We have already discussed this. Rossi says that the present configuration is with a stainless steel cell, not copper. Levi et al. saw the outside of the cell and they agree it is stainless steel. It could be that the inside is copper, but that is not what Rossi says, and that would be an odd way to make a cell. Why not make the whole thing copper? So, for now, I think it is most likely the patent is out of date. That's my working hypothesis. It could be wrong. I think I made that clear before, in several statements. Feel free to disagree, but please do not ask me to reiterate such things. - Jed
