Now for the argument that Rossi runs the risk that somebody will try a
type B meter (DC capable), or, for that matter, a simple oscilloscope.
He simply does not permit such things. He claims not to allow an
oscilloscope because it would reveal a "proprietary waveform". By
keeping tight control over the test conditions, he is able to ensure
that his questionable power measurements are not exposed. By not
allowing inspection of the heater controller, he keeps the diode (or
asymmetrical firing of the Triacs) from public view. Rossi behaves as
if a mundane heater control is super-secret technology - does nobody
else find this strange?
I can hardly believe that when you connect a scope to the same wall plug
as to which the input for the E-cat is connected that Andrea will not
allow this.
If my assumption is right that:
a: the proprietary waveform is of a much higher frequency/waveform then
the AC from the wall plug,
b: Andrea might be afraid for feedback signals coming from the E-cat
control box back into the grid,
then a low-pass filter (up to ~ 50 Hz) between the wall plug and the
E-cat control box should be sufficient for:
a: the scope not being able to detect the proprietary waveform generated
in the control box and fed back to the grid,
b: at the same time still be able to detect any possible "strange"
waveforms trying to being inserted through the wall plug into the
control box of the E-cat,
c: and also preventing any "strange" waveforms to be passing through the
low-pass filter into the control box of the E-cat :-) .
B.t.w. if Andrea is afraid of the proprietary waveform generated in the
control box and fed back to the grid from happening he should redesign
his control box and include the low-pass filter as a part of the
internal circuitry.
Kind regards,
Rob
