Try to be serious Cude. You know that you would find fault with any test system regardless of its performance. Your record speaks for itself.

It would be designed to work for months,and would certainly be adequate for days, which is what these experiments were run for. > 4.

Otherwise, a repeat of Levi's experiment was repeatedly requested, but never done. How hard would it be to measure the temperature in the water flow, and if you circulate water from a large tank, even better. You say skeptics can't be pleased, but the experiments specified for the steam cat were simply never done, so how can you know. And now he's abandoned that configuration and is doing something totally different, with its own problems. > No test can answer all questions or lay to rest all doubts. Of course it can. At least any doubts about the existence of a new source of energy. An isolated thing that heats a lot of water would do it, under suitable scrutiny..
