So far the goal post (much to my surprise) has not moved, at least not since July. Their devices are getting more and more elaborate, which I find interesting. If nothing else, he certainly has invented quite an interesting new type of lightbulb ;)
I am still quite sure it is nonsense, but he seems to have changed his game a bit lately. It will be interesting to watch how things will continue next year.

While I'm not holding my breath (or investing) there is always the possibility that they've (finally?) come up with something real. As others have said on other similar topics, however, I'll believe it when a sample device can be truly independently verified (assuming the latest 'independent verification' isn't actually independent).

No, they've never had anything, and they've still got nothing. Life's too short to waste on that nonsense.

I've never said they have anything, past or present. I'm just saying its possible the recent change is because they discovered something. I don't think they have, and I would advise anyone that they haven't, but it is a possibility.

I currently look at it like a science fiction story. When you do that, it is kind of entertaining ;)

Yup.

Seems like none of their former investors are willing to put anything inside the company anymore and in a move to find more idiots (I mean investors) they now resort to travel to the biggest pork barrel market in USA :roll:

I would also offer they have seen what Rossiclown did as far as "increasing complexity".
It is all about the 'razzle-dazzle'.
It has worked for millennia, why should it stop now.

What reactor? So far, Rossi has had three or four different ones and none of them have actually done anything. Nobody is desperate, except possibly Rossi and his employees/partners.

Rossi had a 1 MW reactor work for a year. The ERV (independent referee) said it worked well. Official verdict has to wait for the court.
That reactor looks like it has been superseded by the QuarkX to some extent although Rossi may be making some of the old design too. Rossi's forecast is that he hopes to make it public in February 2017 with commercial reactors later in 2017.

I suppose it has been too difficult for you to follow the links from BLP that I provided. It looks like they are on track with meetings in Washington & London in December. Their forecast was for a working prototype mid 2017 and a production prototype at the end of the year.

Brilouin also forcast a commercial device next year.

References? Or do you mean you heard that 2017 would be the year, for many years now?

I bet you really like the Tokamak promises.
