Apparently the SKLep will also be available to order from the ecat.com website as of Dec 9. This is apparently something new.

Paradigmnoia - I have shown my physical reasoning and shown my work. Please consider doing the same and show me your use of an online calculator. Exactly which statement I made is incorrect?
This statement you had made "However 1 lux = 0.000001 lumen/cm2" is incorrect.
What we see in this online calculator is more consistent with what I've been suggesting:
-
Actually I think 1 lux = .0001 lumens/cm^2. Note there are 10000 cm^2 in 1 square meter (because 100 centimeters = 1 meter, and 100 x 100 = 10000).
Therefore 1 lumen falling on a square centimeter is 10000 lux. Rossi would thus be correct.
-
I'd suggest that Rossi's conversion is correct, it's perhaps just a matter of interpreting what is being said.
-
Right but 1 lux is basically the same as illumination from a normal candle 1 m away onto a m2 plate, (which would require 10000 lumens, with one lumen each landing on each cm2 as Rossisays)
So the candle (nearly hemispherically) has better output than (est) about 53000 lumens (5 sides of a 1 m cube and a bit for the bottom where the candlestick obscures).
If a candle is 1 lux or 1 lumen per steradian (roughly 1 square meter at 1 meter distance), then the total lumen output should be around 4 pi lumens. There are 4*pi steradians in a spherical area of illumination. So this is about 12.56 lumens.
-
Are you implying that Rossi's money back guarantee for a customer will not be valid? This suggests to me that being a customer wouldn't be completely bonkers.

I have a simple question for the Rossi supporters / wait for more "evidence" folks. I assume, and please feel free to correct me, that it would be fairly straightforward (by which I mean it would not require any technological or other breakthroughs) to measure the energy input and output of Rossi's widget without looking behind the curtain of his IP. So, if my assumption is correct, why doesn't Rossi simply allow an independent third party to take such measurements? Instead he refuses to allow anyone independent to even measure the energy input/output. If he had something, this would be the easiest way to prove it without revealing any IP. His absolute refusal to allow such a measurement, and his ridiculous excuses for avoiding it, tell me has nothing,
I suppose he doesn't care that much about this type of validation. It seems sufficient for him that we hear about such measurements from the purported customers. There have been certain types of validation that lend some support to things even if there are incomplete aspects to them. We can revisit them as summarized here: https://e-catworld.com/may-2013-3rd-party-test/

How can the customers be both non-existent and what you labeled them as ? Shane is right about the click-bait nature of this thread.

I have seen virtually this same post innumerable times for the past 7 years and expect to see it again and again for years to come. Some people just never get it.
Sorry, but the more public advertising and two week delivery seems new, unless you can show me otherwise. I also like the scientific details he's offering.

Steve,
All Rossi discussions are free-for-all zones. There is just no peaceful middle ground when it comes to talking about the man, his methods, actions, and history. So those who chose to participate, should know they enter at their own risk...those are the rules
That said, I did not see what comment you were referring to, when you say you were "labeled"?
Thanks Shane for the info. If you want maximum participation here I'd point out that my netiquette is that one shouldn't classify people as "Rossi-ite" or any other type of label.
FWIW - I'd venture to say that ECW does allow skeptical polite posts so civil discussion is possible. I'm also posting here to ensure I'm seeing the most diversity of opinions.

At least it will help keep this forum in business

This time is different in the sense that we should be ramping up to see multiple customers in the relatively near future, rather than just one shot customers who are doing long-term testing. We might assume he migrated away from the MW plant to develop the new versions. 5-10 years for a new technology isn't much in the big picture. I'd like ask the moderator to censure you for trying to label me or others, simply for wanting to see more evidence before drawing a conclusion. Isn't that the scientific method?
In the event he is a con man he's a scientifically more intelligent one than most. We could try the exercise of putting probabilities on this. Even if it's 10-50% of being real it's worth the time to follow it based on the benefit. More of the edge things in science and technology should be given every opportunity to show their worth. There's enough internet bandwidth (and venture capital) to get the information out and a reasonable debate about new ideas.
-
Not quite right. Refereed journals will reject manuscripts if the findings are not novel. But then they will also reject works that are so novel that the evidence does not back up the claims. It is a line that has to be walked.
I think sometimes with very novel things the reviewers aren't familiar enough with the topic to render a good judgement so there is some bias to reject new ideas or ways of doing things. Science is after all a human enterprise. Thus for learning about more radical ideas we have to look beyond what is (so far) formally published if we want to be on top of new developments.

We'll see Deleo - it will be interesting. This does seem to be the first time he's publicly advertising the ability to make sales with 2 week delivery.

What, exactly, would prove to you it's a scam?
Good question - perhaps the lack of a customer who can verify the device within a year or so. This is hard to say exactly since Leonardo is still purportedly kind of a slow start-up company that isn't quite yet claimed to be ready for high volume production. Also a good question as to what the rationale would be for customers to keep this a secret, except for not wanting attention. We should ask Rossi how long this process of "discovery" will take, he did say it will "resolve itself".

Indeed it is! Still selling the 1MW plants as well and no mention of the Skat Cat! Why?
https://ecat.com/ecat-technology/ecat-certificate
Please note this paragraph on the document, from Rossi's own website. :
"This certificate relates soley to the above identified prototype machine within the limits of the request for voluntary testing of essential health and safety requirements relevant to Annex I of Directive 2006/42/EC. The certificate does not constitute a "product certification" and cannot, in any way, be used for commercial purposes and / or advertising by the company on whose behalf the certificate was issued."
Here is a link to Annex I Directive 200642/EC
https://osha.europa.eu/en/legi…iament-and-of-the-council
So if Rossi is claiming the SGS cert is his "industrial certification" he is clearly deluded or simply lying.
1) He is selling in the US and the directive is not an approved US standard.
2) The SGS document itself clearly states that it cannot be used fro production nor ADVERTISING!. So Rossi is breaking the document agreement here already!
3) The SGS document to directive 2006/42/EC is only for general safety of external controls. It does not apply any heating process, nuclear or not. No radiation monitoring included in this.
As usual, Rossi promotes fantasy. However, his acolytes, instead of reading and admitting to the facts, will conjure excuses and twist interpretation to cover their chosen leaders damning faults.
Read the links if you doubt the above. Still want to hitch your wagon to Rossi's horse? Sure is giving you a lot of credibility.
The reason I seem so adamate on this is that I really want to see "Cold Fusion" succeed. Cold fusion has been given enough of a black eye by main stream science (in some cases) and news media following that lead. The Cold Fusion community needs to police itself and weed out the cons and scams. Those in the most visible and active positions need to be vocal on this in my opinion. They need to carry the yoke of being above reproach and professional. No "dancing" in science. When they instead refuse to critique or in the case on this forum, out and out support Rossi, it only further damages the field. Mainstream will tie all of Cold Fusion in with Rossi. Do you really want your legacy tied with his?
I sure as hell would not. It is absolutely without question that Rossi is a lying fraud and con. Has been his seemingly entire career. Truly remarkable that some still ignore the prodigious amounts of fact to cling to the minute hope that he chanced across the scientific discovery of the century.
I doubt waiting longer to see is really destructive to my legacy (if that even matters) or even to cold fusion in general. I'm at least I'm willing to give my full name. I'm open minded enough to realize it may be a scam, yet I like to hope just a bit on this (since it hasn't been proven to be a scam) and other LENR efforts. We know that the history of science has eccentric inventors and paths to realization. I hope this forum will have a good natured exchange of facts and opinions on both sides until more info comes to light.

You don't get it do you? Rossi has never had a real customer for anything he has ever made. He's had investors and distributors and while a few lucked out and got refunds, most ended up screwed out of varying amounts of money including millions of dollars in return for absolutely nothing-- or in IH's case, in return for a merit-less and very expensive lawsuit. Rossi has claimed "customers" since 2011 and never produced one. You seriously think he is going to start now?
I appreciate that the lack of information with a private entity and IP rights, and Rossi's history can allow for skepticism. Still it doesn't take too much effort for me to wait a little longer and see. There's a limit to how much all of this can progress without things becoming more public, as Rossi himself recently acknowledged.
At a minimum he has some interesting scientific rationale in his recent paper. I can sympathize with the notion that refereed journals tend to reject new things.
-
The SGS document is right on the Leonardo Website. I'm unsure how easily it can be found elsewhere.
-
We'll know soon enough about all this when one of the customers will speak more openly. Rossi has addressed this question and claims this will be happening.

We have provided more information on this in our privacy policy.Rossi says the heated fluid connections come in/out of that done thing at the top. They presumably go off to a heat exchanger in the ducts of the office being heated.
My calculation is with just a liquid water heat exchanger and a temperature change of 50C, the amount of water needed would be about 0.1 kg/s. This would comfortably fit into the samovar/piping.
Rossi actually mentions it uses steam at 600C, so this would call for a heat enthalpy calcuation, and allow for about a factor of 10 lesser rate of water usage.
