Rossi: ‘Hints’ of Electricity Production in Experiments

Andrea Rossi has been a little more candid today about the status of the experiments he is currently running in the attempt to produce electricity directly from the E-Cat. Gerard McEk asked him on the Journal of Nuclear Physics about what he would consider a ‘cigar’ in terms of current testing (Rossi has said so far there has been ‘no cigar’).

Dear Andrea,
When would you lit the cigar for the Electrical Ecat:
1. If the electrical output exceeds the electrical input
2. If the electrical output exceeds 25% of the total output
3. If the electrical output exceeds 50% of the total output
4. Some other goals

Gerrd McEk:
The answer 1 should give COP infinite. Obviously two cigars are better than 1…and counting.
You have no idea how badly we are working on it. Theoretically we should get it, but so far experimentally we had only hints of it.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

I followed up with a question:

Dear Andrea,

If you are only getting hints of direct electricity production from the e-cat in experiments, when your guiding theory says you should get it, do you think the theory needs to change?

Frank Acland:
The theory grows up together with the experiments in a dialectic evolution.
Warm Regards,

If Rossi is only getting ‘hints’ of electricity, it doesn’t sound like too much progress, but it seems clear that he is committed to this project and will continue until such time as he thinks it is impossible to achieve.
