That this doesn't work is not (necessarily) synonymous with Rossi being a fraud. Completely honorable people are as capable as everyone else of being completely wrong.
there is this very distinguished Korean prof who convinced the whole world that he cloned a dog not long time ago. It turned out to be total fabrication.
You guys are writing as if Rossi would hurt the society if he is proven wrong. Of course, you will never say that G. Bush is the biggest fraud in history for telling 9/11 was a terrorists job or that FDA people are the biggest fraud for telling thousands of bogus, disgusting lies about health effects of various drugs and natural treatments. I hope cold fusion will work in Greece and the rest of Europe and it should be banned on U.S. just like xauusd and xagusd margin trading will soon be banned in USA. Let's also ban herbs and fruits in the USA! Ban barefoot walking, people can get hurt, you know!
I hope Rossi isn't a fraud. And I personally think he may have discovered something new and valuable, but I think we will only know when more rigorous testing is conducted. Cold Fusion is real. Over 3,000 successful experiments have been conducted. The problem has always been that reactions tend to last for only a few seconds. And occasionally a few minutes.
That's incorrect. Hot fusion that is done in the giant tokamak reactors is the one that last only for a few seconds. Cold fusion are slower reactions that can last for days or weeks.

It's probably because the last time two scientists from Utah made a high profile media claim about cold fusion, they got chase out of the united states. Cold fusion has a stigma attached to it.
The fastest route to gaining "respectability" would be to turn over a few of these gadgets to truly independent labs. Sorry, but all this secrecy stuff is characteristic of scams. We shall see in due course.

theres no such thing as "truly independent labs" you can hear of. the only labs who will have media coverage are the corrupted ones. labs which depend on external funding will never want to do anything with cold fusion, since the moment they will do it, all funding is gone. let rossi just do his business in a way he wants. humanity does not deserve his invention, does not deserve free energy. how come you tell the inventor what he should do? get the f##k off. if humanity moral standards will rise above animals.... well then cold fusion will be more widely available. besides... who wants free energy? Answer NOBODY! people love only money and nothing else
