Mark,
None of these are vast improvements over prior "models"! And these minor improvements are to stop the release of the invention of the century? That they will stop the validation of truly independent testors? That they will stop the publishing of an accredited certification? That they would require showing a demo from your living room? (or kitchen?)
Not a single thing you listed has not been told by Rossi before during some version of his scam.
We had the Gas Cat... we had the Hot Cat... we had the 1 MW plant... we had the Quark, Quark X, SK , SKL and on and on.
If the original eCat did 1/2 of what Rossi claimed 11 YEARS ago, we would not have gas cars by now!
By introducing (and thus proving) ANY of his versions, Rossi would have likely WON a Nobel, been a Billionaire, by now and a movie made about him! What does he have now? A tarnished reputation that all but a very, very few die hard believers laugh at, money obtained by fraud lawsuit, no recognition and NO PRODUCT!
So you did give some specifics, but I say Rossi has made all these BEFORE at various times. Some units produced THRUST!, others produced "tuneable" lights! Others had great COP. He stated ALL of them had SATISFIED customers.
I disagree that .75 kw is even close to justifying holding back the invention of the century! It is like the Wright brothers stating they will not fly their Bi-Plane because they THINK they can create a mono-plane, which would be more efficient!
This is pure BS scam talk and I think you know it.
I have followed this story fore years, (I am not sure how long you have) and can state.
No collaborator of Rossi has ever came forward to endorse him. (Although A. Smith here gives the occasional thumbs up, even he seems to be quietly backing off support! ) This is indeed quite damning! The Swedish profs?.... embarrassing!
None of the many claimed customers have ever endorsed Rossi. The only known customer, IH, painted a very bad picture of him during the lawsuit.
The under oath depositions of Rossi himself, proved he lied and committed fraud. No customer, no production, false invoices, etc. etc.
I could go on and on, but this has been rehashed a thousand times. Rossi is a liar and conman. He has performed multiple scams such as gold money laundering, Petro Dragon and other schemes. He has spent time in jail, being convicted for fraud.
His claims are repetitive and follow the same pattern. The only change is that believers drop out after being burned and then new ones discover him (such as you and Sam) and carry the torch for a while. Almost all drop out after a while.
To believe in Rossi for long, one should also believe in Big Foot and self looping magnetic motors. They all have about the same level of proof!
You really think the "specifics" you listed are reasonable to delay the invention of the century? That you really think that these reasons are substantiated with any logic or data behind them? (Rossi says does not count for crap as he has said the exact same thing over and over for years)
The fact that if you ask him about the past, you simply get black listed? That is exactly how cult leaders work! "Do not question the anointed one or you get excommunicated"
You can actually state here that the mountains of evidence against him is repudiated by the ZERO evidence for him?! I ask this sincerely and would like to know how you balance this out.
Again, my reasoning for posting is that I sincerely believe Rossi is harming LENR. Although he is fading fast, his lies and ridiculous scam still casts a dark shadow on LENR. People who support him (or do not call him out.... wink, wink to certain people here) are only contributing to that black eye !
