I for one would be very interested to hear a lengthy critique of the above presentation by the self-proclaimed "World Class Expert in calorimetry", Mary Yugo.

There are more specialised cases involving fortified wines, but when making table wine I know of no system which deliberately halts the reaction using 'chemicals'.
Some wine yeasts will naturally ferment out to around 18% before they are inhibited by the alcohol level - but the wine would be too dry to the taste. So you can add sulphite salts to stop the yeast finishing off all the sugars. It will say 'contains sulphites' on the label. -
Those are actually questions I have faced and addressed for about thirty years on-line, starting as a moderator on the W.E.L.L. I'm not new to this!
I'll bet a large sum that you have been banned from more forums than you have moderated...In one place I was accused of being a sock puppet of Jed Rothwell
I once saw you described as being "Jed's Dungbeetle"! -
SI would be 7Ws/s

Confusing units for energy and power is a hallmark of the silliest pseudoskeptics...
5 kWh is a measure of energy, just like Rubiitpower said.
Any sensible person would realise they mean 7Wh/h... Not 5kW (*power* not "energy")
Mary, sometimes I think you are bamboozled by your knee-jerk scamphilic behavior routines.

I think Peter is imagining that in a closed hydraulic system, pressure will be uniform. That is correct when there is no flow.
...Only on Planet Lomax.Edit: Never heard of P=ρgh, Malcolm?

Plenty of calcium stored in the hens bones as well.

OK, you make a lot of good points, as always. I agree precise communication is important, but sometimes difficult over this medium. In hindsight maybe 'COP~1' may have been preferred.
Regarding 'needling', the word makes me think of bursting balloons, or maybe deflating overblown egos, although saying that in itself could also be perceived as needling, in a way, which is not my intention.
I'm waiting for MFMPs take on the Lugano question, after all, they did what those interested in the real figures wish they could have done... Build a replica ecat, heat it up, and point an optris at it.
No doubt there will be plenty of meat for discussion... Which might reduce the recent levels of petty squabbling. (Which some/most of us - yes, even you Abd - seem to secretly enjoy)....

That said, this TC guy did also say that Lugano could be as low as COP 1.
That is certainly an implication of TC's published report, encompassed in the conclusion that COP=1.07 +/-30%.
But Clarke's statements above from ECN are different. They (as Alain also notes) explicitly state that COP=1, with no error bounds, or scientific thoroughness. Just COP=1.
This appears to be Clarke's opinion about Lugano, and he is free to offer his opinion to whoever.
THHuxley in his comment above seems to be denying that Clarke has offered such bold opinions, despite them being pointed out previously, at the link I included.
In fact, THH argued about their meaning, for some reason, (perhaps not liking the implication that Clarke let his guard down and revealed his bias), but I personally think those COP=1 statements are very clear, and speak for themselves.

The data available cannot say COP=1 (unlike what TC say)

@Shane. I hate to be so blunt, but this is a lie. Rossi’s demos have gone from claimed COP=100 to claimed COP=3, and we know that the 3 is really 1. (26/12/15)Thomas Clarke wrote:

I have routinely seen miracles.
We would often rather die than become something else
I've been able to accomplish miracles
I face death, literally, and laugh.
If anyone is interested, I will describe the Infusion Institute plan.
One imagines it might involve a 'conference' in Guyana, and some Kool-aid?

I've no idea whether that memory is correct. But, given it is correct (and I don't specifically doubt you) that is not the point.
It is the point; you stated that to your knowledge TC never described himself/his review as "expert", and demanded substantiation or a retraction (on behalf of TC).
My memory was correct. I found the link, and I am now able to substantiate it for you, if you still feel it is important. The difficulty was caused by TC changing his name, and making the comment under his new identity, but fortunately a bug in the forum software was able to reveal the link between the two.
For what it's worth, I agree with Clarke that his was an expert review of Lugano. I have played around with his python code in order to make some direct comparisons to MFMP's optris vs real temp data (essentially calibrating his model), and his effort was by far the most accurate estimation of the ecat's performance, including those of the original Lugano authors and Higgins' (apparently) initial work.

They use that term differently in the US to the UK...

I cannot remember TC describing himself as an expert.
I definitely recollect him describing his own work as "An expert review of Lugano", but unfortunately I can't seem to find a link right now... I'm sure it was round here somewhere!

Neutrons are easy to make simply by subjecting a material containing D to sudden shock. Simply hitting LiD with a hammer will make neutrons. This is well known and proves nothing about LENR. However, in all cases, the total flux is trivial and has no application.
Is the mechanism behind this understood?
I tried Googling for an answer, but didn't really get anywhere...

Maybe you Italians
Shane, that's probably the sixth time you've referred to P's country of origin, (which he never does) then followed it up with a stereotype about Italians.
What gives?

They were not convincing. Dennis Cravens did the best job of this, on two occasions.
Presumably one demonstration you refer to was NIweek2013. What was the other one?

Not for a computer only used for reading websites and watching pink unicorn porn.
Maybe you can send me some new links babe.

Zeus, you wouldn't know evidence if it bit you
Well, I can recognise both Bill Gates' signature and peoples' sarcasm...May be we are observing atmospheric LENR in action?
Yugo: "The evidence you cite is just as good for unicorns or fluorescent ghost wildebeests".
So I'm at least two steps in front of you.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/hea…y-way-catch-dementia.html
just as it made no difference whatever that Darden believed Rossi and got roundly bamboozled by him.
So why are you wasting your time writing endless posts on the subject? -
I have no idea whether Gates invested in Duncan
