Lewan goes in an other room to follow the black hose ending in that dirty bucket. And
turning the camera, we can clearly see that Rossi is "doing" something with the
blue box. As if he was touching one of the switchs.
The pump's stroke frequency was 33/min this time.
And looking into the pdfs, we have the proof, that indeed Rossi used a LMI P18
pump with a max. flow rate of 12 l/hr.
The product of 31 strokes at 2 ml is 62 ml/min. Lewan tells us, he had measured
(weight difference method) a flow rate of 63 ml/min (at 3.8 l/hr). The two
values match pretty well.
What does that mean? Someone was lying. Or someone made a big mistake and
published it.
Big mistake where & when? I'm feeling a little lost here.
The only pump flow rate I recall as being considered possibly dubious
was a claimed measured rate of 13.4 l/h, in Levi's first paper on the
January test, and that seems to be within the range of a reasonable
measurement error of the actual max flow rate of a nominal 12 l/h pump.
