This will make them available to do LENR research. I don't see what your problem is. it is possible that Defkalion is lying but I do not think that likely. We'll find out soon if they are. This is also what the LENR community needs to get scientific acknowledgement > and official support. > If commercial units are sold we will get more scientific acknowledgment and official support then we could possibly accrue by any other method. Rossi is correct about that. Money talks. Nothing is more convincing than commercial success. Defkalion's plans are by far the best way to ensure the success of cold fusion and garner official support. We have had more than 20 years of convincing experiments published in peer-reviewed journals. Yet they have not swayed the scientific establishment, the mass media, the DoE or the public. Researchers could go on publishing definitive experiments for another 100 years and it would not make any difference. After Defkalion cells a few hundred working reactors I guarantee that every industrial corporation and government on planet Earth will be working frantically on cold fusion. Robert Park and the Scientific American will lose all credibility on this issue. They and the other opponents will no longer be able to block progress. > If they have a working and accessible experiment, then they can research > this and when the process is scientifically understood, then they can > develop something better than Rossi. > Rossi will surely develop something better than what he now has. So will thousands of other researchers. Progress will be as swift as it was in the early days of aviation or semiconductors. But before any of this happens we need a triggering event in the best possible triggering event is commercial sales of working reactors. In my opinion, Rossi has wasted some time with his 1 MW reactor project. He has done some sloppy demonstrations and tests. But overall he has worked swiftly to commercialize this technology. He has probably done as good a job as anyone could under the circumstances, and a better job than any other cold fusion researcher. The delays in 2011 -- as frustrating as they are to us -- will not make any difference in the long-term view of history. > I do highly doubt that NASA would want to use Rossis e-cats for space > rockets. > Why wouldn't they? The power and energy density is fantastic. I guarantee that in 20 years there will be no other type of space rocket, or automobile engine or generator . . . or electric pencil sharpener power supply, for that matter.
