Horace, Just for your information, I was present at the foundation of the very first Aquafuel Company in Largo (Tampa). Santilli (a mathematician of genius) and Leon Toups a businessman (who after his death was declared a saint- his son was working at the Vatican) have bought the patent of Richardson- a welder. I have received a lesson about the American corporate spirit.
Santilli has discovered that Aquafuel contains "magnecules". Long story not beautiful, it ended when Santilli has sued Infinite Energy for not publishing a n-th paper in the frame of his endless theoretical dispute with an other Italian guy, Corso (?). Being an adviser I had to pay 12,000 US$. The trial didn't took place, fortunately. However nothing to learn from this story that I just sketched here this has happend in an other part of Florida not Miami where Rossi works. I have stopped at Sarasota, visiting Patterson.
