So, 100 grams of Nickel and maybe 300 grams of hydrogen, generates 100 times more energy than a battery of its size, lasts 20 times longer. That’s a significant development. Who cares if it ain’t nuclear?Except that the most optimistic estimate of the excess energy is 3-6 times (down from Rossi's original claim of ~250 times), and no dog & pony show lasting more than hours (down from Rossi's original claim of running it six months to heat his factory).
If it's actually generating excess energy in any amount, that would be a significant development. But Rossi has been carefully avoiding any test that would prove that beyond the possibility of fraud.
Rossi claims to be turning Nickel into Copper, which makes it nuclear. Of course, it's incredibly fortunate for all of us that his "Mr. Fusion" emits no harmful radiation or radioactive isotopes while it's running. Almost too good to be true.

***Nahh, Rossi is just a sloppy engineer. He gets the device to go into “Heat After Death” mode for 4 hours or 5.5hours and he thinks that should be enough for anyone to see that he’s got something.
He’s got a customer. He claims his customer is gonna buy this first-of-its-kind plant. Soon enough he’ll have hundreds of customers. I remember reading that he already had a backlog of 5 years. After he sells his 20th device, there won’t be any more seagulls pooping on these threads and anyone who yells FRAUD at that time is going to be seen as a pasquinade.
So now the next phase of Operation Rossi begins. It’s like that old joke about a capitalist who has 2 cows, sells one and buys a bull.
If a communist has two cows, he gives both to the government, and the government sells him some of the milk.
If a Socialist has two cows, he gives both to the government, and the government gives him some of the milk.
If a Nazi has two cows, the government shoots him, and takes both cows.
If a Capitalist has two cows, he sells one and buys a bull.
If a New dealist has two cows, he kills one, milks the other, and throws away the milk.
If a Liberal has two cows, he sells them to the rich, then taxes them one cow and gives it to the poor.
If a Conservationist has two cows, he locks them up and charges people to look at them.
If a seagull troll has two cows, he doesn’t believe it.
If a Taoist has two cows, he lets them wander off.
If a Platonist has two cows, he looks for two others to milk.
If a Aristocrat has two cows, he sells them and buys one big one.
If a Pacifist has two cows, they stampede him.
If a government worker has two cows, he can’t sell them, fire them, or even label them as cows.
If a Hillary Clinton has two cows, she robs the ranches and gives everyone two cows. If she doesn’t have enough, she gives them bull.
There is, so far, dispute over whether the phenomenon is the strong force at work an atom at a time, or the weak force at work using tunneling.
So, if your concern is this doesn't conform to your understanding of the strong force how is it that it doesn't conform to your understanding of the weak force?
