Italian commercial cold fusion saga continues with new papers released

    A couple of weeks ago we reported that the Italian inventor Andrea Rossi has announced that he has a commercial ready cold fusion reactor that is safe and reliable, capable of producing 10 kW of heat; and is in process of going into production, with a 1 MW plant being built ganging 125 of these units together.

    Rossi has allowed outside scientists to perform tests on the module and report on their findings. Papers on these tests have begun to emerge.

    In a paper that came out Monday morning (Italy time), Prof. Giuseppe Levi of the University of Bologna describes two experiments. One was performed in December of 2010 and the other on January 14 of 2011, during the public demonstration and press conference. In both experiments Andrea Rossi's cold fusion reactor is tested to determine if more energy is output than input. The results are clear that in both tests much more energy was produced than was put into the system.

    In the first test, Levi reported that Rossi's device actually self-sustained for approximately 15 minutes after all power was cut, until they had to stop the reactor by applying additional cooling water. When reading the document one may realize that the output energy for the second test is missing. However, this information has already been posted and was over 10KW.

    What's Santy bringin' ya fer Christmas?

    I believe Dr. Giuseppe Levi's Phd is in the philosophy of science.

    There are two things to be expected from a fusion reaction. A release of neutrons, and x-rays.

    Thin foil will not stop those X-rays - though I don't think Rossi has anything to worried about.

    Dr. Giuseppe couldn't measure any radiation above background.

    As for neutrons - Dr. Giuseppe didn't find any either.
    From the measures it is shown that there is no evidence, within the bounds of the instruments presented before, of meaningful differences in the measured values compared to the background environmental radiation.

    Rossi rumbles on.
