I think the only thing that keeps many of us around is curiosity about whether there is anything Rossi cultists won't believe. Of course, I think we already know the answer to that.

... antimatter.... wow, what will come next ? Axions ? Black holes ? Parallel universes ? Reptilian shapeshifters ? Hollow earths ? ....

How long did it prove Relativity? Quantum physics?
How long has Rossi, Brilloiun have been jerking off the credulous?

Rossi has a long history of this.... throwing out a red herring to his supporters when the "news is slow"! This gives them a little excitement to keep the adrenalin flowing and fodder for endless
discussionspeculation on ECW and buys him time to come up with the next big revolution.My "top ten" list of Rossi distractions....
1) Gas cat - never seen, never demo'd but certainly much talked about.
2) Jet engines! Aerospace engineer collaborating! Even to this day, is mentioned occasionally.
3) Certifications! Must have them you know. Oh, they were even obtained! Never really states what type and by who. (No, the much talked about SGS was NOT an actual certification.)
4) Sigma 5! Has been achieved! uh.... what exactly? Never stated, never given any details, never by whom or how or what. But it IS Sigma 5! This "HAD" to be accomplished before proceeding!
5) Direct thrust! Yes, time to bring the aerospace engineers back in! Mysterious as they are.
6) Tunable light. Hmmm, while the recent demo did not broach this subject, it was certainly talked about and provided a distraction for quite some time. Even Axil is intrigued by it!
7) Direct electricity production! My, This was a biggie! Yet no evidence and the recent demo only used this as a possible speculation by believers as to why the power supply needed SO much cooling! (Uh. what happened to the Sigma 5 reliability here anyway?
)8. Visions of the night lit up by this wondrous miracle! Hey, we did not get a New Year's vision this year! Anyway, much talk about Rossi's vision of "block grid sized" electrical and light producing eCats that has since faded into memory.... (as most of Rossi's claims)
9) Norman Cook theory and collaboration. Rossi extolled the relationship and virtues.... oh wait... what happened? Never a word more about this partnership but not to worry! A new genius has taken his place! Carl-Oscar Gullström is now the poster boy and what a job he is doing! Oh the Cook days... yes they were exciting indeed.
10) And last in this particular list... when things are slow....and people start to waiver.... and something is needed to inject a little narcotic to get the eCat "high" back... THE ROBOTIC FACTORY! A long time fan favorite and sure to bring a smile on everyone's faces. Surely "mass commercial production" is just around the corner! Talked about for 6 years now.
Now next year, I am sure we can add this "anti-matter" fiasco to the list.
Rossi should have been a televangelist! He could have made his millions and not had to sit in a blue container "16 hours a day"!
Seriously though, Rossi is quite good at this and their is no doubt in my mind, these types of announcements are intentional and quite effective. Rossi seems to truly thrive on adulation from his fan base.
bob,
Televangelist is good,
On the other site I suggested Rossi should be selling Amway products,

Longview wrote ", ALL at taxpayer's expense without perceivable taxpayer benefits"
The cost of the magnetic fusion program in the US was about #300 million per year before it was decreased.
http://tech.mit.edu/V132/N9/olynyk.html
If the US was to cut annual military expenditure (>$600 billion) by 5% there would be more than enough for any kind of fusion R&D.
However this cutting would require real military intelligence.
Military intelligence is as rare and expensive as unobtanium.
"In September of 2017 the United States Senate followed President Donald Trump’s plan to expand military spending, which will boost spending to $700 billion dollars,"
Bocjin,
The US military is actually loaded with very intelligent people, however they are without doubt the most wasteful of all government agencies. Basically no one gives a crap about cost controls. You either spend your quarterly budget, or forget advancement. We used to have a special room where we stock piled all our end of quarter purchases. Had things in there no one would ever use, but served the purpose of spending your departments very last fiscal dollar.
We did touch and go, instrument, pattern practice fully fueled, just to burn extra fuel to surpass the monthly "quota". No one ever talks about this, because it is considered unpatriotic to question anything military.
That said, the US Military is the best fighting force in the world bar none.

Just something we may have to forebear with Axil. Be prepared for slowness to correct such miss-spellings. For example, condinsate for condensate still sometimes persists years after its first occurrence. Once one gets the intended meaning, the unconventional orthography (heterography?) is quite harmless and appears to just come with the territory of Axil's expansive imagination. Admittedly, it may drive some with moderate obsessive-compulsive disorder to seek counseling or recreational drugs.
... but nevertheless, not knowing how to write basic words but spreading illusive particle theories, which usually require a good knowledge of physics, bite each other so strong, that it is obvious, that the person simply does not know, what he is posting....

Then why has the Taliban won the war in Afghanistan? Why did North Vietnam win the war in Vietnam?
I suggest the U.S. is the best conventional force. Perhaps not the best for all conflicts, or measured soldier for soldier. It is certainly not the most cost effective force.
If cold fusion is perfected, the U.S. military and all other military forces will soon be obsolete in many ways, as I described in my book. U.S. aircraft carriers are already obsolete and as useless as wooden ships were in the Civil War up against ironclads.

Jed,
Sometimes you can win every battle, but still lose the war. Afghanistan and North Vietnam were two very different type conflicts, but in both we literally kicked the enemies ass in every encounter. The kill ratio in almost every battle fought (even some of the few we lost) -including against the Chinese in the Korean War, were all heavily in our favor. Even now, it is safe to say the Taliban is getting their asses handed to them almost daily.
Unfortunately, that does not always translate to winning the war. When you are the foreigner, it eventually takes the local population to turn battlefront wins into a full victory. The South Vietnamese did not do their part, and neither are the Afghans now.
About the aircraft carriers...you are absolutely correct. They are obsolete in an all out war. However, they are extremely effective in projecting peacetime power, carrying out missions in smaller, regional conflicts, and thereby making an all-out war less likely. The USN knows all that BTW.
And while I would like to think that LENR will make military forces obsolete, my skeptical side tells me human-kind will find some reason to keep killing each other nonetheless. That "book", or what I refer to as a military manual, for instance, will ensure conflict for as long as we inhabit the same planet. As long as we keep fighting each other, the military will be around.

I just can not believe anyone pays attention to the guy anymore
and yet here you are, repeating this kind of line every couple weeks
Olol why are people still interested in Rossi
But hey you're the most friendly of the 3k+ posts shills here, your colleagues are more likeOlol why are people still interested in LENR
At least you got the least toxic part of the good cop/bad cop routine! -
there are many invalidating counter-examples in the history of science.
We're not, in LENR, dealing as much with science, as with a stale, rancid and angry academia, and with a market whose freedom is abhorrent for some entrenched interests.
Don't expect shills to be able to engage in rational conversation. -
Hohum. Another day another LENR research team claims groundbreaking results. And another day where the results are not sent to an independent research lab for verification before the announcement. Move along, nothing to see here.
-
What a troll.

Wow that's really profound criticism you are offering there LINR. Kudos! Maybe you could even enhance it with a "there is no theory for it" "it can't be true because it can't be" or maybe a "it is against the basic rules of physics"?
