22 Jul 11 The E-Cat of Andrea Rossi and Focardi: a new Cold Fusion LENR Technology

Andrea Rossi might just be the man to put an end to the controversy surrounding cold fusion process, not to mention put an end to the world’s energy problems. With fellow physicist Sergio Focardi and his team, they have come up with an Energy Calatyzer, a reactor which fuses nickel and hydrogen to produce energy. The E-Cat produces 10kW on average and can produce a maximum of 15,000 watts when an input of 400 watts is used. It is interesting because in various demos done, the energy output has been consistent. In one test, the 15,000 watt optimal output was realized using only 80 watts of input energy.

The E-Cat of Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi: a new way to produce energy usint LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction)

Many have expressed doubt that this new invention will last, largely because cold fusion inventions in the past did not endure the test of time. In fact, most could not yield replica results in a test. But Rossi and team seem to know they have a gem. They have worked on this particular project for years, so it beats logic to assume they would take the entire world for a ride. I don’t think they would go as far as signing up for a 1megawatt plant with their first client if they knew what they had was a bluff.

The 1MWplant is being built in Greece for Defkalion Green Technologies and is projected to produce 300,000 10kW a year. That is an impressive amount of energy, given that nuclear plant power is only in thousands of megawatts. Larger plants of Energy Catalyzer will have the capacity to produce more energy than is produced by nuclear plants. The E-Cat will go on sale under the trade name Hyperion and Defkalion will be the first company to test and enjoy the benefits before a roll out plan is adopted.

The environmental benefits of Rossi’s E-cat are immense. Hydrogen fusion carries zero risk of producing nuclear waste and is thus a safer process. This alone is enough to make anyone with control of nuclear power worried because it could mean a revolutionary shift from nuclear power use to the new E-Cat produced energy. The potential for this is high and even though the reactor will initially be used for heating only, it is still the best option of alternative energy. AmpEnergo, a US company, knows this too well and has already signed an investment agreement with Engineer Rossi, to process the royalties for sales of Energy Catalyzer products and licenses sold in America.

28 Sep 07 Advertising on MySpace

Off all the new innovations on the internet, the one that is most talked about is MySpace. Everyone is interested in MySpace, all for different reasons.

Those who participate in MySpace, which is no more than the internet equivalent of a village town square, MySpace provides web space for those who want to create their own websites, love the sense of community it brings. Observers love to watch the ‘village’ in action and are also potential buyers of products touted on the various sites. Those in the trade business, people with things to sell, have shown that it’s a brand new template for marketing material. Last are the advertisers, they are learning to love the enormous potential found in gathering crowds of like minds.

The reason why advertising on MySpace works is that it provides sellers with a location to find the right buyers. MySpace is designed as a community and the communities have developed around interests. So if 100 visitors are gathered at a particular site devoted to gardening for example, potential advertisers of gardening products have found their lock and key.

There are other plusses to advertisers in this new game. MySpace, unlike most other sites devoted to member like gatherings, does not charge a fee to post a site. This eliminates the typical overhead costs associated with marketing a product.

Advertisers are also offered the chance to use banner ads on various MySpace pages. This is a fee based service and does cost the advertiser money, but on the plus side, there are few opportunities which allow an advertiser to get as close to their target audience as one that MySpace provides.

In order to sell on MySpace it is best to follow the protocol of others. Products or services are most often sold subtly, through community forums on the site, which breeds good word of mouth. Those who have traditionally participated in MySpace are doing so because they want to network with others and are not there to buy or sell necessarily. But if the friends they meet on the site tout a product outright, creating sites, which sell that product make it easy for the product to move.

Providing services has also found a new and effective site in MySpace. The site can be used to help advance or publicize an event, can promote a song, anything that might be sold in the commercial marketplace has a place here.

It is interesting to note that MySpace has become popular with the enetertainment industry as a smart, cheap vehicle to promote new talents, this includes those in film and TV, as well as music and the arts.
