It is wonderful in a way, but why not build a desktop version? Even if it produces only milliwatts excess, if it can overcome friction and keep going it will convince everyone.
After the superconducting supercollider was abandoned, some Young Turk physicists began to rethink the whole idea. I read that some of them have come up with desktop-scale machines that accomplish some of the goals of the supercollider. That's how you are supposed to do science. I wish Rossi would scale down. His 1 MW reactor was, in its own way, as nutty as the RAR megamachine or the supercollider. - Jed
