Display MoreYou're asking that NOW?
I've been pretty much ignoring Rossi due to his own words, "In Mercato Veritas". There was nothing in mercato so there was nothing in veritas. I was surprised the lawsuit didn't reach a settlement and then, sure enough, it DID.
Which rock did you just crawl out from under? It's been discussed extensively since 2011 in all sorts of forums including this one!
I saved myself 5 years of a lot of aggravation dealing with skeptopaths such as yourself. Thanks for putting your approach into one paragraph so that others in the future don't have to wade through 5 years worth of your bullshit when the time comes to test Rossi.
In brief, the original ecats would have best been tested by collecting and sparging the steam they produced. The heat exchanger ("ottoman") ecat needed to have been tested with properly placed thermocouples. The hot cats could have best been tested by using mass flow calorimetry in a forced cooling systen (see Giancarlo et. al. which I cited ad nauseam here before. And all of these tests should have been done with proper calibrations and with power sources provided by independent (or as Rossisays "indipendent") experimenters. Of course, Rossi studiously and carefully avoided any of these necessities,
From what I can see, that's not on Rossi, that's on the independent testers. This strange skeptopathic theory that Rossi generates a reality distortion field may actually have some merit, but I doubt it.
most especially proper calibration and independent measurement of his input power. The one time he allowed that (Swedish Tech Institute) the ecat did not work. Like you really read this forum?
No, I don't. I signed up in 2014 and didn't see much of compelling interest. The main reason I came back was that ECW had a denial of service attack right around the time the Trial was gearing up, and Vortex was pretty dead. I did not know that all you EcatNews skeptopaths had settled in here.
I suppose you can find someone who will say just about anything! That is complete garbage. If a box provides a substantial source of energy in a suitable form (heat, light, electricity), it can be measured iin straightforward ways with no need to see what's inside.
That's good to know, because skeptopaths in the past have said exactly the opposite.
The difficulty of the measurement changes with many factors. And a major one is constraints on the choice of measuring methods like Rossi apparently forced on the blind mice.
Like I said before, that's on the independent testers, not on Rossi.
By forced, I mean that he probably implied strongly that if they did not go with his program, they would not be permitted to do the test.
Jed Rothwell said that Rossi uninvited him when he wanted to bring his own tools. I look forward to a lot of uninvitations from Rossi if he's just a swindler.
WTF does that nonsense crap even mean? [insults deserved here but redacted out of consideration for the hosts]
Yet another thing you do not understand so you interject insults. Pretty much the reason why you were banned from Vortex.

QuoteAnother minor note: I agree with what you said about Levi being the author of the first HT report in Ferrara.
Maybe in Ferrera, I don't know because I don't bother to keep track of where the silly tests are run. But the first to test a hot cat was Penon. Remember Penon? And he did it specifically for and with Rossi using Rossi's methodology, Rossi's measuring methods and instruments and Rossi's input power. And all the other ones, including those done by the Swedish Blind Mice, are so similar that it is hardly worth noting the differences.
Penon's test was August 2012. Know any earlier hot cat tests?

I'd put a motor-generator power conditioner between the mains and the experiment. eg http://www.pscpower.com/rotary-power-conditioning/ and monitor the INPUT to that as the overall worst-case energy input. (Including its own losses, controllers and the actual "COP" input).
Sounds good. Rossi had a generator lying around in one of the tests, giving a lousy impression. I would have a magician like James Randi inspecting all of it. Celani brought a Geiger counter and was scolded by Rossi for it, because it wouldn't take long for a skilled person to narrow down which nuclear interactions are taking place. And for goodness sake, I'd bring a thermometer or 2.

Focardi trusted Rossi and trusted that Rossi was honest and telling him the truth.
Mary. you know nothing about Focardi's relationship with Rossi except the nonsense you imagine. I think you need to calm down a little.

Thing is, you can point to a sheep. Even if it's only one sheep (and it's more now, of course). And you can analyze the sheep's DNA. There is no LENR sheep. That's why I keep asking for a self-sustaining cell or a powerful reactor, always to no avail or only to receive murky data that doesn't prove the claim. Remember the old lady in the Wendy's commercial who kept asking, "Where's the beef?" Well, my complaint about LENR from now on will be "Where is the f'n sheep?"
Hagelstein had his NANOR/FUSOR running for months. And in fact someone came in off the street to visit him, made a video of it. That's where the f'n sheep was at that time. There have been other opportunities to visit other LENR devices operating. Eventually MFMP will fill that market need for a while.

I've already posted many many times that several people I communicate with personally have reported Rossi's fraud to multiple authorities in Florida and to the IRS.
Good to know. Then the authorities are on it, and Rossi is free as a bird in the meantime -- until they round him up (which will be NEVER, based on current evidence in the docket) you'll be stuck jumping up and down saying he's a fraud. Maybe the next time you do that, someone will encourage you to pick up the phone yet again.

Krivit keeps on his site a very interesting page
Krivit had written tons of lines against Rossi.
Krivit is the champion of low level and biased "journalism". He is so biased that reminds me Mary and also his style is very similar to another guy that have a site called Shutdownrossi.com http://egooutpeters.blogspot.n…hutdownrossicom-site.html.

This demonstrate how tragic comedian you are.
You are completely out of reality. Your right place should be a lunatic asylum .
Now not by phone by writing and publishing documents why don't you make here your accusations ?
Here and now.
I really bet that you probably have nothing in your hand and also there is nobody who really denounced any crime of Rossi.
As demonstrated also here he has been completely cleared in the past and there are no accusation pending on him.

@ Shane D.
I agree with most of what you say. The one exception is the "arrangement of JONP's BOD's not being in chronological order", and your assigning some significance to that.
I've been misunderstood. I meant the order in the Ecat "Hall of Fame" compiled by Krivit (1). That order doesn't reflect anymore the true order, after the publishing of the following statement in April 2016:
QuoteFrom http://www.infinite-energy.com…ng-a-lawsuit-in-lenr.html :
"I heard how Mike became involved in starting to explore what he was doing. Rossi claimed to be closing in on producing a working LENR technology. He had American partners who had worked with the U.S. Navy and were familiar with the continuing interest of the Navy in energy technology. In late 2007 the company requested someone with technical interest and competence to view a demonstration."
After this revelation, the Krivit's list should also includes somewhere the above cited "American partners". The previous excerpt mentions the 3 personae that should occupy the 3 top positions in that list, but we don't know in which order.
QuoteI doubt there is any meaning there, other than Rossi is as sloppy creating a website, as he is in his demos.
Whom, do you think, did Krivit allude, when he wrote about the registration of that website in March 2010 (2)?
QuoteAnd I surely do not think any on JONP's BODs had anything to do with Rossi's scam.
I never said that it is a "Rossi's scam". Can we, please, call it just the "Ecat affair", or something equivalent?
QuoteOr the fact that some are affiliated with the government, means there is some conspiracy.
I never talked about conspiracies, either. Please, I'd prefer to stick on documented facts.
QuoteIn fact, as you already know, Melich's (JONP BOD, and government affiliated scientist) wife wrote that article in her Infinite Energy Magazine when the lawsuit story broke, that "Rossi, enjoyed your company, nice guy, but you are not good for LENR and do not let the door hit you in the ass on your way out".
I don't kwon why she wrote that article. It surprised me a lot, even if I always attributed a big importance to the JoNP's Board. Anyway, whichever was its purpose, that article is much more interesting for what it says about the "way in", rather than the "way out".
QuoteI agree with what you said about Levi being the author of the first HT report in Ferrara. Although Ferrara has survived scrutiny so far as I said, that does not in my mind dismiss the fact that Levi was it's main author, and his role in this affair is still very much in the air.
It's obvious that Levi is the lead author of the Ferrara report, that's not what I meant.
I wanted to stress that the first requisite for a report to be scrutinized is that the authors, especially the lead one, be all credible with respect to the subject treated by the report. In order to be considered a credible author on LENR, Levi should first explain why he used invented data to calculate the alleged excess heat reported in his January 2011 document. Until then, any scrutiny on his Ferrara's test report, as well on the Lugano's, has no meaning at all.

THH Mary FUD could be plausible just for people like you.
Focardi had the maximum respect and consideration by all his University.
If you ever would take time to read the docs in the net you would discover that his death was a tremendous mourning for the entire University.
Focardi had positive results on LENR much before meeting Rossi.
In that video from TED he appear sharp and clear in mind, A Great Scientist who says what he thinks in first person. Not an anonymous troll.

There have been other opportunities to visit other LENR devices operating. Eventually MFMP will fill that market need for a while.
Well, one thing is for certain, in my opinion, and that is that MFMP will never find any working LENR devices. They have already cried wolf numerous times. MFMP seems to have almost 0 rejection bias. I'm the opposite as I have close to a 100% rejection bias unless extremely airtight evidence is presented. For example, before I would waste any time considering a LENR claim, I would hire a local technician or student to use 2 simple measuring devices to make 3 measurements. I would not bother to go there myself to save on international travel costs. If there was even the slightest hesitation, resistance, interference, or delay with the taking of those measurements while the device was running in a state of claimed excess heat, I would immediately reject the claims permanently and move on to the next one. Out of every 1000 times this was done for claims of excess heat, I'd expect about 1 or 2 to not be due to obvious delusions or measurement error, and might require a followup visit with better measuring equipment. Out of 100 of these followups, I'd expect probably 1 to warrant serious investigation with more than a trivial amount of time or money invested.

I thought MFMP had rejected 4 claims out of 4 so far. When they come up with their outbreak, it will be something along the lines of the Celani wire and a Geiger counter measuring Gamma rays, 2 things you'll be able to order yourself and do the test yourself. And naturally when you come up with your own positive results, you can skip all the hoohaw and simply call yourself a fraud to save all your friends all that trouble.
-
In other news, it has been mentioned that the Ecat qx has zero resistance. Violating the laws of physics wasn't enough I guess. They had to totally obliterate them. This statement is intended to be tongue in cheek and sarcastic, but IH might have discovered the Ecat had "zero" resistance before rejecting it.

You didn't understand my post. I'm talking about bias even before considering a claim. Hundreds of millions of 2017 inflation adjusted dollars have been spent on LENR claims with nothing to show for it. MFMP seems to be positive about these claims some before they take measurements.

Cold Fusion is 25 ORDERS of MAGNITUDE better bang for the buck than Hot Fusion. -----------------------------------------------------
In the past I had been comparing OverUnity Apples to UnderUnity Oranges. Up until this week, Controlled Hot Fusion (CHF) experiments haven't even broken overunity, let alone ignition. Nuclear fusion hits energy milestone http://www.cbc.ca/news/technol…nergy-milestone-1.2534140
"The final reaction took place in a tiny "hot spot" about half the width of a human hair over about a ten thousandth of a millionth of a second. It released 17.3 kilojoules – almost double the amount absorbed by the fuel."
look again at the two side by side:
Cold fusion 2 * 3600 seconds average * 1/2* 300 Mjoules (Max) * 14,700 replications / $300k average = 105840 sec*MjouleSamples/$
Hot fusion 0.5 seconds*10^-9 average * 1/2* 17.3K joules (max) * 20 replications / $2 Billion average = 0.0000000000000000003 sec*MjouleSamples/$
That is now 25 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more bang for the buck.
It does not make sense to compare AVErage to MAXimum, anyways, because it depends upon having access to so much data that one can take the average of it. So I'm going to revise this aspect of the Bang4TheBuck calculation into 1/2 the maximum. One half of 300MJ is 150MJ. One half of 6MJ is 3MJ. Until we hear otherwise and need to revise it, shaving off an order of magnitude here or there.
PRevious calculation:
LENR is 14 orders of magnitude more bang for the buck than hot fusion.
look at the two side by side:
cold fusion 2 * 3600 seconds average * 300 Mjoules (Max) * 14,700 replications / $300k average = 105840 sec*MjouleSamples/$
Hot fusion 0.5 seconds average * 6 Mjoules (max) * 20 replications / $2 Billion average = 0.00000003 sec*MjouleSamples/$
That is now 14 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more bang for the buck.

***The average cold fusion experiment generates several hundred megajoules for several hours and costs maybe $300k. No, the average experiment generates a megajoule or two at most. Only a few have generated 10 to 300 MJ. - Jed

A battery when measured in series with a resistor might have zero resistance. And it doesn't violate the laws of physics.

Mary,
Remember, I have a PhD in Bologna, and minors in Ferrara and Lugano.
You are almost correct. Yes, the first Hotcat (HT) test was not Levi's, yet the real 1st test by Penon you refer to, was only *signed* by him. Lewan reported last year, that he had learned from Rossisays, that Penon was not the one who did the test. Now that brings up the question of who did that first test?...well, that is another mystery. Rossi had said his "Colonel" would "sign off" on the final report, yet when it bled out in the fall 2012, Penon made his first appearance in this saga with his signature.What I was referring to was the first Levi HT test in Ferrara, and considering the complex circumstances, you are forgiven for mixing them up.
