This list goes back to 1996 or so -- it would be nice if all those messages

Eric, your point is well taken. Very little IP can now be patented and  
defended. The ideas have either been described in rejected patents or  
they have been described in public. Any attempts made now to get a  
patent would only make the lawyers rich. Most of the patents presently  
granted also have very limited value, other than as comfort food.


The important patent will result from correctly understanding the  
mechanism and applying it in the most effect way. The resulting recipe  
will be so good that no other improvement would be possible. Right now  
all the recipes are so poor, they could easily be improved, thereby  
making them irrelevant.  The game can still be won, but not by the way  
it is presently being played.

That's just a copy of the press release.

Anyone else think Darden and Cherokee may have been conned by Rossi? I notice 
their scientific evidence is the previously disputed report from 2013.

AFAIK - there is no evidence that Rossi was involved at all. He sold the US
license for his technology some time ago to Ampenergo, who then sold to
Industrial Heating. Of course the royalties to Rossi which were in the
original deal would still be there.

 

Ampenergo could have determined that there was nothing which they could move
forward with the capital they have available - and decided to get out with
some gain. 

 

That is the big unanswered question which I have: why did Ampenergo unload?

 

It would be great to hear something from Craig Cassarino on the underlying
rationale for this transaction.

That makes perfect sense, but it may not be all of the story.

Following the buck, as they say ... there could be an angle which concerns
getting the most out of former DoE ties. They may want to use all their

Well, you do not have to be John Grisham to realize the whole brownfield
thing is chock-full of hidden value ... and to piggyback the kind of RD
that would otherwise raise a political stink with big oil and big science -
onto a brownfield deal - that could be the only way to get tax dollars into
play. 

Rather brilliant, I'd say.

But that could be giving them more credit than they deserve. 

They're probably not that smart, and Rickover is long gone. After all, they
shut down SPAWAR and I don't see it as a diversionary tactic to hide a
project which is going black, but who knows ... maybe that is what it was.

My opinion on Pentagon agility and brain-power - as it applies to advanced
technology is that yes, they can unbloat and do that kind of thing rapidly
on the rare occasion when it is given the highest priority with little
disagreement at the top. But otherwise, they probably miss more
opportunities than they steal. One dense general or tanked admiral can
topple any brilliant advanced program, and there are dozens of each who
oppose LERN. 

The one successful project category in recent years that has surprised
everyone in how fast, how well, and how cost efficiently it was pulled off
is the unmanned drone category. LENR of course is a perfect fit for that.
Watch the NOVA documentary to find that the way it got off the ground
rapidly was because a few private individuals were able to move it along
outside the bureaucracy at the important early stages and then they got
boosted by DARPA funds. Boeing and LM come in after the table has been set.

One way LENR could have gotten enough high quality attention to have been
already developed to a useful stage for drones would be if someone with
DARPA connections had seen a relevant demo - say the Jansson thruster demo
at Rowan State U, since Rossi probably came along too late - and then pretty
much borrowed the technology. 

Or else Mills has had something under wraps in the back room at Cranberry
for a long time, who knows? Makes sense. Maybe RM's paranoia is not as
irrational as it seems and he has been in Sam's back pocket for all these
frustrating years?

Kudos to Frank Acland and the fellow who broke this story well before it
was announced to the public.

From the press release:

Since acquiring Rossi's technology, IH has engaged in a broad-based effort
 to protect it by preparing numerous patent applications related to the core
 technology as well as associated designs and uses.

I got the impression along the way that Ampenergo was not an entity that
was independent of Rossi; sort of a Leonardo Corp. II.
