Forbes is reporting it as serious news .......   and quoting NASA as their information source.

Yep, the silence is slowly lifting and the masses are being prepared for something .......

Spin and outlook on this Forbes article are very upbeat and positive.    Amazingly so.

Report is out on now on the one year test of the one megawatt plant.  COP is between 6 and 50 according to the impartial expert Observer.

Industrial heat has not paid Rossi the 58 million for the successful test completion according to their agreement.

Rossi is now suing industrial Heat for breach of contract and saying they have no rights to E-Cat and E-Cat X at all due to breach of contract.   They didn't pay him the 58 million, then they got bupkiss for IP according to Rossi's lawsuit.

Industrial Heat is filing their own patents on their own "LENR power process", anyway.

Rossi has dumped IH at this point in time, and will share no future IP with them.  IH will release some combined tech products off of old techs they do hold rights on, if they can make it work that is.    Industrial Heat does employ half of Rossi's old team at this point in time, so big kludgy Industrial Heat LENR plants will be built and installed.

Rossi however can make his both his old and his new stuff work.   Rossi is the only one that geeks the "secret sauce" completely.   Industrial Heat understands old E-Cat pretty well so they can run those sorts of plants pretty well, but Rossi kept some of the E-Cat X process under his hat so to speak, so Industrial Heat has some key information simply not there in their patent applications.   Same is true about Rossi's stuff as the secret sauce remains a secret.

Rossi also invents and patents brand new tech every six months or so.

He who builds and sells the first working LENR commercial products will count, I think, for who owns what ideas.

Rossi and Leonardo own E-Cat and E-Cat X,  but IH has distribution rights in  North/South America and China for Rossi's E-Cat products once some real products are produced and built  by Leonardo Corp.

Edison and Tesla, all over again .....

Industrial Heat wants Rossi to go skitter away into the dark now,  Cherokee has taken back all the IH assets leaving an empty shell company for Leonardo to sue.   There are several late investors who put a lot of money into Industrial Heat that now very much want to see their money back ASAP since IH admits they have NOTHING THAT YOU PROMISED US LONG TERM to get them to give IH that money.   But, since Rossi wasn't it, we now trust our Pantanelli and our Brillouin and our Mills to deliver on our LENR promises to you.

Industrial Heat sprang suddenly into existence, and it can fold up just as quickly if the upcoming court cases don't go its way .......

Brillouin is known to have been "illegally" given the benefits of Rossi's IP & technology but seems to be unable to blend it with their home grown Brillouin tech as Rossi was always a "fixed charge" system and Brillouin was always set up as a gas pulse agitated and slowly replaced tube of mobile powder.   Brillouin is maxing out at 6-10 COP even using whatever they can of Rossi's tech.   Mind you, it is enough to make them viable as a coal plant retrofit system ---- so this outcome maybe does have some benefit to society.

Mills is making more progress on his arc blast system but his COP is still very low.   Mills may contribute a trick or two, but he isn't likely a major player.

Rossi is gone now.   The Industrial Heat boys have what they have and they will develop whatever they can out of it.  

Some info is coming out that IH got paid 110 to 200 million by the Chinese for passing over Rossi's tech to the Chinese.   If this is so, the Chinese will work it and build something out of it.  

The Chinese are good at that --- China will assign 1,000 engineers full time to work out the bugs very quickly AS CHINA NEEDS CLEAN NON-POLLUTING ENERGY VERY VERY BADLY.   As does India, BTW.   Both will steal the missing bits of secret sauce IP from each other, Brillouin or IH and both countries will start crash programs ASAP.   Products will be built, soon.

Rossi will move to Sweden or Britain and ride his new X-Cat over there for a bit.    His next newly developed tech will be more carefully guarded and developed solely by Leonard Corporation for its own use and perhaps given to Hydrofusion and a few of the others to distribute as well.   But, since Rossi's main effect is already known to all the players now, he is just working on refinements.   Lots of folks can do those same sorts of refinements, too, you know.

HOWEVER, the cat is out of the bag now and the cat is very real and people do want a kitty of their very own now.

Lawyers will get rich as patents exist that are being violated as we speak ......

We all eagerly await developments from the Chinese, who will figure the rest of it out or steal it using good old basic espionage just like the Russians taught them to do.

Compare and contrast the search for hot fusion vs cold fusion now --- which one has more players drastically interested now.   The USA is paying Billions in hot fusion research and getting ABSOLUTELY nothing out of it.  

The Chinese spend just  ~ $200 million~  and get cold fusion tech handed to them.   Is this even legal?

NASA and DARPA both have an oar in this water -- they know a lot about this stuff and I don't think they appreciate it being sold to the Chinese.   Why aren't they being forthcoming?  I am sure they would want the Chinese to have to steal it just like they did all the rest of our nuclear and space technologies.

And yes, this LENR technology is being intentionally slowed down by the politicos in charge as LENR is EXTREMELY DISRUPTIVE to the USA economy -- if it was turned on tomorrow the oil industry would flip the whole entire USA economy into a tailspin as it choked and died ---- taking  ~30%~ of our jobs down with it.

Rossi has an order from the trial site customer for 3 additional 1 megawatt steam plants, bringing the total for that first user up to 4 of the 1 megawatt steam plants.

It sorta seems that it really works and the first customer is pretty happy with it.   Installations will be in England.

Rossi estimates it will take him 6 months to fill the order as the rapid assembly line is not set up at this time.

Rossi / Leonardo is in motion at this time.

This sounds stupid, but all the fuss means Rossi can ramp up manufacturing at a pace he can handle, while being funded by his first customer's sales.

It also means a whole new set of learning experiences and data and improvements can be collected to be integrated into the "full manufacturing" product when the full assembly line is set up.

The future may not belong solely to Rossi, however, since his starting point knowledge has been disseminated widely by Darden and Industrial Heat.   Once it has been combined into all the other different approaches, it will be difficult to get it back out again -- and eventually somebody is going to do it BETTER than Rossi, eventually.  

Remember, Rossi is an inventor, not a businessman -- he desperately needs a business partner that he can trust.   If Rossi cannot find his Westinghouse, then his now stolen ideas will never move him forward into the sort of future he wants to be part of.

     Rossi has a 1-2 year lead on the rest of the pack, but that gets shrunk by IH sharing his IP with them to a lead of a year or less ......

When these companies go public, then you can go invest in them.   Right now they are all Venture Capital (ie very high risk) and are not traded publicly.

OK, quick synopsis of the Rossi Wars ......

Rossi has left the IH fold very angry that Industrial Heat spread his confidential IP far and wide without his consent nor a penny being put into his pocket (beyond the initial 11 million that is).

Meanwhile, IH has employed the BEST PR outfit in the world and the BEST legal service in the world and APCO is doing the job that they are paid to do, which is to sideswipe Rossi and whomever else needs to be sideswiped to protect Industrial Heat, their customer.

Matts Lewan has run for the hedges at the very first salvo of career wrecking APCO BS that got sent his way.  

The folks at the E-Cat World website are simply tracking and recording every PR blast that is sent their way, since they are independent and neutral they feel that they can simply ride the top of the shite storm and let it roll on unimpeded beneath their keel.

SERIOUS MONEY is being spent to discredit Rossi right now and if I were him I would be moving where I sleep every night to keep the cardiac arrest injection boys away.

The Flip Side Report  =  Rossi is self-delusional, a harmless crank and amusing,  but please don't give him any money ......

Flip side support facts, nobody can get LENR to work at will, and this INCLUDES Rossi .....

PR and counter PR is flying hot and fast right now and Rossi is taking a lot of hits, skillfully aimed .....
