well i guess i would rather believe a talking horse...
let's get real apples never fall upwards.
i guess, no i strongly believe that time will tell us it was a bluff.
is it really that easy pulling money out of peoples wallets? (yes, it ever was, think of the beggars prince from persia).
really, lets get real, if there is or would be such a technology our dinosaurus's of companies would have layed ther hands on it.
to explain, NPP's and especially in switzerland the North East Swiss Power Plants community (NOK) have layed back a lot of money for future technologies, just in case something new is coming up. the amount is many 10Billions by now...
...now start thinking...
i know some would argue that they are lame when it comes to revolutionary technologies, true and not true.
they like to make business even tomorrow and after tomorrow.
i have book to read for yours "the man who sold the eiffel tower"
I'm a bit skeptic too with Focardi-Rossi device.. but while searching on the net I found some interesting details: rumors says that even U.S D.O.D has tested the device and a worldwide announcement is "only" few months from now.
Unfortunately, every free-energy-breakthrough-physics device is, as you say, always tomorrow, in fact, the "imminent" commercialization of the Steorn EM drive was in 2007 but today we're at the same point.
there is only one proof for those devices: plug some load in it and let me see if works: no matter what, a fridge, a car, a mobile phone, whatever.
Anyway, I still believe ASPS.
The inventor of NNP has been studying his device since early 80s (proven fact), then in mid 90s he moved from Mechanical NNP to Electromagnetic NNP. Only in 2005 he managed to obtain fundings for his invention.
He never tried to sell it to common people like "here's the keys, take your starship and fly to Mars!" but he was searching for industrial partner.
When he found an investor he stopped almost all announcements and now he's dedicating to improve the thrust of his device, only revealing that "I'll show it to the mass only when it'll fly".. quite strange, a 30 years long fraud

As far as I can tell they offer no real evidence or a real explanation (citing pending patents), then finish off with asking for donations at the bottom of the linked webpage.
Wait, that's not their official page, it's an independent website.

Their official page is here:

They says that their investors (they claim they're from a big international industry) were attending the demonstration, and some independent professors from the University of Bologna were there to assure the "fair play" of the experiment.
One of them used an instrument brought by himself wich has measured a gamma ray burst in the device.
Anyway they were disappointed when Rossi told them they can't look inside the device because there's a patent pending.
