Couldn't get the search function to work....Anyone aware of this latest "cold fusion" device:

Apparently an initial report on the technology was rather quickly attacked, but this latest iteration is claimed to have been "verified" by a number of outside researchers.

There's a huge thread on this, including discussion of the recent "verification". Cold fusion claims. http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198040&page=94

I read up on Rossi years ago when I had a course with a prof who was into just about every crazy free energy scheme and CT you can imagine. Yes, AGW denial too. Sad, because he was a physics prof who had actually worked with Feynman and Teller as a grad student, or so I was told. I came to the conclusion that Andrea Rossi is not a serious physicist but just seeking attention.

Aside from that bit of ad hominem, it is highly unlikely (read: impossible) that anyone will ever come up with a free energy or perpetual motion device. Little obstacles like physical laws get in the way.

...but this latest iteration is claimed to have been "verified" by a number of outside researchers.

Let's interview these "researchers" under oath, then using sodium pentathol. Then perform the experiment again with hand picked investigators witnessing the equipment setup.

I'm incredibly disappointed that this isn't about online cats.

Well, they do have the distinct advantage of actually existing!

Well, he might be. Or he might not. We won't know until someone turns on the computer.

More like I simultaneously am and am not until someone turns on the computer.

Like the creators of this device, I have nothing useful to contribute; just wanted to see I like your avatar.

Actually, I do know. I'm behind the curtain. Shhh.
