Install one offsite, let it run, and see what happens. As long as Rossi keeps playing these “look but don’t touch” games, it’ll never be more than a protracted parlor illusion.

Sounds encouraging. Rossi et al should set up a blind test and let the chips fall where they may. This secrecy crap is geting old, either it works or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t work, end the kabuki theater and go back to the drawing board. The only way he’s ever going to make money on LENR is to prove it works and go to market.

If Rossi does that, his intellectual property is very likely to be stolen. He claims he’s sending units to paying customers, so he may yet already be “Installing one offsite, let it run, and see what happens.” If he’s been pushing snake oil this whole time, those customers will be squawking very loudly right about now.

***He may have found a way to protect his industrial secret and yet sell to customers willing to pay. Why should he care if people who are never going to buy one of his units within the next 5 years says, “This secrecy crap is geting old”?

Has Rossi applied for and been granted a patent? If not why not?

I look forward to the scientific community’s response to this and, most importantly,

How are they going to respond if they never see it? The "report" is unpublishable.

and, most importantly, to see if it can be replicated by an independent research group.

In other words, the current group isn't independent.

He's making money by selling distribution rights. He'll never have to produce a working device to make money.

Seems this gets posted about every day. Is there some reason for promoting this? Is someone hoping to find investors?

I remember reading about this well over a year ago. Seems it’s on FR almost every day.

because the USPTO does not grant patents in this area of research

Don't you think that if someone had actually invented a device that would end the world's energy problems that he'd want it to be independently tested? Once tested he'd then then collect billions upon billions of investment dollars to put the device into production....

If the thermal camera is correct, that is quite warm, indeed.

I work with thermal cameras, and on most of them, especially the more sophisticated ones, you can play all sorts of games with calibration, emissivity scale, etc.

IOW, I wouldn't take the temp in the photo as necessarily representative of actual temps reached.

There you go LYING again. They DO give patents.

I didn’t post about Rossi for over a year. Then his device was submitted for independent (yet black box, so the industrial trade secret is preserved) testing. Those 7 scientists would have been free to publish that the device is a fraudulent POS if that was what they found. But instead, they find that the measured energy density is 50,000 times more than gasoline.

For a moment, presume that this thing is real. It would be the most significant technical development since gunpowder. Now assume for a moment that it aint real. It would make Rossi the greatest con man & magician in history. Either way, it is a significant issue that one would expect to be well discussed on FR.
