A facebook user Renzo Barbieri makes a good case that the source of Rossi's leaked picture is none other than Domenico Fioravanti, the engineer who did the Oct 1MW testing.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ECat.LENR/ In the first JONP Rossi calls Cures Prof. Fioravanti. In another, Cures signs his name Domenico. - Andrea Rossi July 24th, 2011 at 4:59 AM<http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=501&cpage=5#comment-56084> Dear CURES (Prof. Fioravanti): Very good suggestions, thank you very, very much. Warm Regards, A.R. - Cures September 15th, 2011 at 9:19 AM<http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=510&cpage=10#comment-72877> Caro Andrea non riesco a spedirti posta all’indirizzo [email protected] Mi viene respinta con la dicitura -impossibile inviare il messaggio- La mia posta sembra funzioni. Hai problemi con la tua? Domenico This smells like an authorized leak, since he signed the picture with his Cures alias that was known to Rossi... Worse, they appear to be old acquaintances.. which makes the claim of independent verification by an engineer working for a customer seem... unfortunately bogus. *Curiouser and curiouser! *- Brad On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Akira Shirakawa <[email protected] > wrote: > Hello group, > > Have a look at the following photo and the attached technical information. > These come from a quite reliable inside source who was allowed to "leak" > some data and information about Rossi's 1200 °C test E-Cat core currently > under testing.
