Nigel, you wonder..? 
The most simple and only one logical explanation is: his stuff doesn't work nor will it be approved for sale elsewhere in the world. Instead of making money like hell and buy the entire Florida peninsula he spends endless time with BS talks to himself for his followers on JONP and wastes millions in a completely useless lawsuit. What a man!
"That they can possibly not raise the sum" True or False? ... it is obvious, read the papers, there is no hint that there is any guaranteed contract, commitment what s ever for this sum.
"so they could not be interested seeing Rossi successfully running a long term test" True or False? ... the court papers say, that IH, Darden et.al do not accept this long term test for to meet the requirements of the license agreement and claim overhead that the test was not successful and denounce it as fraud.
I'm going to persevere in the face of sustained lack of comprehension. Rends you are not arguing logically here - and conflating different things.
Of course there is no guaranteed commitment, because they could not show investors working product, and would not ask for this until they did. The issue is whether it is most reasonable to suppose that with commercial LENR reproducible in their reactors tested by them - and any third party investors require - an investor would give them that money for an end of test payment to keep Rossi happy to this. The Cassarino notes make it clear that IH was thinking of this and that Woodford would very likely provide it. Common sense tells you that given such a disruptive low risk proposition many people would be interested.
Of course they don't think the long-term test meets the requirements of the GPT! That does not mean they are uninterested in a successful test. Key to their interest in the success was the independent customer that would provide validation. Except as we know they did not exist.
There might be a good chance that IH may have had different goals and played "their game" from the beginning in this contract in order to get access to Rossis E-cat technology (in case it potentially worked this would have been a gold mine), but had to realize later on, that they were caught by Rossis "magnificence" and put over the barrel with his fake 1-year-1MW-heat-sell to his secret customer manufacturing plant.
The first part of your speech is not necessarily connected to the second. You think it's possible that IH had a second aim when they started collaborating with Rossi and when you say "played their game in order to access Rossi's technology" it seems you conjecture that IH did not intend to pay him from the very beginning (maybe I'm interpreting you in the wrong way, I do not know). In any case, if IH had an initial purpose other than the one agreed upon in the contract, why do you think it was Rossi to cheat on them? Could it not be that IH has really made its initial plan?
Of course there is no guaranteed commitment,
Thus, IH signed a license agreement on the payment of over 100 million US dollars, without ever having approximately the sum of money available, in the dare hope that in the case of a successful test somebody else would give money. And what is a successful test determines IH alone and if they do not like the result, then the contract partner and all who were involved in the test are accused of fraud but the IP is nevertheless requested. And this should be a serious business?

You got me wrong, indeed. Sorry for my misleading fomulation: with "playing a game" I wanted to poit out that this is in my eyes common behaviour of VC firms and investors who are seeking for business opportunities and are taking the associated risk into account. Getting the potentially very important IP and a working product (at least for the US territory) was for sure a plan, but I am also sure that IH did not intend to not pay Rossi if he succeded. Having this product in hands with the claimed COP of 40+ would easily compensate any contract obligations. They probably trusted Rossi in the beginning, otherwise they would not payed the initial 1o Mio$ which Rossi decided to invested in buying condos in Miami and not in his magic E-Cat to make it ready for the market (or make it work at all...). Now we should be patient and wait for the court decision.
Wow. Two weeks without internet, and it is like time stood still here as far as I can tell.
Oh, well, another week, at least, without internet on my annual Boreal tour still to come... maybe two more weeks as I chase spring upwards in elevation.
Hopefully something will be resolved by then.
Not quite midnight sun here past midnight, but still blue skies...
Solstice is coming!
If I were a believer, I would be discouraged too. The news of the last 12 months:
Brillouin has moved the goalposts (again) to 2018
Rossi continues in a lawsuit against the company that was supposed to make him credible
The biggest news of 2017 (Me357) was a non-event.
Please stick to Prozac and don't (and I repeat: DON'T) do heroin...
That's a bit silly. If Rossi's technology actually did work, why would IH break a contract that, if in force, would net them billions?
The courts would absolutely slay them with damages and penalties.
In my experience, businessfolk (even VCs!) are not generally that devious. Greedy, yes, often: but openly so, and they stick to contracts because failing to do so costs them bigly in money and reputation.
Trump has a history of not sticking to contracts and stiffing his suppliers. Now he can get no credit, even lawyers don't want to deal with him, And if does buy any goods or services, you can bet your boots he pays top dollar, because the risks of dealing with him are priced in. So it goes for people who won't honour contracts.
QuoteIf Rossi's technology actually did work, why would IH break a contract that, if in force, would net them billions
It didn't break the contract - it didn't pay after finishing one year test in time according to agreement.
On the contrary, IH wants to keep E-Cat technology obstinately (why he should want to do it if it doesn't work) and he even issued a few new patents about it (which is one of reasons, why Rossi sued him).
Don't affraid, IH knows wery well, that the E-Cat technology works.
I was off the grid for awhile and suddenly the Rossi vs. Darden thread has gone dormant after having hundreds of posts a day. Did I miss a memo?

I realise this is your view. I'm struggling to see how this is coherent. We can argue, as the lawyers will, about the rights and wrongs of the contract. But how can it be in IH interest NOT to offer to pay up (at least something) if the delivered IP actually works. They were well aware Rossi wanted the money and was armed with lawyers. With working disruptive technology you surely don't imagine those notes from Cassarino talking about $200M funding and a pay-off to Rossi were unreasonable?
Looking at it now from Rossi POV, if his stuff works, why would he not demonstrate this to IH either by showing them how their reactors work (other than in the test setup that showed control reactors with high COP) or by allowing full access to the long-term test? After all his excuse of customer confidentiality does not wash. Surely Rossi would be highly motivated by $89M? And he has the rest of the world market to do his own deals in unrestricted by the IH contract.
Finally, if Rossi's reactors as given to IH work, surely Rossi would submit expert evidence to prove that? It is important (a) for his credibility with other investors and (b) to show that he has transferred IP to IH as required. IP transfer includes all the information etc necessary to reproduce working devices. It is quite clear that Murray was asking questions looking for answers, and a working e-cat tested by Murray would be a very convincing answer both for IH before the test end and for the Court now. Or, if Murray would not cooperate, just the recorded fact that Rossi had offered this would count strongly in his favour.

Discovery is now over, the motions to dismiss and for sanctions were denied and the case will go to trial later in the year. Nothing has been added to the docket in a while.
LENR now shares the same space in my mind as the Philosopher's Stone, Bigfoot, and the IC engine that runs on water. Phantasmagoria, followed by dedicated deniers of reality, but which fade and vanish when solid evidence is demanded.
Your mind indeed is a funny place.

That may be true of Rossi's version of LENR, but it does not apply to what Fleischmann and Pons discovered. That has been widely replicated at high signal to noise ratios. See:

Did you read the Penon report? I cannot imagine how any person with a junior high school level of knowledge could read that report and conclude that the E-Cat technology works.
The report is here:

Nigel,
I share your frustration, but only with the NiH side of LENR. They are the ones who promised the most and delivered the least. Of course, we all know about Rossi, but in addition to BEC you mentioned, Piantelli has also been a disappointment. His Nichenergy refreshed their website 2 years ago, almost reached a deal with MFMP, and we have not heard a peep out of them since.
Not sure how GEC fits in, but they were the only LENR based company to have almost sold a product, and since have dropped off the radar. How can that happen?
On the bright side, the FPs/PdD branch of the field seems solid, and looks to be on to something.

That McKubre review was published in 2009. Have there, in your view, been significant advances since? I recognise, of course, that there would be an understandable tendency to keep any such under wraps for as long as possible and for damn good reasons. Nevertheless, one would like to think that good, careful science and engineering were taking this forward.
I don't understand why bob Higgins and can run his expierements through all of you guys. Unless he needs a quick laugh every now and again from reading all of the silly back and fourth armchair scientists that no matter what argue about someone . Sure makes it hard for me to follow actual information. A lot of you seem like you know some stuff that would be helpful but even if you agree with someone you will go out of your way to research why you are more right than they are. Complete f...ing nonsense use that time to mabee help a little. Again if you do not believe that lenr works I am ok with that go on about your business and quit arguing try getting laid instead of comeing here every 5 minutes. (That was a joke). Seriously I have read some interesting things from one person in particular but lately he has turned into another guy who quit following because he was so pissed off at me356, mabee that guy just changed his name very familiar in his rants. Me356 has done everything he has ever said he was going to do so I don't see the problem let him do his patent thing and he will probably share more info. Rossi is all about a buck along with burllion blacklight power and everyone else . your talking about a shit ton of dinero here , so let's not pretend about this humanity thing and free to the world I like money too!!!!! so I am cool with whatever but I really want to know if it is possible so let's see if we can help a little more cause it is really starting to suck here and I only have three sites I care to follow. Pleeeease. Moderators feel free to move this to every other thread you have!
In the case of Rossi's Florida's run, are we talking about the low temperature Ecat ? If, yes, has IH tested the Ecat HT, a day, and with what results ?
Sorry, but I do not know.
