NyTeknik published an article today about Ampenergo, a newly formed US company which will be partnering with Andrea Rossi’s, company, Leonardo Corporation to commercialize his E-Cat technology.
Hello, Mike, wake up.
Someone has translated in English the Italian documentary on Andrea Rossi’s cold fusion reactor:
For background story, click on the tags, “Andrea Rossi“, “E-cat“, or “LENR“.

ADDENDUM:
In April 1989, Robin Hanson created this prediction market:
By 1/1/91 a <-1 liter device will have generated over 1 watt of power output more than input from room-T fusion, including amortized power to create/separate components.
I suppose that InTrade will be willing to float E-cat contracts. We’-ll see.
I have posted about Andrea Rossi’-s cold fusion reactor, which inputs nickel powder (with some catalysts) and hydrogen, and which outputs heat (factor 30) and copper. Since I have updated that post, I wanted to recommend you 2 interviews of him, and some physics articles.
The price of nickel is so low (20 euro per kg) that it should have to raise of orders of magnitude to make this tech uncompetitive. Nickel is very common on the Earth, and with a tiny percentage of the yearly extraction of nickel it would be possible to produce all the energy needed in the World.
– How Andrea Rossi financed his R&-D.
The powder has reportedly been used for 2.5 months continuously with an output of 10 kW (according to Rossi). It corresponds to a total energy of 18 MWh, with a consumption of up to 100 grams of nickel and two grams of hydrogen. If the production had been done with oil, two tons of oil would have been required.
– Finally, here’-s an index of all papers and articles on cold fusion, cold fusion reactors, low-energy nuclear reactions, chemically-assisted nuclear reactions, etc.: http://www.lenr-canr.org/

InTrade’s sudden and puzzled interest in… alchemy…!!!

Robin Hanson on recent developments
Robin Hanson created a “-Cold Fusion”- event derivative market in 1990.
Robin Hanson talked up cold fusion in his first prediction market paper.

I’-m skeptical.
Google News is mute.
