I know that this post is going to ruffle some feathers, but: He has indeed done stints in jail. He has repeatedly claimed incredible strides in developing rare technology, and has seen things go awry in delivery.
Petroldragon appeared totally revolutionary. The telling of this story varies greatly, and the most detailed accounts come from the accused - Rossi. It is not palatable to go over allegations, but it is undisputed that he ended up in jail, with stockpiled waste. But in his telling, it was a mafia conspiracy. Leonardo Technologies, Inc. demonstrated a Thermo Electric device at 20% efficiency, when the norm was 4%. I am actually curious if this demonstration involved boiling water. (If anyone can find info on the University of New Hampshire testing, this could be incredibly telling). According to the Army pdf below: When it can time to deliver, his facility caught fire. Then he moved production, and the subcontractors failed. Upwards of 75% of his units didn't work at all, and the remaining gave 1 watt instead of 800-1000W. When he was bailed out to the point that true experts were building him new assembly procedures, he finally built working devices that performed right on par with existing technology. http://dodfuelcell.cecer.army.mil/library_items/Thermo(2004).pdf Ni-H technology may indeed be valid. Rossi may have indeed contributed greatly by using nano-nickel. But, when these tests leave questions, tread very, very lightly in proclamations of "faith".
