There are fifty units in each reactor. Isn't that a bigger risk than telling people (generically) how he controls the reaction? He says a lot of stuff on his blog -- tons of it. Why if he's so secretive? And why sell a big machine with 50 reactors in it that has virtually no possible application other reverse engineering. Especially for a trillion potential dollars. Indeed, Rossi works in mysterious ways. If I knew something worth a vast fortune, I'd consult with the best possible people about how to protect it. I'd pay them well and do what they said to. I'd try to make their profits contingent on mine. Sort of like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Facebook's founders did. What I would never do is give demos to anyone until it had been protected. And then the demos would be clear, independently conducted and properly performed. But that's just me. I'm old fashioned and not very rich so maybe Rossi is smarter.
