Rossi Describing the Quark on a Whiteboard

Quote from Alan Smith

Well, the current shunt will indicate amperage calculated from the measured voltage drop across the shunt resistor - but not of course voltage. So only half the story.

Alan, I think there has been a confusing proliferation of misuse of the term "shunt resistor". The series configuration shown is a "current sense resistor". A "current shunt resistor" is something placed in parallel with a meter to allow very high currents to be measured - for example to allow a 1A meter to read 100A.

Dear Andrea Rossi,

I have seen your whiteboard calculation of the COP for the QuarkX. I do not understand why you use the power in the external 1 Ohm resistor as input power to the QuarkX. Could you please explain, thank you.

Best regards, H-G Branzell

The whiteboard photo has been published without my authorization after being done during a professional training under NDA in the meeting room of Leonardo Corporation’s factory.

I am ot going to comment on it.

That sounds to me like Rossi caught in the act. He can simply refuse to discuss the matter....

Doubt it will worry his fan club much! By now they must be pretty resilient.

To be fair - both are corrent. But current sense resistor is more usual and clearer.

I am curious about the phrase "professional training under NDA".

I thought Rossi was secretive and did not have any products to sell.

So in that case who would he be training?

Could it be staff, what does he need the staff for?

Or customers or a sales team?

Any guesses what is going on here?

Likely a training course in electric theory. You know, Ohm's law, Kirkhoff's laws. Abstruse stuff that one may want to refresh, remember the Lugano currents in the 3 phase delta loads?

"professional training under NDA"

Some options:

1. He is hiring new staff that is being educated
2. He is educating partner staff
3. He is licensing his technology and educating the staff of his licensee(s)

I could be wrong of course, but I cannot imagine Rossi giving a training course in electric theory like some kind of lecturer.

First he does not need the money.

Second he surely has more important things to do with his time such as saving the world and winning the court case.

Third, generally training courses in electrical theory are not done under NDA and he is supposedly showing detailed insights into the QuarkX.

So it must be something to do with the QuarkX product.

Which suggests technical staff or sales staff for Leonardo or possibly a customer.

But there is no product supposedly so Leonardo does not need staff and nor does it have customers.

Rob Woudenberg seems a more logical guess.

Oh wait, I forgot that when it comes to logic vs Rossi then Rossi tends to win.

It might be helpful to know the date when this took place.

Rossi does it again with raising the confusion metric. Or maybe it is just me that is confused. Or mabye Rossi is confused.

Maybe he hired contractors/actors when he went out to buy his toupee, to stage a fake "professional training"? this seems the most likely hypothesis, I mean, one which can be accepted by our Internet Experts

Waiting on those aforementioned Experts to debunk the equations, I'm certain they can prove that they're off by a factor of at least 22k

Well we can always go back to the three basic plots;

1. The QuarkX is genuine and Rossi is having a meeting with potential customers or manufacturers or possibly staff.

2. Rossi is a fraud and this setup is just a visual setup equivalent to Rossi talking to himself on JONP. If one wanted to be hyper skeptical we can only see one head and that could be a dummy.

3. Rossi is delusional and he thinks he is explaining to a bunch of devotees how he is going to save the world.

2 & 3 are not mutually exclusive. That is the key to understanding Rossi.

Looks like a 'Rossi Leak' by a sock puppet designed to 1: promote the idea the QuarkX is real, 2: promote the idea Rossi has suffered radiation exposure, hair loss and frail. 3: is battling on regardless against the evil IH.

He is getting desperate, down to a whiteboard, bad toupée and a blue glow.

I was trying to be sarcastic with the lecture thing.

Your sock puppet leak explanation is the most credible. But the sock puppet went too far disclosing (in spite of the NDA) this absurd idea of computing input power as the power dissipated on the current sensing resistor. This is much better than the Muppet show!
