The ECAT Floodgates Open! Now what will come out?

But there is something about the way this technology is being "sold" that just doesn't feel right

Maybe all the weirdness is just a function of the fact that -- considering the scientific community more or less says cold fusion is impossible and condemns anyone who says otherwise as wacky and "not serious" -- this is a pursuit that would naturally attract some of the more "different" types in the scientific world.

So stuff just gets done differently?

There is heat then there is heat. I think the demonstrations have produced wet steam, perfectly fine for making hot water or heating a house be almost useless for generating electricity. If this gizmo is for real, there is still a ways to go before it is ready to spin a generator.

A similar discussion with more detail, here at this thread, beginning at # 22.

That thread pretty much answered every thing I needed to know about Rossi.

Thanks.

There are too many people who want this to be true, that’s why I am skeptical.

That is a singularly odd statement and dischordant statement.

[Liberty1970]

In the other thread you mention you suggested that Rossi is now trying to get gullible investors to give him money for his invention. But where is the evidence that he is seeking or taking money from investors? Instead what we are seeing now is that he is accepting _buyers_.

There is a big difference between investors and buyers. Investors can be put off indefinitely with promises and razzle-dazzle while asking for more money. A buyer wants the product he is paying for, and I doubt Rossi will collect much money without first providing the goods. That's one big breakdown I see in the incessant attempts to link Rossi to past frauds. Rossi isn't saying he is almost ready. He is selling a product now. It either works or it doesn't.

No, the first comment you reference was that of another poster and the reply you give is the same one I gave that other poster.

You and I are saying the same thing.

[Liberty1970]

OK, sorry... that’s what happens when I try to multi-task like my wife! :-p

[Red Badger]

One of the stipulations of the sale contract may be continued secrecy, until such time as Rossi & Co. feel that it is no longer necessary to protect his device from intellectual theft by some foreign entity...........

Well I hope so. I want Rossi to succeed.

[fightinJAG]

So do I.

And once he starts delivering a product to customers, we’ll know how this is going to roll out.

[fightinJAG]

No problem!

Multi-tasking will be the death of us.

[fightinJAG]

You’re welcome.

"There is heat then there is heat. I think the demonstrations have produced wet steam, perfectly fine for making hot water or heating a house be almost useless for generating electricity. If this gizmo is for real, there is still a ways to go before it is ready to spin a generator."

Which is what Rossi has said from the start, and which is how his future development focus is set. Defkalion, OTOH, had intended to get into electricity generation sooner than Rossi, but at this point, no one (except they themselves) know what their status is.

[mamelukesabre]

I don’t know why you would say that. The common thread among all scams is the victims want the scam to be true so bad they ignore contrary evidence and common sense.

Well I hope so. I want Rossi to succeed.

He has already been to jail twice for fraud. Three times the charm?

What buyers? I haven't seen any buyers.
