Terrible translation > *Jones: Not sure how Google Translate caused Rossi to be translated to > Jones; Smith, Jones, whatever. Rossi is a common name in Italian and usually translates to Smith, sometime to Jones in Google. It makes no sense but it's not unusual. NOTHING in this acknowledges by the university that they have been paid. Even if they had, the payment could be to shut them up under an NDA while they piddled around with some powders and chemicals doing basic research. Any money they get from Rossi could have come from investor funds and not from a buyer of a megawatt plant. Before you can be sure the E-cat is real, you need to know that the university has received an entire E-cat device to test. It doesn't matter what size. But the university also has to state that the device works as Rossi says when proper calorimetry is performed by one of their specialists in calorimetry. It has to be someone who won't be bamboozled by wet steam. And the tests have to be more than one, long enough to rule out any internal energy storage or generation and repeatable within reasonable limits. Those criteria are exactly as far from being met as they were before that statement was made.
