Rossi does strike me as an excitable Italian fellow with a warped sense of humor -- he actually provokes his detractors by giving out tidbits of "A" information that leads them to give out a published massive reaction of type "B" while Rossi knows that confirmation "C" is due to roll in next few week to make them all look like idiots.
And then he laughs at them all the while until he can stroll up to get his Nobel Prize in a few years.
Let's think of it this way using the fact base from this article.
http://coldfusion3.com/blog/it%E2%80%99s-official-us-startup-admits-to-purcha...Rossi now works from here: A lab in Research Triangle Park, close to Raleigh NC. His two main business partners have office suits in the business section of downtown Raleigh.
.... having shown these guys enough real data and real tests to convince these guys to pay him 11 million dollars for his E-Cat design. Since this level of support has come in behind the project in just a few months it has progressed and refined the E-cat idea tremendously.
His partners want a first product to sell, not a research project, so expect the E-cat core to start looking like a furnace component more and more and more. 
These people have all the resources and contacts necessary to make up small production runs of E-cats using the already noted production type welded cases and all the industrial contacts to put these pilot units into industrial heating plants where they can be run continuously under constant load with individually tuned inputs. They have investors lined up to buy stock in the new company, so funding isn't the issue --
getting the patents done is the current issue.
Nobody knows how long an E-cat furnace core will last, not really, not yet. And this info is needed so you can sell the things ..... so
duration and yield levels over time is the next series of tests.
Why all the secrecy?
Patents have not yet been granted. So it is a dance to protect the development that makes the trick work AND to verify the realities of the process enough for the patents to progress on to completion.
To his detriment, Rossi has also in the past seeded some red herrings into his posted and emailed words to send his competitors off down some blind alleys while NEVER mentioning the critical real trace catalyst elements that are needed for his process to really work. Rossi's past active flow of disinformation has now resulted in some of the current headwinds with which he has to deal.
Now, let's take it from the Patent Office's perspective. This stuff looks on the verge of working, but they don't want to grant generally worded very broad vague patents to Rossi that will choke off everybody else's development efforts at this very very early stage. It is better to do nothing and let the free for all continue as NEW PATHS are being uncovered that may be actually better than Rossi's path.
Plus they have had people actually submitting briefs AGAINST all these patent applications saying that this stuff CANNOT work according to any known quantum or nuclear methodology in use today. (duh, that is why it is groundbreaking and worth a patent)
Rossi himself as an individual does have many strong detractors, some of which are almost pathological in their hatred of the man's secretive nature and his various minor slight of hand tricks that were done while playing with their heads.
Tesla got the exact same treatment from the establishment and the Patent Office and his issues were merely pride, poor English and no personal interaction skills to speak of -- this resulted in Marconi being granted the radio patents and the Nobel Prize for radio while the Patent Office denied Tesla's prior patent applications due to minor technicalities and some very poor English.
Rossi has shown a development path to the Patent Office but he has not shown successful implementation up until just recently. His competitors are making similar progress down some different pathways, so this situation will likely be allowed to continue and Rossi will be reined in to more exact and specific wording that applies only to his pathway.
Industrial Heat LLC retains some of the best patent attorneys in the world, so Rossi's original poorly worded bad English patent application is being amended as we speak.
So Rossi and crew WON'T DON'T CAN'T say exactly where they are right now and how it all works .... if they did other people would be out there with competing patent claims ASAP.
BILLIONS of dollars of future revenue are at stake with every step they take in getting patented and then into real production.So far I have seen in the last week alone that Rossi and crew are further along that folks really know, with MULTIPLE secret real world testing installations that now have many total thousands of hours of run time on these first
production process type samples that they have produced off their first prototype assembly line.
Is this legal? Currently, yes .....
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not currently believe Rossi is for real, and this is very good for Rossi and company right now.
Expect all reference to "nuclear' to disappear from all materials from this point forward, with the Quantum Reactor (QUAR) naming to be used consistently for what is going on inside those little tubes.
They want to separate themselves from "nuclear" and all of its bad image, all of its insanely restrictive laws and regulations.Trust that once these current secret test sites are know, the NRC will be there very shortly with gamma radiation recorders and particle detectors looking for "failures to properly shield" and "lack of proper containment vessels as required by current NRC regulations".
Now, if these things do throw particles or radiation or have any hazardous by products -- then by golly Rossi and company might go to jail for a few years, especially if any unknowing innocent people are harmed.
Due diligence says this is not the case, these new investors don't sound like stupid people. Nor are the people who are working with them on this project. Each installation has radiation and particle instrumentation and auto shut downs out the wazoo as part of the test regimen.
If it makes you feel better, think of the E-cat as an esoteric heating element that seems to output more heat than one would expect from just the very high frequency input electrical energy.
The fact that this E-Cat heating element is constructed akin to a set of reactor cores (inside a well shielded welded shut miniature containment vessel) shouldn't put you off too badly, but certainly some testing on some intentional housing ruptures produced by piercing both the casing and the rods while at full operational output need to be done from a safety point of view. They simply need to know what would happen in case a fanatic shot one with a pistol .....
Meltdown testing has already been done repeatedly -- if the nickel powder melts the whole thing just stops. Use of Boron as a shielding agent and a moderator was developed to stop this erratic spiking in temperature. E-Cats ramp slowly and it stays at whatever temperature the high frequency exciter tells it to stay.
The "exciter" high frequency input controls the temperature and that is kept under 1,300
oF to make sure no section of the inner ring of tubes goes over 1,450
oF and melts its powder. Copper has a higher melting point, so the end product isn't going to melt any sooner than the nickel.
So, there isn't any China Syndrome with this energy source and it always fails safely. It requires no cooling and you can see the shielding required in the picture above (each E-cat core IS a separate containment vessel).
So, is it all a fraud? Is Rossi a charlatan or is he a Nobel Peace Prize winner? Does he get rich, or does he go to jail?
....... time will tell. Nikola Tesla died discredited, pennyless and alone after inventing AC power, AC generators, AC electrical motors, the radio, wireless power transmission and doing some very strange classified things with the USS Philadelphia during WWII. The Secret Service came and took all Tesla's unpublished papers and his death ray experiments and his ray projection apparatus away when he died and locked it all up.
