Almost. The power being fed to the heater exceeds that measured at the
wall, because the sensor used (an AC current clamp) cannot sense the
direct current being drawn from the wall socket.
Some people find the difference between current and voltage confusing.
What I am saying here is that if you connect a resistor in series with a
diode to a wall socket, then the CURRENT drawn is direct even though the
VOLTAGE at the socket is alternating. (Rossi does not seem to understand
this concept judging by his message that got posted today). So unless
you use a DC rated current meter (such as a shunt) you will not sense
all of the current, and hence power, drawn from the wall socket.
The electrical power meter in your house certainloy IS rated for DC, so
you will certainly be BILLED for the power even though you didn't
measure it yourself!
V = IR
Power = Voltage * Current * Power Factor

Am I right in understanding that this line of reasoning requires
tampering with the mains itself, where the electrical measurements
were made, in addition to any sly customizations that might have
been made at the controller?
I think I'm starting to understand. This is a separate line of
reasoning to the one about the possibility of hidden DC and RF passing
undetected through the clamp meters at the mains. In this line of
reasoning, the duty cycle (35 percent ON) is misunderstood, and there
is a hidden DC component from the controller delivering power to the
E-Cat, but not above what was read from the wall -- am I describing
this right?
