According to a slide presentation given by NASA engineer Michael A.

device produced excess heat from a nuclear energy source.    According
to Nelson, a NASA engineer who investigates low-energy nuclear
reactions and space applications, Rossi did not run his demonstration
long enough to prove his extraordinary claim.At the Sept. 22, 2011
LENR Workshop at NASA Glenn Research Center, Nelson explained that
Rossi “would need to run [his experiment] for eight hours or more with
a small E-Cat and much longer for an Ottoman [Fat-Cat] to rule out a
chemical reaction.”   According to Nelson, it would take “three or
more days for a small E-Cat, two or more weeks for an Ottoman
[Fat-Cat] E-Cat and several months for a 1 MW plant.”

Any idea if anyone has received the entire NASA LENR presentation? I've been 
checking their website 
(http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/sensors/PhySen/research.htm) for some time, and it 
looked promising:
 Tests conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center in 1989 and elsewhere 
consistently showed evidence of anomalous heat during gaseous loading and 
unloading deuterium into bulk palladium. At one time called “cold fusion,” now 
called “low-energy nuclear reactions” (LENR), such effects are now published in 
peer-reviewed journals and are gaining attention and mainstream respectability. 
The instrumentation expertise of NASA GRC is applied to improve the diagnostics 
for investigating the anomalous heat in LENR.

But, you can see that they haven't posted the presentation from the 2011 
colloquium, leaving only this placeholder:
Relevant Presentation:   Download presentation given at a LENR Workshop at NASA 
GRC in 2011 [available soon].

That is quite a hit at Rossi's claims, since NASA believes that chemical
reactions could not be ruled out.

But it's interesting that they didn't point out other problems, such vapor
problems and energy COP. The question is: they just didn't bother trying to
figure that out because it was an obviously chemical reactions or they
couldn't find other issues?

they got from Piantelli.


And if they really had success with own experiments in sustained

It's not at all hard to understand.  Rossi claims multiple orders of 
magnitude higher output than anybody else can get out of a LENR system.  
And that is why NASA, and everybody else, needs him (assume his claims 
are correct).

It is not reasonable to draw the conclusion that NASA believes that a chemical 
process might be used within Rossi's device.  They are merely pointing out that 
it would take a very long time to absolutely rule out that possibility.

The entire empty volume of a shipping container?  Since the energy

One must always think logical. Getting no conclusion is without purpose. 
Always look which conclusions do /really/ arise and from this formulate 
further questions.
It is reasonable to draw the conclusion, they have not seen evidency or 
positive results and they know nothing.
From this the question arises, why do they continue to speak about this 
why do they waste their valuable time?


Might be their motivation is neither technical nor scientifical but 
political?

A serious motivation could be to protect their own knowledge and research.

2011-11-10 Thread David Roberson

I may be incorrect, but I suspect that Rossi has never conducted a long term 
experiment in public because he does not have a controller that functions well. 
 Everything that has been observed during the public demonstrations has been 
manually controlled.  The self sustaining mode is merely a way to eliminate the 
need for a controller.  The driven mode would require feedback operation where 
the duty cycle of the power input waveform was controlled and/or the water 
input flow rate would need to be under electronic valve control.  To use 
feedback effectively, several sensors would need to be accessed.

Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via  E-mail.

In my banking department we discovered an abandoned sum of  
13,000,000.00 EUR (Thirteen Million Euros Only) in an account that 
belongs to one of our Foreign customers who unfortunately lost his life 
with his entire family on his way to the Airport of Bologna.


Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his 
next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his funds because we 
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as Next of kin or 
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.


We want you to come in as the Next Of Kin, all needed cooperation to 
make the claims will be given to you by us. If you are interested kindly 
let us have the below information and I will give you more details.


1. Full name

2: Your private telephone and Fax numbers.

3. Occupations and Nationality.

4. Date of Birth

5, Present Location

We are offering 30% of the total sum to you as our partner.

We will discuss much in details when I receive your response.

Thanks and good luck to us.

Best regards,

Mr. Marino.Ross

 Well said.


Indeed that could be a misspeak.  If there really are units in parallel
they would need to run the same time as a single unit for an effective
test.  That, however, is still a lot longer than this test was, IMO.

The real problem with the megawatt test is that nobody except the one
person Rossi said was the customer's representative saw the data.  Lots of
others were there and there could have been remote readouts in the room
they were required to occupy for most of the experiment.  But there weren't
any.   The generator ran the whole time and nobody but what may have been
Rossi's guy saw the readings.  None of the scientist and reporter observers
could vouch for either the amount of energy produced by the test nor for
where it came from!   It's hard to know why they were even there!

So basically, it's still all Rossi says.  I wouldn't expect NASA to get
into such fine and controversial details about Rossi's problems.  What NASA
basically said which matters is that they don't think Rossi's evidence is
adequate to believe he has a genuine novel production method for energy.
At least that's what I get out of the FOIA release and the slide.
