Let’s see. Kevmo posts hundreds, if not thousands of threads about Rossi. He posts the same canned “copy and pastes” even more times, yet you call me obsessive compulsive.
Not ONE SINGLE LINE of the above screed addresses ANY point IN THE POSTED ARTICLE. Stick to the subject, jerk.OK Star Wars boy, here are some comments from Joe Zawodny, regarding his appearance in the video referenced in the story (LINK):
While I do work for NASA, I do not speak for them.As for what people are trying to read into this video, specifically my use of the word demonstrated, it is my professional opinion that the production of excess energy has been demonstrated when the results of the last 20+ years of experimentation are evaluated.
I did not say, reliable, useful, commercially viable, or controllable. If any of those other terms were applicable I would have used them instead. If anything, it is the lack of a single clear demonstration of reliable, useful, and controllable production of excess power that has held LENR research back.
There have been many attempts to twist the release of this video into NASAs support for LENR or as proof that Rossis e-cat really works.
In my scientific opinion, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I find a distinct absence of the latter. So let me be very clear here. While I personally find sufficient demonstration that LENR effects warrant further investigation, I remain skeptical. Furthermore, I am unaware of any clear and convincing demonstrations of any viable commercial device producing useful amounts of net energy.
Every attempted demonstration of a LENR device that I am aware of has failed to meet one or more of these criteria.
“I am unaware of any clear and convincing demonstrations of any viable commercial device producing useful amounts of net energy.”
Quite so.
And yet Rossi claims his robotic factory is moving forward and going to produce tens of thousands, even millions, of these e-cats that have never been demonstrated to a viable working device. Not one.He hasn't even been able to show a second shipping container (which he originally claimed he was working on in his warehouse).
Not to mention, we're still waiting for that second customer to step forward. He promised that back in November.
Not to mention that Sven Kullander promised a "detailed isotopic analysis" of the ash from Rossi's gadget by Christmas, and yet we still don't have it.
And so on...
It’s beginning to sound like old reruns of ‘Dallas’ but without the big hats. Maybe Gilligan’s Island?
I screwed up somehow.
The title was supposed to be
NASA has Applied for a LENR Patent
and the URL was supposed to go here:
