Rossi: No Further Black Box Testing

The following is my idea. Andrea Rossi has an effect that can be extremely powerful, yielding outrageous levels of excess heat and even allowing for multiple hours of heat after death. He has witnessed reactors producing such obvious excess heat frequently enough that he often utilizes measurement methodologies that are not nearly as rigorous as some would desire. To him, the XHE produced is every bit as present and real as the heat and force produced by the ignition of gasoline vapor in the cylinder of an automobile. Therefore, he foregoes the use of cutting edge and extremely precise measurement devices -- which could in excess be overkill -- to utilize a more "steampunk" style. Not counting the one year test of the 1MW plant (we need more data and evidence to determine a number of different facts) his methods have more often than not been sufficient to measure excess heat. In his mind, he has been rigorous *enough* and instead desires to focus on moving forward and enhancing the technology rather than what he would feel as over complicating his measurement setups. With the Quark performing so well, he's more confident in his technology than ever before.

Rossi's position has not moved on iota since 2011. In 2013, Industrial Heat wanted Rossi to include a major independent consulting firm, and Rossi said it would "make big problems" for him.

Of course it would.

Meanwhile, the customer area! Taa daa! IH has filed an Amended Complaint, and Exhibit 26 shows the ... customer area. You can see the whole thing, enclosed in a low wall. Inside the enclosed area is a large black "box."

82. Indeed, when Murray eventually gained access to the Plant in February 2016 and examined the Plant, the methodology being used to operate the Plant, and the methodology being used to measure those operations, he immediately recognized that those methodologies were fatally flawed. Some of the flaws that he was quickly able to identify are explained in Exhibit 5. Murray also recognized that the building in which the Plant was located had no method to ventilate the heat that would be produced by the Plant were it producing the amount of steam claimed by Rossi, Leonardo, and Penon such that persons would not have been able to work in the building if the Rossi/Leonardo/Penon claims were true. This conflicted with the claims of individuals who had been in the building when the Plant was operating, all of whom claimed the temperature in the building was near or not much greater than the outside temperature.
Photographs of the building ceiling from the inside are attached hereto as Exhibit 26.

That is one very large black box test, eh?

Quote from THHuxley

Apparently 55% of ECW voters are positive on Rossi technology. Rossi himself comments "he-he-he" here, as a PS to his saying that no more testing is needed for credibility because there have been so many honest and credible tests.

Such a close attention to the belief of his ECW flock mildly supports my idea that he reckons what matters in his work is dramatic effect rather than rigorous testing. It is to IH's credit that they disagree.

My sense is that most of those who had been following ECW left in disgust long ago. So what is left are largely firm believers, even fanatics. There are plenty of skeptical voices. to be sure. There, as here, Sifferkoll adds nothing but FUD. He thinks. Nobody is actually confused but him.

It's a wonder that the big black box in the Customer area didn't have big letters SEKRIT on it. Really, we couldn't make this up.

Supposedly IH could remove their plant at an time. (One fanatic ECWer said all IH would have had to do would have been to call the police.) The police are going to dismantle the customer area so that the E-Cat containers could be removed? It looks like there is no access to the back bays at all.

(I had the layout backwards. I think I was fooled by the taped-off office windows. Access to the Plant was through the back bay or other back door. But, no, the police, if there was conflict, would not allow removal unless the renter of the space permitted it. They don't make legal judgments.)

That's your idea. I have mine. I expect time will tell who's right.
