Well yes, Rossi has intellectual property problems unless he discloses his secret additives in his patent application. That will separate his patent from prior art. He will still owe something to previous patents regardless, as they incorporate many of the claims Rossi has made in his application
The use of the word "catalyst" has, as far as I can tell, has created at situation where people are talking past each other. Nickel, especially powdered nickel, is used as a catalyst in chemical processes. From reading what Rossi has said, it seems he means that the nickel itself is a catalyst and the other materials assist the nickel in condensing the hydrogen in the metal such that fusion takes place and heat is generated. Calling the other secret substances the catalysts as opposed to the nickel itself is something I believe Rossi did not intend. And yes, it's only a matter of time until we find out whether or not this process really works. We're all rooting for Rossi, no? M.

I do not see how Randy Mills' or Mitch Swartz patents can create him problems. Because it is about bets I don't think Rossi has a real catalyst- it is more probably some additive that helps him to make good nanoNi. I will ask Randy - (who seems to be very busy- perhaps CIHT demos for specialists?) what he thinks.

How many others are out there ?? I suspect pretty much everyone on this list wishes Rossi (warts and all) the best of luck, including Jones. The recent fascinating technical (spat?) between Jones and Rothwell brings to bare the fact that what is being "discussed" more and more these days is the DEGREE of exploitable heat, not whether there is any heat worth exploiting at all. We are beginning to argue over whether the dinner plate is loaded up with a pile 150 steaming asparagus sprigs dipped in hollandaise sauce or whether the pile is instead a more modest number of 10. At least nobody (of any intelligence) is arguing whether there is any asparagus at all. ;-) There is a growing list of "contendas"... BLP, Swarts, Japan, India... All this is encouraging news. An underground race to build the first commercially viable "CF" reactor is in progress. (With appropriate apologies to Mills and Co and their misaligned hydrinos.) I think it's only a matter of time. Gentlemen, and women, place your bets. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks -- Dr. Peter GluckCluj, Romaniahttp://egooutpeters.blogspot.com
