According to Arthur C Clarke rules, once scientists can eat enough everyday without hunting for budgets, they are of no scientific value (too old).

Is that your problem tomclarke? You seem typical of the closed mindedness I see in the academic world these days.
See http://e-catsite.com/2012/05/07/mit-phy ... n-funding/ for a current example.

Hundun?

Apparently how ever long is required to use it to continue to excuse Rossi's clear falsehoods as misunderstandings.

Does it bother you that you find yourself modulating your explanations for Rossi's slip ups into narrower and narrower bands of improbable failures to communicate?

have actually got some neat engineering - e.g. cyclone engine - but mixed in with a whole load of rubbish/scam like intelligentry.

tomclarke,

Why is it "unthinking support" to want to research LENR at MIT? There is plenty of experimental evidence for it.

Earlier you claimed you didn't believe LENR because no replication had been carried out or there were measurement errors. Yet when someone wants to check it out you agree the effort should be rejected - because it goes against your belief that LENR doesn't happen. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

In 1905 the three epochal papers of the hitherto completely unknown Albert Einstein were published in the journal Annalen der Physik. Planck was among the few who immediately recognized the significance of the special theory of relativity. Thanks to his influence this theory was soon widely accepted in Germany. Planck also contributed considerably to extend the special theory of relativity.

What would have happened to Albert Einstein had Planck not seen the true in Einstein’s work, and what would our science look like today?

Planck saw something in the ideas of Einstein that no one else at that time saw. Planck read the paper and was able to see the truth in it. He took it seriously and evaluated it on its merits. He had enough self confidence in his own ability to stand up for the truth he saw within.

Discernment yes, a connoisseur of the true must root through the rubbish and the scam, but he must first be willing to make the effort and not be discouraged or follow doctrinaire.

In nuclear reactions assisted by resonant crystal or dusty plasma reactions, the age‐old trial‐and‐error method is the only way forward. Science relies on and revels in intuition, hard work, and pure luck. Therefore this kind of man on the street science is an evolutionary path to the next great leap forward. Just like in the origins of species, there are countless failures at the whim of luckless chance but on very rare occasion, success springs forth. This success is too valuable to pass by.

Science as an institution will always suppress and will keep on suppressing it, to our greatest peril.

That has no bearing on Rossi being a liar and an idiot.

No data yet, but some pretty pics have been posted by DGT:

I notice some faces blotted out in some of the photos. Don't know if that is a good or bad sign.

Discussion of the DGT release at Vortex:

http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40 ... 65653.html

DGT also updated there employment opportunities again (38 positions):

Actually, if you zoom on the pdf, you can read the numbers on the charts.

Looks like it is time for Rossi to put up or shut up with his fantastical dribble. DGT is actually trying to do something, not just spin a changing story about doing something.

I would also point out that one chart seems to show 5K in to 7.5K out. Positive, but not encouraging.

DGT is also playing the bait and switch game like Rossi. A small reminder that originally the test results (and not just those) were meant to be published... Where are they?

I think of DGT as Rossi Mk II. Same game, but much shinier and better at playing it.

I see nothing that contradicts this statement.

More Rossi lies. We have factories, we don't have factories, we are certified, we are not certified. Our factory is in the US, it is not in the US...

Elsewhere he comments (as best you can tell) that the 1MW is still in the garage in Bologna, but will be sold and delivered now in July.
How many times has it been sold now? How many times has it been delivered?

He is now claiming outright that another (never seen) 1MW was built and sold to the US military in the US. So what did he really mean when he told Florida BRC that there are no Ecats in the US? Nor any made in the US?

Hole, deeper.

tomclarke,
You never responded to my question,
"Why is it "unthinking support" to want to research LENR at MIT? There is plenty of experimental evidence for it. "

Might steal a few bricks from that cathedral to science called ITER?

I've never said research on LENR at MIT would be unthinking support. However the problem is LACK OF research on LENR, and LACK OF experimental evidence.

All we need is one replicable unambiguous experimental result. The Hagelstein etc crowd claim their stuff is replicable. Which makes it all the more strange that having been working on this stuff for 5 years + the results they obtain are still ambiguous.
