I just finished reading the whole article, and it was fascinating. I had wondered how a man who is unemployed and apparently without any source of income could both finance the R&D necessary to produce a working system (accepting his device as genuine, for sake of my argument), and afford to travel extensively. But this little passage answered a lot:

After three more weeks, on July 6, Rossi offered to sell international licenses for rights to manufacture "products based on Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat invention" for € 40.5 million ($53 million) per factory, through his affiliate, Defkalion.

All Rossi needs is one gullible investor who desparately wants to believe him, and Rossi is set. He can afford all the shipping containers and plumbing hardware he wants for his "demonstrations."

Looking at the picture of the "eCat" (posted in the section "Synopsis of Report #4), I am stricken by one thing: the "eCat" consists of brand-new pieces of plumbing attached to corroded old pipes. Why is that?

Anyway, once again, thanks for the ping.

If you really want to laugh at the ridiculous nature of Rossi’s claims just ask yourself how does a person allegedly produce a nuclear device without licensing, NRC approval, etc. in an apartment? I mean, if a person really did have anything nuclear whatsoever, the feds, NRC, EPA, State agencies, etc., would be on that person’s doorstep inside the hour. Rossi? Nothing. Not a peep.
