Re: [Vo]:FAKES NOT ALL ELIMINATED : Swedish physicists on the E-cat: "It's a nuclear reaction"
http://lenr.qumbu.com/fake_rossi_ecat_v314.php Preliminary Conclusion: Because the horizontal arm was NOT inspected "unwrapped", we have to assume it contained FAKE material. The 6 hour test was NOT long enough to eliminate all of the fakes.

Since we do not have access to the internal design of the central fuel container and no information on the external lead shielding and the cooling water system we can only make very general comments.

They say they had free access to the inlet water hose and so on. Look at the photo of the device. The components on that list includes everything but 50 ml inner cell. So your analysis should assume that hidden fuel has to fit into that 50 ml. They had free access to everything else. They say they have no "information" on two things: the lead shield, and the cooling water system. The cooling water system is hidden in there with the cell, under that copper bulge. It is the heat exchanger. "Information" on the lead shield would be, I suppose, the mass of it or the purpose of it. Even if we assume the shield was not removed, I can see practically everything in Fig. 2 with the lead shield in place. I can estimate the thickness of the insulation. And Fig. 4 shows the whole thing with the shielding removed. So I not see what you are talking about. I refer to the figures here: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/EssenHexperiment.pdf - Jed
Re: [Vo]:FAKES NOT ALL ELIMINATED : Swedish physicists on the E-cat: "It's a nuclear reaction"
Just to reiterate a little, the report says: "Figures 1 and 2 below depict the insulated device used for the experiment together with three spare devices." It is obvious from Fig. 2 how big the pipes under the insulation are. You can peek and see most of them where the H2 valve comes out. Fig. 4 shows the insulated device with the top insulation removed. I do not know if they went ahead and unwrapped the whole thing, but that does not matter. You can see most of it from this photo. You can tell from the thickness of the insulation and the size of the pipes going into the remaining insulation, and the parts of the lower section uncovered, that this is same kind of gadget as the other three spares. It is conceivable that Rossi hid ~100 ml under there instead of 50 ml, but that would have effect on the conclusions. - Jed

A new version is up at http://lenr.qumbu.com/fake_rossi_ecat_frames_v316.php a) I added the new Swedish interview -comments link b) I added some new fake methods -- particularly Peter van Noorden's "water bypass" and a couple of quibbles from the Randi forum c) I've reorganized to use frames, with an index panel.

Alan - I think someone should actually try this (arrange to be an Agent for Rossi - to collect Randi's prize) . really. On a more sodden note, here is the best "Fake" alert dreamt-up yet, in terms of the ease of pulling it off - for situation where the E-cat is cooled by a direct connection to the building's water supply, as in Feb. http://my.firedoglake.com/ruthcalvo/2010/12/09/big-downside-to-fracking-flam mable-water/ IOW - all it would take for a dedicated scammer in the Feb testing, in Rossi's factory building, would be to have a remote control switch to a valve connected to the water line from a gas line (it could be far removed from the experiment) such that once Levi gets the device started, and water flowing - the culprit hits the 'remote' allowing a combustible gas into the water. This could be triggered with a cell phone too. The best choice of gas is not methane as seen in the above image but the typical HHO gas from an electrolysis cell which can be hidden a long distance away. It turns to steam but that is where the "chimney" comes in handy. In your "chimney" you need to condense all the steam from the HHO with a colder water reflux raising the water temperature to what is seen. About 20 kW electric into one of the Epoch commercial HHO welders would make enough HHO to produce 16 kW thermal heating. Here is where you can order one. http://www.oxy-hydrogen.com/manufacturer/12460/12460.html

Explain how this would work in the systems being sent to Uppsala and Stockholm Universities, and the 1 MW unit he will send to Defkalion. Do you think Rossi will send in a crew to secretly install the equipment needed to add gas to the cell the night before the e-Cats arrive? If he does not do this, his trick will be discovered. So what is the point? The best choice of gas is not methane as seen in the above image but the typical HHO gas from an electrolysis cell which can be hidden a long distance away. It turns to steam but that is where the "chimney" comes in handy. You do realize that the people testing the system looked into the chimney. The burners and valves required to generate 16 kW would be quite visible. We won't discuss the likelihood of generating 130 kW, since it may cause you to accuse yourself of horrible misbehavior again. - Jed

Before going to sleep- I want to ask you, Jones what's "non-test"? I have made many tests, few successful many great failures- but not a single "non-test" Please define- and tell what has happened? My scenario is that they had a great initial heat peak (not expected( and they had to quench the system with plenty of water. And a small temperature difference. These peaks are a problem. it's an industrial test not a scientific test- such things happen. Surprise! A tube leaked and we were in room with some 500 grams of liquid phosgene, free.. Good stuff for nightmares.

This is because it was closed to all but a few chosen viewers and there is a credible way to fake it. Even if you believe it was not faked, it supplies no credible evidence to a physicist (skeptic), therefore it is a "non-test"

Lots of energy, for many hours- not bad. Peak of energy after start, adds to realism. He cannot and will not make demonstration in a soccer arena before 50,000 fans. He has a source of energy, he has some technical and other problems (patenting, reverseengineeringphobia) he makes smart moves and blunders- it is a quite normal process of development.

I agree with you. It appears real. We still must remain open to the fact in the "subject heading" that fakes have not yet been eliminated.
