Enjoy the game children.
My apologies.
I just get so .... frustrated at you techo geeks and scientists knowing that I’ll never be ‘in the club’.
: )
I still do not know what an ECAT is nor care.
ok,...I’m getting upset again...better go.
Alas, looking at the Steorn folks (um...), these things don't appear to blow up so much as simply fade away.
Thanks for the ping
The Cold Fusion Ping List

Unfortunately, if Rossi did the following:
1) hired a bunch of actors to pretend to be the customer reps,
2) created an elaborate year-long special-effects-derived series of demos,
3) bribed, hypnotised or otherwise fooled Focardi, Levi, Kullander, Essen, Bianchini, Stremmenos
4) arranged for Piantelli, Miley and a host of others to try to fool the world into thinking that cold fusion was real,
5) got NASA, SPAWAR, The Defense Threat Reduction Agency and The Defense Intelligence Agency to say nice things about the field,
6) got Bushnell to make a fool of himself,
7) and convinced his former partners to set up another company called Ampenergo to pretend that they had a contract for The Americas for a substantial sum
-—— or that they just did this with no proof because they have worked with Rossi and trust him because hes such a fine fellow,
8) sold his profitable company to his ex-partners in order to spend that wealth on a multi-million dollar scam;
-—— certain that once he got all the above ducks in a row he would pretend to sell the first device
-—— and then reel in the true target of his dastardly plan
9) and convinced a bunch of Greek crooks to set up a dummy company called Defkalion
-—— to pretend to fight with him over the non-existent eCat,
-—— to perpetuate the illusion and spin it off into a competing mirror-scam
[the second (this time genuine) buyer of a 1MW plant that will net him $2 million dollars
-—— until they want their money back or sucker a $100 million dollar deal under the table
-—— because he has experience in pulling the wool over all these idiotic eyes
-—— and knows that they will just take his word for it
-—— and not want to test if his 1MW plant can heat a small village without truckloads of coal or oil or a big fat electric cable coming into the container from beneath the floor (no you cant lift the carpet!) ]
10) and that, in order to pull this off, Rossi had to risk discovery by interviewing all the people he subsequently fooled so that he could only invite the gullible Professors and not the brilliant anonymous posters on the Internet who surely would have found him out
then, yes, all bets are off and Im with the guys who think that Rossi is an idiot and they are all geniuses.
If a legitimate scientist wanted to verify that nickel was fusing with hydrogen, producing copper, and wanted to publish the work in a legitimate journal, what would he do?
I'd like to see the schematic for that. Seems plausible but why would you need a battery?
Unless you have a way to make this device hover, how does it cut across the Earth's magnetic fields?
Let me highlight the relevant line:
[the second (this time genuine) buyer of a 1MW plant that will net him $2 million dollars
So, does this mean the first buyer was a fake or are you referencing something up thread?
The battery supplies current to keep the light lit during periods where the motion is too small to light it.
They can go for years.
A legitimate scientist would look for, in your words, the “other things.” It would be relatively easy to do, and wouldn’t give away Rossi’s methods, unless he’s running a scam.
I’d like to see a schematic for this. Preferably using tubes but then I’d need two, one to power the heater.
I don’t see how this thing works, it’s moving at the same speed as the Earth. Is it taking advantage of the wobble in the axis?
Why can’t it be scaled up to power larger devices?
LOL! - Tubes, really?
It works exactly because it cannot move with the earth.
The Earth jiggles and wobbles, and the inertia of the coil is forced to cut magnetic lines of force.
A small sealed battery, a large coil, and preferably a bridge rectifyer, and a small light bulb, all in series will work, but refinements can be made to make it work better with one extra diode to place the bulb across the leads of the coil.
>> “Why cant it be scaled up to power larger devices?” <<
.
Tesla said that it can. I’ve never tried. (money?)
He left something like 1944 to 1955 missing ~ so I found out ~ and kept it private.
A couple of Jewish friends of mine at work thought he'd been a Nazi death camp guard ~
The CIA usually does a pretty good job rebuilding life histories for these folks but sometimes a bit of nit picking (44 to 55) nails it to the wall.
They worked it up ~ the magnets were huge! Monstrous actually and well beyond the then current technology to build. However, there's a regular current there and if you could build the magnets to provide the proper field for the water to flow through, you'd get a whale of a current.
It's not doable though.
Once upon a time I had to review the resume of a fellow who'd been a Soviet defector.You sure do like to drag threads into totally unrelated directions, don't you?
That Rossi could be some sort of soviet defector is far more ridiculous than anything I've seen claimed here.
Or are you trying to suggest that people in secret re-identity programs go out and spend a year turning themselves into international celebrities with news coverage in dozens of major publications?
How about this complex, vast conspiracy theory: After 35 years, he got the date mixed up.
Yet, other people just cruise on by.
STUFF HAPPENS.
Thanks for the detailed info, I appreciate it.Just an FYI update: According to the folks on the Vortex mailing list [LINK] Rossi has a Master's Degree, not a Doctorate. I've given up trying to understand Italian translated to English by Google Translate. It just isn't up to the apparently florid nature of much Italian writing.
The tubes part was a joke.
Do you have a schematic? I’ll breadboard it this weekend, I no doubt have all the parts already and I’ll let you know its performance.
I should be able to leave it in my office and just let it light the bulb, while at the same time have the exact same type and voltage battery hooked up to the exact same light (with just the battery and light) to form a control. If the circuit you provide lasts longer than the control, it works. Hopefully both lights will burn at the same brightness.
