The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.

Rossi's contraption does consume hydrogen, though. The recent article you posted elsewhere said there was a hydrogen tank connected to the apparatus.
As I recall, in demonstrating it, they let some H2 in, then they valved off the tank and removed it. I don't see how that part of it could be faked. That's the first thing anyone would be looking at, I would think.

His contraption only produces a few kilowatts of power.
There have been runs where it was producing 15 or 18 kw (or something like that), for many hours continuously. If you watch the video, it was mentioned that one time they had to shut it down as it was making too much power or becoming unstable or something. Also, I think it's mentioned in the video that a unit has produced an estimated peak power of 120 kw.

I should just tweak a couple resistors in my multimeter and turn my desk lamp into a magical energy summoning machine. my favorite bit was for the bedini device, for which was claimed, that space time is warped between the battery terminals, and that is why it need not follow the laws of physics.

I would like to see his device reconfigured into a simple "immersion heater". Then, it would seem to be an easy matter to get two identical, insulated containers, filled with the same amount of water at the same initial temperature, put his device in one container and put a standard immersion heater in the other, adjust the voltage with a variac until each device shows the same power input, and then simply measure the time to reach a certain temperature, e.g., the boiling point.
Since his device supposedly produces at least an order of magnitude more power out than what's put in, nobody should quibble too much over any experimental details that might limit the accuracy a little bit.
Edit:
When I look at the youtube video that Coronafix linked to...I dunno, there's just something about his body language that rubs me the wrong way. Nothing I can put my finger on specifically...he just comes across like some of the used car salesmen that I've dealt with over the years...that tried to rip me off.

The latest research by NASA seems to suggest that a doped nickel lattice loaded with hydrogen and vibrated at frequencies between 5 and 30 THz generates measurable excess heat. The tricky part is generating the precise frequencies needed but using superconducting Josephon junctions could be a workaround.
One major problem with this approach is keeping the high and low temperature parts of the system separate but conducting the THz radiation into the lattice efficiently. Perhaps using silicon carbide would work?

It just seems like if anything Rossi said was even close to being right and demonstrable, he would be richer than Bill Gates by now, and coal executives would be leaping out of skyscraper windows as if it was 1929.

Anybody following this "energy catalyzer" invention thing?
