Even if the flow meter was off by a factor of 10, the COP that was measured in light of the corrected flow would still meet the performance requirements defined by the licence agreement as follows: COP 50/10 = 5. A COP of 5 still meets the Performance spec defined in the licence agreement. The flow meter must be off by a factor of 13. Even spin must meet the constraints of logic.
Axil, your post incorrectly attributes your reply to me. I have corrected that above.
First of all, whether or not the ERV report shows that the test met formal requirements as stated in the Agreement, the central IH claim will be that Rossi did not perform on the core of the Agreement, but this is only necessary for them to show if the suit is not dismissed on the argument that IH did not agree to the GPT timing, and that is actually almost open and shut at this point. Rossi may claim estoppel, if the judge allows it at this point -- she might not -- but ... if there was a written agreement as explicitly required, Rossi may discover that just going ahead and doing whatever he pleased without getting IH to literally sign onto it, may have wasted a year of his time, even with a "successful" test. As I read the Agreement, IH and Rossi could still agree to a test, but this is very clear to me: before IH will pay -- and before, in fact, they could afford to pay -- Rossi will have to successfully teach them how to make devices that work without him camping in the container for a year, devices that work when independently tested, no fooling, no more excuses, no more "nobody-a would-a believe-a test-a in your landlord'sa facility-a, we need a truly ah independent-a customer in a Florida!" (if that happened, and I have seen no sign so far that Dewey is lying.)
IH has not actually made the claim yet, they have not formally repudiated the ERV report. If they are going to do that, it would be in the Answer that they will file only if the suit is not dismissed. The first hint that something was awry with the Rossi-IH relationship was the press release at the beginning of March that nobody had the right to speak for IH who was not explicitly authorized. Planet Rossi went nuts over this, trying to figure out what it meant. But it was actually a very simple statement, continually ignored on Planet Rossi, which is constantly trying to figure out hidden meanings from far too little data. Rossi then probably lied -- no divorce --, but it doesn't really matter.
Anyway, Axil, your comment is, to use the technical term, bullshit.
You want to discuss the test itself. Okay, suppose the flowmeter is off by a factor of ten. There are other issues. A device like the 1 MW plant has thermal inertia. If you operate it in a certain way, it will continue to generate steam with no power input, or with much lower than average power input. Without test details, it is truly impossible to come to conclusions like you have stated. You have taken a rumor, possibly about peak power and converted it to average power.
This is common on Planet Rossi, and it's a very easy trap to fall into. Rumors are repeated over and over until they take on the color of accepted fact, without independent corroboration, and often original attribution is lost. A hilarious example of that took place a few days ago where a casual comment by Dewey triggered a response by Rossi that "IH men" had offered to sell the license back to him (though his language was confused, that's obviously what he meant, and then that became a thread on -- okay, I'm falling into the trope - Escat World claiming that IH had made an offer, which then came back here from there, again, as that. And this did not immediately go away when the silliness was pointed out. Sifferkoll and Rossi believe that corporations and officers and people associated with them are all the same entity, so if Dewey says something, then IH has said it. If Darden tells Rossi that they could pay $100 million because they are from Cherokee, which is a $2.2 billion corporation, therefore Cherokee is backing Darden. Darden was not lying, but the meaning was different from how Rossi claims to have taken it: the meaning was that these are the circles they move in and for them to raise $100 million if needed was S.O.P.
We hear or read something, we interpret it, and it is very normal to them remember what we think it meant, rather than what was actually said, and thus the "telephone game" which actually is not only about people-to-people communication, but happens internally as well.
