As soon as it becomes generally known that the machine is real, thousands of corporations and national laboratories will make it their top priority to purchase a machine and reverse engineer it. Once they have a working machine and sample of the catalyst they will figure out how to make it. Rossi would not let Celani take a gamma spectrum because he said it would reveal the mechanism right away. If that is true, reverse engineering will be all the easier. - Jed
