But are there a million?

Rossi is now catching sporadic grief from about half of the peanut gallery for some these mentioned items.


Frank is reacting to try to explain or to protect Rossi, but Mats Lewan is not trying to protect anything but the truth.

Mats Lewan and Rossi have apparently had a "intellectual disagreement" over the calculations of light density and thus over the effective power rating of Rossi's light.

Matts simply says some of the same stuff that Eegore keeps saying, that Rossi needs to have a respected impartial 3rd party go go over his results and error check and certify them.

Matts asked Rossi to do this months ago before pushing these results out into the public view, but Rossi was simply too cautious to go do that.   Plus, the reviewing party might actually have a chance to learn too much about how Rossi's stuff actually works and Rossi simply won't have that happen.


===================================================


If you count "purchase dollars" as an important part of your world, Rossi's light is a much better deal than his power station.   You could shine 5 Rossi lights on to black sheet metal and heat my den up the necessary amount, with the bounce light off the black surfaces then bouncing off the walls and ceiling being enough to light the room up very nicely in addition to mildly heating it.

However, if Matts is right, each light isn't 10,000 lumens, but is closer to 5,000-6,000 lumens which is then focused on down by the lens system.  

Yes, Rossi's lamp is FOCUSED DOWN into a relatively narrow beam, not in a 360^o spherical effect like a light bulb does.

On the power station side of things, Rossi has apparently grossly overpriced the power station and likely will have to do better later on when he comes out with the next improved versions.

He can do this because one set of control hardware can supposedly energize 100 power modules and his improved power units out next year will have like 20 modules or possibly even more to be run off of one controller.

The current single module single controller version of the power station is simply too weak to do anything useful and it costs far too much if you buy enough of the existing single module separate units to do anything other than trickle charge a moderate sized battery.

Real durability of the lights and the power station are very much in flux and in doubt.    Rossi has made reference to 100,000 hours life for the power station which is a factor of 10 more than the 10,000 hours that he claims for the light.    Nether claim has been tested beyond being some projections of Rossi's initial lab data.  

In truth, nobody knows what the life span is for real as prolonged full life testing is required and that takes 10 years time at a minimum.

Reminder, none of this is real at the moment ---- it only becomes real when it starts shipping in finished units.

Matts asked Rossi to do this months ago before pushing these results out into the public view, but Rossi was simply too cautious to go do that.   Plus, the reviewing party might actually have a chance to learn too much about how Rossi's stuff actually works and Rossi simply won't have that happen.

 I don't believe this is the case.  I think his products do not do what he says which is why there are all the setbacks.  There are many ways to have products independently tested without tampering with the device that this is not even remotely an issue.  Tons and tons of products are tested without tearing them apart exposing them for reverse engineering, this is just plain nonsense.  Independent testing will not reveal secrets,  Rossi can observe, just not control any of the device, this paranoia and secrecy thing is more likely a ploy.


 I mean is it more probable that Rossi keeps making promises he can't keep and that's why no partner ever backs the product.  Or that Rossi nor any investor or partner can not find a single way to test a product and maintain that product's integrity?

 If someone promised you a lawn mower that would cut your grass once a week for 2 years on a single AA battery, and showed you video after video of it Not doing that, but had demo after demo of it turning on, would you be sitting on your front porch waiting for that lawn mower to show up a decade later?

 How long will secrecy, Big Energy assassins, ego, paranoia etc. be the reason this stuff has no verifiable information that it performs as stated, versus the idea that maybe his product just can't do what he says it can?

 

"He is too egotistical to cooperate with any knowledgeable marketing firm he might have the good sense to hire."

 This is where I disagree.  I think his device does not perform as he indicates and therefore can not work with anyone.  He doesn't need a marketing firm, he could use independent crowdfunding.  

 For me it is the culmination of multiple things, like lack of tests, pledge based ordering, secret partners, etc. etc. that leads me to this conclusion, not just his ego.

 Good article, it sums up a lot of my thoughts as well.

"That is, it’s easier to set up a nuclear magnetic bottle and mimic the inner workings of the sun than it is to throw a rock into a raging fire."


 This is a good point as well:

That’s the one real, concrete success of the fusion startups that you can point to: not extracting energy from seawater, but extracting money from speculators.


 At least Rossi isn't in the hundreds of thousands of dollars of crowdfunding with no results department.  I doubt it is due to some moral high road but who knows.

 I don't think a ton of people just changed their order from a light(s) to SKLep based on that video.  Especially given the significant cost difference.  This doesn't add up.

 If I were trying to convince people to buy another product of mine when one of my products is obviously not going to work, or can't be made - this is exactly what I would say.  

 Either way since it costs me nothing but a few words typed in a menu I went ahead and ordered some.

Frank puts out a summary of his involvement in Rossi's presentation and the activities since then that is reflected in the light of what Frank knows (and Rossi agrees that can be told at this stage of things).

There is a lot of new stuff in here, this new summary is worth reading for the various confirmations and new items that it broaches.

Rossi has now committed his funds and efforts all focused into the little generator family of products.   Rossi gave Frank a copy of the certification package he had bought on the little light, simply saying the little light's tech was the same tech as what was in the little generator.  

Rossi has totally dumped off a considerable amount of effort and investment that he had made in the little light ----- simply saying that customer demand was for the power supply, not for the light.

This begs a BIG question, Unit Life Span is still unknown .......





Rossi has pegged the little generator's life at 100,000 hours of life (11.4 years) vs just 10,000 hours life for the little light.    Is this real or is it just another Rossi "development data approximation"?

Is one of them a typo or are both items just wild arsed swag guesses at this stage of things?
