I wonder if the U.L. will respond to an inquiry as to whether they have/will receive his device(s) for assessment? I’d settle for a monosyllabic “Yes” or “No” to that inquiry.
I'm sure they wouldn't release that information without the approval of the customer. Of course, if Rossi is legitimate, he would have no trouble giving that approval. But, I'm not holding my breath.

My father spent 25 years getting U.L. listing for all sorts of products. If he were still alive, I'd ask him to make a few calls.

I do have the contact info for the (retired) U.L. Engineer he worked with most often (they were good friends), but I'm hesitant to ask him to investigate this on my behalf. Even if he provided me with useful information, I seriously doubt that he would allow me to publicize it "on the record" (since that would be a violation of company policies), and I'm not going to resort to anonymous claims, as Rossi and his fanboys do all the time.

Just for the record: U.L. doesn't care whether a product performs as advertised. They only care about the safety of the device. As long as you can't be hurt or killed by the device under reasonable operating conditions, it would have no particular difficulty being U.L. Listed.

U.L does require unrestricted access to the device being submitted for testing. It can be a prototype, but it must be identical in material and construction as the production version. So, to even attempt to get a Listing, Rossi would have to provide them with one or more gadgets for them to test however they saw fit. Based on everything I've seen Rossi do, he would never allow that.

Well that’s disappointing.
