Just received from Andrea Rossi — a corrected version of his report. He said he had sent the previous one accidentally, thinking it was the final version:
LEONARDO CORPORATION
REPORT ON THE INTERNAL TEST PERFORMED ON THE “HOT CAT”
Report date: October 9th 2012
NOTICE : THIS REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEONARDO CORPORATION, NOT BY A THIRD PARTY. TESTS PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY WILL BE RELEASED UPON COMPLETION OF THE SAME.
IN THE PRESENT REPORT, WE ARE PRESENTING DATA OBTAINED BY US THROUGH A PARALLEL TEST PERFORMED WITH THE SAME INSTRUMENTATION USED BY SAID THIRD PARTY, ON THE SAME REACTOR, THE SO-CALLED “HOT CAT”.
PLEASE CONSIDER THESE FIGURES AS THOSE WE REASONABLY EXPECT TO SEE CONFIRMED IN THE FORTHCOMING INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY TEST.
THE REACTOR WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE USA.
MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTATION WAS CHOSEN SUBSEQUENTLY TO THE SWEDISH TEST PERFORMED ON SEPT. 6TH.
MEASUREMENTS WERE THEREFORE PERFORMED WITH THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE PRECISION, AVOIDING THE USE OF AMP CLAMPS AND VOLTMETERS, IN PLACE OF WHICH THE INSTRUMENT DESCRIBED IN ATTACHMENT # 2 (MODULATED BY A VARIAC INSTEAD OF A TRIAC POWER SOURCE) WAS USED.
DATA
Please take note of the data format: a period “.” is used to indicate the decimals and a comma “,” to indicate the thousands, not vice versa as in many countries; for instance, 2,000.00 means “two thousand point zero hundredths”.
REACTOR DESCRIPTION
The reactor is a cylinder having the following dimensions:
Length: 33 cm
Diameter: 8.6 cm
(See photos in the Penon Report attached)
Surface: 891 cm2
The internal cylinder has been eliminated; energy measurements were performed on the external surface only, through the Stephan-Boltzmann equation.
Weight without charge: 4331 g
Weight before test: 4351 g
Weight after test: 4350 g
Charge weight: 20 g
Test started: Sept 25th at 08.00 AM
Test completed: Oct 9th at 08.00 AM
Total duration of the test: 336 hours
OPERATION
Time from reactor startup to full power: 4 hours
Reactor shutdown time: 4 hours
Net operation time for stabilized reactor: 328 hours
TEMPERATURES
Average room temperature: 25 °C
Temperature reached after 4 hours: 1050 °C
Average temperature for the following 328 hours: 1050 °C
POWER CONSUMPTION
Self-sustaining mode operation, total time: 118 hours
Peak power consumption: about 5 kW
Average power consumption: about 2.4 kW (two point four kW)
TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMED
kWh 278.4
ENERGY PRODUCED
T(°K)4 = 2.838 * 1012
Wh = 2.838 * 1012 * 5.67 * 10-8 * 8.91 * 102 * 10-4 = 14.337 Wh * h-1 (fourteen point three hundred and thirty-seven kWh per hour)
TOTAL ENERGY IRRADIATED
kWh 3.268
COP
3.268/278.4 = 11.7 (eleven point seven)
POWER DENSITY
163.4 MW * kg-1 (one hundred and sixty-three point four MWh per kg)
(see the Ragone Plot at p. 15 of the Penon Report attached)
INSTRUMENT USED FOR MEASURING
TEMPERATURE ON THE EXTERNAL SURFACE:
Optris PI 160 Camera (see Attachment 1)
INSTRUMENT USED FOR MEASURING POWER
CONSUMPTION DURING THE TEST
Tursdale Technical Services, PCE-830 (See Attachment 2)
EXTERNAL REACTOR SURFACE COATING
Black paint, proprietary formulation, resistant up to 1200° C, made specifically for Leonardo Corp. by Universokrema, Treviso, Italy.
This test is under scrutiny by an independent third party.

[...] [UPDATE] Andrea Rossi Provides Corrected Pordenone Hot Cat Report | E-Cat World Tho è sparito l'accenno alla vernice brevettata….ora è diventata formulazione propietaria preparata da Universokrema resistente SINO A 1200°C (diverso che dire in continuo a 1200°C ma tanto non gli serve) preparata per Leonardo corp. Ergo hanno telefonato a un azienda che in catalogo mostra la massimo pitture resistenti sino a 600°C hanno chiesto potreste farci 5 kh di nero ad alta temperatura? E la Universokrema, piccola realta ma decisamente valida li ha fatti spediti e fatturati. [...]
Frank,
The Power Density of the HOT-CAT, as listed, is in error.
It is NOT Power Density, but Energy Density. If the HOT-CAT ran ten times as long, the energy density would be ten times as much. The source of the error is the typo of listing the Energy Density as 163.4 MW per Kg when it should have been listed as 163.4 MW-Hrs per Kg. This is ENERGY DENSITY!!
Dr. Rossi wrote:
“(one hundred and sixty-three point four MWh per kg).”
This is actually the ENERGY DENSITY.
I told him about this by E-mail and he is aware of the error, but you should check with him first before you change what he wrote.
The Power Density is 14.377 KW divided by the 20 gram charge or
718.85 KW/Kg. I don’t know how this compares with gasoline.

All this accuracy comments, may be seeking seeking true results …
but, they tend to hide the most important facts:
Rossi did indeed create heat (output > input energy) from the E’Cat.
Rossi did show amazing heat energy output from the recent H’cat test.
The exact data and COP is not that important at this time,
Apart from the errors in the report and the clumsy way it was written (Rossi does need an editor), which I see as somehow Rossi typical, the results of the test have blown me away for two reasons.
1. Apparently Rossi can now run the hot kitty controlled in ssm for an extended period of time.
2. The COP is finally going up which makes energy production much easier and cheaper.
Can’t wait for the 3rd party validated test results.
Zeddicus,
You had my thoughts racing with that “hot kitty” comment!
We might see one in the next James Bond movie
Somehow I keep reading the first point this way:
Apparently Rossi can now run the hot kitty controlled in sm for an extended period of time.
It’s just one letter, but it makes all the difference
