I just wish he'd get a single independent and credible test done. Never mind the PR stuff. As for the needs of customers, how do we know he ever had one or has one? > If he has teamed up with NI, that is exactly the right way to bolster > customer confidence in the safety and reliability of the equipment. I don't think he "teamed up" in the sense that NI knows anything about E-cats and that they work. I think Rossi offered to buy their products and asked for a quote. Maybe he ordered a few temperature controllers. Anybody can do that for almost any purpose. That he bought some and no other involvement is what I get from the quotes in Sterling Allen's blog: http://pesn.com/2011/11/10/9601953_National_Instruments_signs_to_do_E-Cat_controls/<goog_485773984> <http://pesn.com/2011/11/10/9601953_National_Instruments_signs_to_do_E-Cat_controls/> If I buy a Rolls Royce to carry my E-cat in, it hardly means that Rolls Royce understands or approves the E-cat or has anything whatever to do with it. If I use a component in an invention, in most cases, it's not a real association with the vendor. Rossi gains no credibility in my book by buying parts, regardless of who it he buys them from.
