News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Note that the "replication" seems to have been done by an organization that had set out specifically to produce this result and not by any sort of reputable scientists or lab. The announcement here is on the web site of a pro-E-cat book.

Needless to say, don't start celebrating the birth of the overunity era quite yet.

What makes me most happy here is that they are releasing what they claim is a rather complete "recipe"; this should hopefully lead to independent replication, hopefully by sceptics and hopefully many more replications.

"It's impossible to replicate" especially if you don't want to. There always was and still is a very strange negative fervor around this topic on hacker news and if everything goes well I think we should probably dig up all those excessively negative and accusative posts and ask for a follow up. I still remember those "This is a scam ! Rossi is a fraud !" even if no one was asked to invest and no one complained of being defrauded and all the public demonstrations were "obviously flawed" and everyone knew how to measure excess heat better than Rossi.

Let's start the conspiracy theories

Strange? When there is no single proof of it, even by the ones stating that it works and there is no single plausible theory then there is nothing strange in the negative comments about that

yep, denial mode. there is no proof. no one is credible. it's a scam. there is no theory. things didn't happen before we had theory for them. what a bunch of scientific bigots.

Yes, or it is a conspiracy or people is in denial.

How luck we are for having people like you that can see the light.

Time to move on and stop wasting time with such nonsense

Go right ahead.
