FWIW, I did my own research about 2 years ago on this mysterious e-cat device, and I found out there is a surprisingly rich history of unexplained effects in nickel-hydrogen systems: heat that cannot be explained by theory. I am almost convinced Rossi and the few other (competing) scientists who are studying this effect are onto something HUGE. See my post: http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=61

Unfortunately the scientific community is very hesitant to review/reproduce the experiments because the words "cold fusion" have had an extremely bad connotation since the Pons and Fleischmann 1989 fiasco.

Scientific community would love to test his claims, except he didn't (or couldn't) tell exactly how it works.

I understand that if he actually discovered something that HUGE, he wouldn't want to tell anybody, I know I wouldn't.

But please, don't blame it on "scientific community", that's what conspiracy theorists morons say.

Rossi refuses to divulge many details, but other scientists give all information necessary to reproduce, see Piantelli's research for example.

At this point the blame fully lies on the scientific community for ignoring these.

Two groups tried to reproduce Piantelli's "discovery" and couldn't.

I still blame the conspiracy morons.

If you can reproduce it, why not revolutionize energy market and make billions? Let's hear your made up reasons why you can't.

Your attitude (aggressive tone, insults) is precisely why research is not advancing as fast as it could! You are part of the problem, not researchers who desperately work on reproducing the effect and who try to have their results taken seriously.

Also, I meant Celani, not Piantelli (sorry!). He has published a lot of information in the last 18 months, you should check it out, see:
