It is not necessary to know anything whatever about cold fusion to evaluate Rossi's claims and the performance of his machine. I have no idea why you persist in missing that point. That some other people may have discovered cold fusion is almost entirely irrelevant to Rossi's extravagant claim of megawatt power levels. Rossi's claim is very easy to prove. You yourself have told him how to do it unequivocally many times and he has completely ignored your suggestions and has not asked any of your suggested experts to test it for him. And that tells you nothing? As it happens, I understand the basics of heat transfer and fluid flow and have been involved professionally in the design of Seebeck effect calorimeters. I am entirely capable of determining if Rossi has properly tested his machines and has presented proper evidence. I don't need to study a single thing about cold fusion to do it. Testing Rossi's machines requires no knowledge of cold fusion. They need to be tested as a black box, purporting to be a net, long lasting, efficient source of excess energy. Until that's done, I couldn't give an invisible unicorn to find out *how* he does it. Before you determine how Rossi makes lots of excess energy, it's essential to prove that he does. That has not been done properly, adequately and independently. That fact has absolutely nothing whatever to do with cold fusion. It has everything to do with Rossi's intransigence and resistance to proper independent tests. My working theory on why he behaves that way is that he's scamming. He can easily falsify the premise for us by providing independent tests or even a credible, reliable client who will vouch for him. He has not done that so the matter remains unknown.
