[Vo]:Observers at the October 6th demo.

It's not scientific, but I've been digging into the people listed as attending the Ross ECat demo on October 6th. Most of these are familiar names, but a few names pulled from a focus.it posting are less familiar. ? marks identifications I think are correct, but may not be. ?? is more speculative.

Re: [Vo]:Photos of test report and a spreadsheet

The report is signed by a professional engineer, selected by a customer. The test he ran may not meet our expectations, but the input/output curve for water temperature is impressive. It's not clear that a customer would _care_ how it was gotten, as long as it was inexpensive and reliable. You

[Vo]:Pricing for E-cat?

Not that I expect to buy one soon, but I've seen the price/Kw given as $2000. It actually appears to be in Euros, although customers in the US might benefit from the common practice of leaving the number alone, and just changing the currency. I don't think this changes the economics at all for

RE: [Vo]:Physorg comments : new Krivit Crusade

Krivit seems to have an awful lot of time on his hands to follow other peoples coverage of Rossi. Either this translates to traffic for his blog and advertising revenue from it, he is mounting a personal vendetta of impressive proportions, or he has another source of revenue to support him as he

[Vo]:Mr. Rossi appears to be busy for the foreseeable future.

Either his customers are convinced or he is playing a very complex game. There are applications for raw heat in winter that might be worth putting up with leaky gaskets to get. His interactions with the public on his blog are getting shorter, and more like: please go away, I'm very busy. Blog

Re: [Vo]:National Instruments signs to do E-Cat controls

Mary raised the interesting point that NI will sell to anyone (even Iran or Qadaffi, when legal). But NI is less likely to negotiate a contract apparently _requiring_ that the NI name appear on the control panel with just anyone. As a scientist in a former life, I bought NI hardware and software

The design is dated, as is the software used to create it: Microsoft Frontpage 4.0 (circa 2000). The domain appears to be hosted on pair.com, which is a step up from stayhosted ... I suspect that Mr. Rossi is following the advice of friends, and is not providing the best possible venue for his

Something Jed said about customers spurred a thought about customers, investors, and the difference between them. Customers exchange money for something that meets a current need. That can be a need to use a device, a need to gain access to technology early, or even a need to do some good. But in

The physicists behind hydrofusion.com (and ecat.com) are not _just_ physicists. As I noted in an earlier thread, Sandstrom is a VP at DBRS since 2007, a financial rating service in Canada. Think Moody's, but a little smaller. Not a lot smaller, though:

I've spoken to two patent attorneys about this, one who has been involved in patents in this space. They were both clear that it's policy, but have never seen a written policy, and could not find one on a casual search. This smacks of unwritten rules, and that smacks of , well, lawlessness. One

I'm not sure anyone has pointed out the IP advantages to Rossi of selling his initial plants to the US military. Unlike the Chinese army or the Iranian republican guard, the US military is not in the business of reverse engineering, or of lowest cost procurement. For mission critical components,
