Various threads have sprung up making it difficult to follow the Rossi
story.I propose we start with part 1 and add more as it gets too long.
Here is the best description of details of the 1 MW plant from Mats Lewan
https://animpossibleinvention.com/blog/
* All the instruments for measurements were installed, under
observation of IH and Rossi, by the ERV (Expert Responsible for
Validation) Fabio Penon, who had been communicating also with
Darden, receiving technical suggestions from him on this matter. All
communications with the ERV were made with both Darden and Rossi in
copy.
* The flow meter was mounted according to all standard requirements,
for example at the lowest point in the system.
* The MW plant was placed on blocks, 33 cm above the ground, to make
sure that leaking water or any hidden connections would become visible.
* The two IH representatives present at the test were Barry West and
Fulvio Fabiani (who worked for Rossi from January 2012 until August
2013, when the MW plant was delivered to IH in North Carolina, after
which he was paid by IH as an expert who would make the technology
transition from Rossi to IH easier). West and Fabiani reported to JT
Vaughn every day on the phone.
* Three interim reports, about every three months, with basically the
same results as in the final report, were provided by the ERV during
the test.
* During summer 2015, IH offered Rossi to back out from the test and
cancel it, with a significant sum of money as compensation. Rossi’s
counter offer was to give back the already paid 11.5M and cancel the
license agreement, but IH didn’t accept.
* The unidentified customer (‘JM Products’) using the thermal energy
from the MW plant, had its equipment at the official address—7861,
46th Street, Doral, Fl. The total surface of the premises was 1,000
square meters, of which the MW plant used 400 and the customer 600.
* The equipment of the customer measured 20 x 3 x 3 meters, and the
process was running 24/7.
* The thermal energy was transfered to the customer with heat
exchangers and the heat that was not consumed was vented out as hot
air through the roof.
* The water heated by the MW plant was circulating in a closed loop,
and since the return temperature was varying, due to different load
in the process of the customer, Rossi insisted that the energy
corresponding to heating the inflowing cooled water (at about
60˚C) to boiling temperature would not be taken into account for
calculating the thermal power produced by the MW plant. The ERV
accepted. (This was conservative, decreasing the calculated thermal
power. The main part of the calculated thermal power, however,
derives from the water being evaporated when boiling).
* He also insisted that an arbitrary chosen 10 percent should be
subtracted in the power calculation, with no other reason than to be
conservative. The ERV accepted.
* IH never had access to the customer’s area. At the end of the test,
an expert hired by IH, insisted that it was important to know where
the water came from and where it was used. The ERV explained that
this had no importance.
* The average flow of water was 36 cubic meters per day.
* At the end of the test, the ERV dismounted all the instruments by
himself, in the presence of Rossi and IH, packed them and brought
everything to DHL for transportation to the instrument manufacturers
who would recalibrate the instruments and certify that they were not
manipulated.
* After the test, IH wanted to remove the MW plant from the premises
in Florida, but Rossi would not accept until the remaining $89M were
paid according to the license agreement. Rossi’s and IH’s attorneys
then agreed that both parties should lock the plant with their own
padlocks (as opposed to the claim by Dewey Weaver—a person
apparently connected to IH, but yet not clear in what way—that ‘IH
decided to padlock the 1MW container after observing and documenting
many disappointing actions and facts’).
Mats also adds Rossi and his Swedish partner Hydrofusion have made an
offer $3 – 5 million to buy a 10,000 sq.ft factory there, where Rossi
says he intends manufacture 500,000 QuarkX reactors per year.Difficult
to see why Rossi would spend this kind of money if the E-Cat didn’t work.
Mats says he has “been in contact with people with insight into the MW
report, that hopefully will get public this summer as part of the
lawsuit, and they told me that based on the contents, the only way for
IH to claim a COP about 1 (that no heat was produced would be to accuse
Penon of having produced a fake report in collaboration with Rossi.
Nothing in the report itself seems to give any opportunity for large
mistakes, .”
IH have made a rather vague statement about not being able to duplicate
Rossi’s results.Jed claims he has data that shows the 1 MW plant had a
COP = 1 and the E-Cat has never worked.
Sifferkol claim Tom Darden apparently told the Chinese the E-Cat has a
COP 3-20 when he visited there.
I find it strange the IH could not find a customer for Rossi’s plant in
a year, leaving it for him to find a customer.Possibly this is the basis
for Sifferkol’s speculation the plan was to buy Rossi’s IP for $11
million and not have the 1 MW plant work, saving $89 million.Obviously
the problem is IH can’t duplicate the E-Cat and don’t know about the
E-CatQuarkX.
The saga continues.
