guys, whatever that is, do You really think that Rossi put something like that into real world commercial operation? THz pulses with significant energy?
on a partial cost basis of say $100 of his ecat-3. Sorry to say: You must be completely deluded and have not idea what technology is all about. Did you ever build something slightly sophisticated? If not, shut up and retreat to your cave or listen to people who did. Citing something exotic does not make it operational, Daily techno-gossip is full of crap like this. GET REAL! Very annoyed. Plus: Dear Lou. If You cite crappy points from dkos, please elaborate. I have no problem if You attack me directly. I will respond accordingly. Please be warned!

According to this news item, THz radiation also induces ballistic current flow in some semiconductors. I am curious if this can occur in semiconductors containing, or in contact with, hydrides.
