Re: [Vo]:Rossi: The 1 MW plant is for military purpose
Last year, Rossi insisted that he would never do business with the military. Now this! He is inconsistent, to say the least. - Jed
Re: [Vo]:Rossi: The 1 MW plant is for military purpose
Rossi’s reactor is attractive to the US military because of its very high power density. The E-Cat catalyst (AKA secret sauce) reduces the size and weight of the LENR core by a factor of 100 over a non-catalyzed reactor. One gram of nickel in a E-Cat does the work of 100 grams in non-catalyzed reactor (Brillouin Energy system). This small and compact LENR 10 KW core cigarette pack sized form factor is attractive for airborne, mobile and boots on the ground military applications. The 1 Mw size equates to about 100 horsepower at 10% to15% solid state heat to electric conversion efficiency. , Jed Rothwell jedrothw...@gmail.com wrote: Last year, Rossi insisted that he would never do business with the military.

I mentioned that possibility some weeks ago. His phantasies, albeit completely fictitious, shaped the thinking of several generations of Germans. Similar to Disney, Superman, Batman, 007 etc in the angloamerican idiom. A cautious tale to be remembered.

I remember it differently. He was talking about selling licenses but not for military applications. The way I took it was that, he already had a relationship with the military and no military licenses were available. I also remember an early post on 22passi.blogspot.com, soon after the January demo announcement that a reactor had been on a naval vessel for over a year. But, I could be wrong. I often have lucid dreams. T T

He told me he did not want the technology used by the military because he is a pacifist. I have no idea if that is how he truly felt. Perhaps, as you suggest, it was actually because he was already in negotiations with them. He says lots of things that should be disregarded. Frankly, I would be surprised if he presently is doing any business with the military in any country. If I were a military procurement officer I wouldn't give him the time of day. - Jed

Given the way he treated the people from NASA and others, you would have to be crazy to deal with him at any level. It would be career suicide. Krivit's description of the NASA fiasco is accurate as far as I know. I have heard it was even worse. That is why I cannot understand why people say Rossi a smooth operator. People say he may be swindling people by making them think he has something he does not have. He may be a confidence man, in short. Believe me he does *nothing* to convince people he is legitimate. He does nothing to inspire confidence or assuage people's anxiety. Time after time he does the extreme opposite! He would make any sensible person run for the exit. As I said here, it is as if he meets people at the door naked, waving a shotgun. By the way, I do not mean he actually does that!! That's metaphorical. I have known some inventors were nearly that bad, such as the late Stanley Meyer. He became enraged and threw bottles at people who looked too closely at his devices. Perhaps Rossi's extreme behavior is an act. Perhaps when you deal with Rossi one-on-one privately, and he wants to make a deal, he acts sensibly. After all, he is a successful businessman. He made a lot of money in the past. He is no fool. Many people in business cultivate a flamboyant public persona. Steve Jobs, for example. They want people to think they are unreasonable, or downright fanatical bad boys. That puts others at a disadvantage when negotiations start, especially when you have a good a product they want, and you hold all the cards. When you act reasonably, they breathe a sigh of relief and sign off on any conditions you propose, hoping to settle the deal while you remain in a rational state. - Jed
