> nor any evidence that he even used Raney nickel ...
Whoa. Not sure where that comment came from, but it indicates that the commenter has not followed Rossi's story very closely. In fact, there were two fires in New Hampshire at his lab during the period when he was working on the TEG, circa 2005-6 - which were stated to be from improper handling of Raney nickel. OK - you may say that this does not constitute evidence that he is now using it, since it was the cause of the past fires - and maybe he learned his lesson and switched to something safer after abandoning the TEG. Well, maybe. However, the very fact that the material is so extraordinarily energetic, makes me think that a diligent researcher would never abandon it when he is looking for the most energy out of an experiment. In fact those fires most likely pointed the way to what he has now. Hopefully he has now learned how best to activate Raney - so that it never has the chance to cause another fire. Jones
