    i.o. portends to psychoanalyze the "true believers" -- his presence here being a sort of social experiment of the mind. He and others are 100% certain that Rossi has nothing. Yet, the only rational position by any measure at this stage is one of uncertainty until a device is in one's possession and measured by one's own measurement tools. Dismissal out-of-hand is the bane of modern science, and the cardinal sin of hot fusion scientists and their sympathizers toward the entire LENR field.

    Hi! Its been awhile. Nice to see that you haven’t dropped off the map altogether.

    We know the ultimate test, no?

    Let’s ask a child if it is probably a scam.

    "As part of the contract between the Department of Physics and Leonardo Corporation

    have been carried out some measurements of the performance and light emission ..."


    Obviously GL is not alone. A contract MUST be approved by the Department Council. UNIBO is with Paris Sorbonne the older campus of the world.

    If Rossi is going to tear down the oldest university in the world and Unibo goes happily along with it, then so be it. The lesson learned will only be the better.

    Tomorrow Rossi will turn on his lamp and it will shine light. His adoring minions will cheer. And then back to the blog. Gotta wait for a few hundred clueless souls to order a million lamps so they can be assembled at a condo full of imaginary robots.

    And when 1 million orders are not received it will be the fault of the Rossifans, not Rossi, that the world could not be saved with skleds and skleps

    Even the cheapest hotel clock radio from China has a valid certification, typically UL, CE and CSA. Otherwise they would be 3 dollars cheaper and maybe kill a few people somehow.


    Rossi, so far, has claimed certifications for things that were 100% unsuitable for commerce, besides illicitly transferring certifications from one company to another, and from one device to another in direct opposition to the certification purposes and intents.


    What he has and does this time remains to be seen, but his track record is not good.

    The CE mark may not, in principle, be affixed until the conformity assessment procedure has been completed to ensure that the product complies with all the provisions of the relevant directives. This will usually be at the end of the production phase. However, if the CE mark forms an inseparable part of the product, or of a component, for example by stamping or casting, the mark can be affixed at any other stage of the production phase, provided that the conformity of the product is verified as appropriate throughout the production phase.

    The question is, which direction is the pirouetting?

    Skeptics will see a counterclockwise direction.

    Believers will see it clockwise.

    (Unless you're left handed or upside down or have some unresolved issue or something.)

    Some have attained seeing both, yet not at the same time.

    I stared deeply, crosseyed, looking over my nose tip and had both Étoile counterrotating within each other like spiralling DNA strands...

    So, ultimately almost all of the dewar heat ends up in the water jacket. The thermal characteristics of the F&P dewar are primarily aimed at keeping the escaping heat in the bath and not letting it escape elsewhere.
    If I am not expressly doing calorimetry, is a graduated cylinder nearly submerged in water close enough for timing boiling water slowly experiments? Sure, the real dewar would be better, but it is not something I am likely come up with easily.

    Convection and conduction are minimal because there is a vacuum between the electrolyte and the water bath. Radiation dominates. There is a vacuum even in the "window" at the bottom with no silver (no mirror).


    Miles measured a little conduction with a cell that was made some years before his experiment. A little air had leaked into the vacuum portion of the cell. See p. 12.

    Ok, had a better look at this and see how it should work, which is fairly well.


    The spectral (and total) emissivity of borosilicate glass is fairly high in the IR range at room to 100 C, typically somewhere between 0.7 and 0.85, based on a quick review of the literature. If the slivering works well, at the un-silvered part of the dewar, the IR should jump the vacuum gap and be absorbed by the outer layer again at 70 to 85 % of the radiated heat due to matching spectral emissivity profiles (same material) and a lower outer jacket temperature (water cooled, conduction/convection). The so-heated inner wall of the outermost dewar wall then conducts the heat to the outside wall, which is in contact with the water jacket.

    The remainder of the emissivity, the 0.3 to 0.15 not accounted for by absorption, is almost entirely transparency, but for IR transmission to pass through to the outside of the apparatus, it must pass through the absorption band again (through the inner wall, then the outer wall) in order to leave from the interior and pass through to the water. 2.3 to 9%, based on the emissivity above, of transmitted IR might get through to the water directly from the cell. If any of the emissivity is affected by reflection at each interaction, then that will reduce the final transmission value and effectively become mostly absorbed heat (Each reflection between glasses being 70% to 85% absorbed, or even reflected back into the apparatus to start over again).


    The unsilvered dewar vacuum jacket outer glass cannot radiate IR any distance when in intimate contact with water of effectively the same temperature, instead the entire water bath enclosure collectively radiates any IR that finally escapes into the environment, (remember that it is also absorbing heat radiation at the same rate from the environment if it is the same temperature as the environment).

    Convection is minimal because there is a vacuum between the electrolyte and the water bath. Radiation dominates. There is a vacuum even in the "window" at the bottom with no silver (no mirror).


    Miles measured a little convection with an cell that was made some years before his experiment. A little air had leaked into the vacuum portion of the cell.

    Right, it would mostly try to convect near the cap.

    I would have to look at the emissivity of the glass at that temperature so see how well it radiates heat out, but obviously all of the heat gets out somewhere and the assembly functioned.
