Rossi now says the minimum power of his device is 2.5 kW. If that is true, it would be a good idea to study other materials such as Pd-D. I believe they can be made much smaller than this, probably down to the milliwatt level. (As things stand, researchers have difficulty making them work

The power of an Rossi devices is proportional to the quantity of active NI (NAE) if 50 grams give X, 5 grams will give approximately X/10 watts. See e.g. Steve Krivit's writing about Piantelli- small generators. From practical reasons, Rossi does not manufacture generators smaller than 2.5 kW but

I am an engineer have 40 years practice in chemical industry and I was professor of Management of Technology for 3 years in a school of Ecomanagement for directors, managers. Therefore I am not ready to believe such an statement - why exactly 2.5 Kw and not 1.8 or 3.2? I am sure Rossi can

I suggested that there may be niche applications for Pd-D or other forms of cold fusion, and we also may learn more about the reaction from it. I suppose we should concentrate mainly on nickel cold fusion for the next few years. But eventually we should revisit these other variations. Why? Here's

Dear Cousin Jed, A fine exercise in the high art of metaphor. The problem is that fire burns always if the sticks are of the proper size and essence of wood are dry and you rub them according to best practice. For the time given Pd-D is not exactly so reproducible. Seriously speaking if I had
