Even if this was taken at face value it would be impossible from a logistic

(using the most endothermic reactions known), coming in and out of that
small warehouse in a non-industrial area (without causing a complaint from

Horace, and some other skeptics, have a much more obvious mission:  
Try to "talk down" the LENR advocates who are totally hooked on Rossi 
at this point, before the whole field gets dug even deeper into a 
hole.  If Rossi has somehow fabricated the whole thing (and has thus 
totally fooled everyone who had a basic understanding of physics and

2016-08-20 Thread a.ashfield

Jed,
As you should know by now, as it has been repeated several times, the 
detailed manufacturer's literature shows that the flow meter works well 
at the actual flow rate.  Presumably the faceplate shows the boundaries 
for which the normal accuracy warranty applies.  As the flowmeter was 
calibrated by the manufacturer there should be no problem.


There is no evidence the pipe was only half full except for Murray's 
claim of "stains."  Apparently he didn't see the plant in operation.  It 
has been explained the drain only half emptied the pipe.  What is 
required is a detailed pipe drawing when an engineer can tell if that 
was a potential problem.  As Murray has failed to back up his claim with 
such a drawing or even a description and apparently lacks experience in 
these matters, I rate the ERV's opinion higher.

There i no known conflict between the ERV and manufacturer.

As for the 0.0 barG steam pressure, the superheater steam can be

lower pressure, maybe -0.2 barG on the outlet of the primary side
of the heat exchanger.

So what we have here are 10 months of the ERV's averaged input
water temp, flow rate, output superheated steam temperature and
pressure that seems to be more realistic than Jed's flow statement

"It was 36,000kg/day every day and it never varied".

They tried to do something, as you see in the Answer and in Exhibit 5.

Exhibit 5 shows the ERV's analysis that indicates the plant was
working very well.


Good grief! "Working very well" on what planet? The flow meter was the 
wrong size and only half in the water, so it was giving the wrong 
answer. The data for flow rates and pressure were blatantly false. The 
pressure was impossible:


"The steam pressure was reported (for the entire period) to be 0
kPaG and the piping is DN40. For steam to flow, a pressure
differential is required to overcome the losses in the pipe. Given
the foregoing, this would require that the pressure on the JMP
side of the building was significantly below atmospheric (vacuum)
and that the steam would flow at extraordinary velocity. But this
was obviously not the situation present at the location."


There was no ventilation equipment except for a broken fan hanging 
from the ceiling, so there could not possibly be even 100 kW, never 
mind 1 MW. The data showed 1 MW of constant heat production on days 
when Rossi, in his blog, reported the machine was half turned off, or 
fully turned off, and eyewitnesses confirmed this.


The arrangement with the "hidden" customer was lunatic, and it obvious 
the customer was completely fake.


And much else was wrong with it??? If this is your idea of "working

They were doing the opposite of showcasing it during the year-long test.
They were complaining about it to many people, including me. If they
complained to me and others, I think it is unlikely they were at the same
time bragging about it or showcasing it to potential investors. I say this
because:

It was inevitable the investors would have learned they were complaining,
either during the test, or after the fact. I did not discuss I.H.'s
complaints, but I know for a fact that several other people did. I think it
is inevitable that the investors would have learned that I.H. was unhappy.
I also think it is 100% inevitable that the investors would have learned
(or known all along) that the gadget was not working. Anyone who looked at
the data, the configuration, and the ventilation in the room would reach
that conclusion.

So, if I.H. had misled the investors, the investors would have learned
this, and they would have demanded their money back, or sued I.H.

Perhaps they will demand their money back, but it has been several months
since the lawsuit was filed, and they have not demanded it back yet as far
as I know, so I suppose the investors are satisfied.

For these reasons, I think we can rule out the possibility that I.H. used
the Rossi test to solicit funding.

the age old drama of the pot calling the kettle black.  That there is no SEC 
investigation of the affair and money men is revealing and suggests the entire

Good grief! "Working very well" on what planet? The flow meter was the
wrong size and only half in the water, so it was giving the wrong answer.
The data for flow rates and pressure were blatantly false. The pressure was
impossible:

"The steam pressure was reported (for the entire period) to be 0 kPaG and
the piping is DN40. For steam to flow, a pressure differential is required
to overcome the losses in the pipe. Given the foregoing, this would require
that the pressure on the JMP side of the building was significantly below
atmospheric (vacuum) and that the steam would flow at extraordinary
velocity. But this was obviously not the situation present at the location."


There was no ventilation equipment except for a broken fan hanging from the
ceiling, so there could not possibly be even 100 kW, never mind 1 MW. The
data showed 1 MW of constant heat production on days when Rossi, in his
blog, reported the machine was half turned off, or fully turned off, and
eyewitnesses confirmed this.

The arrangement with the "hidden" customer was lunatic, and it obvious the
customer was completely fake.

And much else was wrong with it??? If this is your idea of "working well"
what would be a fiasco?

You seem to be disconnected from reality.

Penon was asked about the pressure and apparently didn't answer according
to IH.  Some may disagree with me, but I would not trust the factory
calibration.  I think you need to calibrate within the configuration of the
plant.  You need to run it without fuel over the full range of temperatures
and flow rates as well as with fuel.  AR has never conducted a proper
calibration and this test is no different.

Also, that meter could handle a large flow rate.  There was no reason to
confuse the issue with steam at all unless it was needed to facilitate a
scam or those temperatures were needed by the mystery customer.  If the
latter, then he can prove his case by presenting the customer.

IH claims the plant didn't work in NC, but suddenly it starts working when
it is fully under AR's control in a different state.  If that is not fishy,
I don't know what is.  To my mind, either IH are lying or it doesn't work.
I think the chances or the former are minuscule.  The flow meter is a small
portion of the range of problems that could have already been answered.

Firstly, there is no point in speculating until there is sufficient 
evidence.  What I object to on this blog is the tendency for doubters to 
use vitriolic ad hominems.


At this point I don't have a lot of sympathy for IH.  They have had a 
year with access to the plant to figure this out and yet they wait until 
the test is over and Rossi takes them to court to start complaining?   I 
have no reason to think the ERV is an idiot or in Rossi's pay, as the 
facts will come out eventually.


Reviewing Rossi's earlier work again I see several examples where the 
test was done with a single phase and the excess heat more than could be 
accounted for by measurement error.   Yet doubters call for yet another 
a single phase test as if it would settle anything. Pathological 
skeptics would doubt the results if Rossi was in the same country.   
Rossi is right.  Only sales of working commercial reactors will convince 
them and that is what he is striving to do.

Re: [Vo]: Jed's flowmeter comments chanllenged.

2016-08-19 Thread David Roberson
It appears that the most likely explanation required to prove the experiment 
was faulty was to assume that mainly hot water was the output of the ECAT 
system.   If this is to prevail, it is necessary for someone to offer a 
reasonable explanation as to why no one observed this problem during the test.

Has anyone seen convincing evidence that steam was not the main product of the 
ECAT system?  The question about the pressure being atmospheric at the output 
port does not appear to hold water since this problem can be overcome by having 
a pump inserted within the output stream of the customers equipment.   I 
suspect most of us would agree that if the pressure was indeed atmospheric at 
the steam port, then vapor at 102 C would be relatively dry.

Why question the steam temperature and pressure readings if they were performed 
with calibrated meters?  Is this merely an attempt to explain away the possible 
excess heat?

There remains a valid concern about where all of the 1 MW of heat is vented.  
That at the moment, seems to be the main or only evidence that the system did 
not function as expected.

Jed,
You were "mistaken" about a lot of things.
1.  The was significant flow shown by the computer controlled pumps.  
Enough for a COP of 13 alone.
2. The steam was super heated at 102.8 & atmos. pressure, not just hot 
water as you claimed.

3. The flow was not constant for the whole run as you claimed many times.
4. You were wrong that the COP was 1.
5. It looks like the E-Cat works.

I know you will try an spin the above, but I'm not interested in taking 
the time to debate every twist.

Wait for the real facts to emerge.

I.H. did not agree. They said they did not agree in their Motion to

You mean the manufacturer is wrong. Not me. The manufacturer's face plate
shows the minimum flow rate is higher than what Rossi reported. You are
saying the manufacturer does know their own equipment. I doubt that, but
anyway, you should not ascribe their statements to me.

Sorry to confuse the issue with the facts again.

2016-08-19 Thread a.ashfield

There is a video recording too.
Jed and you are wrong about the flowmeter not reading below the rated 
minimum.  As has been pointed out before, it is indeed quite linear 
below that with a max error of 3% at very low flows, far below what was 
used.


It has also been pointed out from photos that the drain leaves the 
horizontal pipe ~ half full.  Given time and evaporation that might 
cause a stain.
Do try to come up with some new fairy tales to support your firm 
convictions, although I realize it is not as exciting as speculating on 
the origin of a plant photo on JM's business card.

As for the 0.0 barG steam pressure, the superheater steam can be
drawn through the piping and into the heat exchanger by a slightly
lower pressure, maybe -0.2 barG on the outlet of the primary side
of the heat exchanger.

That's a reading from the pump. Also, the photos show that the information
is wrong about the flowmeter, the type contained in the photos have much
more precision.
