Let us suppose I am an LENR fan. I interpret all the marginal data as indicating nuclear reactions without noticeable nasties.
Rossi claims to have scaled this up. Fine: I am disposed to be sympathetic.
But then I look at Rossi's 15 or so demos, all of which have glaring holes. I note that Rossi has been asked (by friends) to close these holes and has not done so. I look at the fact that Rossi's patents depend on him having got stuff to work - and the Lugano test used for this purpose showed an electric heater.
I have to reckon he is 100% incompetent or deliberately pretending to have nothing - in some cases both.
You have to have a special sort of mind to turn that into a judgement that he has any technology.
You just don't have all the data.
I now believe that Rossi has a refractory foam fuel holder inside the alumina tube that shows the correct temperature when viewed by the Lugano test instruments. The temperature probe is passing through the semi transparent alumina to take the temperature of the refractory foam and fuel in the center of the aluminum tube. Please rework your analyst to assume a silicon carbide or tungsten carbide form structure inside the alumina tube.
