He made no effort to convince the experts at all. Neither did Edison back in 1878. The reasons were probably similar. Edison knew he had solved the problem, but he had a lot of work left, which meant there was more intellectual property there for the taking. Low hanging fruit. He did not want his competition to take him too seriously. On the other hand, he needed more big bucks from the investors and banks. It was a delicate balancing act. How to keep up the excitement while triggering the lowest possible level of serious competition. Rossi is doing exactly the same thing. I recognize that is his strategy. He is hardly keeping it secret. Countless inventors and companies have done this. It does not mystify me at all. To people unfamiliar with business it looks crazy. - Jed
