In their report the scientists also describes a third test when the reaction went out of control and destroyed the reactor. In the second test an identical dummy reactor without fuel charge was run with the same experimental set-up and found to produce no excess heat. An hypothesis for the lower value in the second test is that it might be explained by a lower working temperature, on average 302 ☌ against 438 ☌ in the first run. In the tests, about 5.6 and 2.6 times the input energy was produced respectively (COP). “Even by the most conservative assumptions as to errors in the measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than conventional energy sources.” Yet the scientists have systematically made conservative assumptions in order to base the result on a worst case scenario. The conclusion of the report is that the heat production is orders of magnitude beyond any conventional chemical energy source, beaten only by nuclear based power sources. I have earlier reported extensively on the E-Cat in the Swedish technology magazine Ny Teknik, but since more than a year very little new verified information have been available. The report is available for download here and on.

A group of Italian and Swedish scientists from Bologna and Uppsala have just published their report on two tests lasting 96 and 116 hours, confirming an anomalous heat production in the energy device known as the E-Cat, developed by the Italian inventor Andrea Rossi.
