Andrea Rossi has lost one of his major supporters because of allegations that he told an employee of the state of Florida his ecat cold fusion device does not produce nuclear reactions. The allegations cropped up online last week backed up by reports from an official of the Florida Health Department who visited Rossi’s home in Miami Beach, Florida. The reports are backed up by what are apparently official documents from the state of Florida.
The official went there to investigate a report that Rossi was building nuclear devices. All of Rossi’s work is apparently done in Bologna, Italy, where he maintains a workshop. Although he lives in Miami and has announced plans to build a factory to produce low energy nuclear reaction heating devices in the US. Rossi told the official that all of the research and production related to ecat is being done overseas.

These revelations prompted one of Rossi’s most vocal apologists Sterling D. Allen of the Pure Energy Systems blog to drop his support of Rossi. Allen has been an outspoken support of Rossi and even created an official ecat website that Rossi later rejected it and asked for it to be taken down.
In a post on his Pure Energy Systems blog Allen stated that he no longer believes that Rossi is building a low energy nuclear reaction device. He has also moved Rossi’s Leonardo Corp to the Buyer Beware part of his site.

Part of the reason why Allen is so upset is that the address the Florida official investigated appears to be an apartment house in Miami Beach according to Google Earth. Rossi had dropped hints that he had a workshop or a factory in Miami in the past.
Allen is only the latest supporter to turn on Rossi. Rossi needs to take some serious action to win back support from people like Allen who out their way to defend him. A good way to do that would be to bring out and publicly demonstrate a working ecat device. Having it tested by scientists and technicians would be a good step as well.
Rossi has taken one interesting public step to repair his image. He has posted a new interview online. He allowed Ruby Carat of Cold Fusion Now to do a youtube video at what is called his Miami Beach office. As you see the office looks suspiciously like Rossi’s home. It appears that Rossi like a lot of us chooses to work from home.
It should also be noted that by using a home office Rossi can write off part of his home in his taxes in the US. So it makes pretty good business sense. Hopefully Rossi will take some steps to mend fences before it is too late. The last thing he needs is another true believer turned Skeptic attacking him.
he is more evasive than any poilitician!
I thinka i a know how eet works.
And i will letta you know very shortly!
!
A factory that does not exist?
A device that LOLOLOLOl that does not exist?
A guy that keeps talking about a “better non existant device that
could be improved upon should it ever exist?”
I sold a device to a person who does not exist?
I WORK WITH NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
I WORK WITH SIEMENS
I TALKED WITH NASA
YADA YADA TO the nth power
AND I STILL HAVE NO DEVICE!
LAUGH WITH ME!!!!
LOLOLOLOLOOL
If sterling allen starts he doesn’t believe you, that means that you are in trouble. He believes in anybody’s claims no matter how ridiculous..
If you can’t fool the ultimat fool?
We have no idea what was said to the investigators.
With lack of uranium I am sure they were more concerned in how much sugar was in their morning coffee. I am sure attempting or even doing cold fusion is way down on their terrorist watch list.
Could you imagine the embarrassment they would face arresting a professor mixing Nickel and Hydrogen. Even if they understood LENR completely and understood a weak nuclear reaction was involved, do you really think it would set off alarm bells?
I am sure Andrea Rossi explained exactly what he was doing, and they probably walked away going “cold fusion, Okay Dokay”…
We know LENR is real and confirmed and accepted worldwide (if you argue this you need an updated education). We know LENR is associated with low Gamma radiation as the Gamma rays mx with heavy electrons and convert to infra red. We know at least 16 entities are claiming to have replicated Ni-H version of LENR. We know Rossi has been rich a few times and chose to hire lawyers and fight his accusers instead of flee.
I cannot fathom a scam scenario. I think Andrea Rossi is on the wrong track to bring this technology to the people. I think someone else will bring forth something stable, and Rossi will be left claiming he was there first with no way to prove it. Where is Piantelli in all this?
Anyways…. Let’s hope someone proves it this decade.
Peswiki and PESN have gone rogue, Sterling came back from a visit to Defkalion and did a complete 360 against Rossi. Since Sterling was a witness to Rossi’s 1MW test and gave it the thumbs up, I can only wonder which one of Sterlings contradicting statements is the lie.
Now if you say anything on his site which questions his ethics or suggests that Rossi is not the devil incarnate, your comment is rewritten into an anti-Rossi Statement.
I posted another statement saying that the first rewrite was a misrepresentation and it was deleted for being offensive. If saying you are being misrepresented by someone reversing your position without authorization is offensive then I have no word suited for the description of what that misrepresentation is.
In my opinion nothing from that site can be trusted any longer. There is clearly an agenda, a lack of ethics and probably the last ditch efforts of a desperate man poisoning that well.
I used to have such respect for that site and it’s authors, this betrayal of trust by them hurts me to the core.
Shun them!
Not a “360″, but a “180″, Joe.
I have a lot of respect for what Sterling Allen is doing, generally speaking, but if you review all the circumstances, you’ll see that this shoe was waiting to drop, and that Allen’s disparaging remarks about Rossi are based as much or more on personal bad feelings than on any dispassionate analysis of the results of the Florida Radiation Inspection report. His analysis of that report is not noteworthy for its objectivity.
There is a position between uncritical acceptance and absolute denial. It is simply a skeptical “show me” attitude which says that without independent verification I will make no comment. We can speculate on Rossi all we want. I personally think Rossi is a victim of self deception but that does not matter. My opinion could be wiped out in a moment if more information were available. Witholding judgement until convincing proof is demonstrated is the only path toward truth.
No radioactivity, no fusion. There are no factories filled with robots waiting to build thousands of cold fusion devices, no devices for sale, no commercial models to test, nothing but paper and press releases.
There is a shipping container of parts sitting in the back of a warehouse where it’s always been and Rossi’s verbal sleight of hand. That’s all there is.
What evidence do you have that that’s the case?
I too have my misgivings about Rossi as the weeks and months have gone by without any proof or real progress. However he has conducted the live tests of his apparatus, which have been witnessed by credible academics like Prof Focardi and Levi. I realize it is quite a large undertaking for one man, to build a new industry from the ground up, and also that obtaining permits and licenses for a new domestic energy device takes time. I have not heard anybody claim that he has stolen their money. On balance I still give him the benefit of the doubt. By this autumn or early next spring at the latest he will either have to put up or shut up
“BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT”!
What, while he carries on taking money from the educationally challenged?
Rossi and Defkalion are running a multi-level Ponzi scam with tentacles extending all over the globe.
Good luck with getting any of your money back dudes, it has all gone down the organisers trousers.
What a mound of festering excrement.
What a LOAD OF OLD BOLLOCKS.
All we hear is he said he claims. One simple test with very simple,measurements, and all the bull shit will stop. Rossi
Just crank out a real test if you can. Otherwise I have to go with the skeptics.
I agree with you on this. Rossi needs to do some simple tests like his friends at Defkalion are doing. I have to wonder why he doesn’t want to submit to them.
Narcissistic pridefulness!!!
Hi there, after reading this amazing paragraph i am as well delighted to share my know-how here with mates.
