The energy costs for launching via a gun launch or a rocket won't be
much different to a space elevator given the parasitic weight of the
climber's laser receivers, motors, radiators, wheels etc plus 25%
efficient electricity transmission to the elevator so need on the
order of 100kWh per kg
IF Rossi's e-cat is real, it never made sense that anyone would use
a world changing technology for something as mundane as heating a
industrial building.
What are the odds Rossi is stating the facts? (See below.)

The payload of a lifter is 70% of the mass, with
a fun-back-of the-napkin-calculation wrt interstellar space travel.
Suppose, you have the technology to accelerate a spacecraft to 0.5 lightspeed.
The distance to travel is 10 lightyears, which takes some 20years.
Now consider that:
You need a fairly large vehicle, which is not the size of your

Going back over a decade to when several top level LENR researchers at a
National Lab were using lithium hydroxide with deuterium (Claytor and
Tuggle) in cold fusion cells, and getting results including the production
of tritium and 4He - there has been speculation in an ostensibly unrelated
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
Strange paper, don't you think?
Excess heat due to isotope exchange cannot be more than a small fraction of
an eV per atom exchanged, and alumina does not absorb all that much water...
so what are we talking about? A few joules at most ?
What a wasted effort. I cannot imagine the motivation to
Many writers such as Christensen have pointed out that innovation tends to
come from outside an industry. Containerized shipping is a classic
example. It was developed by Malcom McLean, and industry outsider. That is
why cold fusion is unlikely to be developed by mainstream energy companies.

Is that what he said? I remember it differently. He was talking
about selling licenses but not for military applications.

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.

It's appallingly ugly! :(
that is a rule that I've learn in professional training about innovation.
inovators are:
- foreigners in their domain (other country, culture, industry, diploma,
speciality). so they understand that the things can be different from what
it is in their company/industry/domain...
- they gave a
