I hope this is real but I’ve seen as much said by those who know more than I that its a sham as those that said its the real deal. I can’t wait to know for sure and hope this is what sets us (humanity) free. Can we take a poll of sorts? Is it real?
There is just no way the damn thing can work...but I hope it does! If it does work, it will change the world.
Maybe they just discriminate against poor spelling and capitalization.
I have come to the opinion that Rossi is a sloppy engineer. His measurements, methods, and documentation are crap.
But, he still may be onto something.
He has poor people skills too, according to Kevmo. I won't even go into his "character issues" and shady past. I don't know why anybody would consider him a competent scientist, engineer, or businessman. But read the comments on this thread. He gives people hope, just like the con artist in the White House.
But, he still may be onto something.
Like how to separate suckers from their money.
Can we take a poll of sorts?
***I would enjoy that.
I don’t know why anybody would consider him a competent scientist, engineer, or businessman.
***There’s that Energy Catalyzer thing, which has stood scrutiny from several reputable scientists who are far more qualified than you.
..
Why dont you buzz off and eat some garbage?
I’ll believe in it when we ‘see’ it.
I tend to be skeptical, given the lack disclosure, though a certain amount of secrecy about something like this is understandable.
What kind of scrutiny has the "thing" withstood besides the bathroom scale test? Did any of those reputable scientists publish their work in a real scientific journal?

“Brad Arnold sums the mood up perfectly when he said:
“I dont think it is too grandiose to say the hopes and dreams of countless people alive now, and that are yet unborn, are on Rossi this week. The importance of this occasion can not be overstated.”
I LOVE IT! There's even a video that stumbles all over the place trying to find enough grandiose claims of world changing significance, etc.
The only thing left out is time travel and fewer wrinkles.
Let’s see whether you are able to address a hypothetical. My guess is you ain’t.
If Rossi’s invention turns out to be cold fusion, all those grandiose claims are reasonable.
What would be your response to that?
Here, let me help you get past what you want to post. You feel it absolutely necessary to knock down the hypothetical portion of the statement, so much so that you will never really address it. Tons of blather about how this couldn’t be true, it’s too good to be true, he’s just a con artist.... blah blah blah, but never really addressing the hypothetical. Lots of FReepers suffer from this. Even after reading through this whole paragraph, they STILL cannot address a hypothetical. It’s just not in their nature to think inductively, they are simply inadequate.
Tesla was a genius and so sloppy he seldom put any big idea down on paper, it was all in his head, and the ideas worked.
Same with John Browning. he conceived mechanism ideas, then got with engineers and draftsmen to work out the details on paper.
IIRC, Browning thought of the idea for an autoloading rifle when target shooting a .44-40 Model 1873 Winchester with friends and seeing the weeds getting blown aside near the muzzle upon firing.
He got on his horse, rode to the shop and in a few hours had the jury rigged Winchester 73 capable of firing a cyclic rate of several hundred rounds a minute.
Yep.
“Browning converted a Winchester 1873 lever-action to an autoloader by using the action of the gases at the muzzle.”

“John Browning first experimented with self-loaders in 1889 when he modified a Winchester 1873 lever-action to work as an autoloader by using the action of the gases at the muzzle.”

I wonder if Bernie Madoff encouraged his investors to consider the hypothetical and think inductively.
No, not at all and here are a few examples of devices that work well and on well understood principles but hardly have changed the world
1. Solar hot water heaters. Simple in construction and reliable with a payback time of ten to twelve years. Even less if a home had hot water heat for space heating.
Why does not every house have one?
2. Thermal depolymerzation. The process can be used to handle a cities waste. The process works, the chemistry is well understood and produces usable oil besides solving a a disposal problem.
Why does not every city use it?
3.Animal cloning. An endless supply of the best livestock and any day now human cloning. End of story? It works well for some plants but no one has a herd of Kentucky Derby winning horses.
There are a great many inventions that actually work (to varying degrees) but never become world changing technologies.
Remember nuclear fission was going to make electricity all but free.
Reality has a way of sinking the a boatload of claims.
While they watching their net worth turn into the Hindenburg they probably had other things to think about.
