Actually if it does work (and that's a big IF) , he is insane not to get into bed with a university, unlessstefanbanev wrote:Once Rossi has a sufficient number of "customers" he apparently has no objective reason to waste money for universities. The universities may be helpful to buck up the credibility of technology so, having the customers in line cancels the need for such "cooperation"; in fact, it increases the risk of leaking out of "secrets". So if Rossi does pay 500K may indicate that he still does not feel secure enough about his business footprint, likely because the e-cat is not robust enough to meet the criteria to be a product.Giorgio wrote:Or bothSkipjack wrote: Yeah, but didnt he announce that he wanted to give the UoB the money for the testing and research, once he got the money from his customer?
So either the customer did not pay, or Rossi was liing.
he has a team of scientists on staff to figure out what's going on and publish /
patent to lock down his IP. Trade secret is crazy, this is a first iteration and the design
is not characterized much less optimized. If it works and he continues to follow this path,
someone is going to eat his lunch IMHO.
