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  22. Koen Vandewalle

    Dear Professors, Doctors, Engineers, and all the people who contributed to this historical event:

    Congratulations on your excellent work !

    One order of magnitude of proof ! 1000 %

    It may be of some importance to mention that in both cases of the tests, the E-Cat HT and E-cat HT2 were in the state of “idling”, and thereby already performing that impressive.

    Andrea,
    If these devices get integrated in a sytem that is capable of controlled heat extraction, by means of cooling-fins with measured temperatures, IR reflection screens and flows of different densities, heat capacities and temperatures of coolants, the performance (Power and COP) might increase one order of magnitude again ?

    I compare it with the performances of a modern car. When the engine is idling, it consumes infinite litres per 100km. When I drive my car in the first gear, and let the engine idle again, rolling slowly at some 5km/h, the consumption is about 25 litres per 100km. This way, the engine produces about 150 Watts of mechanical energy. But at 90 km/h, and in top gear, the engine consumes no more than 5 litres/100 km, producing some 30 kilowatts. Most engines have an optimal working point with minimum grams of fuel consumed per effective kWh (mech) produced. The performance at idling does not tell a lot of the performance at the optimal point.

    So there might be a very good chance that the E-cat HT(2) performs even better when under (regulated) load.

    Another analogy with the car engine is that if you push the accelerator when the gears are in neutral, thus wihtout a load, the first thing that happens is that all the power is used to accelerate the engine to the speed where the valves touch the piston and everything breaks.

    So without a “load”, the E-cat HT heats too fast and melts. It is not only a matter of reaching a high temperature, but also a matter of extracting enough heat on a controlled way. The tests were in idle-mode, so it was very important not to push the device to temperatures where a forced cooling is needed to avoid a runaway. A forced (emergency) cooling would have spoiled all the measurements. But the numbers of the reports indicate that COP is better at higher temperatures, and that there is some exponential relationship.

    So, as an engineer, I am very interested to see what the so called “flange” of the E-cat HT2 fits on. The stove that fits the fire.

    Andrea, every opinion can be considered a resonance in the brain.

    Kind Regards,
    Koen

  36. Dear Dr. Rossi,

    The high quality of the third party, independent report was worth waiting for.
    A very entertaining read as well as a scientifically informative report. Congratulations!
    The six-month additional test that is planned for this year is good news, indeed.
    I won’t hold my breath for the USA media to report these great test results.
    It will probably take a Hot Cat with Siemens steam/electric turbine providing electricity to the entire city of Buffalo, New York for 5 years plus a 3-year DOE scientific study to get the attention of AP, Reuters, and the TV News Broadcasters.

    You have made an amazing amount of progress in a very short time, Dr.Rossi.
    You should ask your new boss for a bonus payment.

    Wishing you continued great success.

    Best Regards,

    Daniel G. Zavela

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Congratulations to you and Prof. Sergio Focardi on the release of the Third Party Report.

    Many thanks to the Report Authors who performed all the tests, made the measurements and did the analysis.

    Soon, this process will be known as a normal (not “anomalous”) form of heat energy production.

    Maybe, you can even enjoy a vacation for a day or two!

    But then, back to work!

    Keep on keeping on!

  46. I’ve posted my report about the 3rd party results, including links to other coverage on the topic. Includes the Ragone plot, by Alan Fletcher.

    Exciting stuff.

    VINDICATION! Third-Party E-Cat Test Results Show at Least 10x Gain – The debate about whether or not Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat technology really works are put to rest with a definitive, third-party test report having been released today stating that at the most conservative, the Hot-Cat technology showed at least a ten-fold increase in power over what could possibly have been ascribed to any presently-known chemical process. (PESN; May 20, 2013)

  47. Rémi André

    Tomorrow I will tell to all my pupils (the same that prayed for the success of the 28th of october 2011 test) that the report has been published and that there is now hope for mankind.

    A very big thank you for your achievement !

    Un grand merci de France !

  48. David Roberson

    Congratulations for the positive results! I have been following your progress for a couple of years and had confidence that you would come through for us.

    Keep up the hard but important work as you progress with the design. We are all rooting for you and the world needs this technology very much.

    Thanks again,

    You Only Live Twice or so it seems,
    One life for yourself and one for your dreams.

    You drift through the years and life seems tame,
    Till one Dream appears and eCat is its name.

    And eCat is a stranger who’ll beckon you on,
    Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

    This eCat is for you, so pay the price.
    Make one Dream comes true…

  51. Dear Andrea Rossi,
    Congratulations for the independent test report, it’s a very big milestone. It was also nice to see (from the certification and public acceptance point of view) that they were not able to measure any radioactivity outside the reactor (i.e. that the radiation was not only small, but unmeasurably small, as I understood).
    I see one curious detail about the melted reactor in November: they write that the reactor’s steel and ceramic parts melted at the described overheating event (at the end of Figs 1-2 caption on page 2). I find it curious because the melting point of most ceramic materials is higher than the melting point of nickel. Does it imply that the melting of the nickel does not always shut down the reaction immediately, but some temporary heat production may continue even in liquid metal phase? Or maybe their statement is not fully accurate, maybe the ceramic parts did not actually melt, but were only displaced and broken because of melting of the steel parts? Maybe you can shed light on this issue?
    best regards, /pekka

  52. Andrea Rossi

    Dear Pekka Janhunen:
    To answer to your question I should disclose confidential information regarding the ceramic layers composition and their function. The statement is fully accurate.
    Thank you for your kind attention,

    Dear Ing. Rossi,

    I have seen the third party report. Many, many congratulations! Surely the world must now wake up to the immense importance of your work.

    I have for a long time watched your work with interest, as far as was possible, using only the internet. While I have tended to maintain a certain amount of scepticism, I have felt that LENR was probably real and that your work was genuine. I wish you the very best for the future and hope that the ECAT will bring you wealth and happiness. You deserve both.

    Dear Gian Luca:
    Thank you for having reminded to all of us the name of Prof. Sergio Focardi: he has teached to me many foundamental things, has helped me through all the safety issues, has always sustained our work also in the most difficult moments. The publication of this report has also given evidence that he was right when he believed in the LENR. His enormous Heritage of scientific knowledge, specifically in Physics and Mathematics ( I study every day on his book of Mathematic when I need to go rigurous), his capacity of organization ( he founded the Cesena Branch of the University Alma Mater of Bologna, when he was Dean of Science Faculties of the same University), his generosity in dispensing knowledge has made him a giant of the Italian Scientific world, and one of the most delighting things of my work is to contact him every day to learn something.
    God bless you, my dear Prof. Sergio Focardi.

    Mr. Rossi

    I wanted to congratulate you on the third party report and the work you’ve done. While I have been following your work with great interest because of its tremendous potential, I was very skeptical. If I had been forced to bet, I probably would have bet on you being revealed as a fraud.

    I am very pleased and excited to be wrong in my assessment. Good luck to you going forward.

  78. Dear Andrea!
    Great congratulations for the great report which I just finished reading. Clear concise and irrefutable.

    Hi “Sir” Andrea,
    The next step is hopefully to stop the loosers high energy nuclear fusion projects (like ITER) and to focus the funds to the e-cat.
    The after next step, hopefully will be, once you and your firms have been covered of gold, the I.P. will be donated to the mankind for a faster development.

    Honoured to congratulate with you “Sir” Andrea Rossi.
