Long but interesting read and multiple sources to separate rumor from fact
Believe it or not.
Small quote about SPAWAR
Rossi’s Mystery Customer Performs Disappearing Act, Twice Posted on November 12, 2011
On Nov. 2, John Brandon published a story on Andrea Rossi and his claim of an “energy catalyzer” on Fox News.
Brandon speculated, based on what he read on Sterling Allan’s free energy blog, that U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego was Rossi’s mysterious customer and that they measured and verified Rossi’s test.
On Nov. 9, I asked James Fallin, the director of public affairs at SPAWAR San Diego, “is there any truth to the suggestion published on Fox News that SPAWAR is, or is considering purchasing any device from Andrea Rossi?”
“No truth at all,” Fallin wrote.
On Nov. 11, Mark Gibbs, writing for Forbes.com, wrote that Craig Brown, who operates the Free Energy Truth Web site, claimed that Rossi’s “first” customer was Austin, Texas, based National Instruments Corp.
Gibbs checked with National Instruments. According to John Pasquarette, Vice President of Corporate Marketing and eBusiness, National Instruments did not purchase a 1 MW cold fusion plant from Rossi.
Sander Olson, a writer for Next Big Future, contacted me yesterday about the SPAWAR rumor.
“After having read your articles on E-CAT and receiving independent confirmation from SPAWAR that they are not taking possession of any device from Rossi,” Olson wrote, “I have decided that he is almost certainly a fraud and [I] will not pursue an interview. I always suspected that he was a fraud and I now find the evidence overwhelming. Thank you for providing assistance in this matter.”
Hi Lx
that doesn’t change the fact that
1) SPAWAR doing their own independent research, positively confirmed radiation from Nickel-Hydrogen LENR. They have several hour long videos describing their research and results.
2)Someone confounded the fact that NI’s instrumented system was being used to control Rossi’s reactors - as flogged to death on other threads - with the possibility that NI had bought Rossi’s units. That does not change the fact that Rossi is using NI’s control systems to control his process as confirmed in multiple places.
3) Just because Sander Olson takes it as fraud - does that mean it is a fraud - hell no. Barak Obama believes in in the 13th Imam is coming - does that mean he is?
4)When Sander Olson applies for his own US patent claiming an opposite effect from Rossi then maybe I would be mildly interested in what he said.
However, Sander Olson is an Historian: “Sander Olson, 33, is Vice President of NanoApex Corp., has a bachelors degree in History, and a Masters degree in the History of Technology and Science.”
Good old Sander is a history buff and I always consult my high school history teacher when I am checking on the validity of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions.
you’re joking right?.
