I need to add that a calibration run with an electrical heater supplying all the heat also provides very valuable information about the heat capacity and time constant of the system. And finally, if hydrogen (but nothing else) is omitted for the blank run, any chemical reaction or other

There are actually some technical difficulties with a blank run in the Rossi E-cat. Wet cold fusion researchers sometimes have used H2O in a blank run, and compared evolved heat using D2O with the blank output. If the D2O produces a heat measurement value higher than the H2O then they can
