You don't trust that he can read a digital weight scale? Do you trust that Krivit can? If he had any presence of mind I suppose he checked, and he would have reported a problem. He goes out of his way to find problems, finding mainly imaginary ones. or whether or not it was turned > to vapor or just spurted out as liquid slugs of water into the drain. > You saw in the video that it was steam!

Levi's university will reportedly get a grant from Rossi, but grant money does not go the professor personally. If you suspect that results are tainted by grant money, you will not believe 99% of research. > 2.

Do you really, seriously think they are bamboozling the regulators, or faking any of this? As I said, that is akin to the notion that the moon landings were faked, or the 9/11 attacks were conducted by the U.S. Government. There is no doubt Defkalion's claims are real. That proves that Rossi's claims must have been real all along. Do you suppose he is faking and yet by a fantastic coincidence Defkalion tried the same material and it actually worked? Various skeptical doubts about Rossi's tests have been posted here and elsewhere, such as claims that wet steam can reduce enthalpy by a factor of 20, or the flow rate and other factors might have made his output heat 1000 times less than it really was, or that the meter does not work as claimed in the brochure and by various experts. All of these doubts -- without exception -- are without merit. Rossi's crude estimate of enthalpy made during Krivit's visit is correct. The temperature would not be 101 deg C if there was not mostly dry steam. Anyone can confirm this, and it has been confirmed millions of times in the last 200 years. - Jed
