Recently, people have been talking about Andrea Rossis reactor that operated for 350 days and produced six times more energy than it consumed. Is it a scam or can we talk about a breakthrough technology here?

Yes! Or rather, NO! Have a read to get you up to speed. E-Cat is only his latest and most successful long-running scam. In his first one he convinced people that he could convert toxic waste into oil (sound familiar?)

http://newenergytimes.com/v2/sr/RossiECat/Andrea-Rossi-Energy-Catalyzer-Investigation-Index.shtml

"More than 100 Italian newspaper articles have published the facts of Rossi's Italian financial and environmental criminal history. After Rossi was released from prison, he began another energy scam, this time convincing the U.S. Army that he could develop thermoelectric devices that had record-breaking efficiency. After the Army funded Rossi, to its dismay, it learned that the devices Rossi promised would provide an output of 800 Watts each produced only 1 Watt."

And hey, that's the New Energy Times which actually believes in "low energy nuclear reactions".

https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/08/accumulated-evidence-that-rossi-e-cat-was-fraud.html

"Krivits indicates that Rossis first trick was simple: He dumped hot water down a hole in the wall. Through carefully conceived methods of distraction, obfuscation, and lies about power measurements, he convinced the four professors who didnt know the kind of man they were up against to take him at his word that all the water had been turned into steam."

Again, this is coming from true believers. Believers... Three generations of Tesla groupies still haven't made one contribution. Here is why another three generations of cold fusion believers should quit now. Oh I can hear the cookie-cutter responses now... No imagination, where would we be if..., they said XXX was wrong, brainwashed by the establishment, blah blah blah... but these are all just mouth-noises a scammer makes when he sees his livelihood threatened. Nobody with access to this sort of technology, if it worked, would be dumpster-diving in a place like this. One real proper demonstration, which should be trivial, and they'd have billions shoved down their throats.

Dear AtomicNixon,
What you have written has nothing to do with LENR or science. Scientists dont care about the personality of Rossi, his previous deeds. There is no need to believe, as you can check for your own. As we did.
Check Parkhomovs replications.
And check Lugano report:
https://synthestech.com/LuganoReport.pdf
Try to criticize these facts.

Why? Why would I duplicate the efforts of so many much more knowledgeable than I? You'll find all those in the links I provided, and many many more if you can figure out this google thing. You might want to add up both sides of that reaction equation and tell us all how the difference did not become gamma radiation. Following that I'd love an explanation of how you change the binding energy in an atom. See, that's your job... this right here, this is YOUR job. Mine is elsewhere and I'm a busy man.

You are also forgetting, that it wasn't Rossi, who invented Ni+H reaction, it was Focardi. Try to criticize him.
I saw your links, there is nothing interesting there and too many facts are misquoted and made up.
About One real proper demonstration, Rossi had at least two: Lugano and 1 year Industrial Heat report.
About Three generations: Thermonuclear fusion technology has been developed for 60 years without any results, it already costs hundreds of billions. But there are still believers

Convenient isn't it, to be able to put words in a dead man's mouth. Thermonuclear fusion has been making steady progress for the last 60 years and is a challenge so difficult that nobody with a realistic understanding of the problem expects it to be solved in the next forty. It is also irrelevant in this context.

In 70s scientist used to say it is 10 years ahead, in 80s they said it is 20 years ahead, since 2000 they are saying it is in 40 years
Then why would people spend billion while solar power according to calculations is already more convenient and cheap?
If you add the research spendings for thermonuclear fusion, it will clearly be the most useless and expensive source of energy. Read this: http://www.debatingeurope.eu/2011/08/31/is-nuclear-fusion-a-dead-end/#.WmCvxd9l-Uk
The main problem of Tokamak concept is that it is a dead end. It is obvious, but I see one believer
