Casual readers may have missed this. The story here is that someone has apparently gone from Australia to Italy to visit Rossi and test the machine. Quote:
"The entrepreneur Dick Smith has sent a consulting aerospace engineer, Ian Bryce, who has a science background, to assess the machine on his behalf." The other story is Rossi talking to them via Skype. When I first read this, I was wondering how anyone can settle a bet for $200,000 based on a Skype call. Apparently they have persuaded Rossi to allow a test. Maybe it is because he has soft spot for charity events. (He does -- no kidding.) I doubt Rossi will allow an test adequate to settle such a large wager. If I were Smith I would want rock solid proof. - Jed
