If it is a fraud, it will become clear soon enough. And since he seems to be saying nobody should give him money until he delivers, it seems that the only people who could be “defrauded” would be people who don’t take his advice. Pretty odd fraud.
Absent attempts to steal money from people, at worst he’s just stringing us along in an elaborate april fool’s hoax. I certainly am not making plans for my future based on his device, so if it turns out his device doesn’t work, it won’t bother me a bit, and if it DOES work, it will be cool.
“Pretty odd fraud.”
This is very standard Fraud/Con, that is why I detected it so quickly.
The internet is great, you can see a con going on from a distance and keep your wallet safe.
Some interesting Q&As today on Rossi’s site:
Q: I think one of the great attractions of your technology is that it seems to be mature enough to be able to fit in with the existing energy infrastructure without too much modification.
We hear so much these days about the problems that coal fired power plants present. It would seem logical that your technology could be incorporated into an existing power plant — instead of burning coal for heat, just use the E-cats to provide the heat to drive the turbines.
Do you see any problems with this approach?
Rossi’s A: I agree perfectly. The integration of our reactors with existing power plants is one of the easiest applications we have ready. We are working in this very promising direction.
Good question, thank you,
Q: What would be the real danger if an E-Cat system would be subject to a hard physical shock ? (also – we could say – an earthquake with the collapse of the building where the E.Cat is working).
Rossi’s A: The E-Cat, when turned off, is just a piece of metal with Ni inside, plus some other substance which doesn’t start any kind of reaction. By the way: we are far from automotive applications, as well as from household applications, for which many barriers have to be resolved. We are ready to produce heat in industrial or centralized distribution, right now, or to integrate heat production in existing power plants.
