The SmartScarecrow Show is broadcast weekly every Thursday evening at 9:00pm Eastern US Time (GMT-5) from http://justin.tv/smartscarecrow

A special Saturday evening broadcast featuring Sterling Allan of http://pesn.com conducting a live interview with Andrea Rossi, inventer of the eCat cold fusion device. This interview runs about 1.6 hours and will be aired as the feature presentation on the regularly scheduled show on January 19th 2012.

If Rossi has indeed managed to overturn physics, he has not yet convinced any meaningful number of experts, and he has not acted in a very scientific manner. He has refused to replicate his sales demonstrations under controlled conditions; he has claimed to have sold some of his machines but declines to say to whom; and the results of his sales demonstrations have been found to have been rigged, in one case with some wires that he said were accidentally misconnected.

@jebesVas - I dont think its a matter of overturning any physical laws - Rossi and others have figured out how to exploit a pretty well understood phenomena called "Low Energy Nuclear Reaction" - Rossi's system uses nickel and hydrogen - there are other systems that use other materials - Rossi's system seems limited to 3x or maybe 4x energy input and may never spin a turbine to produce electricity - other systems might do better - much to learn yet - many working on it

Questions:

1) Does the reaction water require pre-treatment to remove disolved minerals, salts, clorine and other chemicals?  What is the min. water pressure req'd?

2) Can the reaction water be easily recycled?

3) Can a small water tank be used to provide reaction water with a small 2K "pre-heat" generator to use Ecat in mobile environments like heating RVs, Boats, Campers etc.?

4) Can Ecat provide it's own electricity for it's instrumentation for totally off-grid operation?

@yakyakyak69 - I am not qualified to answer these questions for you and I cannot offer any assurance that anyone really qualified will reply to such a query in this venue - you might check the "related article" link in the video description and make your query as a comment there - it may take a while, but its possible you might get answers to your questions

Mr. Rossi seems very credible to me. He doesn't seem to be hiding anything. He answered the questions willingly and openly. When asked about putting the device into "open source", his reasons for not doing so made a great deal of sense to me. When a man works as hard and as long on an idea, he deserves to receive the "fruits" of his efforts. Mr. Rossi, I wish you success! Thanks, Gary for your efforts in bringing us this timely information. Thanks, Sterling, for your part in the interview

@fathershand - a lot of my optimism about this project has to do with the Oct 2011 tests run by hired help paid for by the customer for that 1mw plant - if the customer's paid experts liked what they saw and advised "buy it" and the customer then wrote a BIG check and took delivery, its pretty hard to dismiss this device as wishful thinking - that to me says, it works and makes economic sense - now to get the small ones on the shelf at Home Depot

[jebesVas]

@SmartScarecrow Everyone hopes that clean, free, limitless energy can be found as easily as Rossi says. But until someone proves it, it remains pie in the sky.

[jebesVas]

@SmartScarecrow The primary argument against it, as ably described in a ScienceBlogs article by astrophysicist Ethan Siegel, is what's called the Coulomb barrier, which is the energy barrier that prevents charged nuclei from merging at lower than a given energy level. Copper can indeed be formed from nickel, but only at temperatures and pressures found inside stars that are at least eight times as massive as the sun, and not through the simple process that Rossi claims. NO PROVE!

[notaneoliberal]

@CaveManLabs I can't prove it's legit, but the fact that chief NASA scientist Dr Dennis Bushnell has witnessed the e cat in operation and believes it's real carries some weight. Rossi doesn't say one picogram, he says picograms, but still it's apparently not a lot.

Youtube won't let me post a link, but if you Google Dennis Bushnell/ecat, you can see what he has to say.

[CaveManLabs]

@notaneoliberal Wow, that's a small amout of hydrogen. I also had to look it up in the dictionary! If you believe the BS, then he could make hydrogen in a electrolysis. As you can see, he has a bottle of hydrogen instead. So the theory of using one trillionth of a gram of hydrogen is nothing more of a, "BIG FAT LIE!". What gets me is where is your answers to prove this really works, do you know how it works? If so, prove to the world this works. Stop the BS, ask hard question!

[CaveManLabs]

@notaneoliberal What you don't see is the real truth, this guy is scam..He won't show how this really works,and yet he's claiming overunity. He will say anything, and yes even claiming one picogram of hydrogen. If this was the case, then HHO could be used. You must be just blind as a bat, if you believe that! When someone won't show how it works, claiming that he can't get a patent, tellls me how much of a scam it could be. if it looks like majic,then theirs a trick to it.

[notaneoliberal]

@CaveManLabs "Hydrogen is not cheap". Maybe some one needs to explain what a picogram is to you. I'll save you the trouble-One trillionth of a gram.

@yakyakyak69 True, mr. Rossi in my opinion is very bright person, and im sure he knows one move ahead what will hapen soon on the market. Competition is part of the NORMAL bussines life, and technology is pretty simple to copy (reversengeenered) by Chinese for eg.
