Rossi has stated that the testers brought their own cables. A poster here 
asserts that they were Rossi's cables. As usual, this issue is not addressed 
by the paper.


If I were concerned with my scientific integrity, I would collect together 
all such comments and re-issue that paper. But if I were a veterinarian, 
like one of the authors, it wouldn't be a big concern, because I could still 
make dogs' health better.

Cables? Do you mean electric wires? That brings up a good point.

With a clamp on ammeter there has to be set of wires separated. You 
cannot put the clamp around the entire circuit. The ammeters I have seen 
come with a breakout box or a set of wires, like a short extension cord. 
I suppose they brought this, rather than cutting apart Rossi's wire. 
(That's a really dumb thing to do.) So I guess there is nothing special 
about the wire from the wall socket to the power supply. Rossi is not 
using a gold or silver wire, instead of copper. For what it's worth.

I think they should ignore speculation about infrared lasers and the like.

Which author is the veterinarian?  Here are the details I've been able to
find:

   - Giuseppe Levi, researcher, nuclear and subnuclear physics, University
   of Bologna,

   - Evelyn Foschi -- not sure; possibly this:

   - Torbjörn Hartman, senior research engineer at Svedberg Laboratory,
   Uppsala University,
   http://katalog.uu.se/empInfo/?languageId=1id=N96-5170
   - Bo Höistad, professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Nuclear
   Physics, Uppsala University,
   http://katalog.uu.se/empInfo/?languageId=1id=XX1060
   - Roland Pettersson, senior lecturer, Department of Chemistry,
   http://katalog.uu.se/empInfo/?id=XX1360
   - Lars Tegnér, professor of engineering, Uppsala University,

   - Hanno Essén, associate professor of theoretical physics,

Perhaps you have in mind Foschi?  What is your source?

Vorts,

Serves me right for copying verbatim from an article without checking.

Yes, as a general warning to all, I've seen this numerous times in just 4 days, 
where someone states something that is picked up and repeated.  I've seen this 
happen not only in the comment section of various websites discussing the 
issue, but also here of all places.  E.g., the statement that how could you 
melt the ceramic with a much higher melting point and not the steel cylinder, 
or that both the ceramic and the steel melted... Both of these are wrong.  That 
was NEVER stated in the report.  It only names the steel cylinder containing 
the Ni fuel as having melted, NOT the two outer ceramic cylinders, so be 
careful of restating something unless verified by reading the original report.

And if you're taking the time to participate in some of the comment sections of 
websites, watch out for these erroneous 'requotes', and correct them; they are 
almost a sure indication that the person has NOT read the original report; they 
are just parroting what they've read elsewhere.

So yes, Hartman's a vet. Perhaps because he's vetting. Woof woof.

Yes, it was. Figs. 1-2 caption: The performance of this device was such

I said that first here, and I read the report carefully, several times.
Also, it helps to do a Ctrl-s search for ceramic (which I just did, to
