Jones,
I agree big business will eventually try to derail the E-cat
and will probably have some initial success in doing so BUT will be unable
to stem the piracy and proliferation among third world nations where the
E-cats will evolve rapidly. Theory and safety will quickly fall away to the
expediency of shot gunning arrays of different variables at a time in a race
very similar to Edison's search for a long lasting filament. We may not want
to deviate from low cost Ni but instead be searching for faster more
efficient heat transfer - maybe longer reactors with dividing zones taped
off to segregate the sputtered areas into more identical subsets to prevent
hot spots and promote uniformity? Anyway the costs you mention are just
Rossi trying to sour the milk and posturing his device in a non threatening
manner - of course it also means that investors see bigger dollar signs and
lends support to a possible pump and dump but with a real technology
underneath there are fewer criminal repercussions to consider. Seems like a
brilliant plan that peels like the layers of an onion .
