Horace,
Just for your information, I was present at the foundation of the
very first Aquafuel Company in Largo (Tampa). Santilli (a
mathematician
of genius) and Leon Toups a businessman (who after his death was
declared a saint- his son was working at the Vatican) have bought
the patent of Richardson- a welder.
I have received a lesson about the American corporate spirit.
Santilli has discovered that Aquafuel contains "magnecules". Long
story not beautiful, it ended when Santilli has sued Infinite Energy
for not publishing a n-th paper in the frame of his endless
theoretical dispute with an other Italian guy, Corso (?). Being an
adviser I had to pay 12,000 US$. The trial didn't took place,
fortunately.
However nothing to learn from this story that I just sketched here
this has happend in an other part of Florida not Miami where Rossi
works. I have stopped at Sarasota, visiting Patterson.
That is a very interesting anecdote Peter! An interesting chapter
in a checkered past for the field. Thank you for posting it. I
would ask to hear more, but, given the litigious history, I can see
that would be inappropriate. Perhaps you would enjoy publishing it
in detail posthumously? 8^) Hopefully it will be in your memoirs.
I recall at the time it seemed to me that pyrolysis, even if it
turned out to not be ou, held great promise for converting pulverized
garbage into energy. This is an interesting coincidence, given
Rossi's prior involvement in garbage incineration for energy and
eventually in converting garbage into oil via the Petroldragon
process. Perhaps it would be well justified if the present scheme
were designed to wreak revenge on the corrupt bureaucrats and others
who gave him so much legal grief regarding his green technology. I
don't see how it could be focused on them, however. The old story
is documented, with links, here:

What a great movie Rossi's story would make. His story might be
worth millions. That might be the best revenge of all. Rossi has
sold his house and business, so perhaps he is prepared to move to
some nice water front location for retirement ... or perhaps to
continue work.
Best regards,
