Paradigm Shift in Industrial Energy -inc'l updates
A Work in Progress -last edits March 1st 2020
The ideal future is clean and connected cities, with sustainable farms and the "new fire" being the linch-pins. This vision is not just imperiled by Co2 increase. Phase-out of both fossil and nuclear fuels means wasted heat, pollutants and radioactive waste are being reduced. Such reductions happen if innovators, investors and politicians rush newly available solutions to environmental and nuclear threats.With media busy cheering renewable and nuclear fuels, it's hard for agriculture and small businesses to be aware of LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions). Actually, in Beta test today, is an energy source with early benefit to agricultural, industrial and residential sectors. With LENR being prepped for lease to cement industries and other high energy users, adverse climate change will soon begin to ease. Electric vehicles will soon become range-free with a few Rubic-sized SKL electricity generators. Still, we have to be patient; field testing and verification of a new technology isn't delivered overnight.
China, Europe, France, India, Russia, UK and the US must shutter coal and natural gas facilities, else Paris targets are missed by wide margins These countries need to stop new builds and schedule shutdowns of fossil fuel and radioactive facilities, else our wold is fatally imperiled. With failure of containment of Co2 and nuclear weapons, significant carbon and nuclear levies have to be imposed for early, orderly and wide deployment of LENR to have effect.
For awhile, natural gas and nuclear were considered alternatives to coal. With increasing terrorism and in earthquake and tornado areas, they are no longer appealing options. Vancouver banned natural gas in new building construction in 2017. We can neither afford risky rebuild of accident-prone nuclear energy nor tolerate polluting fossil fuels.
In times of surging Co2 emissions and radiation risks, what is needed is a collective of academics, student activists, farmers, business leaders and NGOs to pressure governments to act in the face of mounting resistance of legacy energy interests. North American elected leaders damage their economies with promotion of extractive fuels. If business leaders and informed voters fail to step up, our children will accuse parents of moral complicity in wrecking their health and their futures.
Assuming the Beta cohort includes district heating, cement and steel plants, the attack on Co2 emissions has begun. The November, 2019 reveal of permanent self-sustain operation gives impetus to production of combined electricity/heating LENR units. Indeed, plasma-based reactors of Leonardo and Brillant Light Power provide the test of LENR's market acceptance. Unfortunately, many small business leaders and the general public remain unaware of the arrival of affordable, safe and ultra-clean energy.
For the health of the economy, the environment and humanity, let's try to keep students, graduates, teachers, CEOs, voters and elected, aware of alternate energy progress; hence, a summary of recent LENR advances ignored by mainstream press:
LENR Rubber Hits the Road
1. Industrialists & investors know the energy race is on -from research through engineering to production and distribution.
2. Leonardo Corp has US patent # 9,115,913 B1, effective also in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and all of Europe.
3. E-Cat industrial customers just pay for heat used and are solely responsible for using hot water or steam, up to 600 degrees C, in agricultural, industrial and institutional settings.
4. Twenty to fifty percent lower heating costs (depending on volume of heat used) signals safe conversion of fossil fueled and nuclear power plants to LENR. Compact LENR scales much faster than fission did in the 1970s.
6. Installation and remote operation of compact E-Cat industrial heating devices are controlled by Leonardo Corp who retain ownership of onsite sealed reactors. Brilliant Light Power plans on leasing SunCells. .
7. E-Cat's coefficient of performance (output power divided by input) is 57, whereas Brillouin's industrial boiler has a COP of 3. Since Mills' Suncell is not thermodynamic (heat related to work done), 125kW out of 25kW in, is impressive efficiency of 500% -not a COP of 5.
8. E-Cat's cheap fuel/catalyst charge lasts about a year, and the reactor itself, maybe twenty years. It generates thousands of KW heat in its Rubick-sized reactor.
9. Initial Beta E-Cat customers must have backup of a conventional heat source. If remote control fails, reactor turns off -and if seal is broken, secret interior components self-destruct.
10. ABB ( Asea Brown Boveri) Robotics apparently perfects production lines as well as remote electronic control system while inventor prototypes a direct electricity version. https://e-catworld.com/2018/01/07/e-cat-qx-goals-clarified/ LENR units may soon be in Swedish municipal heating plants.
11. Beta testing debugs remote control and avoids product recall before robotic factories ramp up. https://e-catworld.com/2019/
Current changes to Ecat SK are derived from theoretical considerations.
12. With Non Disclosure Agreements, Beta customer feed-back on reliability & savings will be slow.
13. Both thermal and electric E-Cats have no moving parts, and can be connected in series. Meltdown is not possible.
14. Any features first discussed publicly on an internet forum cannot be patented. Apparently responding to commentator questions with "yes" and "no" is not considered "discussion.".
15. With affordable and safe LENR, reliance on polluting and radioactive fuels dwindle, while those in dire need of clean water, food, and electricity await life-saving deals.
16. As economy moves from fossil and nuclear fuels to renewables and LENR, there's massive energy upheaval due to ease of deployment, safety, savings and wide impact. As gas loses share of energy market, economics of pipeline construction falters.
17. As LENR begins to solve safety & environmental problems, cheaper cleaner means of air, land and sea propulsion plus remediation of nuclear waste and transmutation of elements evolve.
18. With arrival of LENR domestic units, there's not much of a case for fossil & nuclear power plants. Renewable costs drop, but electricity storage costs for no sun/wind days remain high.
19. Burning coal & gas and resuscitating aged nuclear plants to make energy for electric vehicles amounts to heavily subsidized redundancy.
20. Stand-alone LENR installations (and mini-grids) are not subject to broad disruptions by earthquake, tornado, sabotage, nuclear accident -or fluctuation in sun and wind.
21. Hospital/university complexes and district heating are among first movers. Fossil-fueled district heat currently satisfies 65% of Denmark's homes and 99% of buildings in Copenhagen.
22. Germany & Sweden can plug in LENR heating to offset closure of coal-fired power plants. Canada & France can do same with old nuclear, thus saving billions in risky refurbishments. .
23. With Co2 and nuclear doomsday clocks at 11:58.5, LENR may be just in time. https://neuenergy.blogspot.com/2019/03/deteriorating-nuclear-plants-crying html
24. For competitive reasons plus earthquakes and sabotage, governments have little choice but to facilitate adoption of the cheapest and safest distributed energy technology available.
25. Many defend an energy future of polluting fossil fuels and nuclear. Anything coal & gas can do, renewables plus energy storage can do better -and LENR is cheapest, cleanest and safest of all. Survival demands quick reassessment & bold decisions.
26. Those stalling for more proof LENR works, note there are patents, replications, an operating SunCell leased to Department of Defense, and 3 "first-to-market" contenders. With industrial and domestic certification, LENR is key in the climate change fight.
27. The market determines LENR acceptance, as it absorbs all the LENR units Leonardo Corp, Brilliant Light Power, Brillouin Energy -and black-market rogues can produce. .
28. In addition to Leonardo, -Brilliant Light Power and Brillouin Energy have LENR-based carbon and nuclear free, compact energy units being prepped for industrial use.
29. Wind/Solar & mini-grids are spun as savior of poor nations by 2030. But, for lucrative markets, Big Oil/Nuclear ignore prospect of LENR replacing polluting and radioactive fuels by say, 2025. https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Solar-Energy/Mini-Grid-Revolution-Could-Soon-Power-490-Million-People.html
30. In the face of increasing Co2 emissions and potentially more nuclear disasters, and with less than two minutes left on doomsday clocks, a miracle dispersed too slowly is no solution at all.
31. For inventor, his team and first customers, inspiration and initiative favour open minds. The Holy Grail: E-Cat operates without any external power. Informed CEOs show interest in assessing impacts (positive or negative) of yesterday's impossible invention.
32. New designs of infrared heaters could soon be available; all we need now is that elusive Leonardo 10 x 10 x 10 inch (off-grid) electricity generator. Stay tuned for 3rd party test of E-Cat SKL reactor and a Stockholm demonstration. The robotic engineering/manufacturing partner will likely be revealed at the same time.

"LENR poses no threat to global warming. A rational person has to wonder why such an ideal energy source is not implemented immediately ..
The choice: If this energy source is ignored, the damage to the environment will grow until some country discovers how to make essentially free energy... .Or, the world can invest in discovering how LENR works while finding ways to introduce the energy source without causing too much economic damage. This problem is not going to go away by blind rejection.."

"In August 2018, after a summer of heatwaves, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg, inspired by “school strikes” against shootings in the US, demanded the Swedish government reduce carbon emissions as per the Paris Agreement. She has since inspired a wave of school strikes across the world. She speaks with blistering clarity."

Update # 4 Leonardo's Report of July 9, 2019:
"We already are able to supply thermal energy, albeit for now in limited areas where we are making the technology fit for a massive diffusion.
We are making strong progress for the combined production of heat and electricity directly from the plasma.
Consider that our competitors of Hot Fusion with unlimited funds... have obtained nothing in seventy years, while in 10 years and without public funding we made enormous progress. We hope to be ready with the direct production of electricity within this year, albeit this is a hope; not a promise."

Leonardo appears close to generating electricity to charge an internal battery permitting E-Cat to operate in self-sustain mode --independent of the grid.
Update #8 August 2, 2019 Pro Nuclear Victory in USA?
Whoa! Since when is nuclear energy refurbishment cheaper, cleaner and safer than distributed combo of renewables and LENR -and which has
earliest positive impact on Co2 damage?
ASAP, a joint press release by ABB and Leonardo is an overdue response.
Update # 9 August 12, 2019 DOD has Operating SunCell Under Review
Update # 10 https://www.forbes.com/sites/pikeresearch/2019/09/03/another-california-city-commits-to-banning-natural-gas-in-new-construction/#59fbe88d4942
Berkeley and Menlo Park are first US cities to ban natural gas
from new commercial, industrial, and high-rise apartment buildings.
Natural gas is no longer an appealing option in
earthquake prone regions. Vancouver banned it in new construction in 2017, -perhaps with LENR in mind.
"In 1989, Andrea Rossi was arrested and eventually tried 56 times for fraud charges related to his fuel production business, Petroldragon. Years later, he was vindicated when he was acquitted of nearly every charge... and, as the extensive investigations following his arrest would prove, all Petroldragon’s operations had been regulated, controlled and taxed appropriately by the Italian Government, and all its raw materials and finished products were analysed by the Ministry of Finance."
"The technologies developed at Petroldragon continue to be used today in biodiesel production. "
