This is part of a message I posted in another forum, worth recalling here --
. . . . I mentioned that Fleischmann et al. sustained high power density and temperatures for 2 to 3 months with many cells. There were others. Most notably, I should have said that Focardi et al. did. That's very important, since they were using Ni-H, similar to Rossi. See: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/CampariEGphotonandp.pdf (Oops. I have to fix the Fig. 6 caption in this paper.) As you see, there are 9 authors from two universities. This was published in 2004. This paper shows two samples: one that produced 900 MJ in 278 days, and one that produced 600 MJ in 319 days. The first one is 37 W average. That's a respectable power level for such a small device. Nothing like Rossi, but still, it is easily measured. . . . There is plenty of precedent for Rossi. The people he is working with have seen similar effects for years with nickel. They were using macroscopic samples, whereas Rossi is using nanoparticle powder. Arata made a similar breakthrough with palladium nanopowder long before Rossi. Unless you think these 9 professors and many others are committing fraud as well, there is no reason to suppose that Rossi is now. They are doing more-or-less the same thing, and from a scientific perspective, 900 MJ over 278 days is just as astounding as the 1,000 MJ in 18 hours Rossi produced on Feb. 10. - Jed
