Thank you Jones, I was actually able to wrap my brain around most of that.
I especially like the falsifiable conclusion. The sooner the better. An afterthought: If Rossi (and probably Mills as well) don't currently possess an accurate understanding of what's actually happening on the atomic and LENR levels it sounds like a lot of regrettable roadblocks could be thrown up, possibly impairing the patent process. I perceive the lack of a proper theory as possibly resulting in a string of regrettable delays while interested parties fight over proprietary issues. OTOH, if one can statistically predict how the phenomenon behaves between point A and B, and then you design and subsequently patent your contraption to operate specifically between those two parameters... the world could very well be your oyster, until some other upstart comes along and designs an even better can opener. That is bound to happen. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
