In other words... It's all marketing...

Yeah...in a nut shell the testing lab couldn't determine with any level of certainty that the two samples they were testing came from the reactor or not. They just had to report on the composition of the samples, rather than the origin of them. Pretty standard stuff actually.
As for them not having access to the inner workings and design/materials of the reactor, that's pretty standard stuff too...would you let anyone have a look inside your world changing invention at this early stage?
Actually it's not 'pretty standard stuff'. Legitimate scientists do not work in the hush hush manner. Unless they are contracted to work on classified, but still, their methods don't change instead they are just limited to who they can share with.
And the second part is not normal either. Patents are meant to protect the inventor, so they can share it without risk. Rossi could have sent his work to independent labs and enforced confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements, if they broke those, they would be liable for a very large amount of money.
Nothing this guy does make sense, and there is no reason for defending very, very suspect actions.

Anything I have posted about Rossi is positive. I have shown his history and given him some context for ATS posters. That is great I think. Blindly believing anyone who comes out and says they have invented cold fusion has more negative consequences in the long run.
Just ask Rossi's previous investors...

Yeahhh.... I guess they conned 'the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology'..

In 1996, American physicist Alan Sokal submitted a paper loaded with nonsensical jargon to the journal Social Text, in which he argued that quantum gravity is a social and linguistic construct. (Read Sokal's paper) When the journal published it, Sokal revealed that the paper was in fact a spoof. The incident triggered a storm of debate about the ethics of Sokal's prank.

Jan Hendrik Schön (born 1970 in Verden) is a German physicist who briefly rose to prominence after a series of apparent breakthroughs that were later discovered to be fraudulent.[1]
Before he was exposed, Schön had received the Otto-Klung-Weberbank Prize for Physics in 2001, the Braunschweig Prize in 2001 and the Outstanding Young Investigator Award of the Materials Research Society in 2002, which was later rescinded. The Schön scandal provoked discussion in the scientific community about the degree of responsibility of coauthors and reviewers of scientific papers. The debate centered on whether peer review, traditionally designed to find errors and determine relevance and originality of papers, should also be required to detect deliberate fraud.
So why don't you put your money where your mouth is and PROVE IT! Prove this is marketing because pretty much everything else is pointing in the opposite direction.
The tube was made of copper and according to Rossi, the reaction chamber is hidden inside in the central part and made of stainless steel.
During the running we used the rightmost one of the devices, figure 4, which is surrounded by a 2 cm thick lead shield, as stated by Rossi, and wrapped with insulation, figure 5.
Since we do not have access to the internal design of the central fuel container and no information on the external lead shielding and the cooling water system we can only make very general comments.
There is no evidence that this is just marketing, on the contrary, there IS evidence that this is the real deal. Not proof mind you, but evidence.
So if you're gonna be a skeptic just for the sheer hell of it you should probably have the evidence to back it up. Good try though..
Oh no it's you again. Even when absolutely credible scientist and real science journals provide the verification you still somehow know more than the physicists.

Luckily no one cares what you think. Also love your sketchy links. You blast others and then provide bogus info yourself as long as it supports your cynical claims.
Rossi has a sketchy business past with a machine that worked. Not vice versa.
Is he a shady dude? Maybe.,but that has nothing to do with his concepts being proven.
Your cynicism and conspiracy theories are the opposite of some o the crazies on here But that makes you just an opposite nut.
...My belief is that the US government was working on a 50 year plan to deal with the Middle East... and to ensure tech like cold fusion and antigravity doesn't go mainstream..
Your bias is showing as you forgot to mention the several prominent scientist who have verified the device output being greater then the input, confirmed it is a low level safe nuclear reaction, and ruled out any trickery or hidden power sources.
So yes read this other thread where Boncho posted several attacks on this technology and read my responses to him. Bottom line is Boncho is trying way to hard to debunk this and drawing conclusions based on hearsay. He is johnny on the spot the second anything is posted like this. I have refuted all his arguments.
Your bias is keeping you from acknowledging that no independent study was done on Rossi's system. And nothing has been accepted into any legitimate journal. There has been no proper peer review.
Its easy to not get an accepted Peer review when the Oil Barrens and energy giants are not letting any type of free energy get out to the public.
BTW he signed the contract saying he wouldn't make any money if it doesn't work whats your excuse for that huh??

"The temperature and 'air quality' measurements were taken INSIDE the reactor, (in holes prepared by Rossi) instead at its final output. Nobody could see inside the reactor so there are a lot of possibility. One possibility I thought is that an amount of the water flow have been diverted. One part of the water flow actually goes inside the "hot core", heats and became vapour and another part simply bypass everything in another internal pipe and go directly to the output where it is re-mixed with the first part. Nobody measured the output steam flow or its speed (should be around 74 m/s for 5 g/s flow!!!) The electric power input was sufficient to vaporize the fraction of the water flow that goes into the core and that is measured. With a divertor commanded by a simply thermo-sensor, all can you see from outside is a behaviour like a start of internal energy generation insted it's only the start of a flow fractioning. All this consideration is independent from the honesty of Rossi, there is this possibility so it has to be denied by a new measure (possibly without steam production)."

This does sound like that Italian scientist who figured out how to send a man to the sun.
They were going to leave at dusk.
