And I thought they just made handguns and rifles!
Patents have sure changed. There is almost no detail provided.
In a Robert Heinlein novel, he wrote of a future inventor and company that developed a power source that was extremely small and powerful. They did not even apply for a patent, preferring to keep their process secret because even though it could be taken apart and analyzed, the secret was in the assembly process. Their competitors could not replicate their processes even though they could copy the device down to the smallest part. They became the Microsoft of power sources and became multi trillionaires with their hands in just about any business imaginable. Their device could power a home, a car or a spaceship, depending on its size.
Maybe Rossi is crazy or maybe he’s a con man, but just having a patent does not mean it will work or even be profitable........................

Ummm, I’m not seeing any reference to cold fusion in the US patent...
Keep in mind that “it actually works” is not a criterium for patentability.
The criteria are: Novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial applicability; the latter being more of theoretical criterium meaning it can be made or used in industry (and is not tested).
What happened to this ‘amazing’ technology?
I went to the Rossi fanboy site as a lark and they are still churning out announcements, any day now!
What a fraud.
