My experience is that the devil is in the details and the demise of the devil 
is the job of the instruments and they are not cheap.

I think the MFMP understands that and my hope is that they guess the ones that 
will get the devil out. 

That being said I hope that they have two or three coincident gamma counters 
lined up to detect back to back gammas from possible positron-electron 
reactions, with a Na-22 source to calibrate the signal they may see. 

A coil to create a varying ambient magnetic field around the reactor would also 
be nice to evaluate if there any changes  in a reaction associated with the 
magnetic field.  Maybe that is another test.

What I remember Rossi said was that he would release the report when his legal

with the release than mere legalities.  And there may be some legalities as 
well as contractual issues to consider over an above legalities, that have to 
do with the apparent contractual mutual control of the report from the 
oversight group.

For example, as the suit progresses Rossi may want to introduce the report as 
evidence with the blessing of the court, without objection from IH.  It may be 
that if IH would not agree with the introduction of the report during the court 
proceedings that would look bad to the Jury hearing the case and be a plus for 
Rossi.  If as he has suggested the report is favorable, and it its introduced

Dave, 

My point is not a strong one.  It is largely a comment to the effect that there 
are many unknowns, and the relationship between amount of fuel and the heat 
that is produced in a LENR system may not be straightforward.  To answer your 
questions, suppose that for a given current (100 mA, say) there is a minimally 
sufficient amount of fuel to get excess heat, e.g., 1g active fuel.  Any amount 
of fuel above this threshold will not contribute further without a higher 
current, and any amount below this threshold will decrease the excess heat 
seen.  Within these parameters one can still postulate excess heat as a 
function of temperature, which provides a second variable.  If the temperature 
is high, because there is good insulation, or we're using resistance heaters, 
that will multiply the excess heat in our thought experiment.

My point is only to highlight an assumption that I thought worth exploring -- 
that there is a simple relationship between the amount of fuel in a LENR system 
and the amount of excess heat that is developed.  I am not aware of an 
experiment in which any relationship, consistent with your suggestion or 
otherwise, is clearly shown.

2016-04-11 Thread Bob Cook
Eric and Dave--

I have thought that there may be other controlling parameters, such as pressure 
affecting volatility of Li and potentially other fuel constituents, or magnetic 
field which enhances with INCREASING  temperature by the resultant 
establishment of SSP’s.  I think there are many parameters that may effect the 
rate of the LENR, not only temperature.  Resonant conditions may also play a 
role with with the speed of sound in the internals being an important 
parameter.  

Since we do not understand the mechanism occurring, its hard to guess the 
runaway mechanism.  In a nuclear fission reactor runaway is not temperature 
dependent.  It is a very fast reaction caused by an over abundance of fast 
neutrons that increase their population exponentially with time.  Of course in 
thermo-nuclear reactions temperature is the culprit.

It does seem that the LENR runaways happen pretty fast.  I do  not believe I 
have ever seen a time constant reported however.  Such a time constant may shed 
light on the LENR mechanism however.  

Finally, anharmonic mechanisms will make understanding even harder, but they 
may be a cause as well.

Guys, lets hope that the radiation does not escape the system if we ever want 
to see any of these units become adopted in large numbers.  Be careful what you 
hope for!  I would be far more satisfied to find that the original measurement 
was not accurate.

If this radiation signal is for real, can the energy be confined to within a 
well shielded device?  I have not followed the testing too closely, but I tend 
to recoil at the mention of gamma radiation.

Eric,
 
I agree that there are many unknowns with respect to these devices that need to 
be researched.   But I do think that there are thought experiments that can be 
conducted which reveal general tendencies that we should not be afraid to 
attempt.  Carefully applied logic is a powerful tool that must not be 
overlooked.

You would make a good defense lawyer, always seeking that special explanation 
as to why your client is innocent.  I tend to focus on the more likely scenario 
instead but sometimes miss the special cases that arise.

I developed my technique by solving difficult problems in real world electronic 
designs.  To save time I always began by eliminating the quick and easy to 
perform tests and then progressively worked towards the most difficult and time 
consuming concepts.  I suppose I am guilty of using that same principle in my 
LENR thermal modeling processes.

You can bet that if the added fuel concept does not result in an increase to 
the system output temperature and thus power that I will backtrack quickly 
toward other ideas.  My beginning assumption is that more fuel yields higher 
COP provided the geometry remains constant since that seems more likely.

Jed, how would you know that he can publish the report without a release?  Have 
you seen any documentation to that effect?  I do not have a clue about any 
agreement that may be in force.

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

2016-04-11 Thread David Roberson

Eric, the fuel is strongly activated by its temperature.  How else would one 
explain the thermal run away processes that have been a problem with these 
systems forever?  If the outside temperature does not increase by adding more 
fuel to the chamber then you are assuming that no additional heat will be 
developed within the newly added material when it is subjected to the fixed 
temperature and current that initially exists.
 
So, what would you expect to happen if the fuel is reduced by a factor of 2 at 
that initial temperature?  Apparently you are speculating that the temperature 
remains the same.  And in the extreme case, what happens when you take out all 
of the fuel?  The bottom line is that some function must define the behavior as 
the fuel load is varied, hence the COP must vary along with that function.

The only example that I can believe which fits the sensibility test is that COP 
is going to change at least in a linear manner with increased fuel loading as 
long as the system geometry remains the same.  I am leaving out the interaction 
of positive thermal feedback which will likely enhance the COP as fuel is added 
to an initially constant temperature chamber to simplify the example.

Consider another problem with the concept that the current is the driving 
factor instead of temperature.  Why would the device require such high 
temperatures in order to generate energy?  It is not clear that the current 
itself is important except for the heat that is associated with that current 
flowing through the resistive windings.  In any case I would be extremely 
confused to find that the temperature of the device surface would not vary as 
the amount of fuel is changed.  No one has ever suggested this effect AFAIK 
unless of course that there is no LENR present.  But the assumption is a COP of 
1.5 at the beginning of the fuel adjustment phase.

Are you aware of any experiment that has demonstrated what you are proposing?

Not, it seems, to me, if the LENR activity is directly proportional to the

Jed--

What I remember Rossi said was that he would release the report when his legal 
advisors said it was ok.  His legal advisors may have other issues associated 
with the release than mere legalities.  And there may be some legalities as 
well as contractual issues to consider over an above legalities, that have to 
do with the apparent contractual mutual control of the report from the 
oversight group.

For example, as the suit progresses Rossi may want to introduce the report as 
evidence with the blessing of the court, without objection from IH.  It may be 
that if IH would not agree with the introduction of the report during the court 
proceedings that would look bad to the Jury hearing the case and be a plus for 
Rossi.  If as he has suggested the report is favorable, and it its introduced 
to the court, it is also a plus for  Rossi in the Jury’s eyes.  

Lawyers worry about these type of things for good reason.

RE: [Vo]: MFMP GS5.3 - a replication

2016-04-11 Thread Jones Beene
From: Bob Higgins 

 

Jones, can you elaborate on Holmlid's call for replication?

 

He (Ólafsson) did not suggest anything specific, but it will be helpful when/if 
someone starts a dedicated site (or subsite addition) for experimenters to use 
specifically for the Holmlid effect, since there are a number of approaches to 
either Holmlid or desktop ICF which can be included under the same umbrella – 
which is a far cry cost-wise from what is practiced for ICF by the big labs. 
Jack Cole or Alain could be interested in branching out this way - or MFMP. It 
is a bit surprising that replication attempts have not been forthcoming. 

 

The difficult part is verifying muons – but that can come later if any evidence 
of excess heat turns up. Hopefully MFMP will consider radiation testing for 
devices of others - using the same sophisticated equipment which Alan Goldwater 
is using … at least for any experiment in Silicon Valley which can be moved to 
another location.

 

There are a number of ways to proceed with a hybrid of the Holmlid laser 
technique combined with something else, such as the obvious addition of low 
powered laser irradiation to the glow-tube (as in Letts-Cravens) or as a 
complete substitute heat source - so that resistance wire can be ditched. The 
Letts-Cravens effect combines electrolysis with low powered lasers and magnets. 
AFAIK this is the only experiment which EarthTech in Austin has said was found 
to be gainful by them, including lots of failed Pd-D failed trials over the 
years, which did not employ a laser. The big benefit is moderate overall 
temperature.

 

My recent approach to a hybrid setup is to use semi-coherent (monochromatic) 
photons as the light source – with which to irradiate a translucent cell. This 
could work with a glow tube if it was translucent. A laser is more efficient 
for incandescent photons from Kanthal wire but both a 20 times less efficient 
than sodium vapor. This should work at low temperature, assuming SPP can be 
produced by the photons. This approach is low budget and is almost ready for 
testing.

 

In terms of economics, a low pressure sodium vapor light source, 
ultra-efficient at 15 watts - costing about 1,000 times less than a laser for 
equal number of photons – has the obvious drawback of lack of full coherency. 
It could be that the Holmlid effect demands full coherency but SPP do not 
demand it. That is the goal and advancement which could come out of a simple 
test - to see if focused monochromatic light (same wavelength at the YAG, in 
the yellow-green) will make SPPs as well as laser light. 

 

Note – Holmlid was not aware of an SPP modality, when asked about this last 
year, but one thing he does better than any other scientist I know of - is to 
evolve based on collaboration. Not many top scientists have controlled their 
ego so as to have so many talented collaborators as LH --- and now it looks 
like Ólafsson is the heir apparent, so I hope he continues the tradition.

[Vo]: MFMP GS5.3 - a replication

2016-04-11 Thread Bob Higgins
Alan Goldwater, Bob Greenyer, Skip Reynolds, and Mark Jurich (hope I didn't
miss anyone there) have begun a replication of the GS5.2 experiment, deftly
named GS5.3.  The experiment is in the early phases of heat treatment of
the Ni powder I believe.  The live video feed links can be found at:

http://www.e-catworld.com/2016/04/11/mfmp-team-starts-new-live-glowstick-experiment/

Admittedly, at this stage it it as exciting as watching paint dry.  We are
all hoping for a repeat performance of the "signal", the gamma burst
output.  In GS5.3, the team is much better prepared to monitor the
radiations.  Time bases for all of the data acquistions have been carefully
synchronized.  Amptek has generously loaned MFMP an X-123 CdTe x-ray
spectrometer capable of about 6keV to 80keV measurement.  Mark Jurich has
borrowed an x-ray scintillator system from SLAC to monitor.  The GM
detector has been upgraded to a sensitive 2" pancake detector.  I believe
they also have the Optris camera running.  If the signal pixie makes an
appearance, it will definitely be in the limelight.

The experiment will be running continuously for several days to come.  It
takes a team to monitor such an experiment over so long a period.

Jones, can you elaborate on Holmlid's call for replication?

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

2016-04-11 Thread David Roberson
Jones,

I can not get into the mind of Rossi or Darden for that matter and understand 
exactly why we are seeing such an unpleasant circumstance.  We would all rather 
see the issue resolved and LENR advanced but this is what we have to deal with.

There have been many occasions when I would have liked to grab Rossi by the 
shoulders and insist that he give us direct answers to the many questions that 
arise, but this is not possible.  He has been difficult to read as everyone 
realizes.  That is part of the nature of creative individuals in many cases.

I have made many attempts to read between the lines in an effort to better 
understand the current situation and have come up empty.  I have a great deal 
of respect for Darden  and feel that he is sincere, but I realize that he is a 
venture capitalist and making money is one of his prime objectives.  Could he 
be using the tools at his disposal for this purpose?

So, it remains important for us to keep an open mind until the dust settles 
before any accurate conclusions can be drawn.  The ERV should help us to decide 
what is true and before that report is released I am going to stand by.  At 
this point all I can do is to understand the basic principles of operation for 
these types of devices and assume that Rossi is not totally faking his claims.

As I have pointed out, if we accept that a COP of 1.5 is real, then there 
should be virtually no limitation to the level that can be achieved with proper 
design.  This is not the same as stating that a practical level of output power 
at that high level of COP can be obtained.  The amount of fuel might become 
uneconomical at some point, or the size of the device could become excessive, 
etc.

I sincerely hope that Rossi is giving us the honest facts, but that is not 
adequately proven so far.  Until that time I remain hopefully optimistic.  You 
appear to be more skeptical than most guys on the vortex.  I hope that one day 
soon we will all reach a consensus.  The world needs LENR so badly.

Dave

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

2016-04-11 Thread David Roberson
Yes Jones, but I have always maintained the fact that COP can be raised 
whenever the beginning point is greater than 1.  I do not agree that it has a 
limitation as long as the geometry can be adjusted.

For example.  take a design that has a fixed surface area and volume with a 
measured amount of fuel contained within.  If you agree that this design can 
deliver a COP of 1.5 then you must agree that the outer surface temperature can 
be determined to be at some level, when a certain input power is applied.

Now, if you double the amount of fuel contained within the volume you can be 
quite certain that the outside temperature will increase, correct?  The new 
quantity of fuel just added must put out additional heat once it is subjected 
to the original internal temperature.  Any new heat exiting the device adds to 
the original quantity that was used to calculate the original COP.

This is very simple to understand and I do not see any explanation that can be 
used to deny that the COP should nearly double in the new example.  The same 
general type of arguement can be applied by the addition of insulation.

In both cases above the input power can remain the same while the output power 
varies depending upon the amount of fuel that is inserted within the fixed 
volume.  In a like manner the COP can be reduced to 1 by removing all of the 
fuel.  It works both ways.

Can you point out why this would not work as I have described?  A simple 
example would suffice.

Dave

It is wrong to say Rossi have a pattern of fraud. He is cleared of that in 
court…

Alain – Not so fast. 
Answer me this, even Rossi has NEVER said he was cleared of all of the many 
felonies he served time for in Italy – only the one from Petroldragon. Most 
were for Tax evasion, but is that OK?

And at best - your argument is with Gary Wright and other skeptics in Italy who 
claim to have checked with Italian authorities on Rossi’s claim that he had the 
prior convictions overturned. Have you actually seen the paper work from Italy 
to verify your claim that he was cleared? They say he was not cleared.

That could be yet another of Rossi’s lies. Of course, you can say that Wright 
or the other skeptics are also lying - but their claims are now looking more 
realistic, now that Industrial Heat says Rossi is lying - and that IH witnessed 
no overunity. As you know IH is credible, even if Rossi and his critics are not.

Aren’t you overlooking that the other felonies, at the very least?

If you accept that Rossi can achieve a COP of 1.5 then you must realize that 
adding insulation can be used to increase that number to any desired level. 

 

Not true at all, Dave 

 

The COP of 1.5 requires good insulation to begin with. We have been thought 
this before, if you will remember. 

 

Achieving net gain requires a trigger, but every experimenter in the field has 
noted that a thermal trigger is no sufficient. Look at the old posts. An 
electrical trigger of some kind is also necessary, otherwise – the units could 
be linked in stages. There are dozens of posts in the archive on this – some 
from you, IIRC.

 



[Vo]:Re: Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

2016-04-11 Thread Bob Cook
Dave--

I would agree with that assessment. 

All Rossi had to do in the contract was to produce 100 C steam or hotter.  Some 
insulation and a slight pressure above atmospheric would achieve that.  
Assuming the control system did not take to much power and the system was self 
sustaining with no extra input energy other than that needed for control, the 
COP could go up significantly.  The controlling parameter may be the pressure 
inside the reactor as has been suggested in several Ni-H reactors that produced 
excess power as being important, since it effects the volatility of fuel.  Such 
a control scheme would take little power.

Thanks Dave.  I would love to see a solid report.  I still have no alternative 
explanation for some of the early results I saw in my own experiments, but the 
lack of reproducibility makes me suspect that I missed some unknown error.
I just have trouble believing that Rossi would send a lawsuit to IH rather than 
even one of his old supposedly working 10KW units if he had anything that 
worked reliably!  I think 100M dollars is worth a week in NC demonstrating to 
anyone at IH how to make it work.  
Jack,
Good post and let me fill in a few of the gaps, since the devil is in the 
details and the scam becomes crystal clear when all the details are all 
presented together. 
First - There is no doubt in my mind that Rossi can show anomalous thermal 
gain. It has been done with Ni-H for 25 years, starting with Piantelli and 
Thermacore.
Second – This disagreement is not just about showing an energy anomaly – and 
making it run reliably. To get the 100 million, according to the contract, 
Rossi has to demonstrate an astounding COP of 6. That has never been done 
reliably and would be the breakthrough, if true.
All of us who have been around this field are convinced, that with a properly 
done experiment COP of about 1.5 is doable – even old had. Thermacore, one the 
top companies in thermal engineering - ran multiple reactors for over a year at 
COP 1.5 average in the nineties - and their proof was overwhelming… but despite 
all efforts, they could not make the gain go higher than 1.5 and fossil fuel 
was cheap then.
Rossi can do the normal Ni-H version, we must assume, and get COP 1.5. If he is 
good, he may have pushed the gain to COP ~2-3. That would be admittedly a 
valuable advance, but falls short of the big bucks in the contract. The reason 
that Rossi and his stooges are dishonest here, and have resorted to using the 
air-for-steam cheat which Goat-Guy discovered - is that AR has to make the gain 
seem much higher than it is to get the big bucks. 
He cannot do that without cheating – apparently, or otherwise there is no 
reason not to demonstrate this to real third party expert. 
When IH’s pleadings arrive, and it will probably take a few weeks perhaps – 
this is most likely what they will say. They may even ask that the court 
appoint an expert to do independent testing – and this should please everyone … 
except a cheater.

If these two are the unlicensed "engineers" responsible for operating a
boiler without a proper license, then yes - that is a violation of municipal

Jones, I think the Goat-guy is correct - I just read other things into his
statement.
Fukushima and Chernobyl both had licensed, well educated experts designing
and running the plants - it still went 'BOOM'. The conclusion I draw is not
that they are so free from moral that they do not hesitate to lie if it
seems to be an advantage for their employer. I think it happened because
they did not have enough imagination to see the outcome and consequences of
unforeseen complications. That is part of being human. Yes, there is a
possibility that both those tragic accidents happened because of evil
planning. I doubt it and I would never state that being the fact without
having very good indicators (evidence) to back up such a statement.

Your conclusion that those guys have violated some US law is not
substantiated. They might have had a permit would that make any difference?
They might operate on the customer's permit.
Then you say they should be deported and fined. How does that make anything
good fro anybody. Why is that helping LENR.?
Then you say that Rossi (the bad guy in your thinking) has sent them to
Tuscany. How do you know? Does it matter where those guys are?

Jed,
In court they do not admit hearsay. You have heard from others that Rossi
is hard to negotiate with. You say that you have negotiated with him and it
was hard. Well, that kind of increases Rossi's credibility. I doubt he saw
that you had anything to offer that he wanted. All negotiations comes to
the point when there are mutual benefits to be exchanged or there is not.
Your analogy with Trump only says that you speak Japanese as determined by
you, Jed.

If the reality is that you are qualified to judge others skill after you
met a few representatives than you should offer those skills as they would
out- compete any other organization or person. I doubt that is far from
reality. People from IH are managed by people with no skills in the regards
we talk about here. That means their results are managed by people with
other motivations. How you know Rossi's capacity is another mystical issue.
Give me one reason he could hired someone as good as yourself when it comes
to caliometry. How do you know he has not. I just try to say; you sound
like you have all the pertinent information although I suspect you have
fraternised with the people you claim to be able to judge for hours at
best, while as I said previous it takes months to be able to begin to
really evaluate others.

Then you hide behind the word 'doubt' while you actually said


I doubt that it will come. If he wanted to release it, he would have already
.

He has stated he will publish as soon as the legalities are cleared.

We agree upon that if he does not provide any progress (production or
reports) he will lose credibility.

The agreement between Rossi and IH specifies that acceptable results would
be a COP of 4 to 6 (NOT 6) as I read the document.. Furthermore Rossi
frequently indicated that the reactor at the customer was in a
self-sustaining mode which may have meant that the COP was quite high--50 as
suggested.  

Firstly, there is/was no customer. The testing was done of the premises of
the President of Leonardo. 

Secondly, ask yourself why Darden did not see any gain over the 3 years and
$10 million up front. If you were involved, in Rossi's shoes - wouldn't you
make absolutely sure he Darden had seen a little gain, even if was not high
COP?

As Jed who is in a much better position to comment than anyone else, who has
posted on this subject agrees, having visited them -  IH is credible. That
speaks volumes to me.

Rossi has been convicted of doing similar scams. Rossi's minions blindly
think he is credible, despite his criminal record and the TEG scam, and
despite the fact that now - we have been shown a clear way that high COP can
be faked. Before Goat-guy we did not have that critical piece of the puzzle
- how he and Penon pulled off faking the data.

And guess what Bob, the initial pleadings of Rossi/Leonardo, which always
put your best case scenario out for view - say nothing - absolutely nothing,
about infinite COP.  That is important because infinite COP would not be
possible with the cheat - however COP of 50 would be possible with the
cheat.

Adrian, I like the new statement you provided.
No, it is no proof of Rossi's claim in any regards.
However, that leaves a very clear and final message about what is and what
is not.
To keep any credibility he needs to produce (and sell( Ecats. He cannot do
so if he does not show performance.
It is not an answer this week but within six months.
Until then we can expect the report from the 12 months test and the
response fro IH in the lawsuit.
I see no reason to condemn Rossi with the information we have today.I think
he has been the only source of positive LENR news for years. If he has had
nothing he must be the master of all magicians and I think he is an
entrepreneur and as such he he takes some wide turns now and then - typical
for entrepreneurs.

2016-04-11 Thread Bob Cook
Jones--

The agreement between Rossi and IH specifies that acceptable results would be a 
COP of 4 to 6 (NOT 6) as I read the document.

Further more Rossi frequently indicated that the reactor at the customer was in 
a self-sustaining mode which may have meant that the COP was quite high--50 as 
suggested.  The power output would still only have been at the Megawatt the 
plant could properly handle, with the cooling system--pumps etc--still 
requiring a small amount of electrical input.   Rossi has always suggested that 
there was some  control, not necessarily the thermal heating of the fuel 
initially, that  allowed shutting off the reactor or reducing its output.  

I worked with the design of fission nuclear plants thermal hydraulic systems 
for many years, and many of those reactor power plants  had a COP of infinity.  
They took no input power to operate.

What Rossi claims makes a lot of sense to me.  And fooling the oversight folks, 
there were three, in the initial test of the 10kW module plant in Rossi's plant 
in Italy would be hard to do IMHO.  I do not think I could have been fooled, 
and I have never had a professional license, nor a PHd behind my name.

Jack,



Good post and let me fill in a few of the gaps, since the devil is in the 
details and the scam becomes crystal clear when all the details are all 
presented together. 

First - There is no doubt in my mind that Rossi can show anomalous thermal 
gain. It has been done with Ni-H for 25 years, starting with Piantelli and 
Thermacore.

Second – This disagreement is not just about showing an energy anomaly – and 
making it run reliably. To get the 100 million, according to the contract, 
Rossi has to demonstrate an astounding COP of 6. That has never been done 
reliably and would be the breakthrough, if true.

All of us who have been around this field are convinced, that with a properly 
done experiment COP of about 1.5 is doable – even old had. Thermacore, one the 
top companies in thermal engineering - ran multiple reactors for over a year at 
COP 1.5 average in the nineties - and their proof was overwhelming… but despite 
all efforts, they could not make the gain go higher than 1.5 and fossil fuel 
was cheap then.

Rossi can do the normal Ni-H version, we must assume, and get COP 1.5. If he is 
good, he may have pushed the gain to COP ~2-3. That would be admittedly a 
valuable advance, but falls short of the big bucks in the contract. The reason 
that Rossi and his stooges are dishonest here, and have resorted to using the 
air-for-steam cheat which Goat-Guy discovered - is that AR has to make the gain 
seem much higher than it is to get the big bucks. 

He cannot do that without cheating – apparently, or otherwise there is no 
reason not to demonstrate this to real third party expert. 

When IH’s pleadings arrive, and it will probably take a few weeks perhaps – 
this is most likely what they will say. They may even ask that the court 
appoint an expert to do independent testing – and this should please everyone … 
except a cheater.

2016-04-11 Thread Blaze Spinnaker
Look, I am hopeful he actually has 50x COP... But seriously folks.   Thomas
Darden had an impeccable reputation.  He also went out on a limb and gave
Rossi 11m plus USD.

Rossi, on the hand, has absolutely nothing but a pattern of fraud and
deceit.

50x COP is an absolute crazy number when he could barely show anything
realiably in any previous test.

Let's hope it proves true, but at this point even the most ardent believer
should be exceedingly skeptical until Rossi ponies up something real or we
get some very very solid replications.

There are several simply ways of proving the E-Cat works.  Of course you 
can cheat with any of them if you set your mind to it.  If you can't 
believe the experimenter you have to have a competent observer to check 
for cheating.  That is the problem here with those that don't trust 
Rossi.  That is why an independent tester like an ERV is valuable.

I don't think GoatGuy brought anything new to the party.

Craig,
It is hard to tell who said what in this format.
I was talking about Rossi's prior demos when I wrote that.  The 1MW 
plant is a different story.  The proof is supposed to come from an 
independent third party - the ERV.



">>>He says he has not read the Penon report yet, so he cannot judge. 
The people at I.H. have read it. At this point, we can only compare 
Rossi's evaluation with I.H.'s. In my informed opinion, they are better 
at calorimetry, so it is likely they are right.


Does the license agreement look like IH can interpret it? It reads as 
though the ERV certifies that the device complied with a set of 
specifications. If it did, then the ERV certifies it.


Section 5. Guaranteed Performance.

"The ERV (or another party acceptable to the Company and Leonardo) will 
be engaged to confirm in writing the Guaranteed Performance."


I don't see where IH has the authority under the agreement to make any 
kind of judgment on the report.

Perhaps Rossi NEEDS to take it back in court so any patent applications made by 
IH that are based on Rossi materials and IP are stripped and assigned to Rossi. 
He certainly wants the money most but I think he is also very concerned about 
the new IH patents and how much IP that IH has shared with competitors. The 
liability could be enormous compared to the 89M.

   Hah! I got it… finally! (I see how the 'trick' is very likely being
   performed, and why IH decided on a different testing procedure from the
   'contract approved' one.)

   Its cute, subtle, and would result in an entirely misleading result.
   FIRST, you need to open the (
   http://www.e-catworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/R_123621412_3.pdf )
   pdf file.

   Look at Figure 1. In the center of the “reactor shelter”, is a box
   labeled “water reservoir”, which has 2 inlets and 2 outlets.

   Inlet 1, top = tap water from municipal line
   Inlet 2, bot = return from steam condensers
   Outlet 1, top = water to first half of E-cats and then to water tank 1
   Outlet 2, bot = water to second half of E-cats and then to water tank 2

   All that would be needed would be for the steam-condensor loop to have a
   BUNCH of air in the line for this to be a really misleading COP > 1 system.
   Sensors that measure gas flow cannot discriminate 100% steam from 50:50
   steam from 0% hot air. Likewise, with a bit of flim-flam, most of the heat
   emitted could be combined back into the circulating loop (of which there
   are 2: (water tank 1) → (input to ECat₁) → (combine with reservoir tank
   water) → (back into ECat₁) → (back to water tank 1) … repeated for the
   bottom half.

   In this system most of the input power can heat the effluent stream, if
   needed. The amount of 'real steam' in the big old misdirection-device (the
   "condensers", which are huge, non-quantitative, impressive and so on), which
   thru air-in-the-lines becomes 'the ruse' looks great. Metrology is done.
   It all seems great because no one is alert to the intent-to-deviate from
   the patent diagram.

   The receiving tanks get both new tap water and a bunch of recirculated
   water, reheated. The bogosity of the experiment isn't easily revealed. No
   attempt is made to mass-heat a bunch of water (like a small swimming pool's
   worth) a finite amount. The whole thing runs at whatever rate it runs
   (which is carefully excluded from the PDF). The only measure left is the
   misdirected one.

   It is ingenious.
   And if I were 'there', I'd too be calling for different testing.
   Namely… substituting a liquid-liquid heat exchanger for the great big
   air blower.

   To heat the small swimming pool.
   Which REALLY becomes quantitative, fast.
   To at least 2 sig-figs.
   More than enough to expose the rat.
   Or to confirm the golden goose.

   Which (by my surmise) confirms why Rossi's so up tight about the testing.
   Which he shouldn't be if it is aiming toward MASS calorimetry.
   Which of course he's never done.
   Nor will he.

   Because it exposes rats.
