If Rossi had a device that actually worked as advertised, the first thing he would do would be to set up multiple peer-reviewed demonstrations that would prove his claims in an undebatable way. As soon as incontrovertible evidence was provided, Rossi would become a media superstar, make history, and receive billions in pre-orders from all over the world. And if the physics was on Rossi's side, it would be very easy for him to provide the "extraordinary evidence" required by his extraordinary claims.

But years have passed and the validity of the E-Cat is still an open question. There have been some demonstrations, but results are still very much under discussion. There is no undebatable experimental evidence that the device works as advertised. So either Rossi prefers mystery over fame and billions, or the E-Cat a scam in some form or another.

I followed this closely 2/3 years ago, skeptical, yet very excited by the possibilities of the outcome if true. I followed the heated debates on ecatnews.com, had a lot of fun but after almost 2 years of postponing a serious test, came to the conclusion it was a scam. I'm afraid this is yet another episode of a serie that just can't die.

If I understand correctly, it's either bologna or baloney. ;-)
