I looked well enough. As I surmised you have zero plant and operating
experience.
In your recent comments you continue with ad hominems and I understand
the meaning of that phrase very well too.

I have a PhD in Physics. My original field of expertise was
astrophysics and in particular gravitational waves. Half of my
dissertation was on astrophysics of neutron stars (so I know 1 or 2
things about nuclear reactions) and the other was on improving signal
detection of gravitational waves detectors. I come up with a new way
of using resonant bars to increase signal to noise ratio. This second
part of my dissertation was mostly engineering.
I have taught physics at the college level (a lot of my students were
engineers) , won NASA grants to send stratospheric payload (again
mostly engineering problems) and continued to work on data analysis
for the last 25 years.
I eventually switched field and went to neuroscience. I'm a researcher
at Northwestern but I work in the modelling and data analysis of EEG
that is an imminently physics and engineering problem.
I have a patent pending invention that is based on Phase Locked Loop
that again is an engineering problem. I'm writing papers on applying
thermodynamics principles to neuroscience. I'm also launching my own
startup in the field of neurostimulation.
So I may not have experience with industrial engineering but as you
see I have plenty of qualification to evaluate some basic physics and
engineering issues. In fact, many of the problems with Rossi
statements can be evaluated from an introductory physics point of
view, no extensive experience in any particular field is necessary.
I resisted to use my qualification to respond to your question simply
because I really resent when people use their so called experience to
win an argument on the internet without addressing the substance of
the argument raised. It is really bad form.

The only Giovanni Santostasi I saw on Google was an associate
neuroscientist at Northwestern University working on sleep
disorders. If that's you, you appear to have no relevant
experience regarding the 1 MW plant.
Knowing you disbelieve anything I write, here is a published
footnote at the end of my paper on Cleaning up the Nuclear Waste
at Hanford. I will send you a photocopy of the last page that
shows it if you send me your email address.
"Footnote
Adrian Ashfield is collaborating with Larry Penberthy in this
project. He previously headed engineering for Canning Town Glass
in the U.K. Domglas in Canada. Anchor Hocking and Wheaton
Industries in the U.S. before starting Ashfield Associates in 1981."

A link to a CV or linkedin takes a second. Not acceptable answer
that you did this on the past.
You are using your claim of experience right now.
What is your real name?
It is you that is using arguments from authority. Mine stand on
their own.
And as I said, you can google my name and see what is my
experience in science and technology. I'm 100 times more
transparent than you are.

Can you back up your claims to have such expertise?
Thanks,

"Ad hominem" attacks. To quote a famous immortal scene
from the "Princess Bride": "You keep using that word. I
don't think it means what you think it means".
I didn't attack anybody at hominem. I didn't put down
Penon not to have a PhD.
I simply stated that Rossi saying he has a Doctorate is
not true and that is at least sloppy and probably
misleading.
It doesn't reflect negatively on me at all.
So let me reflect this back at you given you don't
understand what ad hominem attack is and instead you are
using your supposed experience to make an argument (and
trying to disqualify my arguments too as a consequence)
and therefore committing another known fallacy , i. e.
"argument from authority".

Giovanni,
Your string of ad hominem attacks do nothing to
clarify the issues and reflect badly on you.
I find Dr. Levi's 18 hour test of an E-Cat in 2011,
without steam, finding a COP 15 -20kW peaking at 130
kW is good proof that the E-Cat produces
considerable excess heat. As I've said, the
performance of the 1 MW plant has yet to be proven.
Having headed engineering for large corporations and
later consulting around the world, doing due
diligence for organizations like GRI, EPRI, OECD and
the World Bank, I have considerable experience in
judging people and new technologies.
What experience do you have?
