I revised the H2 flow measurement part already. The first report I will upload today is by Melich. This week or next we should have one by Prof. Levi. These people are busy, which is why it took so long for them to give my report the once-over, and even they overlooked the part about weighing

I uploaded that to the News section. I was tempted to add: "Hey, Richard Garwin: here's your cuppa tea, big guy!" I will soon upload a more detailed description by Mike Melich, and I hope I can add Prof. Levi's report. I think it is all but certain these results are real. They cannot be a mi
