I think the analysis of the curve shapes is gross over-interpretation. First of all, it's not clear from the paper that the square wave at the input really represents a measurement, or an artist's conception. As far as I understand, it's taken from the video, but all they really say is what the peak value is, and what the cycle timing is. They don't say it drops to zero between the peaks, and they don't say how rapidly the change is. I got the impression that they just drew a square waving using the measured cycle times and the peak voltage.
Second, we don't know what other loads may be in the circuit inside the box, since there is no measurement on the output of the box. The observed cycling of the temperature is entirely consistent with a cycling on the input to the ecat between two levels very far from zero, and therefore representing much higher input power than claimed. And the cheese video shows how easy it would be to fool the meters into showing zero input during part of the cycle. It doesn't mean they used the same method, only that meters are not difficult to trick. Since it's clear the wiring was set up by Rossi, since it was already running when they came in, there is no transparency here at all. The blank run used a different power regimen. What's the use of that? It's a first class farce. Nothing more.
