No. Perhaps you misread what I wrote or I was not clear? I only demand good tests of radical new claims before I buy anything. I don't understand your problem with my response. I'd buy a unicorn powered generator too if someone could prove by proper testing that it made cheap energy. | What's their gamma-ray spectrum? I was referring to a test Rossi objected to that someone wanted to run in one of his first public demonstrations. The nuclear physicist who was doing the radiation monitoring wanted to do some sort of spectroscopy on the radiation from the E-cat. Apparently it did produced some back then. Rossi objected. I don't want to do anything like that -- no need. A three week run at a verified 1kW excess output over some reasonable input (less than 300 watts for example) or something proportional but different from that example would be fine. Under independent testing, of course. No Rossi fingers adjusting anything. The points you may have missed are that I would want verified performance numbers before buying an E-cat and they would need to be iron clad but I would not ask for anything that could be remotely interpreted as asking for trade secrets. Do you have a problem with any of that in the prior sentence? If it's not clear, by all means ask again and I'll do my best to explain it more.
