Two 100 hour scientific tests confirm anomalous heat production in Rossi's E-Cat

Posted on May 20, 2013 | Leave a comment

Reblogged from Mats Lewan: The biggest shift ever.:

Click to visit the original post

A group of Italian and Swedish scientists from Bologna and Uppsala have just published their report on two tests lasting 96 and 116 hours, confirming an anomalous heat production in the energy device known as the E-Cat, developed by the Italian inventor Andrea Rossi.

The report is available for download here and on Arxiv.org.

I have earlier reported extensively on the E-Cat in the Swedish technology magazine

A break-through in "cold fusion" ? At least it's interesting to follow the experiments ....   Unfortunately I'm not educated , intelligent and wealthy enough to copy the experiments as science demands. I'll have to wait for the real scientists !

new chickens

Posted on May 8, 2013 | Leave a comment

Our last chicken died a year ago. What to do with an empty chicken run ? Well it’s easy;  fill it with some new chickens ! So I bought 3 chicken-sisters …

They’re a mixture of Sussex and Australorp. A brown, a black and a white one.

What would you do ?

Posted on May 5, 2013 | 3 Comments

I was on my way to downtown Vlissingen, to visit the festivities on Liberation Day. Then I found out I had to pass road blocks to get there ……

I don’t know why I hate this kind of situations so much. Maybe it’s just because I’m Dutch and stubborn. In my view all the guards in their “uniforms” don’t have any clue what they are doing. I asked one of them why I was not allowed to walk in my own city without being checked. He said ; “We have to do this, it’s for your own safety”.  They even checked some perambulators …. 

 They are the same shitheads as these guys …..”Just doing their job”.

70 years ago, there were only a few who didn’t compromise.

I turned around and went back home …. they can leave the festivities in their asshole ! 

What would you do ?

The sunset is at 06.30 AM , so photographers have to get up early for their “golden hour”. I have a few days off, so took this photo around noon because I hate to get out of bed early  ;-)

Farewell to our dog.

Posted on April 5, 2013 | 8 Comments

The last welcome from Mo to me (coming home after the late shift) was yesterday. This morning Rea came by to say farewell.

Today we all said farewell to Mo. The vet is a very friendly lady. The first injection made him fall asleep and 5 minutes later the second injection stopped his heart. Now I have a feeling as if I’ve murdered my best friend ….. just hoping it’ll pass.

This is a slide show for the ones who knew him.

Bob,

There must be beer where you’re now, so put on a clean T-shirt (G-star RAW) and have a beer. Just relax and listen to what your friends are all talking about.  They know, feel and realize you still belong to their group. That’s beyond doubt !

clothes hanger

Posted on March 20, 2013 | 2 Comments

So now it was my turn …. 

Thanks to all the blogging of velomobile-owners, I was informed of this little inconvenience that the older velomobiles have. For some days I heard a strange noise behind my back, when I made a turn to the left with my Quest velomobile. Two days ago I found out that there was a crack in the “clothes hanger” and I send an email to velomobiel.nl.

Yesterday a new one arrived …. guarantee, so no costs involved. That’s what I call service ;-)  

So now all I have to do is installing the new strengthened “clothes hanger”.

sunrise

It was cold this morning. When I stopped to make this photo of the sunrise, I stayed in my velomobile because of the freezing cold. Positive effect of the cold weather is that the air is bright and clear; perfect for a landscape …. especial during sunrise at 06.30 AM !
