It is interesting that Rossi does acknowledge that Ahern’s system worked. He implies that DGT system does not work. Anyway DGT has no patent coverage, so he is not likely to be overly concerned about them.
Ahern does have a patent application pending at USPTO -- but we know that our patent office has never allowed such a concept to get through. In Europe, WIPO allows LENR patents and this difference puts US inventors at a HUGE competitive disadvantage with Europe. Also Ahern was talking about nanomagnetism a year before magnetism showed up in DGT experiments, so they have no priority on it. Something has to be done at the political level to rectify this problem in patent coverage, assuming that Ni-H does work as claimed - or else the USA will completely lose out on the “next big thing” (except that Ampenergo has Rossi’s US rights and IH has the Asia rights) From: Axil Axil ...I am very worried of the wannabe competitors that now are presenting clowneries, like did Defkalion: they are very dangerous, because their failures will spray dirt on our work, as well as defkalion did: our enemies are eager to find another defkocones to say that all LENR world is a clownerie. Why is Rossi so worried about Defkalion? It seems that Rossi's Defkalion concerns are transcendent far above all other competitors. Dirt spraying should just give Rossi a warmer felling abut his competitive position. Could it be that the descriptions of the Defkalion reaction mechanisms regarding magnetism as well as some other details as described in ICCF documents are the same as Rossi sees inside his own reactor? Now that coincidence would give Rossi a hollow felling of uncertainty and dread deep in the pit of Rossi's stomach.
