That's good. I am glad they said that. It means he will cancel the test, but I agree with Heckert that a university should not do closed, secret tests. > Anybody who offers him to do a public test, is accused by him to steal his > secret. > This is a reason not to ask him anything anymore.

I think he is making use of them for his own purposes. He accepts their help. He accepts anyone's help. But he gives nothing in return. His goal is to succeed commercially. To make money, in other words. This is an honorable goal. He will only do things that contribute to this goal. Because he has no patent and he cannot easily get one, and because he trusts no one, he must use convoluted, unconventional methods. If he succeeds he will give humanity a greater gift than any inventor in history, so we will have nothing to complain about. If he fails, he will hurt himself more than anyone else. I think his secrets are bound to come out sooner or later. In the end, we will probably have this technology. I hope that Defkalion has it. This may hurt Rossi. I would hate to see him hurt, but if that is what it takes to bring this to fruition . . . Rossi deserves billions of dollars, if that is what he wants. Our economic system rewards the people who made Facebook with billions. Surely he deserves this too. Facebook is a minor incremental improvement to technology invented by Uncle Sam (the Internet). I wish there were some way to assure that he will get billions. The business strategies suggested by Mary Yugo and some others skeptics would only guarantee that he ends up penniless in the gutter, or -- like Tesla -- destitute and living in a hotel with a few crumbs tossed to him by the people who benefited from his discoveries. - Jed
