That answer essentially makes his demo useless. I know AR's fans will then point to Levi's report. But AR should have done a demo where he insdisputedly demonstrated an over-unity device. He did not do that in any way.
To his credit, Rossi personally did not claim an overunity device this time.
He did bogus experiments and called on people to draw their own conclusions.
These people are the most gullible/wishful thinking people in existence, so of course their conclusions would be far beyond what is shown in the demos.
Rossi is at the point in the typical Nigerian scam approach of purposely targeting only the most gullible/uneducated/delusional/naïve/stupid, you take your pick.
Edit:
Well actually if I think about it, the 10000 lumens claim requires overunity, as well as implicitly by claiming the voltage and resistor values.
But these are indirect. He never said the word "overunity" that I recall.
