From: David Roberson 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.
