Well, Rossi handed out two samples, the before and after samples. If this is real (it's not) then all they have to do is assay the after samples and figure out the secret sauce, it's that easy.My long-winded attempts to explain why the samples provided by Rossi contradict Rossi's claims about his device:
.
There have been a few folks here on FR who know what they're talking about and not stringing together, scienc-y sounding words and their point is Rossi, if he is to be believed, has done the science world a favor by being able to create these different isotopes easily. There's also the little matter of quantity. How many E-cats in his shipping container, was it 102? That's a lot of nickel (at the correct isotope %) and his secret sauce.
In other places, he mentions E-cats all over the place where he is 'testing' them.
The bottom line on the catalysts is this:
Rossi does NOT have a legitimate reason to not allows third party tests with him or a rep around to ensure that they don't get Rossi's secret catalyst. The problem with that though, from basic chemistry, a catalyst is not used up in a reaction. What is my point? Well, Rossi handed out two samples, the before and after samples. If this is real (it's not) then all they have to do is assay the after samples and figure out the secret sauce, it's that easy. So, that can't be his real reason, he's already given it away and I expect him to have a B.A's knowledge of chemistry to know he handed out the catalyst so what is the real reason?.
