I think so too, but only if the customer allows observers in. As you know, Rossi claims there was one running in a factory in Italy for 6 months nonstop. (I think he said it is no longer running.) Unfortunately, no one knew about it or visited it, so it did convince anyone. > Or even *one* 10 KW unit, delivered to *one* test lab, which was being > funded by *one* VC group. > > > Seriously, the billions of dollars will follow. > That's probably true. Billions may not follow right away, but within a year I think they would. Word would get around despite the blackout in the mass media. If the 1 MW device is demonstrated, naturally I will upload as much information about it as I can get hold of. So news of it will spread to the readers at LENR-CANR.org and websites such as Pesn.com and newenergytimes.com. The mass media blackout will not prevent word from spreading. In the 1990s, before the HTML browser and search tools were added to the Internet, the mass media was able to crush cold fusion. (I am sure the Times and others did this because they sincerely thought cold fusion was pathological science, fraud and nonsense. I am sure Robert Park sincerely believes that.) In recent days in the Middle East we have seen how news can spread despite censorship and blackouts. I would not compare the power of the New York Times to that of the Egyptian government . . . but ridicule and ad hominem can have insidious influence over people's minds. Then too, "against stupidity the Gods themselves do battle in vain" (Schiller). - Jed
