This, I disagree with. Heat is the only thing that matters. Heat is

it is nuclear or angel farts.
The source determines the engineering behavior, the life-time, and the
cost. I would imagine angel farts would be of limited supply. :-)
As I have been saying many times, if the reaction is nuclear and is
described by my model, Rossi and DGT are making tritium. This is
essential to know. That is why the kind of reaction is essential to
know before the process is made commercial.
Instead, Rossi, starts by trying to master the engineering problems
without demonstrating the source of energy.
Well, that is what he is capable of. He is an engineer, not a
physicist. If he keeps doing this and he allows the customers near
the product I am sure he will soon be swimming in money. Unless
someone steals it from him.
That I expect that will happen. His granted patent is a joke and he
has no idea what is causing the heat. Until he understand the process,
he can not write a useful patent. He is in a serious situation. The
more other people publish, the less basic understanding is available
to patent because it becomes prior art. At some time, the granted
patents will only describe various engineering designs, with each
competing for a small part of the market, like selling a better
toaster. The basic process will not be granted a patent any more than
the laws of thermodynamics could be patented.
