An idea that occurred to me, perhaps related to this, is that (a) Rossi has
been approached by new investors but is currently bound by agreements with
IH, and (b) IH are stalling on making good on their side of the deal,
because they don't think the testing has been rigorous.  How this scenario
plays out is that Rossi sees himself as in a position of strength, so as
soon as IH failed to pay, he terminated the agreement and launched the suit
in order to recover damages, so that he could proceed unhindered with the
new venture.

Re: [Vo]:I.H. press release responding to Rossi

[Craig Haynie]

Reading the license agreement, it looks to me like IH doesn't get the 
option to bail if they don't agree with the result of the 350 day test. 
As I read it, it looks like their only say in completing this deal, 
occurred when they agreed with Rossi who would do the independent 
evaluation. Once that party was chosen, then it looks like they have to 
pay up if the report is positive, and meets the required specifications. 
There doesn't appear to be an option to decline, at this point.

Re: [Vo]:Industrial Heat Patent?

[Jack Cole]

This is another silly argument used by Rossi to cast himself as the
victim.  That patent was filed for on 2/20/15.  It took IH awhile to a)
figure out that the previous results were questionable, and b) attempt to
replicate with better methodology.  It also took time for the results of
other replicators to come in (with the results of expert scientists being
consistent with hobbyist replicators).  Of course we have a few tantalizing
results here and there that suggest either the results are in error or that
the effect is unpredictable and unreliable.

I would almost bet that Rossi pulled the "charges" from the plant when IH
said the test was over.  The end result is that no qualified scientists can
examine a "working" E-cat plant.  That way he can say something like, "It
was working and I was just getting ready to put in new charges, but here
comes the evil IH to shut down the test.  It was working well (just less
efficiently) before that!  Look, I worked 16 hours a day for the last month
compiling 12 volumes of how evil they are and I'm putting together a
blockbuster chronicle of how this company used me.  In the meantime, I'm
continuing with my heat, electricity, and propellant thrust making super
E-cat quarkX to be produced with a fully robotized plant in millions of
pieces per year, F8!"  Can people not see how ridiculous this has become?

Meanwhile, companies like Brillouin and Lenuco continue working in relative
silence to produce technology that may (we hope) actually work.  Hopefully,
IH will stay the course and continue investing in reputable companies as
they seem to be doing.

Vortex is a bleak lesson in internet trolling. The primary tool of internet 
trolls is simply lying. Anyone who has been following this list will readily 
see who is lying and thus a troll. One question is whether the obvious lying 
trolls are on the payroll of some nefarious outfit is of course important but 
unlikely to be answered. Trolls of course know they are trolls and they revel 
in their entrapment of honest and earnest people, that is their sociopath 
reward... nothing new in human sociology, just pitiful bully boys once more. 
Perhaps Vortex needs an ERV who will verify that people participating here are 
who they claim to be and are held identifiable and accountable for their 
statements, truth and libelous slander. At least that might smoke out the more 
deplorable lurking liars...

[Vo]:Re: I.H. press release responding to Rossi

[Bob Cook]

It could be that Rossi has received some US Government order associated with 
the new patents he has been working on or one or more of the patents listed in 
Exhibit B of the Agreement between IH, Rossi and others, making them secret.  
That is the reason the complaint was filed in the Federal Court in Miami 
instead of the local Miami Civil Circuit Court, which was the specified 
location in the original agreement for resolution of disagreements between IH 
and Rossi and others who are parties to the Agreement.  The local Civil Court 
could not handle such secrecy.  

Rossi was probably advised that the local Miami court would not handle the 
Civil suit or got the Courts advice to this effect.   

IH does not want to pay because the good IP is now secret under US law, and the 
provisions of section 13.4 providing for sharing IP stemming from the listed IP 
in Exhibit B of the Agreement are moot. 

I think the Agreement does provide for sharing new technology developed by the 
“IH  Team” which Rossi was part of—see Section 13.4 noted above.   Note that 
the Exhibit list includes a patent for conversion of photons into electricity.  
However, it is not clear whether or not this patent is valid for conversion of 
charged particles into a EMF or other source of electricity.  It may be this 
invention that is at the center of any secrecy order.  In my mind such a 
invention would have a lot of military significance and would probably become 
the target of a US secrecy order.  

Secrecy Orders can throw  monkey wrenches into the best laid plans of inventors 
and venture capitalists IMHO.  IH may be in hot water with their backers.  I do 
not know what they can do to back away from facts they have provided such 
backers when faced with a secrecy order.  That concern may have been the reason 
for the Dutch entity IH formed to transfer pertinent IP to it, which may be 
outside the scope of a potential future order.  It may have been that when the 
Dutch company was formed there was no secrecy established yet under the US 
invention secrecy act, which was written about 1951---and old liability for 
inventors associated with new  strategic inventions—especially those of 
military significance and energy production. 

All the above thoughts are merely my conjectures, and I have no knowledge of 
their reality or budding reality.

Subject: Re: [Vo]:I.H. press release responding to Rossi

It seems to me that the whole clash between IH and Rossi is not about patents 
or test results but about progress that Rossi has been making (and probably 
still is making) which is not clearly included in the agreements. The original 
agreement was made when Rossi was concentrating on the so-called 'hotcat' 
technology. In case the hotcat concept would work within the boundaries of the 
agreement IH would pay Rossi the remaining millions. This included the trade 
secrets to prepare the hotcat 'fuel' which is not described sufficiently in the 
patent applications. All this includes a working concept based on hotcat 
technology able to work with COP => 6.

Meanwhile Rossi has made significant progress in understanding how his hotcat 
process works and can be improved. He calls this the x-cat technology, the next 
generation e-cat technology. These insights and progression makes hotcat 
methods probably obsolete because of x-cat superiority. In my view the whole 
fight that emerged between IH and Rossi is not whether conditions have been 
met, but whether knowledge of the x-cat should be included or not. 

Rossi points out that the 'old' conditions in the agreement are still met 
(implemented with hotcat methods) and that IH therefore should fulfil the 
agreed payment. For IH this hotcat knowledge transfer is not profitable anymore 
now Rossi has his x-cat technology in his pocket.

RE: [Vo]:Selective memories IH selected and agreed to the team to test the E-Cat

[Jones Beene]

From: Blaze Spinnaker 

Wow a lot of sound and fury.  Let's all wait for the ERV report or court 
filings from Darden & Co.

Blaze, there will not likely be an ERV report, due to the Lawsuit. First, let 
me say to Walker that there are no selective memories here– only selective 
extracts of Rossi’s unsubstantiated claim, being presented as fact. 

Yes - IH accepted the 2012 Test on face value, before they had their own 
experts assembled - paid a large sum up front to become a player, and hired 
Rossi’s old friends and countrymen to continue the work in Miami. That much is 
not in dispute. It is admirable that they took such a risk since that 2012 
device probably never worked.

The following comments are copyrighted and not for any use outside this forum. 
They are offered as a counterpoint to the blindly supportive comments of 
Rossi’s fan club. There are two sides to most Lawsuits, and IH’s side needs to 
be presented more fairly. They are the good guys here, but that is by default 
as Rossi is a life-long con artist who will be exposed if this goes to trial.

First, there is no proof that IH agreed to any ERV… or that the testing would 
remain exclusively under Rossi’s control. In fact IH seems to have implied that 
they hired experts from Carolina and Rossi would not let them in the facility! 
It is my belief that IH cannot be sure that the blue box device ever ran at 
all, much less produced excess energy. We will have to wait for IH’s legal 
filings to see how deep Rossi’s con-game goes.

The bottom line is that the so-called “customer” was actually the President of 
Leonardo, a plaintiff. And, not only did IH never see any excess heat from any 
device of Rossi – they cannot be sure that it ever ran at all. To the cynic, 
these dynamics could end up looking more like some kind of civil extortion 
attempt than a breach of contract. In fact, all of the pictures from JM show a 
pristine box that simply cannot have been an active boiler – it is too clean. 
Have you ever seen a working boiler? 

Plus, there was no way to use steam in that facility, even if the boiler made 
steam. The steam, if there ever was any, had to be ported to an outside drain 
and was never used for anything of a commercial nature - which implies that the 
“customer” and his so-called business usage of steam is a complete sham.

The so-called ERV report cannot be released for this very reason. First of all, 
it would be an admission that Penon and Fabiani – who are not licensed in the 
USA to do this kind of work, ran an illegal steam boiler in Miami for a year. 
Steam boilers are highly regulated. The civil fine could be several thousand 
dollars per day. The two of them would be immediately deported and probably 
lose their engineering license in Italy, if complaints were filed there. 

IH now has leverage over Johnson, the President of IH, who could lose his legal 
license over permitting an illegal boiler to be run without a permit - if not 
being accused of being a party to a civil extortion attempt, that is: if there 
is proof of that, or if the DA should be able to get an indictment. That’s 
right, this is shaping up to look like more than a contract dispute. 

Look for attorney Johnson to bail very soon, since this is very serious 
business for him, as the President of Leonardo, also a plaintiff and the 
“customer,” and housing the testing space – and therefore a full party to any 
fraud, and there is always a hint of fraud in such conflicting roles. He should 
bail immediately. If the Miami DA thinks Johnson has abetted another of Rossi’s 
scams, then both he and AR are in deep - for more than they bargained for. (I 
am not alleging that either did anything criminal – the DA will decide that).

This explains another reason for the very existence of the Lawsuit. Rossi has 
all this faked data – supposedly 18 volumes and he cannot release it because it 
will screw his friends Penon , Fabiani and Johnson, the President of Leonardo – 
who now, if the DA smells civil extortion, can charge them under RICO. The 
stakes are much higher than you may have imagined because there is so much 
money involved - $100,000,000 plus damages. That is quite a swindle.

Please note, I am not accusing anyone of a crime or even a civil tort, since 
the evidence does not support that yet, and we have not even seen IH’s answer 
to the complaint. The drama is intense, and IH may be partly to blame for not 
being proactice. But a number of recent cases like Fuhrman v. California 
Satellite Systems (1986) have held that a civil action for extortion does in 
fact exist in similar commercial circumstances, but … like most torts this 
requires a showing of damages. 

Rossi definitely has damaged several reputations here – there is no doubt about 
that. Rossi continues to this day to bad mouth IH, Darden, Vaughn etc. They 
came into this with good reputations, Rossi did not. The plaintiffs and their 
Lawyer, made a huge mistake in starting this episode

[Vo]:IH selected Fabio Penon to lead the team they chosed for the test of the E-Cat

[Ian Walker]

Hi all

The key fact remains

Fabio Penon was the primary engineer that IH helped select and approve for
the E-Cat Test. IH felt so secure in the capabilities of the team they
selected that agreed with their assessments to the tune of $10 million.

Rossi has continued to use the Nuclear Engineer, Product Certification
Specialist that IH were satisfied with, at any time in the last few years
IH could have chosen another engineer, they did not; therefore they were
happy with him to do the job.

HIGH TEMPERATURE E-CAT MODULE Test of July 16th, 2012 for E-Cat
Certification
Was with a three man test team of:
:Fabio Penon , M.Eng. (Nuclear Engineer, Product Certification Specialist)
E-Cat Electronic Control System Specialist
:Fulvio Fabiani, M.Eng.
Radiation Protection Report:
David Bianchini, M.Sc (Physicist, Radiation Measurements Specialist).

No. That is not a fact. Part of it comes from Rossi’s allegation in the 
complaint and the rest from your imagination

I find this to be an odd thing to believe. The license agreement 
requires that both Rossi and IH agree to an ERV, and that the ERV will 
evaluate the device according to  criteria which are laid out. If IH 
never agreed to the ERV, then why wait an entire year to mention it -- 
and where did they mention this? Everything I've read indicates that 
they agreed to the test, agreed to the ERV, and decided afterwards, by 
some other means, that it couldn't be shown to work.

Rossi alleges they agreed, but for all we know IH can fully document that
they hired their own ERV and Rossi would not let him into the test facility.
You cannot use an allegation in Rossi’s complaint as fact. Wait till you see
IH’s answer.

[Jones Beene]

Why do you punish yourself like this, Adrian? Rossi lied and called Penon a PhD 
and you and the other sheep then started calling him Dr. Penon ... LOL. He is a 
glorified mechanic.

You seem to be a smart enough individual to make inferences based on other 
fields than the one you are trained in, but there are realities here that you 
absolutely refuse to consider. You can't really be that hard-headed, can you? 
All of the crime statistic show that the recidivism rate for white collar 
property crimes is extraordinarily high - above 75%. For a 4 time loser like 
Rossi, it is almost a certainty that he has not reformed. This is the thing he 
does best - the financial scam.

He is the master of the energy version of this scam. But the difference here is 
that he is also a decent inventor and this makes him believe he can pull off 
the perfect scam, sooner or later. Yet - here again we have similar 
circumstances and you are blind to the fact that he has resorted to the thing 
he does best. There is a slight twist since he has found a niche where there is 
a proved anomaly that no one understands yet. That is why he is being called a 
"value added scammer" but make no mistake, he is a professional energy swindler 
of the highest order.

AA.  It looks like you lack good industrial experience if you have never seen a 
clean boiler.  Not to mention the LENR does not involve combustion.  It does 
make me wonder - what experience have you ever had?

Jones.  "Please note, I am not accusing anyone of a crime or even a civil tort, 
since the evidence does not support that yet"

AA.  But you have repeatedly done just that.  You say Rossi is a swindler and a 
fraud.  Also licensed engineer Fabio Penon was "no more 
than a glorified mechanic."   Later saying you didn't does not negate that.

Just why you would want to copyright your piece of fiction is a mystery.

Yes, indeed. Some of the characters are larger than life. This turn of events 
is as interesting as a courtroom drama.

I'm still trying to understand Rossi's calculus. IH can hire the best law firms 
in the world to defend them, and can, if they wish, allow the case to take as 
long as is needed.  Rossi has hired someone who has only four years of 
practice.  I do not see how Rossi could calculate that he will come out ahead 
if all of this is simply extortion following upon fraud. I get that he appears 
to allow emotion to dictate some decisions, but this scenario is difficult to 
fathom.

[Vo]:Selective memories IH selected and agreed to the team to test the E-Cat

[Ian Walker]

Hi all

Some people seem to suffer from a selective memory glitch.

HIGH TEMPERATURE E-CAT MODULE Test of July 16th, 2012 for E-Cat
Certification
Was with a three man test team of:
:Fabio Penon , M.Eng. (Nuclear Engineer, Product Certification Specialist)
E-Cat Electronic Control System Specialist
:Fulvio Fabiani, M.Eng.
Radiation Protection Report:
David Bianchini, M.Sc (Physicist, Radiation Measurements Specialist).

The test was at the behest of IH and paid for by them to their
specification, using people they selected and agreed too to the tune of $10
million.

Rossi merely continued to use the Nuclear Engineer, Product Certification
Specialist that IH were satisfied with, at any time in the last few years
IH could have chosen another engineer, they did not; therefore they were
happy with him to do the job.

Re: [Vo]:I.H. press release responding to Rossi

[Teslaalset]

It seems to me that the whole clash between IH and Rossi is not about
patents or test results but about progress that Rossi has been making (and
probably still is making) which is not clearly included in the agreements.
The original agreement was made when Rossi was concentrating on the
so-called 'hotcat' technology. In case the hotcat concept would work within
the boundaries of the agreement IH would pay Rossi the remaining millions.
This included the trade secrets to prepare the hotcat 'fuel' which is not
described sufficiently in the patent applications. All this includes a
working concept based on hotcat technology able to work with COP => 6.

Meanwhile Rossi has made significant progress in understanding how his
hotcat process works and can be improved. He calls this the x-cat
technology, the next generation e-cat technology. These insights and
progression makes hotcat methods probably obsolete because of x-cat
superiority. In my view the whole fight that emerged between IH and Rossi
is not whether conditions have been met, but whether knowledge of the x-cat
should be included or not.

Rossi points out that the 'old' conditions in the agreement are still met
(implemented with hotcat methods) and that IH therefore should fulfil the
agreed payment. For IH this hotcat knowledge transfer is not profitable
anymore now Rossi has his x-cat technology in his pocket.

[Vo]:Industrial Heat Patent?

[Craig Haynie]

If Industrial Heat says that the reactor doesn't work, then why did they 
apply for a patent with Rossi's technology?


https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2015127263=1==PCT+Biblio

https://www.google.com/patents/WO2015127263A3?cl=en

Rossi is now saying that they have just applied for another one:

"Today I have been informed that IH has again made another patent using 
my name as the inventor and my invention, to make a patent assigned to 
Industrial Heat, without my authorization."


If they are patenting Rossi's intellectual property, which he sold to 
them in this deal which IH did not finalize, then this would explain why 
Rossi is suing, instead of just letting it go.

[Vo]:Fabio Penon

[a.ashfield]

Does anyone have a direct reference for Fabio Penon's qualifications?   
I see him listed in several European sources as: Dr. Ing. Fabio Penon, 
Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering (with 110/110 summa cum laude at the Alma 
Mater of Bologna-Italy ).


Jones Beene has stated he doesn't have a PhD and is just a glorified 
mechanic.

Re: [Vo]:Fabio Penon

[Sean True]

If by Professional Engineer, you mean "recognized by a licensing board in
the US", I'll accept the notion, while not considering it in any way
significant. Using "glorified mechanic" does seem like code for something
else, however.

It's well known that only the US has professional engineers, and that a
proper education is only available from US education institution. :-)

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

[Brad Lowe]

Wait for another inconclusive report written by a dunce or a paid
stooge? Rossi has wasted many man-years of our collective time. I am
done waiting.

And don't call me a pseudo-skeptic. We all would have been happy with
any report where a gas generator ran the E-cat which heated a body of
water. With a 1MW output, he could run that in a day to prove his
claim and win back his millions. Rossi doesn't have anything of
commercial value. Time to admit Rossi's grandfatherly demeanor and
confident lies fooled me and many others.

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

[Lennart Thornros]

Jones, both you and Ahern take on the issue with Ecat by accusing Rossi of
being a person with lower moral than for example you.
That is an judgmental attitude that takes you nowhere and in addition has
nothing to do with LENR.
I have not any qualifications to judge about ECAT. (BTW English is my
second or third languish so we do not have to debate that).
I do have experience of investment in high tech start ups ( VC industry ),
I have even more experience as an entrepreneur.
In my opinion Rossi is a true entrepreneur. I appreciate that quality. It
would amaze me if Rossi has been able to lie to IH and make them pay $11M.
That would indicate flaws in IH ways of invest.
I can imagine that there is problem with replication of performance of the
Ecat.
It can be a reluctance from Rossi to provide the info required by agreement
due to IH are involved with other LENR business without handling the
communication between those entities over the board.
Then there is the possibility of totally unknown reasons for the conflict.
Disturbing to me is that IH, which I consider being a professional
investor, let this be played out in court.
Yes, one can have different opinions until we have all the fact and they
will be here rather soon I understand.
Rossi might have his flaws but to call him unethical with no proof is worse
and tells more about the one "who throws the first rock . . ."

Re: [Vo]:Fabio Penon

[Eric Walker]

I recall hearing that everyone with a master's degree in Italy is called
"Doctor," and Wikipedia indicates that this is the case [1]. That implies
that Penon need not have a PhD to be called "dottore."  That also makes
sense of why people call Rossi "Dr. Rossi," although I think the rules of
the language being used (English) should take precedence here.

As Penon's CV shows, he has a "Laurea" (Master's degree) in nuclear
engineering.

RE: [Vo]:Industrial Heat Patent?

Published on E-catworld is a copy of a provisional patent 
(http://www.e-catworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/R_123621412_3.pdf) that 
Rossi says is part of the trouble with IH, the patent was filed by a patent 
filer, Nifong, located very near IH... This clearly substantiates what Rossi is 
saying. How could IH claim that Rossi's E-Cat inventions don't work and thus 
they don't pay their contracted payment while they are filing patent claims 
covering the very same technology. Of course the Rossi haters, actually simply 
haters, are gonna hate regardless of any facts. They will just keep posting

>>>And if I were 'there', I'd too be calling for different testing.

You'd be calling for a lot more than that if you discovered that someone 
was cheating you!


But asking for new testing is not part of the agreement which was signed.

There  are several reasons why IH would want to default on the contract. 
Maybe they didn't raise as much money as they had hoped. Maybe they did 
find some reason to believe that they were being cheated. Maybe they've 
come to distrust the ERV. But without the lawsuit, would they have 
returned Rossi's intellectual property? Would they have signed the 
patent back over to him?


If Rossi is a cheat, they should counter-sue and try to file criminal 
charges. Otherwise, they should try to undo the damage they've done, by 
taking Rossi's IP, and learning the skills to use this technique, which 
they took from Rossi; and pay something for going through this one-year 
test, which took time and effort.

Re: [Vo]:Fabio Penon

[Giovanni Santostasi]

It used to be that you needed just a 4 years degree (that involved a final
thesis) called a Laurea to become a dottore in Italy. It is not really the
equivalent of Master but something a bit more but not quite a PhD.
Eventually a Dottorato di Ricerca was introduced and that is the Italian
equivalent of an anglosaxon PhD.

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

[Brad Lowe]

Goat-guy made a great comment on next big future where he makes a very
good guess as to how Rossi is faking the results of the tests.
http://nextbigfuture.com/2016/04/rossi-1-megawatt-energy-catalyzer-is.html
He also states the obvious--why Rossi doesn't heat a pool of water to
demonstrate heat output..

Copying his response in full:

Hah! I got it… finally! (I see how the 'trick' is very likely being
performed, and why IH decided on a different testing procedure from
the 'contract approved' one.)

Its cute, subtle, and would result in an entirely misleading result.
FIRST, you need to open the (
http://www.e-catworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/R_123621412_3.pdf
) pdf file.

Look at Figure 1. In the center of the “reactor shelter”, is a box
labeled “water reservoir”, which has 2 inlets and 2 outlets.

Inlet 1, top = tap water from municipal line
Inlet 2, bot = return from steam condensers
Outlet 1, top = water to first half of E-cats and then to water tank 1
Outlet 2, bot = water to second half of E-cats and then to water tank 2

All that would be needed would be for the steam-condensor loop to have
a BUNCH of air in the line for this to be a really misleading COP > 1
system. Sensors that measure gas flow cannot discriminate 100% steam
from 50:50 steam from 0% hot air. Likewise, with a bit of flim-flam,
most of the heat emitted could be combined back into the circulating
loop (of which there are 2: (water tank 1) → (input to ECat₁) →
(combine with reservoir tank water) → (back into ECat₁) → (back to
water tank 1) … repeated for the bottom half.

In this system most of the input power can heat the effluent stream,
if needed. The amount of 'real steam' in the big old
misdirection-device (the "condensers", which are huge,
non-quantitative, impressive and so on), which thru air-in-the-lines
becomes 'the ruse' looks great. Metrology is done. It all seems great
because no one is alert to the intent-to-deviate from the patent
diagram.

The receiving tanks get both new tap water and a bunch of recirculated
water, reheated. The bogosity of the experiment isn't easily revealed.
No attempt is made to mass-heat a bunch of water (like a small
swimming pool's worth) a finite amount. The whole thing runs at
whatever rate it runs (which is carefully excluded from the PDF). The
only measure left is the misdirected one.

It is ingenious.
And if I were 'there', I'd too be calling for different testing.
Namely… substituting a liquid-liquid heat exchanger for the great big
air blower.

To heat the small swimming pool.
Which REALLY becomes quantitative, fast.
To at least 2 sig-figs.
More than enough to expose the rat.
Or to confirm the golden goose.

Which (by my surmise) confirms why Rossi's so up tight about the testing.
Which he shouldn't be if it is aiming toward MASS calorimetry.
Which of course he's never done.
Nor will he.

Because it exposes rats.

Aha. This scheme is similar to the trickery Rossi was first using in his early 
"wet steam" scam. Apparently AR thought that by super-sizing it, he could hide 
the trick better. Thanks to Goat-guy for nailing him on this. 

Steve Krivit covered that earlier episode pretty well, and since this was 
before Steve went into full attack mode, the article below is factual detailed 
and valuable in that we can see how, and possibly where, Goat-guy discovered 
how the trick was improved on.

Re: [Vo]:Industrial Heat Patent?

[Sean True]

Justin Robert Nifong has one patent issued as an inventor, for a device for
reducing the problem of smelly drains in commercial kitchens:

His Linked In profile says: "Mr. Nifong is a registered patent attorney and
is admitted to practice law in North Carolina. Mr. Nifong’s practice is
focused on patent preparation and prosecution, patent litigation, patent
legal opinions, and various other Intellectual Property matters. Mr.
Nifong works
in technologies that include mechanical, medical, optical, textile,
chemical, computer, and the electrical arts.

Mr. Nifong is admitted in North Carolina, the Eastern and Western Districts
of the Federal Court of North Carolina, the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, and the Supreme Court of the United States of America."

He has a BS in Mechanical Engineering, an MS in Electrical Engineering, and
a JD from Wake Forest. Typical profile for a patent attorney.

He appears to be one of two founders of NK Patent Law, a small IP law firm
with multiple specialties, including Nuclear Patents:

Re: [Vo]:Fabio Penon

So, if your credentials are not from the US then you can be called any
demeaning name?
Well, maybe I need to talk to people with a wider approach to life.
I have met many and employed a few people with very good education and
other credentia , which turned out to be without any indication of their
ability to do the job - and I have seen the opposite. (People with no
formal education being very capable.)
There is debate going on about how difficult it is to implement caliometric
technology. I can guarantee that evaluate other people is by far more
difficult and more full of pitfalls than any caliometric technology. Most
people have unique qualities. Unfortunately some does not know or
understand their capacity and others have a blown up self centered believe
that they are capable in all trades. I think both situations are pitiful.

Rossi uses these Venture Capitalists as a resource to extract R funds
that he needs to advance his product development. Rossi will supply the
minimum amount of IP to the VC to get the money that he heeds to move
forward. Rossi knows how this game is played. Now Rossi has found a new
source of funds that will come from a less demanding financial partner in
terms of IP transfer. IH is now being discarded,

For their investment in Rossi, IH has gotten valuable insights into LENR
just as Deflakion had for their money.

Rossi will minimize the information that he revails to get the money that
he needs to move forward, If there is no money in revealing the ERV test,
that test will not be released. The court case may require a release of the
ERV,

Rossi forced IH into what they are doing. He can take the negative reaction
and doubt that the breakup with IH will produce because he is ready to move

I.H. said his device does not work, therefore the intellectual property is
worthless. Plus they have not paid him the $89 million. So I.H. no reason
to keep it, and no standing to keep it (since they have not paid). Even if
they said they want it, I expect any judge would rule they have to give it

I beg to differ, when it comes to your ability to judge people.
Your examples - Donald Trump and you?

I do not know Rossi at all. I am sure he threads carefully about publishing
material just now.
How you know that he will not publish is a mystery to me. I think he will
or then he will lose credibility in this case.

If it is hard to negotiate with or not depends on who negotiates. In other
words you could have said that you are not able to negotiate anything with
Rossi.

Sorry Jed - you are now talking in some kind of out of mind state. I have

They do not want to pay him. They say the machine does not work, and
therefore they will not pay. They are discarding him. He wants them to pay

It is unfair to characterize Jack in this way.  He devoted a great deal 
of effort attempting to prove LENR was viable and it appeared to me that 
he was seeing some interesting results in early experiments.  Perhaps he 
has changed his beliefs as of this time due to taking a second look at 
his procedures.


I can understand how demoralized he must feel after all of that effort 
but I feel confident that his opinions will change to a more positive 
stance if the ERV report has substance.  Give him some slack.


My work regarding positive thermal feedback modeling tends to support 
many of the statements originating from Rossi.  Until I see evidence 
that energy is not generated by subjecting the magic formula fuel to 
high temperatures I will hold my positive views. The earlier experiments 
that has suggested that LENR was present also fit into my model parameters.


So lets all hold off on the personal attacks since they are not 
productive.  Besides, it is against the rules of vortex to engage in 
such behavior!

I doubt anyone who writes about this story knows the players better than 
Mats Lewan.   I judge him technically competent.   He is cautious but 
has been persuaded that the the E-Cat works.  I recall that having 
doubts about the experimental set up he said the fact the the E-Cat went 
on boiling, something he felt by putting hand on it, for more than an 
hour after the power was turned off, was what persuaded him more than 
the instrument readings.


I get the feeling Rossi simply doesn't care about making a foolproof 
demo.  It would be fairly easy to do if the wanted to.  It seems he just 
shows something good enough to persuade the investors, otherwise there 
is no advantage to him and it would just encourage competition.  He 
seems to be betting all in now and either will be making and selling 
operating units in the next few months or the E-Cat doesn't work.  For 
him to carry on if it doesn't work makes no sense at all.  He could have 
walked away with enough money for life several years ago if he had 
wanted to.

He says he has not read the Penon report yet, so he cannot judge. The
people at I.H. have read it. At this point, we can only compare Rossi's
evaluation with I.H.'s. In my informed opinion, they are better at
calorimetry, so it is likely they are right.

Unrelated to the point about automation, the strange looking boat reminded
me of a recent trip I took into Oklahoma, right next to me.  I was driving
there a week or so ago and drove past a US military convoy on their way to
somewhere, probably an army base.  The trucks (as we call them) looked a
bit like this:

http://allnewspipeline.com/images/277.png

It occurred to me that these vehicles are probably bespoke, and require
specialized knowledge to fix and maintain and require specialized parts.  I
wonder how much money military contractors spend on setting up a parallel
line of vehicles that are not mass produced at the same levels as those
available to consumers, and how much this duplication of effort costs.
This would apply not only to vehicles for transport such as this, but to
smaller things like drones.  It seems to me that contractors should be
instructed to make as much use of commercially available products as
possible to get the job done within strategic limits (i.e., not becoming
dependent upon goods produced in a potentially hostile country).

Re: [Vo]:Fabio Penon

[Ian Walker]

Hi all

Fabio Penon was the primary engineer that IH helped select, on which to base
their Due Diligence, for purchase of the E-Cat license and IP access, they
were so happy with his work, and that of the team they selected and that they
agreed for him to run; that they spent $10 million dollars as a result.

There is no wiggle room with facts they are when all is said and done facts.

And it is fact that IH were happy enough with Fabio Penon's
qualifications, experience and abilities spend $10 million dollars on
using him as their source of adequate Due Diligence for buying the
E-Cat License and seeing the E-Cat IP.

IH could at any time in the past few years have asked for him to
replaced, but the fact remains they did not do so, ipso facto by IH's
own inaction he was IH's choice for the ERV and they were fully
satisfied with him.

But not without reason. Those of us who are familiar with the people and
the work of I.H. find them more credible than Rossi. When Rossi says the
test was positive, but I.H. says it was not, then sight unseen I will
assume I.H. is right.

I would say the same if McKubre had examined the results and it was his

RE: [Vo]:Fabio Penon

[Russ George]

The idea that a person is qualified because their parent paid for their Phd is 
preposterous. The title 'doctor' or 'doctore' used to only be conveyed upon a 
person by their peers after decades of work in the field. Then universities saw 
the opportunity to go whoring and sell titles to the children of parents with 
money. Later the student loan industry turned this into an even more 
disgraceful system in the money grubbing USA. To see some trying to suggest 
that a 'degree' given by a whoring institution is worth more than the trust of 
peers is the sort of idiocy one expects these days, not unusual in this time of 
the likes of the US republican party and its dedication to the stupid and 
avaricious. 

Turning a discussion on Rossi's work into a perverse discussion about Penon's 
degree is such text book troll behavior as to take Vortex into utter absurdity. 
Those casting aspersions on Penon should post their own credentials, if they do 
not and are critical of Penon then they define themselves as the worst of 
trolls. It's too bad Vortex doesn't have a feature like Facebook where one 
simply block those who prove themselves to be trolls or worse.

It goes like this. Acquire as many patents and ideas as possible, mix,
match, and blend them together, put them in an innovation blender, and
produce a hybrid technology that is better than the sum of all your patent
acquisitions from your stable of inventors.

Rossi being from the old country may not like this new way of doing
business in America, but the companies in the U.S. have paid the
politicians handsomely for these changes in the IP handling laws and now
they want to use the laws to their full potential.

When you make your living as a snake charmer, you must recognize that there
is a possibility of being struck.
