That's the point, one would be needed because none of the existing labs satisfies all the criteria yet, notably: - It should have a pure verification role: no original experiments or devices, nothing to sell, so it wouldn't be a competitor. - It would have to be publicly funded so it wouldn't depend on the claimant's or his competitors' money. Imagine we could have this perfect lab, not just one more lab in town, but a universal reference in COP measurement. Imagine now a new excess energy experiment coming out, with a promisingly high COP (but still not enough for self powering), performed by someone you don't know. Imagine you're a competitor, or an investor, with enough sense not to believe every new OU claim you read about in a paper, even a perfectly convincing well written one. Won't you be happy to let the COP cop do the verification, rather than having to try and duplicate the experiment yourself to find out if it works? Now put yourself in the place of the experimenter putting up a honest OU claim, wouldn't you be happy to have your COP validated by the COP cop? I am not saying such a reference lab can be set up just like that, only that it would be possible, and useful. The US DOE, or better the UN energy department, could set up one. Michel
