Rossi's Cold Fusion One-Megawatt Reactor

[MileHigh]

I am not really following this one but perhaps some are.

Wasn't he supposed to have a functioning 1-MWatt demonstration reactor up and running by the end of this year?  Blink and the year will be half over.

Is there any news?  Is there an engineering team to design the reactor?  Is there an architectural team to design some kind of building for it?  Is there a construction team and have they broken ground?  Is there an administrative and purchasing team to finance and direct the project?

If you are putting up a 1-MWatt cold fusion reactor there must be some news by now about the progress they are making.

The news seems good.

Sure, very good. One can't be completely happy with Rossi's device because it produces only heat and would work according to E=M*C² (probably there will be no need of new fundamental physics even though cold fusion is still very controversial), nevertheless it seems to be the first real "almost free energy" working device (may be with that of Randell Mills). There is still a possibility of scam but very little.

A possible explanation here:

And from what I read elsewhere on usenet forums, the quantity of released energy is on an order compatible with the mass default of the Ni=>Cu reaction.
