It is not only statistically (nearly) impossible that after an alleged fusion reaction with copper as fusion product an "used" sample will show the same isotope ratio as found in nature. Further considerations about the sample analysis expose insurmountable obstacles to the possibility of fusion:<br>In theory, the stable copper isotopes 63Cu and 65Cu might be a result of fusion of hydrogen and nickel isotopes 62Ni and 64Ni (add one proton each). But according to the Swedish Institute that analysed the samples the unused nickel sample just contained 4.5% of these stable nickel isotopes in sum. Assuming the unlikely case all nickel 62 and nickel 64 atoms were fused with a proton (hydrogen nucleus), the amount of copper would not amount to even 10% of the resulting mass. An alternative reaction chain with unstable isotopes is impossible based on the measured isotope ratios and the absence of radiation: It would be possible to assume nickel 58 as starting isotope which would become copper 59 and decay to nickel 59. Which in turn would become copper 60 and decay to nickel 60 and so on. In the end, the stable copper 63 would be formed. But this would necessitate a completely different copper isotope ratio then found in the analysis.

==experiments in april 2011==

The days 19 and 28 of april, two further tests were performed in presence of swedish journalist Mats Lewan (Nyteknik). The apparatus was heating water and seemed to produce some steam on some occasion. According to Lewan, heating power was only 315 W. Rossi claimed, that heat produced would amount to more than 2 kW. There is no published report so far. Lewan released two pdf file relating to the tests.([http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3166567.ece/BINARY/Report+test+of+E-cat+19+April+2011.pdf] [http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3166569.ece/BINARY/Report+test+of+E-cat+28+April+2011.pdf]). He made also a video of the test of 28th of april.<ref>http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3166451.ece</ref>.
