Unfortunately, if Rossi hired a bunch of actors to pretend to be the customer reps, created an elaborate year-long special-effects-derived series of demos, bribed, hypnotised or otherwise fooled Focardi, Levi, Kullander, Essen, Bianchini, Stremmenos and convinced a bunch of Greek crooks to set up a dummy company called Defkalion to pretend to fight with him over the non-existent eCat, to perpetuate the illusion and spin it off into a competing mirror-scam and convinced his former partners to set up another company called Ampenergo to pretend that they had a contract for The Americas for a substantial sum or that they just did this with no proof because they have worked with Rossi and trust him because he’s such a fine fellow, arranged for Piantelli, Miley and a host of others to try to fool the world into thinking that cold fusion was real, got NASA, SPAWAR, The Defense Threat Reduction Agency and The Defense Intelligence Agency to say nice things about the field, got Bushnell to make a fool of himself, sold his profitable company to his ex-partners in order to spend that wealth on a multi-million dollar scam; certain that once he got all the above ducks in a row he would pretend to sell the first device and then reel in the true target of his dastardly plan – the second (this time genuine) buyer of a 1MW plant that will net him $2 million dollars until they want their money back or sucker a $100 million dollar deal under the table because he has experience in pulling the wool over all these idiotic eyes and knows that they will just take his word for it and not want to test if his 1MW plant can heat a small village without truckloads of coal or oil or a big fat electric cable coming into the container from beneath the floor (no you can’t lift the carpet!) and that, in order to pull this off, Rossi had to risk discovery by interviewing all the people he subsequently fooled so that he could only invite the gullible Professors and not the brilliant anonymous posters on the Internet who surely would have found him out – then all bets are off and I’m with the guys who think that Rossi is an idiot and they are all geniuses .

The only cold fusion I foresee happening in the near future is the fusion of your cranium with your rectal cavity.

Do you do anything on FR OTHER THAN pimp this crazy crap?

***Sure, just look at my posting history.

What is your problem, anyways? If this is true, it is world changing and it would have warranted such attention.

I did look at your posting history - the entire month of October seems to be well over 90% on this subject, and only this subject - as well as a highly repetitious reposting of “seagull” crap.

Can I be a “seagull” too?

Don't want to miss out!

The amount of heat being reported and apparently verified by outside observers is simply too much for any known chemical reaction .

Rossi's scientist friend, Levi, says the ecat should run for at least 24 hours to rule out a chemical reaction.

Seriously Kevmo,

Give it a rest. We have another story now that is also about nothing, the Herman Cain sexual harassment nonstory.

There are no facts in evidence in the Herman Cain story either, just alot of speculation about what might be true and who might know this or that.

Following the cold fusion furor of 20 years ago in which the scientific establishment declared that low energy fusion was not believable, scattered pockets of ill-funded scientists continued cold fusion research, while the world of big science continued working on multi-billion dollar fusion projects involving magnetic containment and lasers.

Muon catalyzed fusion is a cold fusion that's been accepted by science for over 50 years. The author isn't very good at research.

"There is a fascinating drama taking place over in Bologna, Italy involving a three-time scammer with a fake engineering degree who claims to be an engineer by the name of Andrea Rossi and a physicist, Sergio Focardi who tried the same scam in 1995, who say they have developed an entirely new source of cheap, clean, energy."

fixed.

If this ecat story is true, the world has changed.

I think I’ll give up on you early in this thread.

Not worth the keystrokes & pulled posts.

I’m developing a theory that Rossi is leaving obvious clues that his device is bogus and that he’s incompetent. That way he’ll have a legal defense.

Correct. And if somebody ever manages to harness cold fusion commercially, it will be a historic game changer bigger than Edison's invention of the electric light bulb.

FWIW, I used to work in the power generation industry. It was common knowledge that we had a handful of scientists in a lab working on harnessing cold fusion. I do not doubt that there are a few still doing it.

>> “Cheap, pollution-free energy could, in theory, reset the clock on global warming.” <<

.
This statement kills the article for anyone with a reasonable level of understanding.

Believing in the tooth fairy has vastly more basis in science than global warming. How can a daydream believer be qualified to write on this?

I think it is interesting, scam or not. Just don’t read the post if it bothers you.

It appears that a relatively innocuous post responding to you was pulled.
This means I have nothing more to say to you about LENR. Bye.

The title alone “Peak oil crisis” was enough for me to recognize the idiocy.

I’m developing a theory...

I've had a theory for some time that in the wake of the global warming hype we've witnessed in recent years, that Rossi is compiling the data necessary to publish a book dealing with the psychology of outlandish claims, groupthink, and the general GULLibility of the public at large, especially in the area of technical claims. If so, it would be a stroke of brilliance that I would actually have to tip my hat to Rossi for.

Pick another thread friend. If you aren’t interested in the subject get on with your life.

Deliberate antagonistic behaviour should be banned from this board.
