First, the part about "forget Rossi": I think Rossi has been an
enormous time/talent sink with no benefit to the LENR field.
Arguably, he's set the field back quite a lot.
That is preposterous. He has made more progress toward practical,
commercial technology that all of the other researchers combined.
At present, there is nothing else to talk about in cold fusion, and no
other approach worth pursuing. it would be a waste of time to continue
working on bulk palladium and other approaches. Perhaps we should return
to them in the future to learn more about the physics of cold fusion,
but there is no question that the only practical way to make technology
is with nickel nanoparticle powder.
Rossi is an annoying person who can be difficult to work with, but he
has undeniably made a tremendous contribution to this field. The fact
that he is annoying has no bearing at all on his contribution.
Look back at the posts here at Vortex and consider how much time and
effort has been spent by a bunch of smart people in trying to figure
out what Rossi has or doesn't have. Wet steam, dry steam. What
about that thermocouple/pump/contract with U of B/whatever?
This is all skeptical bullshit. None of these issues are real. The steam
could be completely wet and the results would be irrefutable. In any
case, as far as I know, all real experts in the real world say it is dry.
I believe it's been wasted effort. Rossi provides very little
information that can be independently confirmed.
All of his claims had been independently confirmed. Everything he has
done has already been done by others, albeit at lower power levels with
less spectacular success.
I don't know what Rossi has. Given the dearth of confirmable
information he's provided, I *can't* know what he has.
Yes, you can. If you understand basic physics and thermodynamics you can
be certain that his results are real. I do not know a professional
single scientist who doubts this.
All of the doubts are from the peanut gallery on the Internet,
especially people such as Mary Yugo. She says she knows nothing about
cold fusion, so obviously she cannot judge. Asking her to evaluate this
would be like asking me to review a performance of the Metropolitan
Opera. I do not know the first thing about music and I have never
listened to the Metropolitan Opera. So I am not qualified to critique
them. I doubt anyone would argue with that. I cannot imagine why anyone
takes Yugo or Park seriously, when they brag they have not even bothered
to read the fundamentals, and they make many silly factual mistakes.
