I stated repeatedly that he would be a bigger fool than you accuse him of being for showing anything to anyone not bound to confidentiality. For you or others to claim otherwise demonstrates to anyone dealing itn IP that you are clueless.

This would make sense except for the fact that Rossi has been holding a dog & pony show every month for a year.

to those who say that there is no science behind his work and that it is magic - that you obviously did not look at SPAWARs videos, read Stremmous, Smiley or the host of other who have been doing work which parallels, or corroborates in part Rossi’s very limited disclosures.

Just because there is legitimate science going on doesn't mean that Rossi is doing science. In fact, he obviously isn't doing science. Science relies on independent replication of results to exclude the possibility of fraud, and Rossi has steadfastly refused to allow that.

Rossi has ante’d up with his own money, invested in prototypes, and has prepared a US patent application

Rossi's patent application is a good example of his misdirection. It's not a patent application for a "cold fusion reactor" or anything of the sort. It's a patent application for an completely ordinary electric water heater. You can't patent something unless you include a complete technical description of it in the application, and Rossi's application contains nothing relevant. So, even if the Patent Office screws up and accepts his patent, it doesn't provide any protection for what he's claiming to try to protect.

All Rossi's patent does is impress people who don't understand patents.

I do question, however, why Rossi suddenly decided that it was OK to start offering to sell his gadget to people all over the world, even though he certainly doesn't have any legal protection for it. What's changed since the end of October?

There are several site like http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/

Ah, Rossi's blog, which pretends to be a scientific journal.

such as the much corroborated transmutation of Nickel into Copper with discussion here: http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=473

Funny you should mention that. HERE, HERE and HERE is a thread where I took apart that particular argument. The "before" and "after" samples that Rossi provided actually contradict all of Rossi's claims about what is actually going on in his E-Cat.

In the paper you reference, Bettini claims that it's ⁵⁸Nickel that is transmuted into ⁵⁹Copper. But this would leave a lower than normal amount of ⁵⁸Nickel and an excess of ⁵⁹Coppern in the resulting "ash". However, the analysis of the sample showed no such thing.

In other places, Rossi has claimed that he's transmuting ⁶²Nickel and ⁶⁴Nickel into Copper, but there isn't enough of those isotopes (less than 5%) to create the amount of Copper claimed by Rossi (30%). If Rossi were really converting all the ⁶²Nickel and ⁶⁴Nickel into Copper, there wouldn't be any of those particular isotopes left. But the analysis showed the normal amounts of each.

Finally, if Rossi (as he has claimed) "enhance" specific isotopes of an element without massive industrial processes, for pennies a gram and in kilogram quantities (as he must if he can sell a six-month "fuel supply" for $10 - $20), then that is a much more important breakthrough than his E-Cat. The medical uses of such a process would be worth billions. And yet, Rossi is using it to make tea kettles. That's a little bit like Thomas Edison developing the light bulb, and then only using it in Easy-Bake Ovens.

Sorry to "harsh your buzz", but you really don't know what you're talking about.

Hi Johhny,

I never said I knew for certain that Rossi can do what he says he can do.

Regarding SPAWAR, Stremmons and Smiley I stand exactly by what i said.

Regarding trade Secrets and Intellectual Property I stand by statements - you need to read the Act and have it litigated - he is doing exactly what he should be doing including his intentional misdirects.

I have several patents (five) and also license trade secrets and could care less if his patents teach you how to make it.

He needs to show novelty, and give just adequate instruction to one “skilled in the art”. Unless you are skilled in the art of making what he has made and you aren’t - then he has what is called a “basic patent”, which offers the most broad and deep patent protection.

And since it is now “first to file” - he got everyone else covered, since he is first to file.

And to the rest he has misdirected especially his critics by giving them contradictory “evidence”.

I love your “easy bake oven” and Edison light bulb analogy, since it took the inventor of the easy bake oven, Ronald Howes working for Kenner, a along 30 minutes or so to put together his first prototype of Easy Bake; as compared to Edison who worked “In the period from 1878 to 1880 Edison and his associates worked on at least three thousand different theories to develop an efficient incandescent lamp”.

So Rossi is going to produce an Easy Bake instead of the Edison Light Bulb - well good for him - that means we will be seeing the fruits of his labor sooner.
