But Rossi is not a clear confirmation of any prior work, since we don't know what's inside.
Sure he is. This is a confirmation of Piantelli and Focardi, and Mills for that matter. We know approximately what is inside: finely divided Ni and two other elements in trace amounts. Several reliable sources have confirmed that.
I dislike the secrecy, for sure. It's Rossi's right to be secret.
He has no choice. He would lose everything if he revealed the recipe now. He would lose years of effort and the opportunity to make billions of dollars. No one can blame him for being secret, although I do blame him for writing bad patents.
Anyway, I hope Levi, Daniele Passerini and the others who witnessed the 18-hour test will give us more details. It says they will. Google translate: "About what they are not branched [?] official report, which will instead be provided on the experiments that will soon be initiated in accordance with the Department of Physics. That will give us more to work with. It certainly eliminates any chance of stored chemical energy. I think the 30-minute run was beyond any real-world chemical explanation, but it was perhaps on the edge of some extreme techniques with rocket fuel. 18 hours completely closes that question, and several others.
Here is a mistake in the Google translation, which I discovered looking at the original Italian. It converted "Delta T" into "TD." The correct sentence should be:
"This was a test without steam (with the Delta-T deliberately well below those achieved last January 14)."
That's what Celani was looking for. That's good. - Jed
