Streaming video of tests of Defkalion Green Technologies’ Hyperion low energy nuclear reaction heating device could be placed online as early as next week. Defkalion has acknowledged that it will let entities conducting tests of its cold fusion technology place video of the testing online. It will also let those entities place their test data online.

No word on which entities will conduct the tests or what sites they will use is available. Although long time free energy enthusiast Sterling Allan has written that the Greek government will begin the tests. Tests of the Nickel Hydrogen LENR device are supposed to begin on February 24 according to some reports.

Andrea Rossi has correctly and sensibly rejected the latest offer from Australian “skeptic” Dick Smith. Smith is the character who supposedly offered Rossi $200,000 then rejected it after finding technical flaws with Rossi’s ecat low energy nuclear reaction device without ever seeing it. How Smith achieved this remarkable achievement is still unknown he lives in Australia and the ecat is in Bologna Italy. Neither Smith nor his engineer actually traveled there to examine the device. They apparently looked over some schematics.

A very amateur attack on Andrea Rossi’s ecat low energy nuclear reaction process by a couple of self-proclaimed “skeptics” that have never actually seen the device is attracting far too much attention. The most visible example of this attention appeared on the website of a major American cable network called MSNBC. It is apparently a reprint of one of Natalie Wolchover’s Life’s Little Mysteries blogs.

Independent confirmation of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction or Cold Fusion could be right around the corner. Greece’s Defkalion Green Technologies plans to have what it calls seven “well known research centers and organizations” test its Hyperion hydrogen nickel LENR heating device.
The company made this revelation in a post on its forum on Feb. 5, unfortunately the well known organizations were not identified. Organizations in Greece and outside the nation will be allowed to test the Hyperion. Defkalion has announced that it wants independent testing and verification of Hyperion which is an LENR powered heating system similar to Andrea Rossi’s ecat.

Inventor and entrepreneur Andrea Rossi has revealed the scheduled for the rollout and marketing of his ecat low energy nuclear reaction heating system. Rossi is currently selling an industrial version of the device and is planning to bring out a domestic unit this year.
Recent picture of Andrea Rossi notice how tired he looks
Posts at Rossi’s blog reveal the schedule he wants to follow if everything goes well. The schedule is as follows:
- February construction of robotized ecat factory probably located in the USA begins. Note the location for this has not been revealed.

The University of Bologna has cancelled its contract with Andrea Rossi but it is still willing to work with the inventor. In statements published at the Italian Blog Passi22blogspot and the American Pure Energy Systems the cancellation of a contract between Rossi’s company EFA Ltd and the school’s department of physics has been confirmed.
“That I can confirm to the best of my knowledge the Contract Between the Dept of Physics and the company EFA has-been canceled because unfulfilled at the deadline and AGREED that there is no further relationship Between the company and the university based on that contract.
Regards”

Andrea Rossi has come out and denied Steven Krivit’s report that the University of Bologna has cancelled his research contract. Rossi had stated he had a deal for researchers from the University’s physics department to examine and verify his ecat low energy nuclear reaction technology. He has also said he wanted to set up a facility where scientists could conduct experiments with his equipment there.

Andrea Rossi’s agreement to test his ecat Low Energy Nuclear Reaction technology at the University of Bologna has apparently collapsed. There have been reports that Rossi had a deal to test ecat units at the school and the schools’ department of physics would do LENR research with Rossi. Many people thought Rossi would have his technology tested and confirmed by third party researchers there.
The University of Bologna has apparently ended its research contract with Ross, Steven Krivit of the New Energy Times reports. On January 24, 2012, Krivit reported that he had talked with Dario Braga the Director of Scientific Research at the University. Krivit reported that Braga told him that the school’s deal with Rossi was off because Rossi had not made a promised payment.

Part of the reason why Low Energy Nuclear Reaction has such a bad reputation in some quarters is that it is being promoted as “free energy.” This is simply not true, LENR would be cheap or cheaper energy not free energy.
The reason why LENR or cold fusion is not free is obvious. You would have to pay for the LENR device itself and the materials needed to operate it. Andrea Rossi has stated his ecat LENR device costs $1.5 million for a 1 megawatt model. The 10 kilowatt home model would cost between $1,000-$1,500 apiece.

It looks like Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (often misnamed cold fusion by journalists) is on the verge of becoming a viable technology and perhaps a business. A great deal of work needs to be done and the technology’s viability needs to be proved but an LENR industry could be developing.
So what is the current state of the industry? Well several firms are attempting to develop and market LENR devices but only one claims to have succeeded.
