Ampenergo was later to become Rossi's US partner, with rights to the sale of E-Cats in north and south America (p. 119). Cassarino had had previously done business with Rossi. The connection was deep -- somewhere during 1995 or 1996, Rossi had been hired on as technical developer for Bio Development Corporation, where Cassarino was vice president (p. 52). Rossi, Cassarino and Charles Norwood later formed Leonardo Technologies, Inc. (LTI), to explore the commercialization of Rossi's thermoelectric generators with the Department of Energy (p. 53). LTI, of course, is a major player in connection with the E-Cat. In my mind, this makes any Ampenergo test essentially an internal test, and not an independent one. Ampenergo gives the appearance of being another one of the many corporations that Rossi has started up for reasons known only to him. Eric
