Rossi's cold fusion reactor achieves 15 kW for 18 hours
Recently a technical test of Andrea Rossi's Ni-H reactor (energy catalyzer) was conducted in which a minimum of 15 kW of heat was produced continuously for 18 hours, observed by Dr. Joseph Levi and others. Coming soon: reports from upcoming experiments to be performed in cooperation with the University of Bologna's physics department.

Another test has been performed on Andrea Rossi's Cold Fusion E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) Reactor. Early information about this test indicates it confirmed a large gain of energy over an extended period of time. Could more proof be building that a workable Cold Fusion technology has finally arrived?
Andrea Rossi claims to have developed a practical and commercial ready Cold Fusion technology that could cost around 1 cent per kilowatt hour; with the first 1 MW plant completed later this year, comprised of 125 units ganged together. It utilizes nano-nickel powder, hydrogen gas, and undisclosed (for proprietary reasons) catalysts under pressure to produce large amounts of energy. A successful public demonstration of his technology was held January 14. Now, news about another experiment is being released.
Using superfluid helium-3 to explore new phenomena 15 May 2009 (Volume 4 Issue 5) There are liquids that can climb up the walls of their container like a life form and down the other side. Superfluid helium is the only liquid that exhibits this mysterious phenomenon. Helium turns into a liquid when cooled to a temperature close to absolute zero, and into a superfluid state when cooled further. Superfluidity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that appears in accordance with physical principles that govern the microscopic world, and is a state that we can observe on a macroscopic scale. The Low Temperature Physics Laboratory is using unique methods to observe the properties of superfluid helium-3, and their findings are expected to help us understand the mechanism of superconductivity and the birth of the Universe. Furthermore, the Laboratory has started conducting research aimed at building a quantum computer by manipulating individual electrons on the surface of liquid helium (Fig. 1). Figure 1: Manipulating individual electrons on the surface of liquid helium. Applying microwaves to individual electrons on the surface of liquid helium allows us to excite and control them. enlarge image The world of quantum mechanics observed at ultralow temperatures A hundred years have passed since the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (the 1913 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics) succeeded in liquefying helium by cooling it to 4.2 K in 1908 (K, or kelvin, is the absolute scale of temperature; 0 K = −273.15 °C). The success in liquefying helium is recognized as the beginning of low-temperature physics, a field of research into physical phenomena that appear at low temperatures. Kamerlingh Onnes further tried to cool liquid helium to 2.17 K or lower, discovering a phenomenon that is now recognized as superfluidity. However, the term ‘superfluidity’ was invented in 1938 by the Russian physicist Pyotr Kapitsa (one of the 1978 winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics), who demonstrated by experiments that liquid helium loses its viscosity at ultralow temperatures. Superfluid helium in a container exhibits a mysterious behaviour: it climbs up the walls of the container and down the other side (Fig. 2). Furthermore, superfluid helium continues to flow after being made to flow round a cylindrical container. The flow velocity of a liquid in a normal state (normal flow) gradually decreases and finally comes to a complete stop as it collides with the surrounding walls; that is, when the movement of individual particles in the liquid becomes random. In the superfluid state, however, the liquid continues to flow because individual particles do not move randomly but in a uniform manner. The lack of viscosity is also attributed to the uniform movement of particles. Figure 2: Mysterious phenomenon exhibited by superfluid helium-4. Superfluid helium in a container climbs up the walls and down the other side (as the arrow indicates) because of the lack of viscosity in the fluid. enlarge image The phenomenon of particles moving in a uniform manner as observed in the superfluid state is called ‘Bose–Einstein condensation’. According to quantum mechanics, the physical principles that apply to the microscopic world, particles can be classified as ‘Bose particles’ or ‘Fermi particles’, and it is only Bose particles that cause Bose–Einstein condensation. Here, Bose particles are those in which the total number of subatomic particles within the atom (the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and the electrons around it) is even, whereas in Fermi particles the total number of subatomic particles is odd. For example, normal helium-4 (4He) consists of two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons, which means that it is a Bose particle because the sum is six—an even number. Thus, when normal helium is cooled to 2.17 K or lower, Bose–Einstein condensation occurs, and the helium is transformed into the superfluid state. “When a material is cooled to an ultralow temperature, you can sometimes observe in the macroscopic world phenomena related to quantum mechanics, such as superfluidity. Our main goal is to discover and explore the properties of those phenomena,” says Kimitoshi Kono, Chief Scientist. Using superfluid helium-3 to solve the mystery of superconductivity There is an isotope of helium called helium-3 (3He) that contains one less neutron. Helium-3 is a Fermi particle because it consists of two protons, one neutron, and two electrons, making a total of five—an odd number. However, helium-3 is also transformed into the superfluid state when it is cooled to 0.001 K or lower. The reason is thought to be that two helium-3 atoms form a ‘Cooper pair’, which has an even total number of 10 (5 + 5 = 10), and the Cooper pair behaves as a Bose particle, causing Bose–Einstein condensation. Research into the superfluidity of helium-3 can contribute to elucidating the mechanism of superconductivity, a phenomenon in which electrons flow with no resistance at a certain temperature (the transition temperature). This is because superconductivity appears when electrons (Fermi particles) form Cooper pairs, causing Bose–Einstein condensation. Superconductivity was discovered by Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. He found that mercury shows zero electrical resistance when cooled to 4 K. But what force serves to make the negative electrons bind together to form Cooper pairs? In 1957, three physicists proposed the ‘BCS theory’ to explain why superconductivity occurs in metallic substances such as mercury. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972. Later, scientists discovered two types of new phenomena that were not explainable by the BCS theory alone. One is the superconductivity exhibited by cerium or uranium compounds. This phenomenon was discovered in the late 1970s. The other is high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides, which was discovered in 1986. Today, the highest transition temperature has reached 160 K (about −113 °C) at high pressure. Researchers all over the world are actively engaged in basic studies to understand the mechanism behind these new types of superconductivity and to develop superconducting materials that show superconductivity at progressively higher transition temperatures. They are seeking to develop superconducting materials with zero electrical resistance without being cooled below room temperature. These materials are expected to make a substantial contribution to solving the energy crisis because they can be used in electrical transmission lines and electronic devices without generating heat. Nowadays, new types of superconducting materials are being developed in rapid succsession. In 2001 Jun Akimitsu, a materials scientist at Aoyama Gakuin University, discovered that magnesium diboride exhibits superconductivity. In 2008 Hideo Hosono, a materials scientist at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, also discovered that some iron compounds show superconductivity at a high transition temperature. These studies have received extensive attention from all over the world. Some compounds heavier than uranium have recently been discovered to be superconducting materials. In 2002 a research group in the US discovered that a plutonium compound is superconductive, and in 2007 scientists at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency discovered that a neptunium compound shows superconductivity. “Superfluidity observed in helium-3 will give us an important clue to understanding these new types of superconductive phenomena,” says Kono. Both superconductivity and superfluidity commonly occur as a result of atoms forming Cooper pairs and causing Bose–Einstein condensation. “In a superconducting substance, electrons are significantly affected by the lattice made of the positive ions that produce the substance, whereas in superfluid helium-3, its atoms affect each other to form Cooper pairs, resulting in a superfluid state. The superfluid phenomenon is easier to understand because no other factors can affect the phenomenon. Furthermore, liquid helium contains no impurities because any element other than helium will already have become solid before the temperature at which helium solidifies. We can therefore conduct very precise experiments.” This means that liquid helium offers the best experimental conditions for conducting research into quantum mechanical phenomena. Probing superfluid helium-3 with a two-dimensional electron system When electrons are moving close to the surface of liquid helium, they become captured about 10 nm (1 nm = 10−9 m) from the surface because there is simultaneous electrical attraction and repulsion on them. The captured electrons, arranged at regular intervals as a result of electrical repulsion, form a two-dimensional planar layer with the thickness of a single electron. The planar layer is a ‘two-dimensional electron system’ because each electron can only move parallel to the surface (Fig. 1). The Low Temperature Physics Laboratory has used the two-dimensional electron system in conducting their unique experiments to investigate the properties of helium-3. “Ours is the only laboratory in the world that can conduct such experiments,” says Kono. The Cooper pairs observed in helium-3 are divided into two types with different properties. Furthermore, in the superfluid state of helium-3, two phases (A and B) appear when the pressure and temperature are changed (Fig. 3). The A-phase state of the superfluid shows a strong anisotropic nature because of the anisotropy of the Cooper pairs that produce the A-phase state in helium-3. In other words, its properties depend on the direction in which the atoms move. For example, the Cooper pairs of helium-3 atoms in liquid helium will break when the temperature is increased. The separated helium-3 atoms then start to move—but in which direction? To find the answer, Kono and his laboratory members conducted an experiment with the two-dimensional electron system.

Simply stunning news.
...and I have harnessed it in practice also creating anti gravity.
Can't reckon, then, why you bother posting here on ATS?
I mean, you should be fabulously wealthy!! You ought to be hobnobbing with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet....heck you should be rich enough to BUY Bill Gates and Warren Buffet many times over!!!

If NASA had developed that technology (perhaps with assistance by Dr. Ning Li) then, they would not have lost another satellite to the Pacific Ocean yesterday.

really ??????????? please tell us what EVIDENCE you have for the reliability of this alleged " anti gravity " system
Well dear reader, my suggestion is that you take full advantage of this amazing opportunity by making a financial investment into Mr. Robertson's "Institute for Advanced Studies in the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences (IASSPES)."
They could really use the money as this so-called "Institute" doesn't even have enough cash to hire a part-time college intern, much less a "NASA Scientist." Their current total financial assets amount to $248.12.
No kidding!
In otherwords, this is a deliberate hoax being marketed to gullible individuals who may be willing to pay Mr. Robertson and his buddies the $250 he's charging for you to attend his "conference," or pay the $75 he charges to get a copy of the "proceedings."
The IASSPES isn't a bonafide research institute. It is a paper non-profit with virtually no physical assets, no facilities, no laboratories, and no equipment. Mr. Robertson operates it entirely from his kitchen table in his home in Alabama. Mr. Robertson claims to be a "NASA Scientist" when he was just simply an engineering technician. He does hold an engineering degree though, but so do millions of other people.
The "Integrity Research Institute" is only slightly more credible, which isn't too terribly much. They actually have a small office in Maryland in a small commercial complex that also sports a gas station, mortgage company, driving school, insurance adjuster, and massage parlor.
Wow. Now that's prestigious.
I will say this...IRI at least has a better looking website than does IASSPES. But then, anyone can cook up a fancy looking website these days. And unlike IASSPES, the IRI actually does have employees....three part-time employees that work a cumulative total of 45 hours a week.
Wow, again. Like IASSPES, IRI does earn money by marketing conferences and selling CD's of the proceeds. In the coming year they hope to make a few bucks selling their "PREMIER Electrotherapy Device," whatever the hell that is. Double Wow. So I encourage you all to plow your hard earned money into either one of these outstanding research organizations, although I suspect your odds of making a return on your investment might be higher by buying a lottery ticket.

It's a theory. It was worked on by Einstein himself. A well researched theory.
University of Colorado is working on a practical energy device. But yes it's a theory.

No. Zero point energy is a genuine term in QP that has been hijacked by pseudo-scientists to describe all sorts of perpetual bunkum.
