Andrea Rossi (born 3 June 1950) is an Italian entrepreneur who was convicted of fraud in the 1990s,〔https://web.archive.org/web/20140128085542/http://www.popsci.com/article/science/dubious-cold-fusion-machine-acquired-north-carolina-company?〕 and who claims to have invented a cold fusion device.〔http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/05/22/e_cat_test_claims_success_yet_again/ Richard Chirgwin, The Register: "Italian entrepreneur Andrea Rossi"〕〔http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/tecnologie/2011-10-13/fusione-fredda-sfida-continua-210440.shtml?uuid=AaIpikCE Paolo Magliocco, Il Sole 24 Ore, "Fusione fredda: la sfida continua. L'esperimento dell'imprenditore Andrea Rossi". TRANSLATION: "Cold fusion: the challenge continues. The experiment performed by entrepreneur Andrea Rossi"〕 In the 1970s, Rossi falsely claimed to have invented a process to convert organic waste into oil, and in 1978 he founded a company named Petroldragon to process waste. In the early 1990s, the company collapsed upon discovery that it was dumping toxic waste into the environment, and Rossi was jailed and later convicted for tax fraud and environmental crime. In 2008, after moving to the United States, Rossi attempted to patent a device called an Energy Catalyzer (or E-Cat), which is a purported cold fusion or Low-Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) thermal power source.〔World Intellectual Property Organization publication number (WO/2009/125444. )〕 Rossi claims that the device produces massive amounts of excess heat that can be used to produce electricity, but independent attempts to reproduce the effect have failed. On August 25, 2015, Rossi was granted US Patent No. 9,115,913 for what is described as an apparatus for heating fluids. ==Biography== Andrea Rossi was born on June 3, 1950 in Milan. In 1973, Rossi graduated in philosophy at the University of Milan, with a thesis on Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and its interrelationship with Edmund Husserl's phenomenology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://evworld.com/blogs.cfm?blogID=983 )〕〔 Included was a (statement from the University of Milan ) attesting that Andrea Rossi holds a laurea in philosophy. 〕〔(Herr Rossi sucht das Glück der Menschheit ), Der Spiegel: "Bis vor wenigen Monaten Andrea Rossi auf der Bildfläche erschien. Der Italiener mit Hochschulabschlüssen in Philosophie und Technischer Chemie erklärte, dass ihm der Bau eines von ihm sogenannten E-Catalyzers gelungen sei: ein Fusionskraftwerk, in dem Nickel und Wasserstoff miteinander verschmelzen und dabei Wärme erzeugen." TRANSLATION: "Until that Andrea Rossi appeared on the scene a few months ago. The Italian with degree in philosophy and chemical engineering, said that he had succeeded in building one of his so-called E-Catalyzer: a fusion power plant to blend nickel and hydrogen with production of heat."〕 Andrea Rossi is married to Maddalena Pascucci.〔http://ecat-news.com/whos-who/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrea Rossi (entrepreneur)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
