 Terrible translation


  *Jones: Not sure how Google Translate caused Rossi to be translated to

 Rossi is a common name in Italian and usually translates to Smith,
 sometime to Jones in Google.  It makes no sense but it's not unusual.

 NOTHING in this acknowledges by the university that they have been
 paid.  Even if they had, the payment could be to shut them up under an
 NDA while they piddled around with some powders and chemicals doing
 basic research.

 Any money they get from Rossi could have come from investor funds and
 not from a buyer of a megawatt plant.

 Before you can be sure the E-cat is real, you need to know that the
 university has received an entire E-cat device to test.  It doesn't
 matter what size.  But the university also has to state that the
 device works as Rossi says when proper calorimetry is performed by one
 of their specialists in calorimetry.   It has to be someone who won't
 be bamboozled by wet steam.  And the tests have to be more than one,
 long enough to rule out any internal energy storage or generation and
 repeatable within reasonable limits.

 Those criteria are exactly as far from being met as they were before
 that statement was made.

Re: [Vo]:hydrogen refill

2011-11-26 Thread Berke Durak
Here is what happened.

Before the test, the e-Cats are empty of H2.

They weighted the bottle on the scale.  The reading was 13606.4 g.  This is
consistent with previous weighthings, since the bottle was at 13606.9 g on Oct.
6th.

They then pressed the zero button, leaving the bottle on the scale.  They let
the test run.  After the test, they went back to check the scale.  The scale was
reading -1700 g.

Then they went on to fill the report.  As you can see the report had been
pre-printed.  It was to be filled in manually.

But the reporting format for the H2 consumption was weight (really mass) before
test, weight after test.

So they had to add the initial mass and the difference, and that's where they
fucked up, adding -1.7 g instead of -1.7 kg.  Happens all the time.  They even
wrote down kg instead of g.  Obviously, they didn't have a 13 ton hydrogen
bottle, right?

Now, does 1.7 kg make sense?  For the Oct. 6th demo, the consumption was 1.5 g.
The Oct. 28th demo used 321 reactors, so that's 1700/321 = 5.3 g per reactor.
Assuming the same 1.5 g per reactor, that leaves 3.8 g.

At 2 g/mol, that's 1.9 x 321 = 610 mol of excess H2, which at 55 bar and 300 K
will take a volume of 277 l.

The modules were arranged in 8 or 10 rows of 5 m (since that is the dimension of
the container).  That's likely 40 to 50 m of tubing.  That tubing with an
inner radius of 2.66 - 3 mm.

It all makes perfect sense to me.

 In a previoous job, I carried out the synthesis of silver nanocrystals of
different sizes and with specific surface plasmon light absorption spectra,
following some surprising literature. Starting with spherical seeds of less
than 5 nm diameter, readily formed chemically, one could obtain thin (5-10
nm thick) platelets of triangular shape and different size simply by
exposing for some time (1-7 days) the suspension in water to light of
different wavelength. The literature had used both led's of specific
wavelength and colored filters, we made our own filters and obtained the
same results. Thermal tests never led to any platelet formation, although
they could be formed thermally with different starting materials. But the
photochemical route was very attractive.

We followed through pushing the process (by changing the irradiation light
spectrum) until the silver nanoplatelets were actually about one micron
long and absorbed in the NIR. Got a couple of application patents using
those. Anyway, my point is that there was no theory in the literature as to
why the platelets formed that way (and we were not paid to explore theory).
The electromagnetic effect you are mentioning might be it, finally pushing
everything in the shape that provides the resonant plasmon.

 and decomposition
 c) there do not seem to be the cycling and pulsations, electrochemical,

 d) even if some anomalous heat had been generated, how to sort it out from
 just a faster/more complete hydride formation, anotehr exothermic process?
 If cold fusion had happened, in small quantity, it would have been taken as
 a funky quirk.

 I dont think so.
 In laboratory experiments they will probably measure it accurately.
 Thermal hysteris is an important parameter for a solidstate hydrogen
 storage device.
 The larger the hysteresis, the larger the energetic loss and of course
 they try to minimize it.
 If they get negative hysteresis, they have probably found cold fusion ;-).
 Also I believe they examines the crystal structures with advanced methods
 like x-rays, and when there are transmutation elements, they should
 discover them.

 Here is a link to the munich airport hydrogen project:
 http://ieahia.org/pdfs/munich_airport.pdf
 They use a gigantic metalpowder-in pipes  arrangement to store 2000 m^3
 hydrogen at 250 bar pressure.
 To unload the hydrogen, heat must be applied.
 It is clear, they dont build something like this without previous research.
 This is working for years and succesfully.
 Again, put Rossis catalyzer inside.  ;-)

 So, if a catalyzer exists it must be something extraordinary, that nobody
 tried before.
 For example high frequency. RF can make the joints of metal particles melt
 or pull them together until electrons tunnel through the barriers.
 This effect was used in ealy days of wireless telegraphy.

2011-11-26 Thread Robert Lynn
I do not doubt that Rossi's device works, but I have a lot of doubts
over his power output because his demos are so useless.  He is
claiming 100kW/kg output levels, while Miley appears to be closer to
10kW/kg levels (IIRC 30g 200W).  But given the 8:1 steam to water
ratio enthalpy ratio it is quite conceivable that Rossi is much lower
than he states and so closer to what Miley (and other researchers?)
are getting.  It would be nice to have reliable results to resolve
this.  But I suspect we are still some time off from having accurate
assessments publically released.

Power output will have a significant impact on economics of different
applications - for example 100kW/kg means Concorde like aircraft that
use 6 times the power of conventional commercial jets and can get you
anywhere on the planet cheaply in 8 hours at 30% of current costs,
Miley like results mean re-engined conventional jet aircraft that
still take 24 hours and cost 70% of current prices.

[Vo]:Large Temperature Increase of Core Not Required for 6 to 1 Output Delta

2011-11-26 Thread David Roberson


It has been suggested that it is not possible to obtain the rapid increase in 
output power measured for the Rossi ECATs.  The reason stated is that the core 
would have to have its temperature multiplied by a factor of 6 or so to deliver 
the needed power.  This belief is based upon a misunderstanding of the heat 
equation and its solutions.  You can find a reference to this information in 
Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation.  This is a partial 
differential equation that is not very easy to understand but ties the 
distribution of heat within a system to time.  One look at this complexity and 
you can see why it is confusing.
 It is correct to assume that the temperature gradient immediately feeding the 
ECAT water storage must be increased by the 6 to 1(or whatever you need) ratio. 
 I doubt that anyone would argue that point, but that does not imply that this 
gradient must exist all the way to the ECAT core modules.  Maybe some of the 
Vortex members are thinking about the stead state temperature distribution.  In 
that case, the temperature gradient would become smoother and follow a curve 
based upon the heat flow through the area encountered along its flow path.
In the steady state solution we would expect the core temperature to in fact 
rise by the ratio of the output powers as has been argued since it is the 
source of all of the heat energy.  The ECAT core temperature is not required to 
operate under steady state conditions until a very long period of time has 
elapsed.  This long period is not being allowed by definition due to the rapid 
power change observations argued against.
Consider this thought experiment.  The cores of one ECAT are heated within 5 
minutes to a high temperature by the electrical heating element leading to the 
generation of LENR heat.  The cores are now at a temperature that allows the 
total output to be 9 kW where they continue to supply energy into the heat 
sink.  The water initially knows nothing of this power since a significant 
delay exists as the heat makes it way toward the water.  The gradient of 
temperature facing the water is zero until the leading edge of the heat wave 
reaches that position in space.  Since the gradient is zero, no power is being 
delivered to the water.  Next, time elapses and the heat begins to flow into 
the water and increase its temperature.  A gradient is now established to allow 
the heat flow and this gradient rapidly increases as the power delivered to the 
water increases.  The gradient began at zero and will increase as needed to 
allow the heat flow required.  There is no reason why this gradient change is 
restricted to a value as low as 6 to 1, and I would expect it to be far larger

Horace Heffner has been generating a finite element model of the heat flow

to anyone who does not understand the mechanisms involved.  I recall a time 
domain chart he published to vortex that shows his expected gradient of 
temperatures along the heat sink.  This graph should be used as reference.

I doubt that is true, but even if it is, it makes no difference. These are
crude prototypes. With commercially manufactured devices I am sure they
will be able to achieve any input:output ratio they want, such as 1:100.
This is not an issue now and it never has been. No one has ever tried to
optimize this ratio, because that is just a matter of engineering. The

To answer your first question, it is not documented but it seems quite

The power was entirely supplied by a diesel generator.  The diesel
generator had a fuel level meter or an electricity meter built-in, or
maybe they connected an electricity meter between the diesel generator
and the equipment.

They obviously took readings before and after and wrote down the

False.  The correct sentence would be :

That is, he made a mistake in the report.  You can't claim with

 He measures a hydrogen consumtion of 1.7000 kg and dont write down all

That's part of the same fuck-up.

How can we take what you say seriously when you come up with arguments

 This is not a Nato colonel engineer with 30 year of experience in a

because it takes more than a fucking gigajoule to heat 4 tons of water
by 90 degrees, and the energy input was less than 250 MJ.

(c) PH finds it appropriate to cast a baseless doubt on the measurement of the

RE: [Vo]:Overview of (Ahern) Vibronic Energy Technologies Approach

I am not sure if it's relevant or what it's worth, but in the following
paper -

Anomalous Nuclear Phenomena Assocoated with Ultrafast Processes
www.iscmns.org/asti06/jianglaoshi2.pdf

- the authors speculate on whether the concept of torsion field
contributes to the LENR phenomena they observed in their experiments.

 This is an absolutely fascinating hypothesis, Lou - yet it so intricately
 complex that it would be a surprise if more than a few multi-disciplinary
 thinkers will invest the time and study necessary to grasp the ultimate
 significance.

 DNA, proteins, amino acids - all of the important molecules of life are
 chiral. Human proteins are exclusively built from L-amino acids but the
 origin of this asymmetry is mysterious. Nickel, unlike iron is not
 terribly
 important in higher level biochemistry (and can be toxic) - but in the
 earliest stages of evolution, nickel could have actually been the sine qua
 non and cause of L-chirality - in other words: No nickel, no chirality, no
 DNA, no humans.

 Even more fascinating is that there could be a relatively ignored QM
 feature
 (quantum isospin, perhaps) that relates both to chirality and to a
 propensity for what has been thought to be a strange variety of beta
 decay... thus tying biogenesis and free energy together in a most
 surprising way.

 This could be closer to a new kind of nuclear reaction than a subset of
 beta
 decay, in it that it is characterized by such low levels of radioactivity
 that it seems to be non-nuclear and it could even be reversible. That
 might imply a propensity to attract positronium (in the sense of Wheeler's
 quantum foam) instead of an inherent instability. The result is that
 decay
 is an external feature of Ni-64 being able to interact with the epo field.

 That could end up being a fundamental part of an emerging Nanomagnetism
 hypothesis, but it is really pico, not nano.

 Among the oddities of Ni nuclear stability - nickel-62 is the most stable
 nucleus in the periodic table ... yet - get this - it is NOT even close to
 being the most abundant nickel isotope.

 Quantum Foam... Makes Me Roam...

Sure.  The argument against the October 28 test is that the customer
is anonymous and who Fioravanti works for is also unknown.  If the
customer is, as I suspect, a fabrication, then Fioravanti works for
Rossi as a part of a scam.

Or, it's possible that Fioravanti has no idea about the potential
errors involved in measuring enthalpy by using only the heat of
vaporization of water.  Frankly, I find that unlikely but it is
possible that if Rossi could scam Kullander, Essen and Lewans, he
could also scam Fioravanti with the same ruse.  Of course, that would
assume there is a customer which I find very doubtful, admittedly, so
far, on subjective information mainly.

Nobody who was able to report about it saw the meter readings.  When
you cite energy in and energy out, you are simply quoting Rossi and
Fioravanti.

For those who think this was a legitimate demonstration, I'd like to
ask you why the invited guests, consisting of reporters and
scientists, were never shown any of the measurements?  You don't
suppose a remote display of all relevant data, including the generator
output during the test, could have been shown to them?  Exactly why
were they there other than to lend some wobbly credibility to Rossi's
claim?

Please don't get me wrong. I wish you all the success possible, and I will
not be negative towards your hypothesis in any way- if and when if it can be

However, the last 100 years does cover a lot of prime territory in
scientific advancement, including relativity, QM, string theory,
electro-gravity, etc. Are you certain you are not being a little too
generous in this self-appraisal, given the paucity of validation ?

 

In fact, I wish that your simple formula did work in a way that was not
retrospective and not iffy (with fudge factors many orders of magnitude)
and not coincidental - and most of all: had demonstrable predictive power,
since it would help with so many things. 

 

BTW - to fill us in on the last few years which have pushed you over the
top, apparently - have you been able to predict anything previously unknown,
based on the megahertz-meter theory ? You mentioned in an earlier post that
you had been doing lab work recently - do you have real data that shows how
this knowledge has guided you to achieve fabulous results ?

 

If so, please elaborate. That kind of thing would change opinions, and put

aware, several of our members are suggesting that the power output is changing 
far to fast to be real and I am hoping you can tell us what your model predicts.

It is much to difficult to solve this type of partial differential equation by

I expect Heckert does have a straight face. You can tell that he and the

This reminds of an incident in the 2008 election campaign. Obama
was exhausted and he accidentally referred to visiting the 57 states.
This may have been a random slip of the tongue. Maybe not. I believe
Democratic primaries include the 50 states plus the District of Columbia,
Americans Overseas, Puerto Rico and four others, so Obama probably had
strategy sessions to deal with all 57. Anyway, this led to accusations by
opponents that Obama does not know how many states are in the U.S., because
he is ignorant. That is absurd; he has many faults but ignorance is not
among them. It was clear that these opponents were scrambling to find a
reason to attack him, and they were scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Those opponents are still harping about Obama's 57-state mistake. You can
find references to it all over the Internet. Cold fusion opponents still
talk about FP's mistake measuring neutrons in 1989, plus they natter on

I am sure they will continue to assert that Fioravanti does not know the

Krivit provides details of the deal Rossi refused from Celani:

http://blog.newenergytimes.com/2011/11/26/rossi-declines-italian-and-u-s-government-testing-offers/

The terms appear extremely reasonable and the cost is very low, especially
for someone who just sold a $2 million plant and is sitting on an order for
12 more!  Note the time schedule too.

This is particularly troubling because it seems so incredibly absurd and
inconsistent with everything Rossi has previously said about how many
E-cats he's constantly testing for customers :“Rossi answered that my
test, among others of very low cost…was too-late because the E-Cat [had
been] sold,”

Assuming that's a correct quote by and from Celani, my reaction would be:
Too late, Mr. Rossi?  You mean you don't have any copper E-cats lying
around Celani could test?  No extra Ottoman modules?  How about borrowing

Re: [Vo]:Cold Fusion on the Science Blogs Channel -- Rossi Fooled Defkalion

2011-11-26 Thread Jed Rothwell
Yup. This has been noted here, but it is worth pointing out again. Rossi
has gone to extremes this time. Or if he is right, Defkalion has to be
engaged in a gigantic fraud. I see no middle ground here. No possibility of
a misunderstanding.

I hope we find out on Monday, when Defkalion says they will release
additional information.

The last time Rossi made this accusation he later backed off and said he
did not really mean it. He said the dispute is about money and not
technical after all. It will be harder for him to back off from this
attack, and pretend he never said this stuff. It will be difficult for him
to back down and accept a reconciliation with Defkalion. I do not think he
wants one. They are still being polite to him, so I guess they still hope
for one.

I sure would not want to deal with Rossi.

As McKubre put it, he wants to keep the results ambiguous

2011-11-26 Thread Peter Heckert

I think it is wrong to ask Rossi for a test.
If the test is successful he is the only one who wins and if it is not 
successful, he is the only one who loses.
Because he will not reveal the catalyst, science has no advantage from 
it. Others do credible say they have good results without catalyst and 
these are more credible persons. This is the route for science.


He does not want to do this, and this is his legit right.
I have no problem with this.
I have problems because this differs abstrusely from that what he 
promised some time ago.


Kullander and Essen have said, their stipulation for a test is that they 
may publish the results. If not, they will not do a test. They want 
science results, not business results.
Because Rossi does not want publication, this test in Uppsala will not 
be done this way as Rossi promised it in his forum one or two months 
ago. He announced a closed circuit massflow calorimetry test in an 
laboratorium in Upsalla in December this year in his forum.

I was ready to believe him.

It was apparently all a very unfair poker bluff.
He ridiculizes anybody, who trusted his promises and  who previously 
forwarded the good news in good believe. I am ashamed that I ever posted 
links to this into a serious physics newsgroup.

I have learned.
I will never again believe anything, if no diamond-clear and -hard facts 
are presented.


Anybody who offers him to do a public test, is accused by him to steal 
his secret.
This is a reason not to ask him anything anymore. He ridiculizes all his 
serious supporters, e.g. Essen and Kullander and Brian Josephson and 
Denis Bushnell.

NO more testing. I seem to make that mistake both typing and with voice

Rossi may be a master at indirection at McKubre says, but he could not make
himself clearer about this issue. McKubre, I, and many others have offered
him access to the best institutions in the world at no cost, including SRI,
MIT and Georgia Tech. His response:

ABSOLUTELY NOT, I WILL NOT TEST, NEVER, I REFUSE, NO WAY, GO AWAY

He means that. His reasons are obvious. I understand his reasons. Mary Yugo
has been told those reasons. If she does not believe them, fine, that is
noted, we all now know Yugo and Krivit does not believe these reasons. Let
us move on and stop repeating that.

Also, just because I have explained these reasons that does not mean I
agree with the business strategy or that I am making excuses. I
understand the strategy but I have recommended other strategies to him. I
will grant he is facing a tough situation. Yugo recommended to me that
Rossi go to Richard Branson or someone like that. In other words, she
suggests that Rossi should hand over everything he has to ruthless people
who have more money than God, and who will instantly rob him blind and
leave him with nothing -- because he has no patent. He should hope that
these people will cease doing the kinds of things they have done all their
lives, and which have brought them success and massive wealth. That is not
a good business strategy. Rossi needs to keep people like Branson in the
dark for as long as possible, until he can get a patent. Even I agree with
him on that.

2011-11-26 Thread Bastiaan Bergman
All,

Thanks for your input, I updated the paper to incorporate most of your comments.
@Aussie Thanks;

@Peter I maintain that Rossi forced the current big breakthrough,
whether it is just an additive or not. I agree with you that it is
fair to mention Piantelli and Focardi as founders and completely
revised that section to include it.

@Rich I believe I did pay a fair amount of attention to the critics. I
summarized all point is the paragraph What the critics say and more
in the paragraph about Rossi. I think the critique you summarize is
equally valid for super-conduction. Any paper in professional
literature can be found to lack of common sense on some points and
short of some additional measurement that could have been done on
others, once scrutinized by an army of skeptics. However, the sum of
the work done by many independent laboratories using a variety of
different approaches shows, without doubt, a pattern that is difficult
to reject as pathological science. Small government funding for
further investigation is well warranted. No point to criticize
something that doesn't exist, if you don't like it, ignore it. But I
do like your contributions Rich:-)

@Alain I feel as if I missed something, about CF or about humanity
- Exactly! What is going on? I feel like Truman in one of your human
systems experiments ;-)

@Robin I was a bit overly optimistic with the energy density,
corrected it. 3 cubic mile oil - equivalents is our energy
consumption, this includes coal and uranium (and renewables). 1 CMO is
oil alone. I corrected it anyway, no point overstating that. Thanks
for pointing this out, it's not worth getting caught on.

Some (early version of?) H-bombs use multiple fission bombs, not all,
and maybe none of the modern ones. It doesn't really matter, I feel
like I have to underline the dirtiness of this business anyway.
Intriguing in this regard I find the new studies that point out that
there is very little evidence of the fusion part of these bombs
contributing significantly to the power. Intriguing because the
inventor of the H-bomb is a prominent cold-fusion skeptic, citing the
lack of evidence...

Hydrogen atoms do not repel each other. Naked protons repel each other. That's
why hot fusion is so difficult - they insist on using naked protons.
- I agree. For sake of simplicity I skipped over it. And technically
it isn't wrong. Atoms attract at some length scales, but not at all.
That's why hydrogen does form molecules but doesn't fuse just like
that. I don't like the emphasis some people put on the stripping off
of electrons, as if that's a big deal in the fusion process, as if
that's hard, as if that gets you close to fusion itself.

The sentence no one claims to know,... is wrong in itself,
obviously. Of course there are many people claiming all sorts of
stuff. The next sentence basically says so too. That cold fusion
actually isn't fusion is a small step, I think. After one accepts that
something happens that we don't understand why it's a small step to
accept that something happens that is unknown all together. I still
have to learn more about the Hydrino theory, a simple introduction to
Hydrino's would be appreciated ;-).

Thanks for all the style corrections.

I do not think he is ridiculing these people. I think he is making use of

But he gives nothing in return. His goal is to succeed commercially. To
make money, in other words. This is an honorable goal. He will only do
things that contribute to this goal. Because he has no patent and he cannot
easily get one, and because he trusts no one, he must use convoluted,
unconventional methods.

If he succeeds he will give humanity a greater gift than any inventor in
history, so we will have nothing to complain about. If he fails, he will
hurt himself more than anyone else. I think his secrets are bound to come
out sooner or later. In the end, we will probably have this technology. I
hope that Defkalion has it. This may hurt Rossi. I would hate to see him
hurt, but if that is what it takes to bring this to fruition . . .

Rossi deserves billions of dollars, if that is what he wants. Our economic
system rewards the people who made Facebook with billions. Surely he
deserves this too. Facebook is a minor incremental improvement to
technology invented by Uncle Sam (the Internet). I wish there were some way

He's already sold 13 of these things and plans to deliver in them in 3

realize that his device works. At that point, isn't there a good chance
that his progress may be significantly stifled if some nuclear

concluded that it was safe enough to build, might this not be a couple

When the world realizes this thing is real, then there is going to be
such a clamor for it that his intellectual property may seriously be
threatened. There will be knock-offs from third world countries, and I'm
not even sure that Europe and America would give him a patent. They are
so desperate for a solution to their oil problems that they might just
declare his work too valuable to patent.

When Rossi was ready to sell his product, he needed some attention to
attract customers. Now, he has those customers, and I think that
conclusive proof that his device works, is the last thing he wants at
this time.

On another note: I went over to 116 S. River Rd, in Bedford, NH,

There's not going to be any conclusive proof from Rossi. If he doesn't

a working model, then there won't be any proof until someone reverse
engineers it, which could take a couple of years. So it's pointless to

 No they didn't. It says it will start within weeks on receipt of the
 first installment.


I'm not sure if the problem is the translation or the original article but
the translated version makes no sense at all.  It even suggests that U of
Bologna will pay Rossi to do the test.  And anyone who assume from the
article that Rossi is planning to give an E-cat device for U of Bologna to
test may be very disappointed.  If Rossi does cough up the $500K required
to initiate the contract, it may turn out he's paying the U to do secret
research for him -- research which does NOT involve making sure the E-cat
is really a cold fusion power source and that it works the way Rossi says
it does.

Rossi did say in his blog that although the research results will be
secret, the university is free to say whether or not they have received an
E-cat and so far, it is quite clear from their statements that they have
not.

Terry, I'm shocked.  You're making me repeat it *again*.  For what?  The
fifth time?   OK. Nobody else read this but Terry.  I apologize in advance
to everyone else.  Here goes again -- maybe I should put it in a web site
and just link it each time someone asks:

If it's a scam, it's an INVESTOR scam, like Steorn, in which the investors
pay up front and along the way millions and millions of dollars to the
scammer to share in the profits of the invention.  They often do so without
proper vetting and testing (just as they did with Steorn).  The scammer
protects himself with non-disclosure agreements and with strong disclaimers
saying the work being paid for is best effort only and every investment
including this one has significant risk including losing all your money.
You see that all the time in penny stock scams that net big bucks from
gullible people.  Investors are unable to sue due to disclaimers and NDA's
they signed or they are too embarrassed to be seen as the dupes they were.
And they get a tax writeoff.

Also Rossi *already* got money described as a significant part of the
equation from Ampenergo.  The link (again at least the fifth time) is here:

http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3179019.ece

Nobody knows who else gave him money -- people offer it to him all the time
various places on the internet including his blog.

One can make plenty of money with a scam without selling a thing.  If you
can demonstrate by any means other than quoting him that Rossi ever sold
anything, please feel free to do so.

The possibility of Rossi's E-cat being a scam has been widely discussed all
over the internet and is a valid issue when considering everything Rossi
has said and done and in consideration of his past criminal record.
Discussing it should not be banned any more than claiming Rossi has
invented cold fusion should be banned even though there is a lot less
evidence for that, IMO, than there is for the other possibility.

For all you naive people out there, you don't walk away with
€2,000,000 of someone's money and remain a public entity . . . for
long.

I have a relationship with detectives of a very large police
department and once asked the value of a human life.  He said that he
was aware of situations where someone died of lead poisoning for $500
cash and knew the group who did it.  They left the weapon at the
scene.  No prints.

Detective X also said, that if you want the evidence gone, ie not body
found, it would cost ten times as much.

I was curious how the evidence was made gone, and he said that
Dempsey Dumpsters laid to rest more people than any funeral home he
knew.

That was enough and I asked no more questions.

You don't steal $2,800,000 from people that have $2.8M unless that is
all they have.  Unless you immediately disappear.  I recommend Costa
Rica.

If you believe AR is scamming this amount of money, you are unaware of reality.

Now, I have an alternative idea, the only one that I can imagine.  AR
just wants to see his name on the net.  Kewl.  He spends hundreds of
thousands of dollars, hires actors, fakes a demonstration of a 1 MW
reactor and gets 5,000,000 hits on the internet.

After self gratification, what does he have left?  Well, I have seen
piccys of his wife and he is not seeking self gratification.  It is
short lived.

There is something happening here.  What it is isn't exactly clear.
But your mind should be.

He sells.
Mike Brady did never make a documented successful demonstration.
He announced multiple demonstrations in prominent places, but never did 
them. Shortly before the final date he disannounced them. He said, he 
could not do them for security reasons because his life was in danger 
and he wants to protect his customers.


Rossi uses the same advertising agents and distribution channels: 
Sterling Allan (PESWiki) and Adolf Schneider (TransAltec AG) in Switzerland.
Mike Brady had in his contractual stipulation explicitely written that a 
customer has no right to see a working machine before paying.
Also the customer had to pay before delivery. No escrow. This where his 
conditions and he got customers.


He sold, but there are at least 40 documented cases where he did not 
deliver and these customers went to court in germany, I have read 
details about this case.

Probably he found many more anonymous customers more who ordered and payed.
It is interesting. It was easy to convict him because he did not deliver 
and because he could not show a stock or factory and he could not show, 
that he ever intended to deliver.


I believe, Rossi will not do this fundamental management error, he will 
deliver.

If a customer makes trouble, he can stop to deliver the catalyst.
It is then impossible for the customer to proof if the machine worked or 
not.

So, if he sells, he will be in a much stronger position than Brady.

So, how does he profit? Very simple - he sells.

best regards, Peter

Rossi is a businessman who wants to make money.  Solid testing would be awesome 
marketing but he doesn't want to attract attention, yet he invites AP reporters 
to observe tests. He doesn't need black box tests because he already has 
customers, and though a satisfied customer is the best marketing available, his 
customers are all sworn to secrecy? He is fine with shoddy demoes because he's 
from the Old School. He just wants to sell devices, but not too many, and yet 
every device sold could be torn apart and duplicated.  He doesn't have a patent 
because the one he filed was intentionally absurd. 

The rationalization required to describe a self consistent narrative out of

Dearest Mary,

I have followed all these and others long before you were even aware
of their existence.  And I do not believe a word of Rossi simply
because he says so.

However, I have followed this LENR stuff since 1989.  (Were you even
born then?)  I once discounted it like everyone else, then a kind old
gentleman by the name of Chris Tinsley come on my CompuServe web forum
and simply asked me if I was sure that cold fusion was dead.  He
suggested that I join a forum called Vortex-l and follow the
discussions.

So, I did.

I wish to thank Jed Rothwell who asked for help building the
LENR-CANR.org web site.  He needed help with getting the documents in
a format that could be posted on his site.  I and my secretary had
some time available and we worked on some of the documents helping
reformat them.  But, in the meantime, I had to read and understand
what they were saying.

Now, I was already convinced by the exchanges on Vortex that I was
wrong about cold fusion; but, working on these documents secured me in
my convictions.

Jed has proceeded on his own since then; but, I have continued to read
many of not most of the papers posted on the LENR-CANR.org web site.
Indeed, today, I was looking for a particular paper and could not
access the site and found it was down.  I told Jed and he let me know
that there was a problem.

These documents are a great treasure trove.  I think anyone with a
sound mind and some knowledge of science could read the bulk of these
papers and find them convincing of the truth of low energy nuclear
reactions.  I read them hoping to find a secret that is embedded in
the combination of all the knowledge.  Frankly, I think I have
stumbled on a few and I mention them sometimes on this forum.

But, lately, to quote Dave in his consolation of HAL something
wonderful is happening.  And if you are afraid, Don't be.

Good investigative job.  Not sinister maybe but certainly not the same
result as finding a factory or huge office.  Come to think of it,
nobody has ever seen an E-cat factory nor a Defkalion one.  Nor has

He moved his US operation to Miami.  We have been through this.  If
you are really interested, I will find my posts from 10 months ago.

The bulk of his work is in Italy to avoid the evil eye of the DOE.

Can anyone answer the question of why the DOE even exists?  Why was it created?

Anyone?

Or are all of you too young to remember?  If not, did it meet it's

non should be not and People shouldn't be capitalized...

And this:    Efficiency is the key-word of our technology: 94 patents
cover the technology which makes our gensets the more efficient
existing in the world, thanks to a new thermal derived energy we have
invented and applied to our modules. This fact allows a payback time
of our Gensets in less than 2 years.  Really?  I doubt it.  What

And how to reach them?

 The advantage would be that people would believe him.  If he did not want
 to be believed, why has he gone through all the demonstrations he has done
 thus far with invited guests including press and scientists?


Look, this really is not complicated. He wants to be believed a little, by
some groups of people, so that he can sell them reactors. He does not want
to be believed by everyone at this time. Many other inventors such as
Edison and Patterson did the same thing for the same reasons.


If I were him, I wouldn't hide anything.  I'd make a complete and proper
 patent application, first get a huge law firm to help me and second enlist
 a huge patron to fund giant expansion. . . .


You would probably end up with nothing. In any case, Rossi thinks this
method would fail, and he is the only one who gets to decide.

The registered address is the physical address for the Agent for the
company, which can receive corporate mail on behalf of the
corporation. In this case, the agent is Travis, James R, at 8 Town
Farm Rd. He is an agent for multiple corporations. Lots of small
companies set up a business this way--with a PO box, and, when
required, a physical address with an agent. (New laws require a
permanent address for officers and agents of the corporation.)

Rossi has obvious plans to grow exponentially in the next few years.
The process will typically involve multiple moves to larger and larger
facilities, as his business needs change. The secret facility that he
will use to build e-cats is not likely to be already leased and listed
as an official address for the corporation.

I'm all for a little snooping around to get corporate intel, but I
personally am more interested in where he builds his e-cats, where he
is hiring, who he is selling to, and the progress he is making on
getting his products out the door and into the hands of consumers..
rather than the tired this is more evidence of fraud crowd. (MY,
that would include you.)

 Like it is typical for Krivit, he did not provide any details but silly,
 arrogant and misinformed pseudopsychological speculations that are stated

 objective journalism, I would say that it is wasting of time to refer him.

Looks to me as if you did not bother to read the original item.  In it is a

not silly, arrogant or misinformed.  After all, Celani wrote it!  Here is

 equation from Ampenergo.  The link (again at least the fifth time) is here:

 http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3179019.ece


As McKubre noted in his lecture, Ampenergo performed their own tests, with
their own equipment and several independent experts. He quoted the results:

AmpEnerco Run II
Sept. 25, 2009
New Hampshire
64 L H2O [coolant, I think]
T-in 23°C, T-out 46°C
Duration 4 hours
Average P-in 40 W, P-out ~400 W

There were several other tests. Also, Ampenergo definitely does know the
name of the customer. I assume if there are other investors, they do too.

So a scam to rip off investors is ruled out.

You  and your secretary were a great help, too. It made a big
difference. Nowadays the OCR software is improved and most of the papers

No no no.  Jed created the web site and pays the bills.  This is Jed's

among many others, helped him with the formatting.  I was lucky to

Jed Rothwell IS lenr-canr.org.  It contains his life blood.  He is one

Rothwell.

I have seen people call Jed all sorts of names; but, history will show
him as THE advocate of cold fusion.  Martin Fleishmann and Stanley
Pons deserve a Nobel Prize for their work.  But they should pay Jed
for his expenses on LENR-CANR.org as remuneration from the proceeds.

Just my opinion.

Hey, on that note, I was trying to find Stanley Pons on the web to
