So you're not basing the confidence that an EE would find fraud impossible not
on the report or on what Hartman and Essen said afterwards but primarily on an
idealized version of what you believe they should have done to exclude fraud.
Or did they say anywhere in the paper that they actually cut
practically nothing
about the input measurement apart from the fact that they used a PCE830 and
that Hartman claims he lifted the controller from the table and couldn't see
any extra cables. Is that enough for you?

If it was, then the entire power calculation is screwed up. With that kind of
pressure the water wouldn't convert to steam (and the hose where the steam came
out during the demo would have looked dramatically different - 3 bar would be
enough to prevent boiling at the measured temperatures). May

been more than enough (unless I messed up the numbers somewhere along the line).

That depends on how many gamma rays you're dealing with. Its just stochastics.
A certain fraction will allways get through. All the shielding does is to
reduce the likelihood for each one. So even 1 m solid lead won't reduce
radiation to unmeasurable levels if there's enough of it inside.

Actually no. It is impossible. You can't shield gamma rays completely. You
could shield them enough to be so few that they would be undetectable. But if

In that case we'd be talking about liquid lead shielding. 3 cm would reduce 511

I don't get it. If there was no nuclear reaction and all of the energy came
from thermal storage, then in deed the device will stay "hot" for a long time.
However if all the heat came from a nuclear reaction, I'd expect it to cool
