I think any other cold fusion cell would have been so unstable, it would blown up, the way Mizuno's did. Only with 10 or 100 times more force. Mizuno's explosion drove a shard of glass deep into his throat, and deafened him and the other person who was in the room for hours. A larger explosion with a metal cell like Rossi's would have blown their heads off. I do not think his control was very good back in February during the 18 hour test, when the temperature went skyhigh. People say Rossi looked frightened when that happened. I would have been terrified. Rossi has guts. > . . . and he's said that use of the electric heater is necessary for > control.
