THIN HOPES FOR FAT E-CATS

 Planning and organizing research is an important part of  the Management of  Technology. Obviously, there can be surprises (statistically 80% bad and 20% good- Pareto is ubiquitous) but too many changes are confusing and destructive.

For example, Rossi’s final and total demo:

http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2011/08/anticipating-1mw-demo.html  was always conceived in the spirit of technological collectivism- a great group of E-cats bound together- first 100 than

a terrific 330 and now 52 fat cats quite neatly arranged in a great metal box. What’s the logic of this variations? Paraphrasing Shakespeare- “Though this be research, there is NO method in it.”

Why we had seen (including the recent “self-sustaining” experiment) only partial, fractionar, unfinished, incomplete –experiments, done and undone in the same time?

What is the logic of the idea that a collective of E-cats will give more reliable results than individual E-cats?  Perhaps  this is true.

I cannot avoid he idea that the best musical illustration of the situation of the E-cats and their creator is this:

The name of this opus in Italian;”L’apprendista stregone” sounds very discouraging. There are 44 days left till the promised demonstration. Dum spiro, spero ?!
