Rossi is determined and defiant says the headline. The October 28 testing date for the one megawatt E-Cat unit is fast approaching and it's success or failure means everything to the commercialization of the E-Cat devices.
Rossi is quoted as saying:
"We will run also in self sustained mode, the periods will depend on many factors. In any case, the power output will be 6 times the power input. About the snakes: the time of the snakes is over. The start up of the 1 MW plant is the end of the mental masturbations of enviuos, wannabe theorists, lecturers of calorimetry and engineering. Now LENR goes to the market. The test will not be made by me, but by the Customers’ consultants. Time of chatters is over. Maybe the test will not be good, maybe: it will be the first time I will start up a plant of that dimension, but in this case the problem will be the Customer, not the bunch of imbeciles that instead of understanding that we actually made LENR a reality lose their time digging holes on the surface the water in the middle of the ocean to find the wine. And in the case this test will go not well, we will learn and remake another, and another, and another, but, be sure, we will arrive to the target. At any cost."
The measure of success has been stated, the test is set and the fat lady has yet to sing.

What a jackass...
If it doesn’t work it is everyone else’s fault? What a nutjob.
E-cat, eh?
It’s so stupid, I’m surprised the Obamaloon collection O’science illiterates have not given it a few $billion.
Let’s see. Rossi’s E-Cat = A dubious man, with a dubious education, and a dubious past, making dubious claims, about dubious new energy output devices. Nah...no reason to be skeptical at all.
Doesn't sound very confident does he?
Unless perhaps Rossi is going to be on site and look over the “Customer consultant's” shoulder, in which case it's Rossi’s test.
If the big test is simply a repeat of the earlier demo then the “snakes” can save the plane trip to Italy.
Rossi created the circus, it's a bit late to complain about the spotlight now.
As my elderly uncle said of pro wrestling,
“Sometimes I think those guys fake it”.
Sounds like Rossi believes his own test is going to fail.
The atmosphere above the earth carries an electrical charge opposite the earth. The higher one goes, the greater the difference in potential. Therefore tether a balloon with a copper wire about a thousand feet above the earth and have free energy, free electricity.
One might want to try a lesser height and do so in good weather. Why isn't everyone on to this!!!??
Or lowering expectations that he created.
He was elderly and from a different time. He worked most of his life as a carpenter and never had a written contract, a handshake was trust enough. Only one person in all those many years broke that trust with a bad check.
So when he made that comment I could only agree that, yes, it’s possible.
Using the cover of mad ramblings to plant the seeds of doubt to keep the true believers following after a less than exciting outcome on the 28th IMHO.
The plan, as described is madness from an engineering standpoint anyway. In my career, I have been forced to send first article prototypes to customers, but not without at least some rudimentary performance testing. This plan: Don’t know how it works, don’t know if it works, but they’re going to turn it over to a customer and let them fire up the whole smash. And they’re going to be in production in months.
I’m trying hard to be a neutral but skeptical observer, but it’s getting harder.
He could be talking about Congress here.
I wonder what the “self destruct” mechanism is...Maybe that's a code name for the whole project.
