National Instruments has an automated software package -- "LabVIEW System Identification Toolkit" http://www.ni.com/pdf/labview/us/sys_id_toolkit.pdf -- which (I assume) can converge to an optimal control strategy for an unknown multi-input/multi-state system which may be non-linear, noisy and time-varying much faster than Rossi ever could by guesstimating.
If Rossi is real, then I assume NI either possesses an e-cat, or has access to one or to his 1-MW plant.
