Again, if you write “7 l/h flow” you are talking about the test done in june, with Krivit. In june, there wan’t a weight scale, only a “Rossi said” that he controlled the flow by weighting it. But is a “Rossi said”. What we really know is the pump used, an LMI P18, and we know that the maximum flow is 12 l/h at 100 strokes/min. Since you can hear in Krivit video that the pump is stroking every 2.5-3 seconds, according to the manual the maximu flow rate achievable with 25 strokes/min is 3 liter/h. That’s a fact, not a “Rossi said”.

With 25 strikes/minute is (maximum) 3 l/h. It can be lower than 3 liter/h. As I have pointed out several times, the flow was confirmed with a weight scale, so evidently that is incorrect. You cannot argue with instruments. - Jed
