The best experimental evidence and the clearest theory for low-energy nuclear reactions suggest that the physical mechanisms for LENRs are not a simple single-step process, but rather a network comprising a variety of possible reaction pathways. On Jan. 12, 2012, … Continue reading →

Feb. 11, 2012 University of Missouri Gets $5.5 Million for LENR The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that Sidney Kimmel, the philanthropist who funded Energetics Technologies, donated $5.5 million to the University. Feb. 12, 2012 Vice Chancellor Duncan to Purchase Two … Continue reading →

National Instruments, a company that manufactures technical test equipment and software, today denied having any business relationship with Andrea Rossi, the inventor of the “Energy Catalyzer.” Several weeks ago, Rossi wrote that National Instruments was working with him on his … Continue reading →

Yesterday New Energy Times reported that Andrea Rossi never shipped his one-megawatt “Energy Catalyzer” to his unidentified customer because of a gasket problem. But today we learned from readers that Rossi had, in fact, told his fans that he had … Continue reading →

New Energy Times has learned that Andrea Rossi’s one-megawatt “Energy Catalyzer” never shipped to his unidentified customer. The reason: leaky gaskets. A Jan. 12, 2012, promotional video on Rossi’s Web site, Ecat.com, shows the same 1MW E-Cat sitting in the … Continue reading →

The Florida-based Leonardo Corporation has purchased the rights to Andrea Rossi’s “Energy Catalyzer” device. According to Swedish journalist Mats Lewan, Rossi and his wife, Maddalena Pascucci, each own 50 percent of the company. According to a Jan. 26, 2012, document … Continue reading →

Yesterday, New Energy Times obtained and published an invoice for $130,00 from Andrea Rossi, inventor of the “Energy Catalyzer” issued to an Australian man named Solihin Millin. This is a follow-up to that article, “Rossi: No Need for $1 Million, … Continue reading →

We suggest that readers who are not familiar with the Rossi story look at the following New Energy Times articles for background: Report #4: Rossi’s NASA Test Fails to Launch University of Bologna Terminates Relationship With Rossi The Failure of … Continue reading →

New Energy Times received an e-mail from Dick Smith, an Australian businessman. He has offered to pay Andrea Rossi $1 million for a successful test of his device. We don’t wish to comment about Smith’s offer, however, we are providing … Continue reading →

An Australian believer in Andrea Rossi’s “Energy Catalyzer” has failed to obtained money to acquire the Australian rights to Rossi’s device. Solihin Millin, from Murwillumbah, Byron Bay, Australia, asked potential investors for money to acquire the Australian rights to Rossi’s … Continue reading →

Yesterday, the Columbia Daily Tribune announced that philanthropist Sidney Kimmel had given $5.5 million to the University of Missouri to study low-energy nuclear reaction research. In a follow-up story today, the Tribune reports that Rob Duncan, vice chancellor for research … Continue reading →
