No, there were at least two tests done with the same seasoned
university scientists present.
Really? They knew what was inside that device?
No, it was not a 'staged' demo... And Rossi had very limited
control. From everything that I've
read, which is considerable, Rossi brought in the reactor but it was
the Univ of Bologna scientists
that set it up and brought in THEIR OWN instruments and hooked them
up THEMSELVES.
I believe I mentioned that my comments weren't accurate if that happened.
Also, as
mentioned several times so far, those same scientists looked for all
possible ways to bring in other
power sources, and the reactor was even ELEVATED off the surface of
the table so one could see ALL
connections to the reactor. Maybe that's what you call a 'staged'
demo, but I think that's clearly
an exaggeration.
To the extent this was true, then my comments were off. There remains
the possibility of internal "tricks." How about this: why is the
device insulated? Could it be that it already contains some very hot
material? .... Geez, that seems like it would be simple!
There is no end to possible frauds, which is why, with something of
this magnitude, most scientists won't be satisifed until there are
independent replications -- and, by the way, 1 MW reactors for sale
certainly allows a kind of independent replication....
No, all experimental details were NOT concealed... There were a few,
yes, but only those that were
of a proprietary nature, and then, according to Rossi, only until
patents are granted.
Patents won't be granted, my prediction. Inadequate disclosure. And
that, then, gives Rossi the excuse to put off making the 1 MW
reactors available....
I'd love to be wrong. Cheap energy would be wonderful.
