I am reminded of portions of a phone conversation I conducted with the
"Witch Doctor" earlier in the year, particularly portions conducted back on
June 9. Some may recall the following totally unsubstantiated excerpts:
"SJ" - Seven Vincent Johnson
"WD" - the Witch Doctor
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
SJ 15:52 This is a follow-up [conversation] on that Italian, Andrea Rossi
...
WD 16:03 This is the fellow with the nickel.
SJ 16:06 Yes, that is correct. ...with nickel powder and hydrogen I think as
a matter of fact... Rossi continues to inform everyone at his blog site that
his company will assemble... he's attempting to assemble a one megawatt
thermal reactor in Xanthi, Greece... X-a-n-t-h-i... I think it the place.
WD 16:27: yes.
SJ 16:28 ...this October. Whether he will...
WD 16:30 He is still raising funds.
SJ 16:32 Yeah, that could be very well ... I mean there are several
companies...
WD 16:33 He is still raising funds.
SJ 16:36 Ok. It's debatable whether he will be able to make that deadline at
this point, but I have...
WD 16:41 Well, the point is that he should not make compromises with the
structure which is the other side this could take if he doesn't get adequate
funding.
. . .
WD 30:04 He's [Rossi] got a lot of futzing to do and you can basically
ignore him for at least another year.
SJ 30:10 Well we were hoping that by the end of this year Rossi would have
his one megawatt device ready to heat a plant... That was his goal. He was
going to use that as a demonstration device to heat a factory where he would
manufacture his energy catalyzers.
WD 30:25: Well, the problem is that speculative funds have not made
themselves appear... that's part of the problem. He [Rossi] can't guarantee
any of the results. He's still... ground research... and it's totally
speculative, and the money hasn't been made available for it.
WD 30:43: This has been a problem on going for the last 70 years. He's
[Rossi] not unique. Ok... So, he's making a lot of noise to get a lot of
attention.

PS: Personally I'm still rooting for some kind of a substantial Dog and Pony
show by the end of this October. If it does pan out it will be interesting
to see who is in charge.
