Hi folks ... first post here.
(I’m the author of the “real or fake” analysis of the eCat at http://lenr.qumbu.com
***That was a fantastic piece of work. Hope to see you around these threads. I keep a cold fusion ping list if you’re interested in having something brought to your attention.
By the way, your analysis was very even handed. What I have noticed is that most of the venom comes from the anti-CF side. Does that correlate with what you’re seeing?
Also, have there been any updates since you posted the analysis? Has anyone actually contributed to knocking off a segment or 2?
Thanks.
On the technical front, most of the discussion has centered around the question of whether the steam was “wet” or “dry” — see Steve Krivit’s http://blog.newenergytimes.com/ for a very skeptical view. But it doesn’t amount to a DIS-proof.
But I put enough disclaimers in my paper not to have to rewrite it just yet. It remains “not proven”. I should add a clarifying comment, though.

Yes, but the PRO’s just have to be more cautious. I ran a couple of polls (primarily aimed at members of the vortex mailing list), and both extremes have moderated somewhat over the past month.
Business-wise, though, things are changing rapidly: Rossi announced he has cancelled his agreement with Defkalion. Well-reported at:

It seems to me that Defkalion ran out of money, so they couldn’t meet their promises to Rossi, who is now switching his attention to the US. (He says he will instll the 1MW plant in October, in the US)
There are conflicting technical statements from Rossi and Defkalion, but they, too, don’t amount to DIS-proof.
