Angela,
The article does not say much.  As a matter
of fact Bardi does not give any scientific fact
to confirm what he has written, just "rumors"
hence just blather on which he bases his "bufala" (scam) assumption.
You can find him on some rainews interviews
posted earlier on this list. The guy is never
to the point actually he seems to know very little about LENR...
As side note it seem that the blog where Bardi
writes is sponsored by renewable energy
companies whose interest conflicts with even
the chance that a new energy source appears. Could be maketing FUD technique?
The report claims private conversation with
Kullander, who has been strangely silent on the
Rossi affair for quite some time. It's plausible,
but obviously proof of nothing.
In my opinion, Kullander made some mistakes, and
he should simply acknowledge them and move on.
Simple, clean and clear. He reported what he saw
and based some speculations on that, without
having thoroughly investigated, that's all.
However, his name is being used, directly or
hidden under "Swedish professors," and I really
do think it's his obligation to either back up
and back out, or stand firmly behind what he wrote and said.
What I'm aware of as problems are the steam
quality "measurement" that wasn't, a minor thing,
probably, but more importantly the lack of any
verification of the assertion that all water was
vaporized. There are minor details about water
flow, etc., and, given the situation, more
stringent qualification of what he saw, because
there are possible fraud scenarios that were absolutely not ruled out.
What I've come to is that what Kullander and
Essen reported in their published report was
inadequate to establish the claimed power. There
are reasons, in that report, to suspect some
level of generated power, that's about it. Even
that could possibly be an error, it's inferred,
not soundly established as would be the case by
actually measuring the enthalpy of outlet water/steam.
