I am an engineer have 40 years practice in chemical industry and I was professor of Management of Technology for 3 years in a school of Ecomanagement for directors, managers. Therefore I am not ready to believe such an statement - why exactly 2.5 Kw and not 1.8 or 3.2? I am sure Rossi can manufacture even *bonsai kittens* (do you remember the hoax?) but this is not an essential question. I have a vivid empathy for Rossi , he has solved a vital problem at a really high level. He has lots of problems- development, patent with no connection with the prior art, secrecy, the danger of competion, the bad publicity of cold fusion,scale-up, lack of theory, denialism of new energy, the possibility of reverse engineering of his devices and so on.You have shown that his commercial development strategy is perhaps not optimal. I think it is my/our duty to help the technology and to understand the position of the man Rossi. peter On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 9:55 PM, Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com> wrote:
