I'll introduce myself briefly to this ongoing discussion by saying I've been watching this debacle for some number of years, in the background and not interacting with anyone on this, (or any other), forum.
I have an interest in this subject and claim no qualification(s) in this field. I do however have a few qualifications in relation to Electrical engineering and Electronics.
The continual sparring between the 'believers' and the 'sane' is fascinating so I thought I'd contribute? to the ongoing discussion !
There is a continual reference to 'Power' which is the real reason I decided to type anything here.
To me, 'POWER', is merely the rate at which energy is converted, (usually measured in Joules.....). It gets under my skin when I see the use of the word being applied to measurements which can be quantified as units of ENERGY.
This misnomer is annoying, whereby, parties wanting to see 'Power input Vs Power output' are really looking for ENERGY input/output data.
For instance, if gasseous Hydrogen is being applied at pressure, the applied pressure would add to the final resultant output energy, thus, providing the illusion of gain when only comparing electrical values, (resistance, potential difference and current (sink/source))/TIME Vs thermal output.
Yes, I could be deemed as nit-picking but I do believe that if those involved in arguments applied the correct terminology they would certainly appear to be a bit more 'clued-up' regarding the fundamentals.
Flouting the laws of Thermodynamics with the apparatus A.R. has developed seems like a long shot to me as, when looking at previous attempts by A.R. to 'measure' anything, the methods used are comical !
Meanwhile, there are even those who will go to the lengths of 'disassembling water pumps to ensure no hidden thermally active components' are present....
I'll not even begin to touch on, 'robotised production lines' and such like as it just gets too funny !
That type of mindset is very reminiscent of other energy crackpots like Searl, (it took off and flew through the roof!), McCarthy & Orbo etc.
It just beggars belief that there are apparently some people out there with, (apparent), qualifications that buy into this charade and even believe in it.
I'll eat my hat if there is any quantifiable, meaningful measurements at/in this upcoming 'demo', or any future ones either.....lol !
