Indication of anomalous heat energy production in a reactor device
Abstract. An experimental investigation of possible anomalous heat production in a special type of reactor tube 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 from 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 tube. 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, respectively. 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.
È stato pubblicato su arXiv il report sull'E-Cat di cui si vocifera da mesi e mesi. I ritardi per lo svelamento del report sembrano essere nati in terra svedese, forse ulteriori passaggi di peer review, ma tutto è bene quel che "finisce" bene.

Un applauso a Giuseppe Levi (Università di Bologna), Torbjörn Hartman, Bo Höistad, Roland Pettersson e Lars Tegnér (Università di Uppsala), Hanno Essén (Royal Institute of Technology di Stoccolma) ecc. che ci hanno messo la faccia e la carriera, evidentemente certi di quanto sostengono. Certi per via sperimentale, rigorosa e galileiana. Niente a che vedere con le pseudocertezze negazioniste che fioriscono su certi blog e - purtroppo - anche in seno a "parti deviate" della stessa comunità scientifica.
