According to a post on the E-Cat Report blog site, Italian inventor Andrea Rossi was in Sweden on July 4 and 5 to enter into an agreement with Uppsala University to perform research on the underlying physics of an invention by Rossi. He claims that his device produces clean nuclear energy.

Professors Sven Kullander, retired from Uppsala University, and Hanno Essén, with the Royal Institute of Technology, endorsed Rossi’s claimed technology in a news story on Feb. 23, 2011, before they had seen or inspected the device on March 29. According to his Web site, Essén is the chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Association, a nonprofit education group well-known in academic circles.

New Energy Times contacted Senior Press Officer Anneli Waara of Uppsala University today in an attempt to confirm the story. Waara sent our inquiry to Kullander and Essén.

“According to Professor Kullander, there is no such agreement or preparing for an agreement as suggested by that information,” Waara wrote.

New Energy Times’ investigation about Rossi’s device, including two reports, is here.

In addition, New Energy Times is preparing a third report, which will be a comprehensive review of the scientific issues surrounding the Rossi device.

This is the second in a series of reports based on my interviews with Andrea Rossi, creator of a device he calls the Energy Catalyzer, or E-Cat, Sergio Focardi, professor emeritus at the University of Bologna, and Giuseppe Levi, a professor in the university’s Department of Physics, and based on my investigation of their claims of a low-energy nuclear reaction device that produces commercially useful levels of excess heat.

A few days ago, a Web site called The Explorer published a story written by Tina Quizon called “Steven Chu looks at Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions Cold Fusion.”

No sources or direct quotes were given for Chu’s alleged interest in “cold fusion.”

Yesterday New Energy Times asked Department of Energy spokesman Jeff Sherwood about the Explorer Web page.

“Secretary Chu did not speak at that conference, did not attend and was, in fact, out of the country at the time,” Sherwood said.
