Hi, topic just to spark some attention to the subject. I've not seen it covered here yet though it may have been. Still, there is some interesting new research being done and some of you may have heard of it.
Rossi-Foccardi cellThere also were a video recorded at the Bologna University open demonstration with english subtitles but the subtitles seem to have been removed on all those videos for some reason. At least they're not working from my computer so you may have better luck in viewing those, especially if you know the italian language well.
Anyway, it's a very interesting development and I'm (NOT really) shocked this hasn't been covered much by the media. IF this is proven, and yes it does look credible so far with not much against it, it will be nothing short of revolutionary and with a real possibility to solve most if not all of our energy problems.
So from what I understand this is the reaction: Hydrogen + Nickel => Copper
It does produce radiation, for as long as the duration of the reaction. As soon as the reaction is stopped so is the radiation with it so it does not produce radioactive waste but does require a lead shield around the device.
One of the observing scientists who had brought their own measuring instruments to the Bologna test observed that there were no hidden cables to/from the device, but it was still possible to hide something else than what was claimed within it. He noted though, that if it was a chemical reaction it would still be revolutionary because the world's most efficient battery would weigh more than 10 times more and still not produce the energy measured by the observers.
I find all of this very intriguing, to say the least. They say there will be a power plant going operational in Greece before the end of the year, and that a Greek company will sell the device internationally. Having said all this, it wouldn't surprise me the least if Foccardi and Rossi would go and die in some freak car accident or airplane crash and all of this forgotten about.
