So, it is a trade secret. That works for a product with a limited market. If WD40 were worth hundreds of billions, other companies would do a chemical analysis of it, and then reverse engineer it. Cold fusion has gigantic market potential, so it will be reverse engineered no matter how difficult that may be. A trade secret would not work for it. - Jed
