I guess those previous successes were pre-petroldragan and those thermo electric generators from Leonardo since I would not consider those wildly successful ventures.
What I would like to believe about Rossi is that through his previous losses he realized they can take it all away but you still have your own inner strength and experience to create something useful for the world. This will make a great story for the history books. What I do not want to believe is that he just took some scientist's publishings and slapped together a contraption and has made grandiose claims. That MW e-cat took alot of time to fabricate and pipe together. I just wish he did not have that 300-500 kW generator parked beside it. There were no water pumps or instrumentation that would have required that much power. Steve Jobs tried to make the personal computer "personal". Many more people bought PCs. I believe he has finally succeeded with the Iphone and Apple's bottom line reflects this. I just dropped mine and broke the glass but it is still working! I tell people it is my screen saver.
