As long as I get to chose the escrow company. The other problem is that I don't want a huge kludge for 2 million dollars! I'd be happy to buy a small E-cat for say, $100K? I'd set up the tests with some help from heat transfer/fluid flow specialists I know and it shouldn't take more than two weeks plus agreed on run time to do due diligence and acceptance testing. All I would require would be that it run a long time (2-3 weeks would be fine) and make a robust amount of excess energy -1 kW continuous would be fine. I'd be delighted (and would be able) to pay $100K for that. I'd also require that Rossi allow the test results to become public. No secrets-- just results in terms of methods used, instruments used, raw data obtained and computed results. No gamma spectrum or anything else he supposedly objects to. I am pretty sure nothing like that will be made available to anyone. Do you have reason to believe it will? If not, why did you ask? It would have been entirely in Rossi's interest to get one university (or famous lab) test rather than the dog and pony shows he provided yet he never did it. BTW, I offered $100K cash on the spot to Dennis Lee and Jeff Otto for their HHO assisted Honda Accord that they advertised on their web site made 100 miles per gallon of gasoline. I only asked that it have the same (or greater) performance and curb weight as the stock model and that the performance be verified on a dynamometer of my choosing. Also that all the hydrogen be generated from electricity derived from engine power without external supplies of electricity and that the test be long enough (several thousand miles to rule out chemical energy storage or fuel inside the chassis or some other subterfuge). All I heard were crickets in the night. The offer was made on Sterling Allan's web site.
