If he had shown them how to produce any measurable COP, even 1.1, they would have paid him $89 million.
That is an absurd statement which has zero credibility. You are falling into the same trap as Rossi's true believers, which is to make a dubious point at any cost.
If IH were under no contractual obligation and paid anyway, IH's own investors would sue, and win for mismanaging assets.
It makes no sense that IH would pay Rossi a dime for low COP and that is the most likely scenario: Rossi had low COP in the range of 150% more power-out than power-in (at Lugano) and nothing in Miami but that feat gets him not one extra dime, and it shouldn't.
$11 million is a fair price for a modest effect which was already demonstrated and patented by Thermacore twenty years ago. Slight gain at a low level should have changed physics back then but it did not and it will not change physics today unless it makes its way into a commercial product.
Rossi may be a scam-artist deluxe and a pathological liar, but it does not help to resilve the situation to lower oneself to the same low level.
Take the high road, as the lady sez...
