I am reminded of portions of a phone conversation I conducted with the "Witch Doctor" earlier in the year, particularly portions conducted back on June 9. Some may recall the following totally unsubstantiated excerpts: "SJ" - Seven Vincent Johnson "WD" - the Witch Doctor * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SJ 15:52 This is a follow-up [conversation] on that Italian, Andrea Rossi ... WD 16:03 This is the fellow with the nickel. SJ 16:06 Yes, that is correct. ...with nickel powder and hydrogen I think as a matter of fact... Rossi continues to inform everyone at his blog site that his company will assemble... he's attempting to assemble a one megawatt thermal reactor in Xanthi, Greece... X-a-n-t-h-i... I think it the place. WD 16:27: yes. SJ 16:28 ...this October. Whether he will... WD 16:30 He is still raising funds. SJ 16:32 Yeah, that could be very well ... I mean there are several companies... WD 16:33 He is still raising funds. SJ 16:36 Ok. It's debatable whether he will be able to make that deadline at this point, but I have... WD 16:41 Well, the point is that he should not make compromises with the structure which is the other side this could take if he doesn't get adequate funding. . . . WD 30:04 He's [Rossi] got a lot of futzing to do and you can basically ignore him for at least another year. SJ 30:10 Well we were hoping that by the end of this year Rossi would have his one megawatt device ready to heat a plant... That was his goal. He was going to use that as a demonstration device to heat a factory where he would manufacture his energy catalyzers. WD 30:25: Well, the problem is that speculative funds have not made themselves appear... that's part of the problem. He [Rossi] can't guarantee any of the results. He's still... ground research... and it's totally speculative, and the money hasn't been made available for it. WD 30:43: This has been a problem on going for the last 70 years. He's [Rossi] not unique. Ok... So, he's making a lot of noise to get a lot of attention. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For more information on "The WD Files on Rossi...", here are the supplied links, including appropriate disclaimers: Introduction http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg48597.html March 5 phone conversation transcript http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg48600.html June 9 phone conversation transcript http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg48601.html Personal Assessments & Conclusions: http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg48598.html PS: Personally I'm still rooting for some kind of a substantial Dog and Pony show by the end of this October. If it does pan out it will be interesting to see who is in charge. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
