Or just take the average -- R2 = 910W and round it up to 1KW The above makes no sense to me. Resistor wattage ratings are merely the maximum wattage that can be put though them without the expectation they will be destroyed.

This meter has in the middle a kind of star. Its spinning speed shows the water flow. Visually you can only rougly extimate the flow rate. They misured the average flow storing the meter reading at some interval time. With such setup it's very hard to extimate the istantaneous flow rate. It depends how ofthen they read the count of water consumed and this could be done only after because in this way the computer captures only images, not values that can be calculated right away. It's not very unlikely that, if for any reason the water pressure temporarly dropped, they could think of an unexplanable power peak. 2011/8/24 Jouni Valkonen jounivalko...@gmail.com 2011/8/23 Jed Rothwell jedrothw...@gmail.com: Along similar lines, the tests with steam do not produce such easily understood, irrefutable results. But the weakness of these tests does not call into question the flowing water test. It is kind of sad that Levi refuses to admit that he did poor measurements with steam tests, because he was not familiar with them and did not realize that when measuring total enthalpy from water boiler, water inflow rate and steam quality(sic) measurements are irrelevant. Only thing what is necessary for measuring enthalpy is to put the outlet hose into barrel of cool water. If he had realized this, then there would not be any arguments left. But it was Levi's mistake, it is unfortunate, but it was a mistake. But this mistake by Levi, also disproofs all criticism by Ekström, Krivit, etc., because Levi (et al.) had all the might to do it right way, but they failed with the experimental setup and continued to measure irrelevant variables such as water inflow rate. Therefore Levi is not the only one whom to blame. Also 18 hour test had wrong approach to the experimental setup. It would have been much easier to measure the enthalpy from steam and hot water. Only requirement was to have large enough cooling water reservoir that can be replaced on flight. With this kind of setup, water inflow rate would be irrelevant and it can be variable and only thing what is necessary to measure is the ΔT of cooling reservoir. I think that Levi might have good reasons not to publish all the details, if data is not very good. This is not surprising, as his method was very crude and it did not allow good measurements. But I think that his argument about the difficulties of making it properly is out of the proportions, because we are not making detailed analysis of Ni-H cold fusion, but only are measuring anomalous heat. This is very simple to do. Levi did it wrong way and he should just admit it. It is not shame do it wrong, because people usually are not experts in every field. E.g. even for me to gain adequate knowledge to be an expert on this field, required to write many messages to Joshua and others. But this is called learning. And also gambling with very high stakes, because if E-Cat is a hoax, I have wasted lots of my brain power to nonsense.

(very very high level) scientist that are going to test the One Megawatt Huge Cat ? 2011/8/19 Jouni Valkonen jounivalko...@gmail.com Hallo, I stumbled upon in the internet a very simple method for doing extremely accurate (up to two or three significant digits, depending on insulation) calorimetric analysis for any water boiler. Method is simple and all measurements are accurate: – Just weight 5 kg water into bucket. – Measure the temperature of water. (preferred temperature is the same as inlet water temperature) – Put hot water/steam outlet hose into bucket for 5 minutes. – After the experiment, weight the water in the bucket and measure the temperature change. – To refine accuracy, after the experiment, observe for 5 min how fast 70°C water is cooling. This gives accurately the amount of heat outlet hose is carrying with steam and hot water. It is sad that Mats Lewan did not realize this simple to do calorimetric method. If he had realized this, he would have observed ΔT to be around 30-40°C and this would have spared us all from lots of excess heat generated in discussion forums. This is also strong argument that sloppy science in E-Cat demonstrations was not Rossi's fault, but those independent observers, such as Galantini, Levi, Lewan, Kullander Essén, could have just pointed out this simple and accurate calorimetric method, if they had been smart enough. But instead Galantini, Kullander, etc. performed irrelevant measurements when they tried to measure wetness of steam, although it is well known fact that all water boilers on Earth produce ca. 98% quality steam (±0.015), in normal pressure. –Jouni
Re: [Vo]:Another Defkalion statement on PESN
To be honest would be better to say: *No one in the world holds any (working) E-Cat, even us, so far.* 2011/8/10 Alan J Fletcher a...@well.com At 11:05 AM 8/10/2011, Alan J Fletcher wrote: http://pesn.com/2011/08/10/9501891_Defkalion_Responds_in_Support_of_Rossi/ Andrea Rossi August 10th, 2011 at 4:02 AMhttp://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=501cpage=11#comment-60743 Dear Luke Mortensen: No one in the world holds any E-Cat, but us, so far. Warm Regards, A.R. Hard to well if it's actually conflicting with what Rossi as said (technically). How many angels CAN dance on the head of a pin? Defkalion could have submitted a system with a dummy core for Greek qualification (hydrogen system etc), but that seems a bit pointless. Rossi could have hand-carried a core to Defkalion, run tests, and then taken it way with him.
Re: [Vo]:Galantini report
At 1 he does not say what is cubic/meter. Instrument manifacturer says air, he says nothing, hoping to hide in this way the first and bigger error made in the measurement. With these basis, all the rest appears to me quite meaningless . 2011/8/8 Enzo sv4...@gmail.com http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3228358.ece/BINARY/Galantini+steam+report.pdf
