Do you believe Pons & Fleischmann showed excess heat in their original experiment? Despite the "expert" hot fusion physicists from MIT and CalTech claims? Actually, if you are familiar with the history of the field – and the name Gene Mallove of Infinite Energy magazine, you would realize that MIT did indeed replicate P&F, did find excess heat, and did “recalibrate” the results to look like a null experiment. That is fact. And more relevant to the Rossi case, that Chuck Haldeman, the highly respected senior engineer at Lincoln Labs (MIT) twenty years ago, fully replicated the nickel hydrogen experiments of Mills at fairly high gain. Again, MIT refused to publish his results for fear of losing hot fusion funding. That is fact. Thus, it is very likely that Rossi “could have” and even “should have” witnessed thermal gain at some point in his progress, especially before Focardi died, but either could not, or would not, share that result at a later date with IH. He may have been playing them for fools, as the motivation for not sharing is completely mysterious. In any event, it is hard to imagine what happened to make Rossi decide not to demonstrate gain if he was able to do so - for IH. But if is pretty clear to any reasonable person, that if Rossi can do it now – it is self-destructive not to turn over a working device to a competent scientist. To hell with trade secrets, he is finished, otherwise. Rossi may have over-played his hand, thinking IH were complete fools, who knows? I can tell you that there is no valid legal reason that he could not supply one of his old working cells, if he has one, to an independent physicist for testing, despite the ongoing case. University of Miami has a competent physics program.
