I just wondered if they were verified to be empty. I ask because the report makes no mention of this (among other things). Obviously the Faraday cage argument is sound, so some tricky mods would be necessary. I realise this sounds far-fetched, but I am addressing all the loopholes I can think

Electrical INPUT is a two-edged sword. It can be measured to 6 decimal places .. IF you do it correctly, but if you don't cover ALL bases you might miss something. (eg an AC-only meter might not notice DC, or HF AC beyond its spec). I've come to the conclusion that the only way to overcome

I doubt that Rossi would allow a power conditioner, because he himself states that there is some initial RF powering going on to kickstart the device. Since the experimenters walked up to the experiment after it had been turned on, we don't know for sure whether the existing cabling was used to
