Rossi must have made the sale to the US Navy because he has stopped looking for a major supportive money rich customer. And he has stopped complaining about a lack of money.
Rossi has devoted much effort in downsizing his reactor core. I believe this effort was directed towards the requirements of his customer: the US Navy. Also, Rossi has stated that the customer is military. Rossi’s reactor is attractive to the US military because Rossi’s reactor core has a very high power density potential. The E-Cat catalyst (AKA secret sauce) reduces the size and weight of the LENR core by a factor of 100 over a non-catalyzed reactor. One gram of nickel in an E-Cat does the work of 100 grams in a non-catalyzed reactor (e.g. the Brillouin Energy system). This small and compact LENR 10 KW core cigarette pack sized form factor is attractive for airborne, mobile and boots on the ground military applications. This is why Rossi started the reactor core downsizing process after the 18 hour test. I believe he got a lot of help from Navy contractor experts from the kind of things he said during that timeframe about development progress. The US Navy would have accepted the Rossi reactor as a starting point for their own development of a miniaturized LENR core. No sane commercial customer would take the risk of such an immature product. The 1 Mw size equates to about 100 horsepower at 10% to15% solid state heat to electric conversion efficiency. I understand, you don’t want to believe that the Rossi reactor would slip into the black pit of military secrecy and lost to the real world; but it has and Rossi’s commercial product will only appear as a result of irresistible international commercial pressure placed on the US government to let the E-Cat of of the secrecy bag. This will take a lot of such pressure, however. The US military indulges Rossi’s fantasies about a commercialized product but I can’t see how they could give a potential adversary a leg up on such an important and even game changing military core technology.
