Hello group, This got just posted on Daniele Passerini's blog: http://goo.gl/v2uqo

It looks like Brian Josephson will test an e-Cat module quite soon. He announced this on the CMNS list:
On October 6 we will have the opportunity to make a long (more then 12 hours) test of one of the modules of the Rossi 1 MW generator. The module will be opened to us and we will have the opportunity to verify volumes and weights of the internal components. Heat measurements will be done condensing all the steam produced in heat exchanger and a secondary circuit where no water will be vaporized. This is NOT an official test of the University of Bologna because the contract is not active yet. Brian Josephson
Andrea Rossi, who gave permission to Passerini to post the announcement on his blog, added this as a clarification:
The measurement of energy will not therefore be made on the steam, to avoid all the issues concerning the quality of the steam, but the measurements of energy will be made on the delta T of the water of the secondary circuit heated by the steam! This way, the amount of energy produced will be calculated in an undisputable way. The steam runs in a primary circuit, which is a closed loop, where the steam is condensed after exchanging heat with the water of the secondary circuit, which will never evaporate. Therefore, the energy is calculated on the base of the delta T of the heated water and its flow rate, indipendently from the temperature of the steam, that does not enter in the energy calculation parameters. Andrea Rossi
Cheers, S.A.
