The report is signed by a professional engineer, selected by a customer. The test he ran may not meet our expectations, but the input/output curve for water temperature is impressive. It's not clear that a customer would _care_ how it was gotten, as long as it was inexpensive and reliable.
You can argue that there was a hidden heat source to explain the difference between 66KWh used and the 2.6MWh produced. But that's a huge difference, and both a customer and and a licensed engineer appear to be satisfied. Licensed engineers treat their signature with some care: it's their livelihood, and they are legally responsible for their statements. As for the notion the customer is a food processor? Makes a ton of sense: they consume a lot of relatively low grade heat. Why pay for expensive electricity or gas to produce it if you can get it cheaper from an eccentric Italian. If this takes the short term economic pressure off Ing. Rossi, he may be able to make more progress on both electrical generation and on home-sized heat generation. Both should be more than welcome to all of us. -- Sean
