I wrote: I think this refers to the Jan. 14 test. What Rossi is saying here is that they left the reservoir on a weight scale (as you see in the photos), and they measured the total reduction in weight over the course of the run. This method is as good as collecting the output flow. Okay,

Dear Jed, In most European languages (e.g. German, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish) 100,000 mg means actually 100.000 mg and vice versa. It is the English language that is in this case the odd one out, which causes sometime hilarious conversions! B.t.w. Rossi would otherwise probably have

From Mark: Rossi: No radioactivity has been found in the residual metals, it is true, but the day after the stop of the operation. In any case you are right, if 59-Cu is formed from 58-Ni we should have the couples of 511 keV at 180° and we never found them, while we found keV in the range of
