An open demonstration of a benchtop device, to which scientists who are on record as skeptical are permitted, that puts out 10 kW thermal power with no electrical or chemical input for a few consecutive days would convince me they have a new source of energy. If it's a nuclear effect, it should not be that hard to be convincing. But this demo has so many holes, it's truly amazing that anyone is defending it. Then again, if you don't know that steam can be heated above 100C, anything's possible.
