    What do you guys think?

    Edit: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3144827.ece

    They took that latest Rossi PR op apart over on talk-polywell. While there’s no evidence of fraud the arbitrary conditions of the “tests” still allow way to much room for error, misdirection or both.

    They say that nickel was transmuted into copper and iron.

    I’m waiting for a Rossi device that transmutes nickel into gold!

    They’re allegedly building production-ready, commercial devices. I’m deeply sceptical, but the best way to show critics wrong is to have these actually run for a few weeks producing power.

    (As I recollect, of course, Fleischmann and Pons also promised cold-fusion-based household water heaters very soon after their own announcement…)

    As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

    And I think there’s a lesson here for FF as well. If one can indeed generate practical over-unity power cheaply, the opinion of some professional doubters won’t really matter. Utilities and companies that need remote power are pretty pragmatic — if the device works, they’ll use it.

    As long as the batteries don’t run out 😉

    Here is an article about cold fusion transmuting zirconium into palladium and iridium!
    You get energy and some expensive by-products.

    All these will increase competition … even if the largest portions of the claims would not materialize into useful energy production … I do believe that the energy field is now where the IT was in the late 80’s – e.g. the big inventions and the Internet are ahead …
    So:
    – price
    – scalability
    – speed to market
    – productivity
    – reliability

    Thus FF has great potential even all LENR claims turn out to be true … At the end what matters is to get the big oil and dirty coal realize that by using their old technology they will die in the new order …

    has anyone shown any residual radioactivity after shutting down the Rossi reactor?

    if it’s doing fusion for real, there should be some positron emitters created by it.
