ECAT Inventor Andrea Rossi
Yesterday, Fox News posted a report on the Andrea Rossi energy catalyzer, which was aptly critiqued by Hank Mills of Pure Energy Systems. Now today, it’s rival MSNBC has gotten into the act. Maybe, the AP reporter who actually attended the October 28th test in Bolohna Italy, will finally be given the green light to file a report.
Italian cold fusion machine passes another test
Despite a world of skepticism about E-Cat and other devices, proof is adding up

Italian physicist and inventor Andrea Rossi has conducted a public demonstration of his “cold fusion” machine, the E-Cat, at the University of Bologna, showing that a small amount of input energy drives an unexplained reaction between atoms of hydrogen and nickel that leads to a large outpouring of energy, more than 10 times what was put in.
The first seemingly successful cold fusion experiment was reported two decades ago, but the process has forever been met with heavy skepticism. It’s a seemingly impossible process in which two types of atoms, typically a light element and a heavier metal, seem to fuse together, releasing pure heat that can be converted into electricity. The process is an attractive energy solution for two reasons: Unlike in nuclear fission, the reaction doesn’t give off dangerous radiation. Unlike the fusion processes that take place in the sun, cold fusion doesn’t require extremely high temperatures.
