This is unadulterated ignorance. Randi has not learned a thing since I
last heard from him. His description of cold fusion and this machine are
wrong in every detail.
This is what we have to expect. If Rossi hits the mass media there will
dozens and then hundreds of people as ignorant as he is saying these
same things.
Rossi knows that as well as I do. It is a shame he will not do a proper
test. I expect he prefers things as they are, with people attacking him
and no serious competition from major corporations. As long as people
such as Randi and Park dominate the mass media there is no chance this
technology will be developed by people with billions of dollars and top
notch laboratories. I am pretty sure that is the case, because he and
others refuse to let me upload photos of his heater that ran for years,
or the independent tests conducted on the machines in that lab. They do
not _want_ people to believe them. Rossi does not want that because he
has no patent. The scientists involved do not want it because they want
exclusive access to the discovery for as long as possible. Academics
often do this. The ones who had access to the Dead Sea Scrolls managed
to keep the rest of academia and the public away from the original
sources for decades. The top people running the Hubble telescope made
certain the data would not get out to junior astronomers who might
discover something before they did. See the book, "Hubble Wars."
