Biggest advantage? No oil. Clean up after a sinking can be a mess and a lot of that comes from having to clean up spilled fuel or draining the tanks (*which may not be conveniently placed).

Also, from Cassandra's legacy: http://ecatdoteudotcom.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/brc-rossi-report-pg-015.png?w=640 Note the following: "All production, distribution and use occurs overseas." That pretty much says it all, since we've seen no evidence of overseas factories, including Rossi's own stat...

You know, it might be true that the DOD fiasco, petroldragon, the continual misrepresentation of the E-cat and refusal to provide any proof are not in fact a sign of lying. However, one must point out that *every* business or scientific mission he has embarked on has left non-functioning products, t...

I regret to say that I'm right now doing a lot of freelance writing. Good news: I get paid. Bad news: Not a lot of time for other stuff. :( But yeah, the big thing is that we need to be very serious about having critical, well documented work, and never giving people like Rossi a pass becauase we re...

I'm working an another science fiction novel and part of it (not a central part) is a drive to get polywell units deployed and ready to go. So, if say the government walked up to the polywell people and said: "I need this within 12 months, preferably sooner-- we need to know if it will work. In orde...

Always pointing us to 3000 papers etc is not helpful, and does not prove your point. Or to be blunt, explain why Rossi can't seem to even handle pre-graduate level work in terms of being able to devise a method to accurately measure his energy production. These are not minor issues-- saying you're ...

Not certain if this is where it goes, but my blog Fusionfuture (which doesn't just discuss fusion) has a new post:
https://fusionfuture.wordpress.com/

It's mostly about Rossi's "Work" but their are some other things I'm going to be putting up fairly soon.

Hope people are interested!

Both Focus Fusion and Polywell fusion systems are small-- in comparison to big generators.

But that's very much "In comparison."

So is it possible that we may one day get them down to car engine in size, or is that bumping up against solid physics (as opposed to engineering) barriers?

If Rossi turns out to be a scam, which right now I'll lay pretty good odds, as in about 95% given his past history, thisi s gonna be another punch right in the Kisser for LENR and all advocates of non-traditional forms of energy.

BTW EMC2 is not claiming any new unexplored science. Just a different configuration of known principles. OTOH Rossi has a jumping story problem. He needs to get it under control so it is not continually contradicting its self. First there was no radiation, then some, then none (or was it the other ...

Crawdaddy -- I think the question of whether Rossi is deluded or committing "fraud" (whichever way on chooses to define that, he has already said he misled Defkalion) is not very interesting relative to the question of the maximum possible chemical potential that could be contained in an E-Cat in t...

No, we're those who remember the ancient wisdom-- there's a sucker born every minute. As for vitrol, you bet-- because every time a lunatic fraudster runs about and screams about his new energy device/sooper fusion system/pixy dust powered unit and the advocates on the internet grab it, with a healt...

That might be true-- but Rossi continually arranges matters so those who can make such measurements never can do so. IE: According to Francesco Celani, a physicist with the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Frascati, Rossi says he has sold his device and that he has no other unit avai...

Why do I take a firm position? The man has not one but TWO fraud convictions. He refuses to do the obvious - heat a very large bucket of water. And then there is the SMELL. I smell EEStor type emanations. And yet on this very board there were those who were SURE - the k value was measured and confo...

MSimon, Rossi reports he has now reached 450°C with 4 E-Cats in series. I can understand why you have doubts, but not why you are so certain before the jury returns. You are the real believer. Was that with or without the 750KW generator needed for the heat-er, my mistake, the testing equipment? An...
