Potential Benefits from Cold Fusion
With Andrea Rossi poised to test what could be the first commercially successful Low Energy Nuclear Reaction power source. I thought that it would be a good idea to make a list of the potential benefits from LENR or cold fusion.
Please note that these are potential benefits some of them might never pan out and others could be years or decades away. There are probably other benefits that I have not thought about yet.
Potential benefits from cold fusion:
- Ending the creation of greenhouse gases that cause global warming which is a direct result of burning of fossil fuels for energy. Sorry American conservatives the scientific evidence is on Al Gore’s side. Mr. Gore is wrong about many things but not global warming.
- Eliminating air pollution or smog which causes many health problems.
- Greatly reducing the cost of industrial production which should cut the cost of doing business and the cost of many products for average consumers.
- Greatly reducing transportation costs which should reduce the cost of many products including food.
- Eliminating the need for the electric power grid and black outs.

- Ending the need for coal mining and its high costs and the environmental damage it causes.
- Greatly reducing the cost of food production and the cost of food.
- Increasing the amount of water available by making desalination (turning sea water into fresh water) cheaper and easier.
- Greatly reducing the cost of construction.
- Greatly reducing the cost of mining and mineral costs.
- Making electricity available to almost anybody who can afford it.
- Ending developed nations’ dependence upon imported oil and putting an end to the huge profits dictators make from oil. This will also take away the funding extremist regimes and groups get from oil profits.

- Greatly reducing the need for oil drilling and exploration including the oil sands project in Canada.
- Greatly reducing the need for natural gas exploration and drilling including fracking.
- Eliminating the need for the massive and costly infrastructure that delivers petroleum products, natural gas and electricity to our homes, businesses and communities.
All of this will of course generate tremendous savings but there will be side effects. Many people could lose their jobs because of this and some people will be poorer. Most of us should be better off however.
Rossi seems to be attracting quite a bit of attention as he prepares for the October 28 test. Thomas Blakeslee’s Renewable Energy World Blog has an excellent run down on recent cold fusion developments. This includes the work being done at Brillouin and it lists the scientists who were present at Rossi’s October 6 test.

Personally, I think the change will be slower and more gradual than we might think or expect at first. So, people working in the field of energy-production, should not be afraid of loosing their jobs immediately… The introduction of the E-cat into the market will be gradually.
Kind Regards,
It’ll depend on many circumstances including how much it costs and how effective it is. One problem is that people will have to see the benefits from the technology to adopt it. I know people including my parents who still don’t own cell phones.
Check out the video at 0:55, it seems to be a half megawatt diesel generator.

Rossi even admitted he used a generator in his blog. I noticed that too. In his post he noted that he had to use 400 kw to generate 300
Sorry for my late reaction, but I didn’t follow this thread for a long time.
To those who doubt and mention the generator:
1. The generator was necessary to drive the air-ventilators that were used to cool and condense the steam (during the test done with air to steam heat exchangers), and the energy consumption of these may NOT be taken into account of the 1 MW plant, because in normal operation, the steam is used by the client, and does not have to be cooled in that way. (The steam is used as process heat and/or to generate electricity (later))
2. To make up the energy balance in a correct way, read also my answer to Matteo on Rossi’s blog:

3. The test of the 1 MW plant was done (and organised) by Rossi’s customer, a company, firm or organisation that still does not want to disclose its name, but as you can see on Rossi’s blog, the same customer already ordered 13 additional plants:

(and in another message, Rossi confirmed that these additional plants were ordered by the same customer).

4. I verified also some of the previous tests, and personally, I’m convinced.
5. Rossi is not interested in further scientific tests, and here he gives the reasons why:

‘Dear Ivan:
We are no more in the mode of public tests, the times of public tests are over. We are manufacturing plants for our Customers, and our Customers will test the plants they have bought.’

6. Some months ago, I verified some of the previous tests, and they were very convincing to me, so I am and remain a strong believer!

Thanks I really appreciate the clarification. Note the skeptics will not be satisfied until Stephen Hawking and twenty other Nobel Prize Winners verify e-cat. Even then at least one of them will be saying that they’re in on the scam too.
