For readers who don’t have time to read the 201 pages of New Energy Times #37, I have distilled it into a two-page summary called “Rossi’s Scientific Failure in Seven Steps.”
I can distill that two-page report even further, into two paragraphs:
In a seven-month period, the Rossi group sought credibility for its claim of extraordinary levels of excess heat through scientific and academic validation. In seven public attempts, the group tried to demonstrate convincing experimental evidence for its claims.
In all attempts, the group failed. It has no experimental evidence on which to base its extraordinary energy claim. It never did.
Rossi then changed strategies and claimed that he would prove his claim commercially, with a working device, in October, in Greece, through his partner Defkalion Green Technology. When the day came (Aug. 1, 2011) for Defkalion to make its first payment to Rossi, it didn’t. He then dissolved his relationship with Defkalion. No Greek factory. No public demo in Greece.
Still riding on his remarkable promotional abilities, Rossi met the next day with a new potential investor who apparently did not understand or did not care about the significance of Rossi’s track record of failed demonstrations.
Will this new potential investor strike it rich? Or will this investor and his scientific advisers learn the importance of scientific validation?
There is good work in the LENR field, worthy of attention and funding. This is not it.
