The Big Difference Between Rossi’s and Other Energy “Breakthroughs”: The E-Cat is Ready for Market

It is not uncommon these days to read news articles about breakthrough energy technologies that have the potential to change the energy complex as we know it. There are many researchers working on developing cold fusion, batteries, solar panels, microgenerators, artificial photosynthesis, etc. and every now and then we will hear announcements of important findings that scientists have made. In almost all cases however, the discoveries reporte are made on the experimental level, in laboratory settings and much more time, money and work is required before commercialization will be possible.

It seems though that more often than not these technologies which have so much promise are not heard of again. There are a number of reasons why this may happen — lack of funds for research, unexpected technical difficulties, no investment capital, or maybe the technology is not reliable or powerful enough for a commercial application.

Perhaps these kinds of difficulties were on the mind of a questioner today on Rossi’s web site who asked, “Why would you want to produce commercial products so quickly ? . . . going into commercialisation too quickly has led a number of companies to bankruptcy : I remember the era of metal-air fuel cells. A more recent fashion is to lose money in start-ups working on new wind turbines. And finally, even for allready successful companies, producing and debugging a new product takes a lot of time, even the simplest. There are surprises every day.”

He took an early retirement and became a patent agent. And he is "very, very good". His success rate in getting patents granted is quite high. He's a bit of an odd duck. He majored in chemistry in college, but minored in English, and had really wanted to go to law school, but couldn't. As a chemist, he was a bit mediocre....but as a patent agent he's great. The skills needed as a patent agent are exactly his strengths and interests. He is a real stickler about getting all the details right, and following the absolute letter and spirit of the law.

Sounds like you've got a competent guy - and a friend to boot - doing your patent applications. Of course, it's not an exact science and the *real* test comes in the courtroom - having a high success rate of getting patent grants could be because the limitations are too narrow, and therefore difficult to enforce against perceived infringers. No intended criticism of your friend (me obviously lacking any knowledge of those cases), just pointing out that there are many factors that come into play "when the chips are down." That kind of experience is helpful when drafting applications in the first place.

In any case, kudos to you for your inventions and may they pay off well for you.

No, But I do know exactly how our Public Masters think and operate, and if you think for one minute our public masters would for one second allow we the subjects to ever have an abundant and cheap supply of energy, You sir have not been paying attention the last 40 or so years.
