It seems that scientists have discovered a new physical phenomenon by which a revolution can happen in the energy sector.
The reactor, in which 1 gram was loaded with fuel, worked for 32 days and produced 1.5 megawatt-hour of energy.
In 2009, Italian inventor Andrea Rossi filed an application for the invention "Method and apparatus for carrying out an exothermic reaction between nickel and hydrogen, with the release of copper."
In 2011, Rossi makes a small device which, when consumed 400 watts of power allocated to 12 kW of heat. In a reactor, according to the inventor, contained uploaded pressurized with hydrogen, nickel powder and secret catalyst.
The inventor named process occurring in the reactor, the low energy nuclear fusion (low-energy nuclear reactions, LENR), but Some scientists believe that this is a very different process, and radioactive radiations, typical nuclear reaction, when the plant is not observed.
Many declared Rossi charlatan, even article on energy Catalyst Rossi in Russian Wikipedia
flaunts die "This article about a pseudoscientific theory or concept," but the inventor behaved not as a charlatan - no one asked for money, and, conversely, sold his house to continue experiments.In many experiments conducted over four years. In 2014, a group of distinguished scientists from different countries to learn from the work of the reactor E-CAT, built by Rossi. The device was a ceramic tube with a diameter of 2 cm and length 20 cm. The plant was operated by an independent laboratory and Rossi himself was present only when it starts. The generator is developed in 3.74 times more energy than it receives in the form of electricity. Scientists have confirmed the generator and wrote in the conclusion "This - of course, is not satisfactory that the results so far no convincing theoretical explanation, but the result of the experiment can not be rejected or ignored just because of the lack of theoretical understanding. "
Russia has repeatedly tried to patent a catalyst of energy, but many times was refused because of "contradictions recognized laws of physics and established theories".
The US space agency (NASA) has offered Russia to continue to study in America, where he moved, and in 2015 I got a patent for "a liquid heating apparatus, including a container for fluid to be heated, and a fuel plate connected to liquid. The fuel plate includes a fuel mixture containing the reactants and the catalyst, as well as any other electrical resistor heater thermally bonding conductor to fuel mixture and a catalyst. "
It is known that Russia will build a plant with capacity of 0.5 MW and 1, for unknown customers. There are many pictures of these plants, but if they work as a result, is not known.
In 2015, Russian physicist Alexander Parkhomov able to repeat the experiment Rossi, to build a similar plant. The fuel he used 630 mg of nickel and 60 mg of lithium aluminum hydride.
The reactor - a tube of alumina ceramics.
Parkhomov experiment described in the article: https://geektimes.ru/post/243787. In addition to the article itself is very interesting comments on it. In particular, the chemist sergku1213 makes the assumption that the observed physical phenomenon could be due to the theoretically existing particle hydrino - electrically neutral hydrogen atom.
The entire experiment was filmed by Parkhomov (almost two hours):

Of course, at first glance it seems that if it were invented something extraordinary, then it should be a well-known and available to the public, but the science is not so simple. The path from the laboratory to an industrial plant can be quite long. It is possible that the catalyst of energy is really a discovery that will change the world, and not just another charlatan.
