While following the Aussie Guy thread at 
http://peakoil.com/forums/the-cold-fusion-thread-pt-4-merged-t63982-195.html#p109 
I found an update on the Dick Smith story:



Last week, Mr Smith sent aerospace engineer Ian Bryce to attend a 
public meeting held by Mr Millin at Mullumbimby.


Mr Bryce said the claimed technology was not supported with any confidence.

He said both he and Mr Smith had sought to examine the alleged 
technology because at least six scientists had observed or studied 
its results and had been encouraged.


However, further inspection had revealed major problems with that 
data, Mr Bryce said



- - - - -
SO: Bryce wasn't sent to Italy, but to the Mullumbimby meeting.

Mystery blue box sank 'cold fusion' for Dick Smith

.

Mr Bryce said one of the most indicative signals that the technology 
was unlikely to perform as claimed was the presence of a large, 
unexplained blue box sitting adjacent to the invention, which was 
clearly a substantial power supply.


He said Mr Rossi's results from the experiment -- three pages of 
data scrawled with handwritten corrections -- and the very shoddy 
set up of the device all suggested it didn't work.


Another concern was waste-water being poured down the drain -- if a 
nuclear reaction was occurring that water would be highly 
radioactive, Mr Bryce said.


[ Gee ... Bryce didn't look very far, it seems.  Ah well. ]

It's pretty clear that Mr. Bryce didn't do his homework... at all!  Woefully
ignorant of anything about LENR/CF and the E-Cat demos.  That's what he gets
for not reading vortex-l!
:-)

Mr. Smith, I know several highly qualified techies who will be happy to give
you a proper assessment...

The entrepreneur Dick Smith had offered to invest $200,000 if the physics
was proven. He sent along a consulting aerospace engineer and sceptic, Ian
Bryce, to assess the machine.

This is the second time they wrote that and it's confusing.   Did Bryce go
to Italy?  Or just to their town meeting or what?

Mr Millin told The Sun-Herald : ''I thought it was better if Dr Rossi rang us. 
He is a very important man and a very busy man and I didn't want to keep him 
waiting.'' But they had their wires crossed, their timing out of sync. Each was 
expecting the other to call. ''I didn't bother to blame him and he didn't 
bother to blame me,'' Mr Millin said. (Google transalte will have fun with this 
one, since it translates Rossi as Smith. ) - Original Message -
