Rossi made recently a statement about some critics, that explain also the subtleties of his reactor:

QuoteDisplay MoreTO THE READERS:I have been informed right now that on a blog a person whose nickname is Raman has said a curious thing I want to deal with because is a paradigmatic example of fake professionality used to perpetrate an agenda.Here is how the story goes.
This Raman, proclaiming himself a high level expert, writes that from the data of the report the conductivity of the cables of the resistance does not respect the Ohm’s Law, therefore all the E-Cat stuff is rubbish.
He says this apodictically, without any analysis of the real situation: as a matter of fact, the alloy of the resistance is different from the alloy of the cables. Every alloy’s behavior in function of the temperature is a characteristic of its. In the alloy of our resistance, the behavior is not linear. Copper wires have standard Ohmic behavior in function of temperature: their resistance becomes higher with the temperature. Because the resistors are in series and not in parallel, it is clear that with higher temperature the copper cables dissipate less and the coils of the internal resistance dissipate more. Mr Raman uses the word “Shunt”, in a totally improper situation: shunts are resistors that are put in parallel to an ammeter, but in this case we have resistors in series; he has used a simple evaluation of linear behavior as if dealing with simple electric conductors. Our doped conductor has non linear answers, and it acts in synergy with the regulation and control system in a very sophisticated way. As I said many times, the E-Cat is a machine much, much more complex than it appears to be. Somebody really thinks that I am a stupid guy, and that the E-Cat is fallen on my head casually from a fig tree, while I was eating a banana, with problems in managing how to peel it ( and jetting the peel on the flowers too); consequently, these imbeciles ( from the Latin Imbacula, not an offense, just a factual situation), that do not know the difference between linear and nonlinear behaviors in function of T, think they can act as Professors, utilizing formulas to calculate linear integrals instead of non-linear, without even think to the fact that, before saying this, you have to analyse the situation you are dealing with.
The Professors of the ITP have, obviously, considered only the well known dispersions, i.e. the ones from the copper cables. From the report, it is clear that for the Cu cables the Ohm Law is perfectly respected, while it is not possible for the cables of the resistance inside the E-Cat. The alimentation cables are in series with the cables inside the reactor, therefore all the line cannot be considered linear.
In a nutshell: the Report is very, very tough and deep, it is not fit for an easy reading. I bet all you want that this Mr Raman has not been able to read it.
So long, “Prof” Raman.
