All information currently available regarding the "Focardi-Rossi Energy Catalyzer" come from inventors, from a patent application by Rossi, from YouTube videos, and from statements by a few physicists who tried to replicate the principle. There has been no noteworthy reception on the part of the international physics community so far and an attempt of inventors to publish an article on their device in a renowned professional journal failed. Only individual physicists reacted with blog entries and comments (e.g.: [http://pages.csam.montclair.edu/~kowalski/cf/388amplifier.html]). As of January 2011, no proper scientific publication is known.

Focardi and Rossi spread their statements in their own "online periodical" titled "Journal of Nuclear Physics", basically an internet blog, and in Italian journal "Il Cimento". "Journal of Nuclear Physics" used to be the title of a Russian professional journal which ceased publication meanwhile. The involved company EON srl has not provided any information so far. On inquiry, physicist Focardi advised the "Journal of Nuclear Physics" was founded since publication in accredited journals failed.

Focardi and Rossi spread their statements in their own "online periodical" titled "Journal of Nuclear Physics", basically an internet blog, and in Italian journal "Il Cimento". That it is no professional journal is obvious because of the additional title "Nuclear experiments blog". "Journal of Nuclear Physics" used to be the title of a Russian professional journal which ceased publication meanwhile. The involved company EON srl has not provided any information so far. On inquiry, physicist Focardi advised the "Journal of Nuclear Physics" was founded since publication in accredited journals failed.

According to available and partly contradictory information from inventors Focardi and Rossi, the small reactor allegedly enables exothermal fusion. They claim they managed to "produce" 130 kW thermal energy in an extreme case, and needed just 80 to 1,250 Watts to "pre-heat" respectively to operate the electronic control system.
