E-cat: Will the University of Bologna do more tests on Rossi's cold fusion?

    A new interest on the part of the University of Bologna in Rossi's E-Cat? Apparently there may be new tests soon

    Like a rubber band, Andrea Rossi and the University of Bologna. First close, then more and more distant, but perhaps once again close to an agreement. With a communique released a few weeks ago by the University of Bologna, the university revealed that it "was not involved in the experiments onE-Cat conducted by the company Leonardo Corp. owned by Andrea Rossi “.





    But now it looks like something has changed. There would even be a strong interest of the university in the miracle machine, and its surprising (perhaps) results. Apparently, in fact, it will be theAlma Mater of Bologna to verify the functioning of theE-Cat. Andrea Rossi, owner of the device through the company E FA and physics department they would therefore have signed a research contract to reproduce once again the process of energy production, measurement of results and their publication.

    It would have been to reveal it Paolo Capiluppi, director of the department, who al Courier of Bologna he said: "Our interest is very strong, there is a lot of curiosity, but for us only what we can measure is true". As good scientists, the Bologna experts, while claiming to be curious to see the results of the E-Cat, are cautious.

    But there is still one obstacle. In order for the contract between Rossi and the University of Bologna to be considered valid, the payment of the first installment of the contribution, i.e. 500 thousand euros in two years, to bear the costs of the operations. Rossi would therefore undertake to cover the costs of the experiment. “We should leave shortly, in a few weeks - he added Enrico Campari, professor of experimental physics and scientific director of research with Giuseppe Levi -, in the summer we could have the first scientific reports of the results obtained that we will disclose to scientific journals ".

    It could be the right time to learn more about this mysterious object, which according to its creators could revolutionize the fate of energy. Through the new experiments, i researchers from Bologna could finally find an explanation for the mechanism behind theE-Cat.



    However, those results would not be disclosed until next summer. So soon there would be new tests, which will also be attended by scientists from Bologna.

    But this change of position sounds very strange when you consider that a few days ago, Rossi himself had reiterated his intention not to grant other demonstration tests after the one on 6 October: "We are selling systems to customers who do their tests and decide freely whether to invest in the E-Cat or not, based on of the results, without wanting at all costs to know what's inside. The scientific part will be ascertained by the University of Bologna in the most rigorous way possible. If the DECC, or any other public or private institution, is interested in this technology, I invite you to contact me to make arrangements directly with me "said Rossi responding to the invitation of the Nobel. Brian Josephson, which invited him to rethink about Celani's proposal.



    Research bodies and the academic world, therefore, seem to have a certain interest in Rossi's machine, despite the latter having long since distanced himself from the academic world, excluding the possibility of carrying out new tests. But apparently, for Bologna there will be an exception. Unless further denials.
