ABSTRACT
An experimental investigation of possible anomalous heat production in a special type of reactor
ube named E-Cat HT is carried out. The reactor tube is charged with a small amount of
hydrogen loaded nickel powder plus some additives. The reaction is primarily initiated by heat
rom resistor coils inside the reactor tube. Measurement of the produced heat was performed with
high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, recording data every second from the hot reactor
ube. The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large bandwidth three-
phase power analyzer. Data were collected in two experimental runs lasting 96 and 116 hours,
espectively. An anomalous heat production was indicated in both experiments.
The 116-hour experiment also included a calibration of the experimental set-up without the
active charge present in the E-Cat HT. In this case, no extra heat was generated beyond the
expected heat from the electric input.
Computed volumetric and gravimetric energy densities were found to be far above those of any
known chemical source. Even by the most conservative assumptions as to the errors in the
measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than conventional energy sources.
INTRODUCTION
Andrea Rossi claims to have invented an apparatus that can produce much more energy per
unit weight of fuel than can be obtained from known chemical processes. His invention is
eferred to as an energy catalyzer named E-Cat HT, where HT stands for high temperature.
The original idea behind Rossi’s invention goes back to experiments done in the nineties by
Sergio Focardi at Bologna University and collaborators, in which they claimed to have
observed an anomalous heat production in a hydrogen-loaded nickel rod [1-2]. Later, an
experiment [3] was carried out by S. Focardi and A. Rossi using an apparatus with a sealed
container holding nickel powder plus unknown additives pressurized with hydrogen gas.
When the container was heated, substantial heat was produced in excess of the input heat.
They speculated that a “low energy nuclear reaction” had taken place in order to explain the
arge amount of excess heat. The E-Cat HT – a further, high temperature development of the
original apparatus which has also undergone many construction changes in the last two years
– is the latest product manufactured by Leonardo Corporation: it is a device allegedly capable of
producing heat from some type of reaction the origin of which is unknown.
As in the original E-Cat, the reaction is fueled by a mixture of nickel, hydrogen, and a catalyst,
which is kept as an industrial trade secret. The charge sets off the production of thermal energy
after having been activated by heat produced by a set of resistor coils located inside the reactor.
Once operating temperature is reached, it is possible to control the reaction by regulating the
power to the coils.
The scope of the present work is to make an independent test of the E-Cat HT reactor under
controlled conditions and with high precision instrumentation.
