His claim is that his device makes 6X the thermal power at the output that he supplies as Joule heating at the input. But the input current powers a simple resistance heater. So why not take some of the output heat, run it through a simple and reliable control system, and then return the heat to the input end? Then, Rossi could "self sustain" after a brief initial period of electrical heating, for as long as he liked. I've never understood why Rossi did not do that simple maneuver and then run for a week or two under a webcam on a glass table in an open field. A lot more people would now believe him if he had done something like that.
