There are so many factual errors in the patent, and on the Rossi blog that I am not expecting anything beyond "more questions than answers" if not an outright comedy. Most of us sincerely hope that that this apprehension is misplaced, but the errors are accumulating and already almost as cynically humorous as ... well, a hydrogen tank propped up against a radiator or a vacuum experiment using cast iron fittings, house plumbing and plastic tubing. What comes to mind is that hilarious video of the "alien autopsy" staged to look like the real thing .... But on the bright side - if it works, who cares if they saved a fortune on proper lab equipment? A further "lowering of the bar" in expectations is also due to the Rossi's prior work (or lack thereof) for DARPA - the two "convenient fires" at his lab in New Hampshire, the lack of final report four years later, and nothing but unfulfilled promises along the way. He has backed himself into a corner this time and there will be little leeway granted for non-performance. My dread is that this demo is doomed to be a field-day for skeptics. Jones
