I'm surprised you can put your clothes on by yourself in the morning. You can, can't you? PS: dead people can't sue for damages nor can anyone on the behalf. Not to mention that I am not releasing any of Papp's sordid records because I never saw any. I am not even reporting facts about Papp! I am simply reporting an anecdote about what someone told me. Hear say. Also you seem to have lost track and wandered into the wrong thread. Anyway sue me. Give it a try. I am terrified.

Hi Mary! I had not realized you had a new account. What happened to the old one? Was it banned? You seem to have all sorts of problem maintaining accounts. I am sorry to see this.

You should not be terrified Mary. You know I will always be there for you, calorimeter in hand. Please come back Mary. I miss our calorimeter ANalysis sessions. They were so much fun!

Quote from Zeus46

No joke, I had a vivid and highly memorable dream about Mary last night - I woke up genuinely terrified and relieved to be awake (and thankfully without facial bite marks).

I was debating writing a full account of it, but ultimately it's far too dark and malevolent to recount in public... Proper Nightmare on Elm Street stuff. In fact, now that I mention it, there were some amusing parallels to certain aspects of those films, [Um, nope I was thinking of The Candyman...] however, I still don't think we need that level of insight into my psyche.

Pray do tell! I would very much enjoy reading about it. If you feel it is not suitable for a public forum then please PM me. Thanks.

Roger Barker,

Nope, she was her a few days back and also wished Peter Gluck all the best on his blog. Don't worry man, "a bad sixpence always turns up".

JB

Thanks. We're all concerned about Peter. Nice of Mary to wish him well.

Quote from Rigel

Roger,

Use the search function she is around. I am not sure why you started a thread for this, maybe it was a mistake?

The last post from Mary was months ago.

Hi everyone!

Roger Barker here. Just wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts of Mary Yugo. I have not seen her/him for quite a while.

I hope Mary is OK.

Roger

Some say I'm barking mad but I'm just a sucker for Mary!

Hi Mary! Great to see you back and posting. It feels like you never left on your Christmas break. Hope all is well with you. I've had a bit of a cold. Been sniffing and slurping a lot if you know what I mean.

BTW, how did you find those calorimeters I sent you? Did you put them to good use?

Quote from Mary Yugo

@Bob

I doubt anyone serious actually considered thermite for the reasons stated above. The easiest ways for Rossi to cheat are to induce mismeasurement errors -- for example with misplaced thermocouples (we know he did this for sure with the heat exchanger device he demoed to Lewan) and probably with the original test Levi conducted on the oldest ecats. There are also flow meter tricks with the liquid cooled ecats and of course, emissivity errors with the hot cats tested with thermal cameras. Finally, there is the cheese video trick with the modified power input wires and probably other tricks and manipulations we have not guessed about yet. Rossi is clever and since he obviously has nothing, he can spend a lot of time calculating and testing the best ways to cheat.

The whole mess is getting old and the legal case moves at a snail's pace. I never thought I would say this but Rossi is getting boring. I also find little interesting any more about the rest of the claims for LENR. BLP/Mills is a joke.

Have no respect *ever* for a supposedly high energy output device that requires a power or energy input nearly comparable to what goes in, or is not independently and competently verified. Same with any experiment which does not include blanks and calibrations.

Ignore those precautions and you will be fooled again and again... for example: Shane. It is just dumb to accept at face value what the inventor or proponents tell you.

Measurement errors! BLP/Mills! Misplaced thermocouples! Lewan! Such a wonderful summary Mary! I have not heard you mention these terms and names since your last post Don't forget for tonight's session the safe word is "Defkalion".

Quote from Mary Yugo

Virtually all senior officers leave internet traces due to changes in
command, promotions, decoration ceremonies and retirements. For one
SMALL example see: nimitz.navy.mil/csg_11.html
An illustrious colonel like Rossi's probably jailbird buddy, would be
mentioned somewhere! Obviously, they don't give personal details,
addresses and so on, but they are mentioned, usually often.

I agree with you Mary. Suppose I need to give you a BIG thumbs up for that. Illustrious colonel or not, a drenching is in order! Do you not agree?

BTW, what is happening with Defkalion these days and are you still using that big calorimeter?

Quote from Mary Yugo

@Abd: Other than Rossifiction, there is nothing to suggest anyone by the real name of "Fioravanti" and somehow acting for an anonymous *military* "customer" ever existed. Google has nothing about any such military officer. It's almost certainly just…

Agreed whole heartedly Mary. Nice to see you online. Do ping me if you want to have a chat.

Quote from Mary Yugo

Para, was that tongue in cheek or serious? My irony bone is worn through. Anyway, Google says: "No results found for "professor fioravanti" padova polytechnic." (or Polytech instead of Polytechnic) Either the professor or the university doesn't…

Hi Mary, I saw your post on FT was removed and you were threatened with a ban. I wonder why that happened.

Quote from zeus46

Abd, why do I get the feeling this story involved lots of LSD?

Quote from Roger Barker: “This is definitely one of the calorimeters Mary and the crw at ECN have familiarity with.”
Roger, I too am interested too know what inputs Yugo has, regarding…

If you trawl ECN you'll find many posts of her experiences with this calorimeter. All quite descrpitive! The design is ideal, length and width can be modified depending on the session.

I'm not overly convinced. The thrust is still small enough to be measurement errors. Also is 1.2mN/kW sufficient for anything useful? Is this scalable i.e. more power = more thrust? If it scales is it linear i.e. will 1MW product 1.2N of thrust?

I believe they have plans to stick this in space and see if run. If this works it will be way more convincing.

Quote from Mary Yugo

Rossi has always said that the "dummy" concept (blank runs and calibration runs without fuel) is dumb. Of course it is. If done properly, it would show that the ecats don't work.

A wig drencher of a comment Mary! I too agree that if calorimetry was used there would be conclusive proof of this.

Quote from Alan Smith

This one Jed.

Yes, that's the one. Used in many sessions by Mary and co.

Mary, can you kindly share your thoughts on using calorimetry for MFMP.”

As you may…

Hi, yes! This is definitely one of the calorimeters Mary and the crew at ECN have familiarity with. They've described its use in some detail. You will have to trawl through ECN to find the relevant sessions but I believe Popeye (Joshua Cude) and Mary had numerous sessions with this calorimeter. I was an observer in most cases and did not participate.

Mary, are you still in contact with Josh? If so can you kindly extend him an invite so we can get his input on this matter. Thanks.

Quote from magicsound

@ Roger Barker

Please define "proper calorimetry", keeping in mind that the cells we are testing typically run at 1000°C. The team at HUG built some very nice calorimeters for testing Celani-type cells, which run at lower temperature and power density.…

Hi, I am no expert on calorimetry but Mary Yugo is. She knows all about calorimetry. We've used them often in our fact finding sessions.

Mary, can you kindly share your thoughts on using calorimetry for MFMP.

Can I ask if MFMP have used proper calorimetry at any stage over the last 5 years?

Quote from zeus46

Mary often accuses people of "perseverating".

I have commented previously that I feel this accusation demonstrates a lack of self-insight.

Mary and I have perseverated many times. It is quite the experience. We used to perseverate a lot at ECN. It was what lead to a proper drenching.

Quote from Mary Yugo

They're officially dead and McCarthy is officially unemployed and by his own admission unemployable. He plans to earn a living with poker. Good plan! That should work about as well as Steorn did. About time Steorn joined Defkalion in ignominy. Can…

Hi Mary, I have a bit of a cold. Been sniffing a lot. Apologies for that.

Yes, McCarthy is a nasty one, isn't he? He conned many people and you bleated about it till your throat was raw but he still got away with it. Alas!

We need a proper forum like ECN where I got to share my odes with the other posters.
