The demonstration provided for Steve Krivit was far from convincing.

[Trod Upon]

I think it’s probably a sham, but I’m willing to be convinced.

[Moltke]

You should join forces with fellow FReeper Swordmaker and start pimping the *iE-Cat*

[Free Vulcan]

I guess basically the way I’d put it is that he’s using his own money and says he’ll have a working plant in October. If he’s a fraud we’ll find out soon and spectacularly, and not too many people will be out of their hard earned cash.

Impacting someelses income stream is not my concern

If they deliberately slow the importation of the device, that’s just blatant corruption

If it works... it would save every household thousands per year

[badgerlandjim]

Too many reports of anomalous results by too many researchers over too many years to deny the authenticity of the process. Has Rossi tamed the process and made it useful? I have a hunch he has.

What do you think about Andrea Rossi's E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) technology?

What do you think those who were heavily invested in whale oil and gas lamps thought about Edison's boast of bringing about gentle electric home lighting (as opposed to the harsh arc lighting used in large venues) before and after he did what he'd said he'd do?

The E-Cat or something similar will work or it won't. Either way, someone will get rich and someone will have screwed themselves over believing current technology is nth technology.

The Peebles book, including the section on cold fusion, is available here: http://books.google.com/books?id=hTaw4Ht4Vi8C&printsec=frontcover

It basically says that Pons-Fleischman deuterium cold fusion won’t produce significant energy. Published in 1992, it doesn’t have anything to say about the energy catalyzer.
