I agree- the essence is that the process works- at high intensity- and very probably all the other conditions will be solved - we will see with what price. The difference between the Piantelli and the Rossi process is the possible basis of patenting. As I see the future developments rather soon we will see many competing Ni-H energy sources. A strong patent umbrelll type, just could slow down this process. This week it is better to abstain from predictions. Peter
