Rossi vs. Darden developments [CASE CLOSED]

  • @THH,


    Here is Rossi's testimony regarding the condensate trap on the outgoing pipe (the one that goes from the 1 MW plant to the JMP plant).


    194-3, pages 180-181

    "11 Q. Where was the condensed steam collector

    12 placed?

    13 A. It was placed -- I set it up, I remember,

    14 together with Tom Darden and it was basically a

    15 rubber pipe with a cup at the bottom that had to

    16 collect -- there is -- okay.

    17 Along the pipe, the steam pipe that

    18 exited from the one megawatt plant to go to the J.M.

    19 plant, we have put this cup, this plastic cup sealed

    20 with the bottom of the steam pipe so that any

    21 dripping of water was visible at any time and it was

    22 put inside the insulation, but the insulation was

    23 made in a way that it could be easy displaced to pull

    24 down the rubber pipe, open the valve that was at its

    25 end and see if water was going down.

    Page 181

    1 And I remember perfectly that Darden

    2 together with me and Fabiani all -- quite all the

    3 times that Darden came down, he wanted to see the

    4 dripping of the water from, and we never have seen

    5 any dripping of water. And also the ERV. Also the

    6 ERV during his -- during his -- during the days in

    7 which he came controlled the dripping."


    So at least according to Rossi, there was a condensate trap.

  • No, not correct. When IH refers to the JMP container, they are not referring to a container that is outside the "customer space." That would be nonsensical.

    Look at the schematic in the Penon report. Look at what Penon wrote, and what Rossi confirmed. There were no measurements taken inside the pretend customer site. All of the calorimetry was performed with instruments outside the customer site. No one disputes that. No one but you, and you have no basis for what you say.


    Rossi did claim there was a massive radiator with fans blowing the heat out of the building. Evidently this was invisible, it made no sound, and it vanished the day after the test. Oh wait! It didn't vanish. They used the equipment for something else. Sure. Yeah. I expect you believe that too.


    Let me ask again: Now that you have seen this steaming pile of . . . nonsense, would you still award Rossi $267 million in damages? Are you really so convinced that Rossi's claims are true, and his reasons for not revealing how the gadget works are valid, that if you were a member of the jury, you would find I.H. guilty?

    But that isn't what I'm disputing, is it? Stop trying to put words in my mouth--not very polite. You suggested the JMP container was outside the "customer" space. But it clearly is in the customer space.

    It isn't a matter of guilt. It is a matter of liability. I'm still sorting through the documents. And boy is there a lot to chew on!

  • Another classic exchange at 194-3, page 302 (Rossi testifying):



    4 Q. So you -- you directed or requested for


    5 Jim Bass to work on a new control system that would


    6 be used by J.M. Products?


    7 A. Correct.


    8 Q. And then you requested or directed that


    9 Fulvio Fabiani assist Jim Bass in that project?


    10 A. Yes, because they are complimentary,


    11 because where ends Fabiani begins Bass and vice


    12 versa. They together make a good couple, electronic.


    13 Q. I will let that side. [probably said slide]


    14 A. Electronically speaking.

  • Some interesting points from some of the various exhibits.


    Exhibit 48.. James Bass ....

    Wow, this is interview is hard to believe... just like the entire eCat drama!


    "...I saw the heat strips

    that are installed on the serpentine pipes -- on the
    serpentine pipe.

    If you look at Exhibit 2, what are the

    heat strips? Is that the insulation?

    No, he had heat strips along some parts

    of it that are covered up now."


    ...Saw no product, saw no sales....


    "..So decisions about what equipment

    was being used on the J.M. Products side of the Doral

    warehouse, those were made by Andrea Rossi?

    A. Uh-huh. Yes."


    Bass about Rossi...

    "Of course, he was directly -- directly or

    indirectly my boss, however you want to look at that"



    Exhibit 50 is a chain of emails where Rossi is instructing how to word the requests from

    JM Products to IH for invoicing the "sale of heat". These are then titled JM Products, Inc.

    but are expressly from Rossi.


    Exhibit 52 (James Stokes, a state inspector)

    "...Okay. On the other side of the white

    door where this container was located, did you see

    any other equipment?


    A. Not that I recall, no.


    Q. Did you see any manufacturing equipment?


    MR. ANNESSER: Object to form.


    THE WITNESS: No.


    BY MR. PACE:


    Q. Did you see any chemical products?


    A. No.


    Q. Did you see any signs of a manufacturing

    process being conducted on that side, on the other

    side of the wall -- on the other side of the white

    door?


    MR. ANNESSER: Object to form.


    THE WITNESS: No.


    BY MR. PACE:

    Q. I assume you have been in a number of

    manufacturing facilities in the course of your

    career?


    A. Numerous.



    From Mr. Barker's interview

    ".... steam pipe, I thought, was too small, but there was nothing

    to be done at that point." (Seems like Mr. Barker saw the pipe and that is was not large enough! Go figure!)

    IHFB should like this! =O


    And this just scratches the surface!


    It is interesting how some state things such as "if the customer is proven fake, then I will certainly agree that the whole thing is fraud" and so on! I believe IHFB's

    last goal post was that if the outlet pipe is proven DN40, then he would admit the plant did not work. Let's wait and see......!


    There is now so much shown to be out and out fraud already, but some then "move the goal post" and state that they still believe and "something else" has to be shown before they are convinced Rossi is fraudulent. "That hole must be halfway to China by now!" ;)

  • Correct. It is that wall they erected in the middle of the room. Perhaps that is what is confusing IH Fanboy. All of the calorimetry was performed outside that wall. It shouldn't have been. That was an outrage. But it was.


    No, not correct. Because IH often refers to the JMP container as the JMP plant. And yes, all of the calorimetry was performed outside the wall (that is an entirely different and unrelated point).

  • @Jed, @Malcom


    Here you go. 194-8, page 115:


    4 Plants means -- ones of those plants is


    5 the -- is the E-Cat plant by Leonardo, correct?


    6 A. Yes, it is correct.


    7 Q. And this picture that we have as Exhibit


    8 8, that's reflected in the small piece of the red


    9 container that we can see on the right-hand side of


    10 the picture?


    11 A. Yes, it is correct.


    12 Q. All right. And the other plant is the


    13 J.M. Products plant and that we can see in this


    14 picture is the -- the top of the black box that we


    15 see on the right-hand side of the picture; is that


    16 correct?


    17 A. Yes, it is correct.


    18 Q. All right. Between those two plants --


    19 I'm sorry, I may sometimes call them containers


    20 instead of plants. Is that okay with you?


    21 A. No problem.

  • When placed under oath, Murray's story is just a tad bit different than what was in Exhibit 5:


    215-03, Pages 162-163

    25 Q.· · How do you know what the inside looked like?

    1·A.· · Because at the end of the test you and I and

    ·2· everybody else there had an opportunity to walk through

    ·3· and take pictures of and inspect everything on the

    ·4· inside of the container.

    ·5·Q.· · On the steam, on the -- I'm sorry.

    ·6·A.· · I'm saying on the reactor.

    ·7·Q.· · Okay.

    ·8· A.· · It should be located --

    ·9· Q.· · On the reactor?

    10· A.· · Yeah.· Near --

    11· Q.· · Okay.

    12· A.· · -- the BF units at the back of the reactor,

    13·all of the pipes coming off were what I believe are

    14·DN40, 40-millimeter pipes.· I actually have a picture of

    15·a pipe joint that actually flags it as a DN40.

    16· Q.· · Okay.· And those feed into a larger pipe,

    17 ·correct?

    18· A.· · They feed into a main, and then the main goes

    19·across to the Johnson Matthey facility.

  • Exhibit 48.. James Bass ....

    Wow, this is interview is hard to believe... just like the entire eCat drama!


    "...I saw the heat strips

    that are installed on the serpentine pipes -- on the


    serpentine pipe.

    If you look at Exhibit 2, what are the

    heat strips? Is that the insulation?

    No, he had heat strips along some parts

    of it that are covered up now."




    heat strips???

    what are the serpentine pipes?

    Why does he need heat strips?


    How do we know then what is under the insulation and if there was a heat strip near the output sensor under the insulation that were supplied from the customer's side?


    Could be a reason why Rossi so quickly destroyed the evidence and removed all those pipes, insulation and possibly heat strips. It would not take much at the thermocouple insertion to heat the sensor to misrepresent the temperature of the fluid by a few degrees. I have seen Rossi's "misplaced" thermocouples in his Italian demos.


    .

  • Sorry folks, I have to get some other things done today. Hope to dig into these docs again tomorrow. I must say, there is a TON of information. Much of it is NOT good for either Rossi or IH. Despite the voluminous information, we still don't have (as far as I can tell) a single picture of the flow meter / return pipe configuration.

    • Official Post

    Started reading 9;30 this morning and could not stop. Even called off my golf game, and I still have some more reading to go. We do not need a trial to get to the bottom of this anymore. It is all right there, and reads like a great novel. JD did a bang up job literally dismantling Rossi's case. It would be a travesty for something so frivolous be allowed to go to a jury.


    I actually think Rossi has a split personality. In his depositions, they were constantly having to establish which hat he was wearing, and he seamlessly answered in whatever role was called for. And when I say split, I mean not just two! He slips between Leonardo/Rossi/JMP Director and acts like Penon and Fabiani are just some strangers he never met.


    He is such a good liar too...and by that I do not mean it is hard to tell when he is lying, but how comfortable he is in telling an obvious lie. He makes stuff up as he goes also, and does not miss a beat doing it. Bet he could commit murder in front of 10 people, and pass a lie detector test.


    BTW Jed has been right all along...the data is that corrupted. I think an apology or two, may be in order?
