I wrote earlier that Rossi is in a bind because he has no viable patent. Then just now I wrote that I have urged him to do a proper test, get funding, and then hire experts, the way, Robert Lynn recommends.
The problem is, Rossi does not trust outsiders. He cannot even bring himself to give a reactor to the University of Bologna where he has many friends. This is a problem largely of his own making. I understand why he does not trust people. He has had a painful life and he has often been betrayed and unjustly persecuted. For example, one of the charges they sent him to jail for was defrauding the stockholders. He himself was the only stockholder, so this was Kafkaesque. Someone in the Italian justice system had it in for him. I do no see any way for him to escape this conundrum. Rossi says that "a public demonstration, controlled by independent engineers, for the benefit of the international media can be beneficial for the dissemination of E-Cat . . ." would be "completely useless." I expect he sincerely believes this, but it is nonsense. Without question, such a test with be beneficial for the dissemination of the E-cat. But it would destroy his business strategy. He would not think of doing it. Plan B would be to adopt a conventional business strategy like the Lynn and I advocate. I am sure he has never seriously considered doing that. When I and others have suggested this he has brushed us off. As things stand he will never allow a proper test. - Jed
