Jed, You are backing yourself into an extremist position with your latest comments. I don't believe that you or anyone else has enough data to *prove* that there was 0 excess heat in Rossi's attempt at a contrived "GPT". XH in this long experiment may not be close to what Rossi claims, but that is not the same as 0 XH.
I believe at least Parkhmomov, Jiang, and Zhanghang have demonstrated that there is evidence of XH in the inferred Lugano fuel system. In fact, MFMP's Dogbone replication suggests that there was XH in the Lugano experiment - just not nearly as much as claimed by the Lugano experimenters (JofCMNS v21). Since this fuel system and experiment design came from Rossi, it lends credence to the claim that Rossi does have *some* working technology. IH is duly indignant about the loss of $11M so far because Rossi has not taught them the high power, high COP technology he claims he has. Despite all the rhetoric, I don't believe that even IH believes that Rossi has nothing - only that he has not given them anything of significance compared to what he claims. There was even IH testimony in this case that there may have been some small XH measured in some of Rossi's replications at IH. It appears that the Lugano technology that Rossi gave to IH was "throwing them a bone". It is a low power, high temperature technology. I personally believe this works or I would not be actively developing test systems for it. I have seen Piantelli's lab, read his papers, and listened to him speak. I believe he has working Ni-H technology. If Piantelli has it, and Focardi said that Rossi had it (and I respect both of them), then it is likely Rossi has something. Regarding patents... the present patent is nearly worthless in the scheme of things by itself. It is nearly impossible to write a single broad patent when you don't understand how the technology works. No matter what, you need a whole portfolio of patents to provide useful protection - protecting both the core and all of the non-LENR peripherals around it. IH could have helped Rossi develop that portfolio, but Rossi's short-sighted greed has cost him an important partner. Maybe Rossi's stuff is not ready for product (which is not the same as having nothing). Rossi himself appears (but I have never met the man) not behaviorally mature enough to bring whatever technology he has to product, even with the best possible partner. He is destroying his own technology by his own bad behaviors. In the end, whatever he has will leak out and he will end up with nothing the way things are going. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including you. I think you are digging yourself into a deep hole with extreme statements which I believe are not support-able, even with evidence to which most of us are not privy. Those people that are lined up so staunchly behind Rossi seem equally guilty of an extreme position. Where is the scientific moderation?
