The reporter is not scientist and not an engineer; he has done a good job- you see this if you read his previous two papers (links in this one) It is possible that in this system local thermal runaways take place and nickel melts in some places. The skeptics will not buy these generators and will burn their own bovine based dried biofuels in their stoves. Not the skeptics are/is the problem, but reproducibility of all the other systems. Being a friend of Piantelli, I have some doubts re Rossi but his merits have to be recognized. Using logical fallacies- everything can be demonstrated or on the contrary, infirmed. Let's wait for the facts. Cold Fusion is far from being a prosperous field. These Ni-H guys know the key of systems that work.
