“Im content to let Rossi and his customer test the ECAT and in the end, we will all know the truth. Why should anyone rush to point fingers or make unprovable accusations now?”
Okay, those are good points. My question, speaking as a dumkopf, is this: if he has it and it works, where is it? Why doesn’t he just show everybody and shut the critics up?
All that would do is help his competitors (another point which proves this is unlikely to be a scam — other people are frantically trying to soak up any details they can from Rossi’s project to help them in their own work on LENR).
For this technology to go forward, it needs to be funded for R & D and so on. The best way to do that is to preserve its profit potential for future customers, who no doubt will want to preserve the reactor’s patents as well as anything about the process that can be labels proprietary.
Seems to me that can only be done by limiting the public disclosures to those necessary to attract R&D funding and venture capital.
