I wonder how the M.I.T. administrators and department heads are going to ignore this one 
A Paper now on Arxiv.org, the famous physics library maintained by Cornell U. , documenting a successful Verification of the "ECat" device (that uses the "Nickle-Hydrogen gas loading" method of LENR developed by several Italian scientists)
[1305.3913] Indication of anomalous heat energy production in a reactor device
A PDF of the paper posted by Mats Lewan, reporter for the Swedish magazine "Ny Teknik" which has been in the forefront of reporting "ECat" news.
This documents long-term test runs with clear overunity heat generation (average of 360 watts electrical input to create and maintain the LENR reaction; for 1,560 watts of heat output).
It takes roughly 1/2 the heat energy to produce electricity using traditional boiler/turbine/generator systems ("50% efficiency"). So the "practical" COP of the Andrea Rossi device tested would be around "2" in terms of actually generating electricity from it. He claims much higher COP's are possible, and in theory it could be so since most of the electrical energy used to maintain the reaction heats the material at the core; and a lot of that heat could be conserved in a properly engineered boiler system.
Add to that, the small amounts of Nickle and pure Hydrogen "spent" in the reaction (the Nickle is actually transmuted into copper).
Obviously nothing is going to happen overnight, but it is time for people to say:
"HEY! You have NO VALID REASON to ignore this anymore!"
And that will be what is needed for U.S. universities and the U.S. Department of Energy to stop ignoring LENR, as they have been doing for years now after it has been proved to be worthy of much more research.
