I know nothing about his technical claims. He threatened to sue me if I discuss his papers so I have not read them. I seldom read his comments. I cannot make head or tail of most of them. > > Anyway - I have always opined that excess heat was there, but doubted the > high COP level only – not the excess. > Oh yes, this is always what you said . . . as of 10 minutes ago anyway. Except for, I don't know, THIS and a dozen other messages like it: Are you blind – or you are not listening? There is a massive problem. Ahern is an expert with pyrometry and high temperature measurement. A pyrometer is the only way to test high temperature accurately. The IR is completely deficient in this situation. Ahern was doing this kind of testing as far back as when Rossi was operating the Petrodragon scam. No one would ever use an IR camera in this situation unless they have the intent to deceive. Especially when the IR camera was NOT PROPERLY CALIBRATED. If the camera had been calibrated to 1400 C instead of 500 C it would have shown the same ~3.5 OU on the dummy load as was later seen on the active load! The fact that Rossi would not permit calibration to 1400 C is fully indicative of the fact the he knew this would be discovered before it ever got off the ground. Anyone reading that would assume you think the entire experiment was fraud. That's what you said, and that is what you meant. That is what we were talking about when you said Rossi is playing me like a harp. I have only discussed calorimetry. I have not said anything about the mass spectroscopy and I have no opinion about it. So obviously we were not talking about that. Also, I was the first to point it was not properly calibrated. Anyone can see that. - Jed
