Peter Heckert's post is interesting! But I still don't think Rossi can even get a law suit heard in the United States if I were to call him a scammer which of course I have not done. I said he *may* be scamming. That isn't really arguable (and also it doesn't say much).

How does doing this 10 -12 times in the coming year help? Doesn't he know that sooner than later, one of the devices he gleefully sells will be disassembled and reverse engineered if they work (a gigantic "if")? Actually, the existing messy leaking kludge he showed on October 28 that worked a lame few hours coupled to a huge generator could only be sold for reverse engineering. I can't think of any other reason anyone else would buy one! And of course nobody would buy one unless Rossi has shown them a heck of a lot better evidence that it works than I have ever seen or read about. > .This is *his* discovery, *his* intellectual property, and *his*business.
