The information below was sent to me by an anonymous person who could be a conspiracy theorist, due to a number of other rants and mysterious ravings. or not.
But heck, I will read and try to apply a fair appraisal to almost anything related to the Rossi invention - given the chance that it could be real, and given the high probability that if it is not a scam, Rossi himself does not have a clue. And someone else might have some insight. Having looked at this site (which contains other extraneous information), and thought about it in depth, I am now pretty sure there could be something valid to it .. http://www.rexresearch.com/johnsonjtec/johnson-th.htm Look at Fig 1 and 2 about a third of the page down, which is the original invention. The TEG design by Johnson is derivative, but can be (or has been) modified to use hydrogen as a medium, plus the thermoelectric materials, which could include at least one spillover catalyst (which shows up in the Rossi/LTI patent for another kind of TEG). The idea is that in the process of working on advanced TEGs which was Rossi's forte, and which could contain hydrogen gas to give thermionic properties, it could have been accidental (for someone, even if not Rossi) to find that the thermoelectric materials actually interacted with the hydrogen for heat generation - instead of merely the conversion of heat. The important patent is rather old: US Patent # 4,368,416 1983 Thermionic-Thermoelectric Generator System and Apparatus Jasper L. JAMES ( deceased January 11, 1983 ) This kind of design - could tie into what Andrea Rossi "might have been doing" 3-4 years ago with remnants of the earlier TEG work for DoE and LTI, but with the idea of hydrogen carrying away heat as ions. and then he got very lucky. I should mention that Ed Storms thinks Rossi was working on a completely different kind of project at the time, but it could have been that he was working on both at the same time. When you hit the jackpot, you might just have been the luckiest guy on the planet the particular day of your 'Goodyear Moment'. Who knows? There is also some kind of vague conspiracy around the original device, which I do not understand. Jones
