I make no predictions about the specifics of this report. But I do predict three things:
1. It will be positive, as he claims. What possible benefit would he derive from lying about this? As soon as the report comes out people would see he is lying. 2. It will be published sooner or later. Probably. Who knows when. It is already a month late, but in this business things are often 5 years late. I expect Rossi thought carefully about the timing of this, and he has some reason to let it out now rather than a year ago. Some reason related to intellectual property I guess. 3. It really is a third party evaluation. Rossi often exaggerates about his business and other personal things, but as I have often said, when it comes to technical claims, he tells the truth. Also, he does what he says he will do. He said he would make a 1 MW reactor and by golly he did. He said he had a factory heater. Focardi said on video "I've seen that heater and shown it to others" and by golly he did. If that 1 MW gadget was fake, it was the most expensive and elaborate fake in the history of fake energy devices. (Most fake devices are small, cheap and thrown together. I've seen many of them.) Despite his flamboyant personality and his irritating habits, Rossi is a force to be reckoned with. I think it is foolish to dismiss him, or make fun of him, or assume he is a fraud. I can see why people fall into this trap. As I have said, I think Rossi *wants* people to think he is a fraud. Many inventors have wanted this. I admit I could be wrong about all of this. But history shows you should not bet against irritating, exploitative, monomaniacal geniuses such as Edison or Jobs, and Rossi sure looks to me like one of them. - Jed
