Press Release - Cold Fusion (LENR) Verified - Inventor Sues Industrial Heat, LLC.

Quote

Add all this up, and it doesn't assure the Ecat is real, but I think it comes pretty darn close to doing just that. Very exciting, and always, a very good story. Who needs action novels, when we have this!

Shane, you are not thinking this through.

(1) If [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] never intended to pay, but wanted to squirrel large amounts of money away in offshore companies as Rossi alleges, then the whole [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] Ferrago lends no credibility to Rossi and their DD is worth nothing.

(2) If they originally thought 100M would be worth it for working technology (and indeed it would) then why are they now not paying? They have, it seems, got the money. I can think of only one plausible reason for that change of heart.

However I'll say this - Rossi has at last given us excess heat par excellence!

My reading of the lawsuit is that all of the patent stuff will be arguable. I imagine they had a gentleman's agreement which expired when they divorced. Or else Rossi is claiming things for which he has no evidence.

The big deal is that Rossi does not get his expected $100M so he sues. That is sort of understandable and the only reasons for this are:
(1) [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] is an investment scam - hardly seems likely with Darden but I guess I don't know.
(2) [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] does not believe that the long term test results claimed by Rossi are true.

I'd certainly back (2).

I hope the suit doesn't delay entry of LENR into the market place.
The greenhouse effect will get alot worse without LENR, solar and wind.

I hate daily soap operas...
Also the weekly ones..
And even more the endless ones...

There is no patent for LENR! Go & build Your own reactors!

But this needs some real effort.. not just bashing a keyboard.

[lexicon]Industrial heat[/lexicon] is ripping off Rossi

@Thomas Clarke
If [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] becomes part owner of the IP by being indirectly assigned as co-inventor, then they probably feel that they do not need a license from Leonardo. That will save them a ton of cash should the tech work as intended.

Seems like Woodford should get involved given how [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] has apparently misrepresented their assets

Shane said "As one would expect it makes Rossi sound like a saint"

Bismarck said that lawmaking is like sausage making not pretty to observe the process

Technology development is the same. Tesla's AC generator patents and his relationship with Westinghouse were messy
but the world has his sausages even though he died penniless.

I don't think Rossi is a saint and he won't die penniless... but the world will enjoy his sausages.
The COP of btween 6 and 50 could be an average of 20.. those E-cat sausages could be very cheap.

@Curbina

I've just reread the Penon report from 2012. He used IR thermography too, and got some strange results. I might have a go at decoding them, though there is a horrible lack of information.

Just as with the Lugano test there was no independent check of temperature, at least none recorded in the report. Also there are two clear and large technical errors in the statements about how radiation varies with angle.

You may find that [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] has good reason not to pay its $100M.

I guess it depends on the contract. Is it an unconditional agreement to pay $100M if the test is good, or is it an agreement to pay $100M or void the license?

In paragraph 71-72 in lawsuit above 50x and often greater then 60x on COP, when will we see the actual report?

Mikefd wrote "when will we see the actual report"
[lexicon]IH[/lexicon]/Cherokee probably stalled on report publication because they had no 100M.
Unfortunately sub judice will delay report release until trial conclusion
Rossi chose the public arena in lieu of the report.
Court publicity works in Rossi and E-cat technology favour..
Watch coal and oil prices in the next few weeks,

[lexicon]IH[/lexicon] unbeknownst to Rossi disseminated the trade secrets and attempted to patent themselves.

The ecat worked. I think [lexicon]IH[/lexicon] doesn't have the money. And they are underhanded.

We are learning a lot about the history that was previously mostly guesswork, from Rossi's version.
I can hardly wait for the response from [lexicon]Ih[/lexicon] et al.

I'm afraid that, after this lawsuit, venture capitalists will not touch anything LENR with a 10 foot pole.

The burden of proof that the COP of the 350-day E-Cat run was less than 6 now rests with the Defendants. They will have to convince a jury by a preponderance of evidence that the COP was less than 6 or work out a settlement with Rossi to avoid a trial. It is apparent that Cherokee et al. were attempting to capitalize on Rossi's IP in more ways than one; licensing it, promoting his IP around the world (China, England, etc.) while attempting to patent an unlicensed variation of the same IP.. Furthermore, it is apparent that all parties to the test run have known for a year that Rossi's technology has been performing satisfactorily otherwise it is doubtful that
[lexicon]IH[/lexicon] could have convinced Woodford would invest $50M.

At least, an executive summary of the ERV report has been released in the form of a United State District Court Civil Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial. This may prove to be the first court battle in the Energy Wars of the 21st Century.

I think I can see in the distance Rossi riding on a Black Swan.
