* I don't think there is any RF generator. The purpose of the Rossi "black box" is said to be a secret, but if it were merely a DC power supply for a resistive heater, then you would be implying a planned intent to deceive the audience, which is not impossible, but unlikely. * I do not see any need for an RF generator. I think the system can self sustain if the temperature is hot enough, but the problem is that there could be a runaway explosion if that happens. Again, the need for RF is NOT as a heater, but as a means of spin flipping hydrogen to attain negative temperature in this (highly speculative) hypothesis. Rossi cannot mention RF as an input in the patent, since RF has been previously patented as a way to heat a hydrogen nuclear reactor. And since Rossi is probably unaware of the quasi-BEC modality (assuming that it could be accurate to some extent) then he probably thinks the advantage of RF over other input is the great unknown mystery, and which he admits to not comprehending. If it turns out to indeed be RF input, then we can say that he found out that it is advantageous through trial and error, yet apparently thinks that it works for the same reason that it is used in prior-art, in tokomaks, etc. So he could be right for the wrong reason. Although my underlying hypothesis of operation - with the quasi-BEC - is admittedly "way out there" on the fringe of the fringe, it is pretty clear that Rossi has done what Randell Mills could not do. In effect, you seem to be saying that Rossi has invented nothing more than a better version of the Mills' reactor. That is most unlikely, since Mills has not gotten his to run in a continuous mode for long enough to begin placement in the grid plants of his licensees, and he is far better funded. Rossi claims a year of operation already. OK maybe that is an exaggeration, but it is clear to me that he has made a major breakthrough advance over Mills, even though he may have borrowed the basic starting ingredients - and so far that alone implies a fundamental difference in the MO. It may not be RF as the input, but it is probably going to be new physics; and the hypothesis of dense hydrogen (pycno) leading to a quasi-BEC has not been shot down yet. Of course, that could happen later today :-) Jones
