Joshua: A few clarifications from you would be helpful... Jed wrote: >> You do have to trust Levi, Celani and Dufour and some other people. To which Joshua stated: > Why? They were hand-picked by Rossi. Where is your evidence that the scientists that were there to instrument the demo were 'hand-picked" by Rossi? I have kept up with this topic, and I cannot remember anywhere that that was stated. I highly doubt it was Rossi... more likely Focardi. Regardless, what either of us "thinks" (i.e., surmises) is irrelevent; what matters here are the facts, and I think its worthwhile to know how the participants were selected. Joshua stated: "And since the steam is created in the horizontal portion, it is forced up 50 cm of pipe through liquid, which would presumably turn the liquid into a fine mist after a few minutes"... Again, where did you get this detail about the operation of the reactor? I have not seen ANY description of how the water is circulated inside the reactor, nor, and more importantly, the location of where the intense heat source is that actually vaporizes the water.
