I believe it has been conjectured that Rossi has not yet operated his 1 MW demo prototype at 100% capacity. That's what I have assumed is the case based on what others have said... or is that what Rossi has stated for the record? I'm not sure on this point. Someone please correct me if I am in error. The point being: If Rossi's entire 1 MW array has never been activated, then yes indeed there does appear in my mind to be valid concerns for the safety of curious bystanders who may wander too close to the prototype. If it's NOT true, and the 1MW reactor HAS already been "test driven" at least a few times (and nothing of an explosive nature transpired), then IMO there may be some grounds to give Rossi a teeny tiny little bit of slack. Nevertheless, this all being a scarcely understood technology, it is still prudent to classify the prototype as potentially dangerous, until proven otherwise. I would still personally keep my distance.
Lately, I can't help but wonder if Rossi hasn't already tested the entire array at 100% capacity behind closed doors, precisely to make sure his 1 MW prototype will work as he hope it will on Oct 28. If I were betting the entire farm (which Rossi seems to be doing) on making sure my "demo" performs as advertised I would make damn sure that I have already performed several rehearsals. Rehearsals & dry runs would be absolutely critical in order to impress prospective investors in forking over obscene amounts of venture capital, I certainly hope Rossi has already rehearsed the whole demo at 100% capacity. Can anyone verify or falsify this conjecture of mine? Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
