I have an undergrad degree in computer science. But my background is irrelevant. How about your academic research or science background?
Is that what they teach you where you're from?
Brilliant sarcasm?
No, I'm genuinely curious. Where do they teach people that things come true if you only believe in them hard enough? The School of Kevin Trudeau?
Here's another more likely explanation of the phenomenon:

The mods should lock this thread for your own good!
Andrea Rossi is a convicted white-collar criminal with a string of failed energy ventures. (Report #5: Rossi's Profitable Career in Science) His most notorious endeavor was his effort between 1970 and 1990 to turn industrial waste into fuel. Rossi's company produced nothing but toxic waste and environmental damage to the land and groundwater in the Milan, Italy, area. (Rossi's Italian Financial and Environmental Criminal History)
In 2007, Rossi began trying to use and commercialize the low-energy nuclear research of Francesco Piantelli, a retired Italian biophysicist. Piantelli began his LENR research in 1989, when he observed something unusual taking place in one of his experiments. Initially, Piantelli didn't pay close attention to it. But after he saw the Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons "cold fusion" announcement, he looked more closely at his own work. Piantelli found that his device, too, was producing anomalous excess heat and nuclear effects. But Piantelli was working with nickel and hydrogen gas, a very different configuration from Fleischmann-Pons. (Piantelli Group Documents)
Piantelli also knew that the idea of room-temperature fusion was highly unlikely. More significantly, he was working with a hydrogen system rather than a deuterium system; therefore, the idea of fusion was not even a consideration for him. (See 2008 and 2010 ACS presentations here Publications and Presentations)
For many years, Piantelli worked with his colleague Sergio Focardi in LENR research. Both men have legitimate academic credentials and scientific backgrounds. Together, they have a long history of credible LENR research, some of which published in peer-reviewed journals. The pair never got fully reproducible or practical results. (Overview of H-Ni Systems: Old Experiments and New Setup)
I met Piantelli and interviewed him in his private lab in 2007. Both he and Focardi were retired by then. I wrote two articles about their work the following year. Right around that time, Rossi approached Piantelli and asked to work with him. Meanwhile several Americans, began asking for my assistance to make contact with Piantelli.
Piantelli declined Rossi's offer to collaborate. Rossi approached Focardi, who had given up research at the time and was eager for a second chance.
...
There is no hard evidence of any research the two performed together. According to Focardi, he and Rossi performed their first experiment on Oct. 16, 2007. However, Focardi's photograph of that event shows a date stamp of Jan. 30, 2011.
For anyone who didn't click the link, who thinks there's anything more than a 0.01% chance that the OP is correct, that link should take care of it.
There's more...
Trying to convince Adlep that it's a hoax. I just can't figure out if he's posting this stuff to troll, or if he genuinely believes it. But, if we save just one person from sending any money to Rossi, we will have made a positive difference in the world.Why are we still talking about this years later.
These jokers should get together with the folks at blacklight power. Then they can have an imaginary source of imaginary power that violates all of the laws of thermodynamics at the same time.

The reason that isn't happening isn't some commercial concern, it is due to the fact that it is a scam. Hell, he could reach an agreement with a MIT professor, where the professor helps him determine the nature of the reaction and Rossi patents it. Boom, commercial problem solved and he is a millionaire.
Some part of this needs to turn out to be another grand experiment set up by James Randi.Trying to convince Adlep that it's a hoax.

not to feed the FUD or anything (your assertion of scammery is 100% correct, of course), but it is not true that Rossi would be able to patent this in that case.
With an MIT professor's involvement, the patent would more than likely belong to MIT. And I'm not sure if policy is the same in Bologna or in all of Italy, but the institution tends to own the patents of any discoveries.
I read the conclusion of the paper posted by op. It suggests evidence of an energy source greater than any conventional method.
I read that as: "YAAAAAAAAAAAY I can read to 7!!!!!!"
Perhaps you should learn to read then. Don't get circlejerky and shit. Not agreeing or disagreeing to the paper, just thought it was interesting. lol
And yet it was still less than or equal to 9000.I read the conclusion of the paper posted by op. It suggests evidence of an energy source greater than any conventional method.
