This entire episode leaves me with a sour taste within my mouth. Perhaps it is time to take a rest from researching LENR until matters improve. So much hope dashed!

No can do. He invited me to a test. I said I would bring a thermometer. * He told me I would not be allowed to do that. So I never went. It does not take a master magician to fool people when you do not allow them to do elementary confirmations of your claims. However, Rossi did not fool people as much as you might think. He did not begin to fool the people from NASA. The people at I.H. were on to him long before the 1-year test began, as you see in the case file depositions. Rossi and his supporters claim that I.H. suddenly refused to pay after the test ended, and they were supportive before that. I know for a fact that is not true. They complained about him long before that. - Jed * I was also planning to bring a liter graduated cylinder and some other tools to confirm the calorimetry. Rossi refused to allow independent measures of any parameter, so that was that. The late Jim Patterson also tried to stop me from measuring the flow rate and temperature. I never trusted him again. He changed his mind and agreed to let me do it. Then he distributed my report without permission in his PR package! A class act.
