I cite Andrea Rossi:
Andrea Rossi May 24th, 2013 at 4:56 AM To the Readers: A friend of mine, Prof. of Electric Measurements , put me a question that I think is important to reproduce here: ” The measurement of the electric energy consumed by the resistance could have been affected by the fact that a particular wave has been produced that the instrument of measurement could have not been able to measure”. This question is important. The answer is: the measurement of the electric energy that has been consumed by the resistances has been made BETWEEN THE PLUG OF THE GRID AND THE CONTROL PANEL, NOT BETWEEN THE CONTROL PANEL AND THE RESISTANCES. Therefore the wave of the electricity in the point in which the electric energy consumed has been measured was a full, regular wave od alternate current ( the instrumentation used allowed also to see the wave form). AGAIN: THE MEASUREMENT MADE BY THE PCE 830 HAS BEEN TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE GRID OF THE OF THE ENERGY DISTRIBUTOR; AFTER THE MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY , THE ENERGY IS ENVOYED TO THE REGULATION SYSTEM ( ANGLE PHASE TRIAC), THEREFORE THE SOLE ENERGY MEASURED IS 380 VOLTS 3 PHASES 50 Hz !!! Obviously the Examiners wanted to measure the energy consumed between the plug of the grid and the control panel exactly for this reason. This can be also found in the Report. Warm Regards, A.R. All these problems and questions are related to the fact that this paper was not reviewed (my opinion). Rossi seems to speak only about the last test in march 2013. The problem remains: how is it possible that a heating resistor may produce such a massive phase shift with the result of a o.48 power factor. Inside the reactor there is no place for any complex electronic system of any kind, the hih temperature of 800+ degrees Celsius would destroy condensers and any soldering. Measuring the tension between two phases would result (in Italy) in a tension of about 400 V AC, but not 237 or 238 V. But we may expect such a tension around 230 V AC measuring between one of the phases and the neutral pole. In USA and Japan it would be 191 V AC / 110 V AC. The voltage between line conductors is √3 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_3> times the phase conductor to neutral voltage. Isn't it?
