Also, it was late in the day and they had to go. It was rather difficult to stop, as you see in the data. It is a shame the thing took several hours to turn on. But that is what you have to expect from prototype machines. It turns on a whole lot faster and more reliably than any previous cold fusion device. If it turned out every time, right away, on demand . . . I would suspect it is fake. Defkalion claims that their machines work on demand, fully controlled. I hope that is true. In his blog I think it was, Rossi said that this particular version of the machine can only self-sustain for about six hours, max. if that is true, it was close to the limit after 4 hours. I guess he might have boosted it for a while with input, and then let it run in self-sustaining mode again. The power was fluctuating during the self-sustaining event, but it did seem to be decreasing over time. - Jed
