Rossi 1 Megawatt LENR Plant
* Original version ~100 10 kW. Ecats in std. 20 ft. ship container.
* More recent version uses four 250 kW reactors.
* Completed over 200 days of 400 day test @ US customer factory.
* Heat is now being used by customer for mfg. operations.
* Performance report expected around Feb-Mar., 2016.
* C.O.P. (Pout /Pin) typically varies between 20 and 80

Nanortech, Inc.
Product: The NANOR (Dr. Mitchell Swartz)
Structure: two terminal quantum electronic component with Pd nanoparticles embedded in ZrO2
insulating matrix, preloaded with deuterium, and energized by applying ~ 1 kV between the terminals.
* Good reproducibility and controllability.
* Reports existence of optimum operating points for LENR reactors.
* Measured power densities (20 W/g) within factor of 2 of Rossi.
Has publicly demonstrated extended operation.
Performance report expected around Feb-Mar., 2016.
Peak C.O.P. (Pout /Pin) = 22-80 (JCMNS 15, pgs. 66-80).

Brillouin Energy, Inc.
Products: WET TM boiler, Hydrogen Hot Tube TM (Robert Godes)
Basis: nickel catalyst + hydrogen + electronic excitation causes controlled electron capture reaction, forming 4He and releasing
thermal energy.
Proposed mechanism: heavy electron is captured by hydrogen nucleus, converting it into a neutron…..
Some similarities to W-L, but also significant differences.
Business target market: industrial boiler replacement market.
Good reproducibility and controllability.

Summary
• Low Energy Nuclear Reactions appear to be real; are probably attributable to something like nuclear fusion. BUT …
• Presence of lattice profoundly affects results; little prompt radiation…
● Multiple labs observed excess heat, elemental transmutations, soft X-ray emission, 4He generation commensurate with heat, tritium production, occasional MeV neutron emission, and RF emission in the HF and mm wave bands.
• SPAWAR, and JWK Internat. and others all observed 100% repeatability.
• Rossi Hotcat tested by 3rd party academic group; 1.5×10^6 Watt-hours excess thermal energy over 32 day continuous run + isotope shifts.
• Hotcat has been duplicated by Profs. A. Parkhomov (Moscow) & Jiang* (PRC).
• Commercial products (1 MW plant) now being tested, customer location.
• E-cats in 1 MW plant were still running on initial fuel charge at 4 months, COP varies between 20 and 80 in self-sustain mode.
• Multiple entrepreneurs now developing products for market.
• Ten LENR patents actually granted worldwide during past 5 years, 5 by USPTO.
• Plans exist to build LENR propulsion systems into vehicles for sale to public.
• NASA plans to use LENR thrusters in deep-space probes.
