The Rossi Effect is indeed real
I am not sure what the Rossi Effect is. He has not stated what he is doing openly.
I do know that that the idea of H and Ni being active has been around for a long time and was even mentioned in pat. applications in '89. And people like Thermocore and CETI had working systems at low power.
I am not convinced at all that Rossi has controllable thermal output for extended times at high levels. I do not see Rossi as wanting to commercialize LENR. He actually had what he claimed he should have done it in NC and I am sure it would be on the road to commercialization but he did not. He seems to just want to gain money. He could have even gone with public open demos and gotten all the crowd funding he would need to commercialize.
I am sorry but I just don't see any action by Rossi that lead me to believe him. I see no effort by him to do anything support the LENR efforts or to farther scientific knowledge. I see nothing in the filings to support his claims.
