Here is another energy scam, which ran for decades. Some of the details are eerily similar to Rossi and his E-Cat.

No doubt that someone can come up with counter examples of real genius pioneers who made major breakthroughs that established science said was impossible. But most people only hear of the rare successes, and not of the common scams.

From the second story you linked:

Even today, scam artists promoting energy machines can find at least a few degree-holding engineers or physicists willing to declare publicly that they found no fraud or deception in the machines and who are convinced that new scientific principles are at work. So much for "expert witnesses".

That sounds so incredibly relevant to this case.

I find this whole Rossi situation fascinating. There is a certain amount of suspense in waiting to see how long Rossi can keep this going.

That invention sounds like John Galt’s motor to convert atmospheric static electricity to kinetic energy. Nice!
