Two messages are coming through loud and clear wrt the "big picture".
First - Rossi is getting horrendous legal advice, and the beneficiary of that is the "rest of us". This is no doubt the worst patent application in memory and it follows a very good one that Rossi got when LTI paid the bill (extremely competent, actually, which is why I am calling this one nothing more than a joke). IOW - with an unenforceable patent as his only protection -junk really, then Rossi will go down as a "great inventor" with big bucks in the bank from the Greeks - and at the same time US consumers will be able to buy these things from China for a very low cost, as space heaters, since they are non-nuclear. Hot water and winter heating consume vast amounts of coal, the dirtiest fuel - so even if this baby does not work on a steam cycle - we have effectively lowered fossil fuel consumption by up to 30%. That will get back to lower oil costs, in the end. It is the best of all scenarios. And the E-Cat might work on an organic vapor cycle (i.e. ammonia) instead of steam, anyway. What's not to like about that? Jones From: Roarty, Francis X So Rossi let us go ahead and think the cu was outside the SS reactor while it was actually the sealed inner reactor filled with Ni powder and a resistive heater. Water flows around the copper reactor inside a SS jacket. The SS is a jacket not a reactor!
