You are saying that Rossi reports two different critical temperatures? One at which the reaction begins, and another, higher temperature at which it self-sustains? If that is how it works, that's interesting. At ICCF17 Celani said he would insulate the cell so that input power could be reduced after the reaction turns on, gradually reducing it to zero. In principle that should work. In practice it might be difficult or even dangerous, since you cannot easily balance input and output, and it might overheat or go out of control. Anyway, I have heard that he tried this. He was able to reduce input considerably. But not all the way down to zero. That does not prove the effect is an artifact, but it is not good news. Conversely, if he *had* been able to do that, it *would* prove the effect is real. - Jed
