Hello group,

Here is Rossi's answer to Brian Josephson on an English article from

(Brian Josephson joins Francesco Celani's call for further scientific 
tests of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat, but Rossi has different plans)

 Hello group,

 Focus.it.

Interesting.  Previously, Rossi was claiming that Celani's offer was
an insult and an attempt to steal his invention.  He seems to have
toned it down somewhat.  He says the U of Bologna will be starting
work on his E-cat.  When?  Soon?!  He could give them an E-cat to
test and they could say if it was real within two or three weeks.  He
doesn't even say he plans to let them do that.

According to U of B's last remarks on this issue (a few weeks ago), he
didn't fund them as promised.  Rossi said he would give U of B a half
million dollars for research on the E-cat as soon as he was paid for
the megawatt plant.  He has announced acceptance of the plant and
presumably has been paid.  Where is the grant?  A verification test
wouldn't cost anything like $500K.  Maybe $10K if the U doesn't have a
decent physics lab store room. Essentially no cost if they do.   $10K
is  the amount Celani mentioned and it's entirely believable.

Does anyone still believe that after all the equivocations Rossi is
going to produce an E-cat for independent testing anywhere?  If so,
when?  To whom?  Anyone think he's going to produce a credible
customer with some results?  Same question: when?

Regarding the UoB, this might partially answer your question:

An excerpt translated in English for you:


Our interest is very strong - states Paolo Capiluppi, director of the [Physics Department 
of the University of Bologna] - We are very curious but to us it's truth only what we can 
measure. To make the contract active, the payment of the first instalment of the 
50 euro Rossi committed to fund to sustain all costs, is needed. We should 
start briefly, within a few weeks - confides Enrico Campari, professor of experimental 
physics and scientific person in charge of the research with Giuseppe Levi -, by [next] 
summer we could have the first scientific reports of the obtained results, which we will 
disclose in scientific journals.


So, in a few weeks of time, it seems.

Thanks.  That's very helpful.

It seems to me that the critical step is giving an E-cat to the
university which has not happened.  I will go a notch towards belief
in the reality of Rossi's claims *if* it ever does.  I am skeptical
that it will.  Incidentally, Rossi wrote in his blog that while the
university can not talk about the research until it has been
completed, they are free to report when they receive an E-cat.

I don't know why the U can't simply do a preliminary test to see and
*report* if the E-cat even works before they bother to figure out
*how* it works and nobody has ever answered that adequately.  Of
course, I asked Rossi on his blog and he declined to acknowledge or
publish the question.

Rossi is consistent in this stance. He seems to respect Josephson, but not
changing for him.

I believe, only customers skilled in the art will buy an ecat system. 
Because the ecat is a raw heater system and must be connected to other 
devices or systems.
Therefore, if there is a customer who is willing to publish, we should 
know more soon.

Without such a customer everything will stay unknown.

Rossi always said the research at universities will be confidential.
because he pays he will make the stipulations and one of them could be 
not to publish results when these are bad for his business.

He can make them stipulations that they are unable to accept.
Same with Upsalla. So he can win time and can repeat for some years it 
will soon be tested at University XYZ. If they gets bored and deny, he 
finds a new test-partner.

This keeps announcements and zero cost advertising press articles coming.
A genius concept, but not new, its the old trick, but in unbelievable 
dimensions.

He is a genius.

So, in a few weeks of time, it seems.

Maybe new announcements without real results all weeks.
I do -sadly- not expect more and would be happy, if I am in error.
