That certainly is an intriguing statement coming from Mr. Rothwell.
Jed has said things like this many times. It's obvious that there
are people convinced by Rossi, but what it means that they "confirm"
that Rossi's device works is unknown. What did they actually
observe? Jed may know . . .
They tested a device with flow calorimetry in their own facility in
the U.S. for a couple of weeks, when Rossi was not present. This was
some years ago. The device was in the same class as the heater that
ran for a year in the Italian factory. I don't recall the size of
that . . . ~10 kW? They also tested that device, in Italy. So did
Focardi and some others, as they themselves described in a video and
some documents. Rossi may have been present during these tests.
Jed, it's entirely up to you the credibility you assign to those
reports. The rest of us have to take them as rumors coming througu
someoine who is generally reliable. I.e., you.
This is ordinary flow calorimetry with engineering instruments such
as an HVAC engineer uses. Similar to the ones used in the 1 MW test
by the mysterious colonel. Not high precision but very reliable.
The standard explanation, Jed makes it, is he's crazy.
No, I think he is trying to make himself look crazy, or not
believable, for the same reason Patterson did. He wants people to
ignore him and not try to replicate or compete. I think his IP is
weak and he knows that if others reverse-engineer him, he has no way
to collect royalties.
I advised him and the people financing him to concentrate on
developing IP instead of building megawatt reactors. They ignored me.
The story told here by Jed is plausible. In a way, though, it's a
variation on the "he's crazy" story. I.e., he's not crazy as he
appears, he's pretending to be crazy. But, Jed, that's actually a
form of crazy. They could lose everything by following his strategy.
You gave *sane* advice. Ignoring sane advice is *crazy.*
Sure, there is a distinction.
