The issue isn't only or even mainly the instruments except for Bianchini using some silly Testo HVAC meter to pronounce the steam "dry" when the meter couldn't do that. The issue is a lack of a calibration run including a blank. The issue is arguing about the evaporation of water and the dryness of steam. The issue is no independent verification. The issue is that there is no way to verify that Rossi has a client, much less ask who it is. The issue is that the supposed megawatt test ran a brief period with a huge generator connected to the device the entire time and no visiting scientist or reporter was allowed to see any of the data that were allegedly collected. Lewan has reported accurately on his observations, with few comments of his > own. This is in NO way "in support of a scam". > Lewan, IMO, has been very soft on Rossi so that he could continue to get coverage. Rossi ferociously eliminates anyone who asks him the most relevant and probing questions and he never publishes such questions on his blog. When, rarely, an interesting question is published, Rossi gives a tangential response, a silly one (like about isotope enrichment and self destruct devices) or an insulting one or he simply says he can't say because it's confidential. Lewan doesn't object. So much for accurate reports. I congratulate Lewan and NyTeknik on their coverage. > Why was that again? PS: the Bacardi company recently reported that I was a customer and their rum is to blame for any typographical erroars hereinn.
