This is what I have been telling Rossi and others they should do for the last year or so. So far they have ignored me. This test works just as well with steam or with a mixture of steam and water. "Wet" steam does not affect it at all. Some people have claimed this method is inaccurate but that that has not been my experience. I do not understand why they intend to use a heat exchanger. Why not simply run water through the thing, the way they did in the 18-hour test in February? It may be less efficient but that makes no difference. I do not think that Levl claimed or meant that it would take 6 months of preparation to measure enthalpy. I think he meant it would take some months to do a thorough test of enthalpy, particles, and other nuclear effects in a way that would be suitable for a first-rank peer-reviewed journal. - Jed
