Do you know what tests have been performed, and who did them? If you do not know these things, I think you have no basis for all this speculation here about how awful Rossi is, and why he compares to Bernie Madoff.
I do not think your speculation causes harm, and I doubt the people at IH or that Rossi cares, but you do make yourself look a little silly. Let me put it this way. A few years ago you and others were predicting that Rossi would soon be found out as a fraud, and he would disappear. You were not predicting that powerful, experience people such as the ones at IH would be putting millions into his R&D. Are you not taken aback at this turn of events? Do you not feel a little less confident in your condemnation of Rossi? You stick to your predictions as if nothing has happened. Maybe you are right. I wouldn't know. But I would not be so self assured if every prediction I made for the last several years apparently turned out to be wrong. You remind me a little of pundits who keep saying, month after month, that The Donald has reached the upper limit of his support and he will soon self-destruct and go away. They said that at 10%, 20%, 30% . . . At 36% there is no sign of it yet. If I were a political pundit, at this stage I would stop making those predictions. The only thing I know for sure about Rossi is that over the years several experts have tested his systems in his absence, and they have confirmed that the machines sometimes produce kilowatt levels of excess heat. They do not want to publish these findings, but I have seen them. They are based on conventional HVAC techniques, and at power levels easy to confirm, so I expect they are right. It seems to me that fact is more significant than Rossi's odd pronouncements on his blog. I do not know what to make of those pronouncements, but I do know what to make of flowing water, conventional flow meters, and thermocouples. - Jed
