It is not Loockheed, but....

Magnus Olofsson, CEO of Elforsk -- Swedish Agency for Research and
Development in the field of energy, composed of a conglomeration of
energy companies -- published the following statement on October 9

Nonono, that is another, far more suspicious claim! That is the cold fusion Italian guy Andrea Rossi's E-Cat. And the elforsk results are generally regarded as suspicious; awesome if true, but there are some good reasons to think that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. http://www.elforsk.se/Global/Omv%C3%A4rld_system/filer/LuganoReportSubmit.pdf
Note that they do not seem to have tested for potential attempts at fraud: given the history of the field this should be regarded as essential. If you just make reasonable tests together with the inventor you have a high likeliehood of being taken in, as Keeley and countless others have demonstrated.

Anyone competent in nickel powder, crystals and likes?
