Cynical and argumentative comments have become too common here in recent weeks. I wish people would tone it down. In this case there is no reason to believe the numbers are fabricated. It is quite plausible that the total weight of hydrogen is 1 or 2 g. What would you expect to be, a nanogram? Just because you do not like Rossi, or trust him, there is no cause to doubt his every assertion. I said this method is close to useless because: I doubt the weight scale is accurate enough. If you were to weigh the tank three times in a row I expect you would find variation of a few grams, depending on where you place the tank and other factors. Even if this is the correct weight, we do not know how much of the gas went into the cell and sat there, and how much was absorbed by the powder. The pressure is some indication but that is complicated. We do not know how much gas was used to purge the hose when the hookup was made, or how much escaped when the hose was disconnected. - Jed
