What Rossi is doing is not a replication of Pons,
***He is building on it. Focardi was a well known LENR researcher. The problem with LENR is that it’s hard to get a reaction to start reliably. Rossi solved that.
which many labs have investigated independently.
***Glad you accept such a simple fact. It is within this context that Rossi developed his catalyzer. It worked so well that Ni-H is now considered easier to reproduce than D-Pd. Before Rossi it was definitely the other way around.
The “customer” is an unverified mystery.
***Ho hum. We all know that. POTO: Pointing Out The Obvious.
I am saying that trying to wrap what Rossi is doing in a cloak of science is wrong.
***This isn’t science, it’s business.
Science would have no secret formula.
***IBM did this kind of stuff all the time.
We agree that this is a business issue, and Rossi is engaged in informercials - not science. Further, according to Rossi, the Fusion-O-Matic is selling.
***There is some science in those infomercials. For those of us who are inductive reasoners, we can catch it. But the “mundanes” will miss it.
Then how can you claim that "Ni-H is now considered easier to reproduce than D-Pd. Before Rossi it was definitely the other way around."?
