I am just bring into focus what the theory of Rossi's case is...the
avoidance of the $Billion payment in licence fees. It has nothing to with
Rossi's tech not working. If IH claims that Rossi's IP does not work, they
will lose their case since their duly authorized agent who designed and
conducted the test certified that it does work and proved to his own
satisfaction that it does work.

The test produced clear-cut results. It showed that the machine does not
work. Those are contractual results. They give I.H. the right to terminate
the contract.

Whether it produces heat or not cannot be decided by nutty legal theories,
or based on the notion that I.H. wanted to throw away $11 million for no
reason, or by some similar lunatic notion. This question can only be

Yes. Fortunately, the public subsidies for solar panels are far smaller
than they are for coal or nuclear power. Imagine if we had to kill 20,000
people a year to make solar panels work! The public would be up in arms.
Nuclear power too costs far more than solar when you include the cost of
the Fukushima disaster.

The thing about the public subsidies for coal is that only poor people
living downwind of the coal fired plants pay them. Middle class and wealthy
people do not. If we could pipe the smoke into Atlanta, New York or L.A.
the coal industry would be permanently shut down in a few months.

The theory of the case is centered on the $Billion that IH would save is
they could somehow use Rossi's IP in their own products and that of their
OEMs but avoid paying 1 billion dollars in licensing fees.

This theory explains why IH did not care how the one year test was
performed because they never intended for that test to produce any
contractual results.

I have no idea. Let me speculate that they now regret to agreeing on Penon.

Anyway, this has no connection to calorimetry. You cannot go from this
strange decision by I.H. to conclude that maybe the test worked after all.
You can only judge the test by evaluating the data. Since you do not have
the data, you cannot judge it.

You might take my word for it, but I advise you to follow the motto of the
Royal Society, "nullius in verba" -- take nobody's word for it. Don't
believe Rossi, or I.H. or me, or anyone until you see the data.

What I strongly advise you not to do is speculate and speculate and build
castles in the air the way Axil does. You cannot judge calorimetry by
pointing to rumors about what people did, or what they may have thought, or
by imagining that I.H. would automatically do exactly what *you* would have
done in "the first few days" of a test that was going badly. You sure as
hell cannot judge calorimetry by reading the stream-of-consciousness
fantasy blather that Rossi puts out in his blog! I stopped reading that
years ago. I can confirm that back then when he was claiming production
lines were being set up, I fact checked some of his claims with people who
were working with him, and I determined that there was not one molecule of
truth to most of what he said. He makes stuff up!!

Stop right there. Even in these first sentences you have already made
unwarranted assumptions about events you know nothing about.

I know very little about these events, but as I said several times, I.H.
and Rossi disagreed. That I am sure of. I was hoping they would reconcile
their disagreements, and I gather I.H. also hoped so. They thought it was
wrong, but evidently they wanted to give Rossi every opportunity to make it
right and prove his point. That seems sensible to me. You say "IH would
have terminated the test within days of its start" as if that were a fact.
As if you were in charge! I wouldn't have terminated the test. I.H. did not
terminate it. So they disagree with you.

You should not speculate about things you know nothing about. You are
building castles in the air.

Re: [Vo]:Re: Cheap Solar Power (harvard.edu)

2016-05-13 Thread Bob Cook

Adrian--

$17,600 plus about $5,000 for roof replacement (it was 28 years old with 
three layers of shingles).  The design work was about 2000 and the panels 
and installation about 15,000.  It will take about 5 years to get my 
investment in the solar panels back.  The panels are warranted for 25 and 
the WA state payment is good at a decreasing rate after 2020 until 2032 I 
believe.  Each panel produces 275 watts at full sun.  On May 10 at about 12 
noon they were producing 4300 watts.   This seems like it was above the 
rated output which surprised me.  The cost included a internet bases 
monitoring system at $600.   After it is paid off, it should add value to 
the worth of the house depending upon the going cost of electricity from a 
grid.  LENR I hope will make it become nearly worthless, but in the mean 
time..


Each micro inverter is connected via a modem in my basement to a company and 
a computer that keeps track of the integrated production of each panel.  The 
monitoring serves as a continuous gauge of the health of each panel and the 
micro inverters.  One inverter serves two adjacent panels and produces a 240 
AC current synchronized with the grid.


There are two meters for the power generation that the Utility Co. installed 
for no added cost.  One monitors the total power production of the panels 
and the other monitors the net out put to the Grid and hence what I use in 
the house using some arithmetic .  At the current time I am producing about 
twice as much energy as I use in the house per day.  The house meter runs 
backward most of the time during the day and when I take power from the grid 
at night it moves forward.  The link to the grid is via the breaker box in 
my basement.


If the system works as reliably as my on-grid system in Alaska--now 16 years 
old with no apparent degradation--I will be delighted.

IF and when IH pays Rossi the 89 million, what does IH get? IH gets the
right to use Rossi's IP to produce and sell E Cat product in their
territory granted by the Licence.

IH cannot use Rossi's IP for anything as its stands now.

Can IH sell product that contains Rossi's IP that has been incorporated
into the product line of other vendors such as Brillouin?

How can Rossi identify his IP in the products of others that IH offers for
sale?

Can Rossi make an IP claim without that IP protected by a patent?

Can IH claim that Rossi's IP does not work and yet use it in products
produced by others connected to IH?

If Rossi's IP is used in other products from other OEMs, does IH need to
pay Rossi the 89 million?

Does IH need to pay Rossi 5% of the value of the selling price of the
produces from other vendors that include Rossi's IP in their products?

No, this is completely wrong in every respect, as I have pointed out many
times previously:

No one is pushing me.

There is nothing unnatural, implausible or unbelievable about I.H.'s claim.
Any person who understands calorimetry and examines the data will agree
with their analysis. If Rossi and Penon seriously believe there is 50 times
output they are both certified idiots (not just Penon).

As I said, several times, I have seen some of the technical data from the
calorimetry. Based on that, I am sure I.H. is correct, and Rossi is wrong.
I have also seen independent verification of this data from sources outside
of I.H., so I am sure it is real.

I know enough about I.H.'s "real position" regarding calorimetry to judge
this matter, although I look forward to learning more. I know nothing about
business arrangements or contracts.

I have enough information to judge these things with confidence. You, on
the other hand, know nothing about them. All you have to go on are Rossi's
assertions from his blog. These range from nonsense to impossible. The
information he already released in the lawsuit rules out his claims. If the
reactor were producing as much heat as he claims, he and the others in the
building would be cooked. They would be dead. In fact, it is not producing
any excess heat. If and when I.H. becomes free to publish the technical
data, everyone will see this, and you will see that Rossi has been playing
you for a fool.

[Vo]:European Physical Society Meeting LENR section needs you to sign up now!

2016-05-13 Thread Jed Rothwell
The European Physical Society will hold a cold fusion session if 40 people
sign up for it. So sign up if you are interested. The meeting will be on
July 9 in Leuven, Belgium. See:

https://kuleuvencongres.be/eps2016/scientific-program/satellite_meeting


*Proposed Satellite Meeting to the  43rd EPSMeeting on Plasma Physics
on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions ...*

After the media attention of the Pons and Fleishmann “Cold
Fusion” announcement in *1989,*  the activity in this field of research,
presently called Low Energy Nuclear Reaction or LENR, appeared to have
withered over the following years at least from the point of view of the
“main stream scientists”. . . .


The meeting aims to inform scientists outside the LENR field
about the history and ongoing  activity in the field. The meeting will
focus on the science of LENR while attempting to avoid gratuitous
extrapolations to commercial future applications.

*Venue and Registration*
The meeting will take place Saturday July 9th in Leuven subject
to having 40 or more registrations by May 31st, 2016. In case the meeting
is cancelled the registration fee of 100€ will be reimbursed fully. . . .

Bob,

How much did the 16 panel installation cost?

Adrian-

I also own 16 solar panels.  Since they were installed on May 4, 2016 I have 
earned about $100 for the energy I have produced.  The current power being 
generated is at  3 kw at 9:30 in the morning.  I should do about 25 kwh 
today at about $0.63 / kwh.  :)   With a $5500 tax credit or more, I do not 
expect to pay any Federal income tax for 2016.


Washington is a progressive state in spite of the local Congressional 
Repetitive of our Eastern Washington District.

"And, yes, I own solar panels."

I can believe solar panels show a return for the owner - with sufficient
public subsidies.

I only say that because people often settle out of court. Their lawyers may
advise them to do that to save money.


Rossi will never accept that it did not work at all.

Well, he might accept it in return for a large sum of money. If they do not
settle I gather the case might drag on for years, which would end up
costing him a lot. The details of the settlement would probably be kept
secret so he would never have to publicly admit that it does not work.

I have no reason to think they will settle. I have not heard that they
might. I am just saying settlements are common.

I agree.  There is too much assumption that harm created by pollution or 
radiation is perfectly linear, down to tiny amounts.  There doesn't seem to be 
any allowance for hormesis.   And, yes, I own solar panels.

Jed,

I think the numbers killed by power plants, at least in the US,are very flakey.
Likewise the number skilled by particulates from indoor cooking relies on 
models that are probably as bad as IPCC's models of global warming.  
I'm not interested enough to spend the time it would take to prove it.

I'll believe photo voltaic power is cheaper when I actually see it. For 
lighting with a cheap system remember the sun goes away when it gets dark.
