Every magician has a props man, and I guess Fulvio was good at his job.

SSM: The answer is yes if it really has an electrical COP of 20 or no if its just in Rossi's imagination.

Many thanks for that valuable information Dewey.

Hi Dewey,
Is there any chance you know how the alumina cement was applied over the heating element? It seems from photos that it was manually applied with a profiled spreader to create the "cooling fins". If this was so then the recesses in the alumina would offer near zero filtering to emisions from the heater. This would also explain the odd banding visible on the unfueled dummy reactor. -
I suspect the electrons coming out of the quarkx are not compatible with those required on the input. Creating a new type of electricity is just a mornings work for the amazing Rossi

I think Dewey is talking about a vent in the roof of the building, not the container.

Something like this. quARC

Hi Dewey,
Well I can't say I'm surprised, I've seen better pressed steel car sumps than those reactor casings. Even the bolt holes looked hand drilled by eye. Do you know what was used as a gasket? -
From the photos, it could well be insulated on the underside. Also there's no reason to suppose it was surrounded by water, that could have been slowly fed into the casing creating steam but also controlling the cool down of the core.

I see that Fig.17a which originally showed a different helical element wrap has now been touched up.
-
Unfortunately, all looks fake, very much like a movie set, all wires and pipes going nowhere. Note the the old equipment labels in Italian, yes bet this was all done in Rossi's old industrial unit. The placement of the American bits and bobs in the photos is also too obvious. It's also pretty clear that guy with the iron has only soldered about 6 joints with that new soldering station that's only just been switched on for the first time. As for IH, I predict Rossi will announce a parting of ways quite soon, hence the new look site.
-
I also think it important that the resistance of the heater elements be known. Was this measured and if not, can it be calculated from logged data?

Looking closely at the photos it would seem construction is a tube with the heater wires wrapped around in a triple helix (3 phases). This assembly seems to have been covered by an Alumina paste applied in much the same way as tiling adhesive hence the ridges caused by the plastic applicator. Whilst testing and especially during the removal (by cutting) of the 'ash' you must have gained a great deal of insight as to the physical construction of the reactor casing and heater. It would benifit the report by including at least a simplified diagram of the physical construction and how the 'fuel' was loaded, ie was it in a container or just poured into the tube.
-
I'd like know how the reactor was opened and how the ash was extracted. Is it a coincidence that the reactor is double ended and symmetrical, thus allowing the old trick of inserting one thing in one end (fuel) and removing something completely different from the other (ash). This would of course require some sort of partial or complete obstruction half way down the tube depending of whether the fuel was inserted in powder form or in some sort of enclosure.
My other concern is the calibration of the power meters. I note they were checked for voltage accuracy, but how about current. If the meters were interfered with, the obvious approach would be placing attenuators on the current clamp inputs since voltage input is fixed and would be easy to spot.
Were these meters supplied from the same source as the previous test?
The issue raised by Mith about the translucency of the alumina shell could be easily checked by powering up an empty reactor tube. It would not be an unreasonable request to test an empty reactor.
