I think it was all entirely a lie from the start. Additional evidence for that hypothesis is that if it were real, it could have been duplicated by Rossi using the same methods he originally used to make the device, perhaps with additional help and support from DOD which would have been easy to get at the time. The other issue about this mess is why Rossi submitted the non-working samples to start with. Didn't he ever test them? Was he so incompetent or negligent that he didn't know the devices didn't work when they were in fact more than 2 orders of magnitude (100X) off the target? I think the TE devices were deliberate fraud not unlike what the E-cat is likely to end up being and for the same motive: money up front and excuses later. I am surprised, Alain, that you overlook those facts. I think the same reasoning applies in kind to Petroldragon but it's much more complex an affair and I have not studied that. I did spend a bit of time with the TE device story. It's damning in my opinion. Both for DOD which did not do due diligence and of course for Rossi who almost certainly defrauded them. Of course if someone can point me to data from a reputable and credible source showing that those TE device samples did what Rossi said, then the whole thing is a big mystery: why have those methods not been pursued since the 2004 fiasco?
