From Peter:
...
There seems to (hostile) competition between Piantelli
group and Rossi. Krivit in his website gives the
impression to be independent, but his "sponsor" is
unknown and he seems to prefer the piantelli group
over others.
You seem to be speculating, and therefore insinuating that Krivit's
sponsor(s) might have direct or indirect ties to Piantelli's group. I
seriously doubt this.
Now, Krivit wrote about Rossi "Rossi and Focardi LENR Device: Probably
Real, With Credit to Piantelli".
It is clear Piantelli and Focardi made the first reports about H-Ni
fusion. But Rossis device is completely different, using powder instead
a solid nickle cylinder and using high pressure instead subatmospheric
pressure.
Of course Piantellis patents tries to cover all other methods that a
human could think about too, but I think these claims are invalid.
There cannot be a patent on H-Ni fusion in general.
You can have a patent on an Otto Motor but you cannot have a patent on a
fuel combustion motor in general, otherwise Diesel could not have made
his motor.
So I really think, Rossis reactor has nothing more to do with Piantellis
invention as that they both use H-Ni LENR reactions.
Also Piantelli has the patents, but Piantelli is a biologist, while
Focardi is a nuclear scientist and if they had no contract while
ressearching, Piantelli cannot claim ownership for Focardis work and
most of the publications seam to originate from Focardi.
So Krivit clearly tries to emphasize Piantellis rights here over
Rossi/Focardi rights.
This is one reason how I came to this assumption.
When I was still a BoD member for Krivit's NET
organization his "sponser(s)", at least during the time when I was
still a BoD, seemed pretty independently-minded to me. I could be
wrong, but I doubt Krivit's sponsorship would have changed all that
much since my departure.
If the sponsors are not known he cannot claim independence.
Rossi seems to believe Rossi [Did you really mean Krivit???]
Yes I meant Krivit, obviously.
This is a result of errorneous editing (because Im not a good english
speaker) and a lack of time while writing this.
was acting as a spy for his progress and industrial secret
during the demonstration, that he gave to Krivit.
This is obviously Rossis point of view.
I dont share this necessarily.
Again, we see Rossi's emotional side getting the better of him. He is
not doing himself any favors letting his emotions dictate supposition
& speculation concerning the actions of others for which probably
knows very little of.
I think Krivit is biased to support his sponsors and
gives not untrue, but biased reports about LENR for
money reasons.
Again, I disagree, based on my own past interactions with Krivit. At
least during the time when I was a BoD member Krivit did NOT appear to
have financial "sponsors" who actively supported any particular
theory, including WLT.
Granted, Krivit does seem to give many the impression that he favors
the Widom-Larsen theory.
I mistrust all theories that are made by companies seeking for investors.
I also dont understand why each new company must have their own theory.
I suspect here is science abused as a marketing instrument and I dont
like this.
This is why LENR urgently needs a repeatable simple experiment that
shows energy production reliable, repeatable.
It wouldnt matter, if the COP is only 120% as long as it easy and
reliable to measure.
Before this happens, serious research cannot start.
So far I know, several universities and companies had tried to replicate
Piantellis findings, but did not find any excess energy.
However, what Krivit seems to show, at least
to me, is a willingness to revise his opinion if additional evidence
were to come about that throws water on the WLT. I suspect Krivit
would change his tune if a better, new and improved theory came about.
Not theories are needed. There are more than anybody could want. An
experiment that shows repeatable scientific evidence is needed.
Best,
Peter
