No, that is impossible. As Smith pointed out, nothing would flow if that were true. The reservoir had to be at 1 atm because it was open to air, as anyone can tell by looking at it. Again, you make a grade-school level mistake.
The evidence is visible, as I just said. The reservoir is open to the air etc..
I was busy with translating a PdD high temperature material
especially interesting so I am surprised that Smith's fatal errors were not eradicated till now here - and this is very simple.
He invokes sacro-saint thermodynamics in vain.
As I have shown in an editorial, Smith's leading idea is to drown the ERV report and to drown it in a small quantity of water.
What actually happened is the following: the e-Cats have generated steam (with the parameters from the Report) this was condensed and cooled at the JMP Plant (we still have to know exactly how, but it is not an imossible task) and recirculated to the reservoir about which Jed speaks here. Underway water goes through the Flowmeter- which clearly definitely is full with water and works well.
It is atmospheric pressure steam going to JMP due to condensation there in the pipe the pressure is smaller than atmospheric then it is recirculated and its pressure at the entrance in the flowmeter must be greater than 1,3 times the atmospheric - see the lnstructios from the manufacturer.
It is NO connection between the pressure of the steam and the pressure in the pressure in the reservoir.
More than probably there was a recirculation pump the flowmeter needs a 3m plus column of water to work..
So Smith's first wise thesis is absolutely false.
Second thesis- if at 103-104 C and atmospheric pressure it was steam than we will deny. deny shamelessly that it was atmospheric pressure, simple tactic-- just fraudulent.
In the pipe at JMP it is suction- negative pressure due to condensation steam of 0.6 kg/cu.m converted in water at 1000 kg/cu.m.
Third Smith thesis insufficient pump flow- actually at 9.2 bars used the flow of the pumps was 80liters per hour. Just a dirty trick as the other two
The Italian language has a very expressive word for "it was quite enough"- BASTA! I hope the honest people here will acceept this- Smith has launched some misinformations
and calumnies however these three so called thermodynamics teachings are bsolutely baseless.
Birds of one feather flock together- se what impossibility claims the author of the Smithoniad:
"I happen to know the actual flow rate was much lower than the flow meter indicated:
How could this been stated during a visit in a plant?
Should we believe in clairvoyance? An unbelievable fairy tale.
Assez! sounds also well- please throw Smith to the grabage bin where he belongs and show respect for your colleagues
pro-Rossi or against him they are not sooo... stupid.
