Re: [Vo]:1 MW of heat in a 6,500 sq. ft. facility without industrial ventilation would be fatal
Jed, if I understand you right the world is full of idiots and scammers and potential jailbirds. All technical skepticism you have been provided are done by people without common sense. You obviously have more information than anyone else (only from IH?) and that means your opinion is the one that makes sense. Although you do not say which info you have. You just say others are a little stupid or full-blown idiots for even questioning your statements. It is a wonderful world. It is totally surrounded by mirrors.

Re: [Vo]:1 MW of heat in a 6,500 sq. ft. facility without industrial ventilation would be fatal
I accept your claim that 1MW in an un-ventilated, insulated room would be fatal. But that is not the case : a 30,000 CPM is sufficient to ventilate it, and there is a fan (of similar dimensions to one particular example) on the roof. (Plus convective loss, which would reduce the need for ventilation). Rossi presented no calorimetric data to Lewan (see my separate thread), except to note that he discounted the heat needed to bring the return water to boiling point. Rossi filed his contract with IH with the court. See sections 3(c) and 5 Rossi says (and will presumably produce in court) that IH agreed to the ERV's technical specification and procedure (with modifications they requested). Rossi says (and will presumably produce in court) that IH and JM signed off on a strict separation (double-black-box) policy. There is NO evidence at all that ERV Penon is "Rossi's" man.

The roof has one circular roof fan at the left, and a rectangular box at the other. Presuming that the manufacturing area was was adjacent to JM's offices (on the left) the left-most circular fan vents the manufacturing area. Heres the fan : http://lenr.qumbu.com/steampics/160521_fans_01.jpg ( 7 pixels) And a small car (6 feet wide). http://lenr.qumbu.com/steampics/160521_fans_02.jpg (10 pixels) That gives the diameter of the fan as about 50 inches. Here's a 32,000 CFM roof fan that fits (49 inch outside diameter) : http://www.industrialfansdirect.com/IND-FA-R-B/LFI-RD42T3750CM.html Conclusion : allowing for heat loss through the ceiling, 1MW can be safely dissipated by a fan of this size.

Re: [Vo]:Re: Anyone can "steal" IP from a patent
It seems to me the doctrine of u nconscionability could be used by IH in their defense although it would be inconsistent with their claim of having performed due diligence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscionability << Unconscionability (sometimes known as unconscionable dealing/conduct in Australia) is a doctrine in contract law that describes terms that are so extremely unjust, or overwhelmingly one-sided in favor of the party who has the superior bargaining power, that they are contrary to good conscience. Typically, an unconscionable contract is held to be unenforceable because no reasonable or informed person would otherwise agree to it. The perpetrator of the conduct is not allowed to benefit, because the consideration offered is lacking, or is so obviously inadequate, that to enforce the contract would be unfair to the party seeking to escape the contract. Unconscionability is determined by examining the circumstances of the parties when the contract was made, such as their bargaining power, age, and mental capacity. Other issues might include lack of choice, superior knowledge, and other obligations or circumstances surrounding the bargaining process. Unconscionable conduct is also found in acts of fraud and deceit, where the deliberate misrepresentation of fact deprives someone of a valuable possession. When a party takes unconscionable advantage of another, the action may be treated as criminal fraud or the civil action of deceit. For the defense of unconscionability to apply, the contract has to have been unconscionable at the time it was made; later circumstances that make the contract extremely one-sided are irrelevant. There are generally no standardized criteria for determining unconscionability; it is a subjective judgment by the judge, not a jury, and is applied only when it would be an affront to the integrity of the judicial system to enforce such a contract. Upon finding unconscionability a court has a great deal of flexibility on how it remedies the situation. It may refuse to enforce the contract against the party unfairly treated on the theory that they were misled, lacked information, or signed under duress or misunderstanding; it may refuse to enforce the offending clause, or take other measures it deems necessary to have a fair outcome.

If the planned operating temperature was around 100C then I'd sure put into the specification a measurement of the steam quality, or a measurement of the pressure to ensure that it's not in the wet/dry range. If I were IH I certainly wouldn't have given the final decision directly to the ERV, without an appeal/audit option.

Why do you assume there were no tubes taking the heat through the ceiling. Even in the 10/28/2011 1MW there were. And indeed, there was a model of fan similar to the smallest model displayed on the site you gave the link. At least that I could see in the video by Mats Lewan. 2016-05-21 16:37 GMT-03:00 Alan Fletcher: > And that's assuming the air is vented directly from the machine to the > fan.

People should apply some common sense metrics! Rossi says the facility is 6,500 sq. feet. Conventional heating calls for no more than 20 BTU/sq. ft. in Florida. That's 130,000 BTU. 1 MW is 3,412,142 BTU/h. So that is 26 times more heat than normal heating would supply. More to the point, it would not be thermostatically controlled. It would be turned on continuously. If you turned on 26 times more room heating furnaces than normal, and left them on at full blast, obviously the room would soon be too hot for a person to survive in. Your assumption that all the power used by the customer's plant must end up in heat in the room is not valid. A quick search of J.M Products Corp indicates that they are in the chemicals business - wholesale and _manufacturing_. I am not a chemist but I would guess that there are plenty of endothermic chemical reactions that would absorb heat energy to change one set of chemicals into another. Much the same as a hectare of crop absorbs radiant heat from the sun to change water and CO2 into stored energy which is then trucked away to market. My guess is that some process they are using to manufacture useful chemicals not only converts heat energy into chemical energy (which then exits the building by truck), but that this process also contains some confidential know-how that the company does not want their competitors to find out about. So this would be a perfectly good reason why they would rather not have smart people getting a good look at exactly what goes on in their chemical manufacturing process and so wrote that condition into the contract. After all it _really should be possible_ to accurately determine energy transfer by measuring temperature and flow rate at the single inlet (specially since Rossi discounts the lack of heat in the return pipe). Also the amount of heating or cooling that an area needs depends entirely on the temperature in neighboring volumes and heat leak rate to or from those volumes. Thus in a large-area multi-story building the central zones _always need cooling_ even when outside air is cold and the perimeter zones need strong heating to cope with the heat loss through the outside walls. While it may be valid in very simple cases to estimate heating or cooling requirement from _floor area_, in general this must be useless because for a factory which runs 24/7 hardly any of the heat is lost through the floor (once it reaches equilibrium), but rather through the walls and ceiling - which must depend heavily on their level of insulation and whether neighboring volumes are temperature controlled or not.

Re: [Vo]:1 MW of heat in a 6,500 sq. ft. facility without industrial ventilation would be fatal
Jed, If, as likely, the output of the E-Cats was not much above 100C, one would need some provision to ensure there wasn't excessive water carry over. Indeed without that the whole system might fill with liquid. Until shown otherwise I expect that was done. I also expect the steam to be wet in this circumstance and for accurate calorimetry some provision would have to be made to measure the wetness.

He says the output was 1000 kW and that was 50 times input, so the input would be 20 kW. I cannot vouch for that. He did not describe how input power was measured. However, looking at the machine, the temperature in the equipment shipping container, and considering the smaller prototypes, ~20 kW sounds about right to me. This is also roughly how much heat the calorimetry shows was released by the machine and the cooling loop. The calorimetry was dreadful -- the error margins were huge! -- but after correcting for Rossi's idiotic mistakes it was about 20 kW. (Maybe these were Penon's idiotic mistakes. I wouldn't know.) Experts say they have done better calorimetry, and confirmed there was no excess heat. I have no knowledge of the details. I have only seen Rossi's data and methods.

[Vo]:1 MW of heat in a 6,500 sq. ft. facility without industrial ventilation would be fatal
Once again people have claimed you can release 1 MW with no ill effects in a small facility, without industrial scale ventilation. People should apply some common sense metrics! Rossi says the facility is 6,500 sq. feet. Conventional heating calls for no more than 20 BTU/sq. ft. in Florida. That's 130,000 BTU. 1 MW is 3,412,142 BTU/h. So that is 26 times more heat than normal heating would supply. More to the point, it would not be thermostatically controlled. It would be turned on continuously. If you turned on 26 times more room heating furnaces than normal, and left them on at full blast, obviously the room would soon be too hot for a person to survive in. If there were large scale ventilation equipment in use, you could release this much heat. If the heat is real, the I.H. expert who insisted on access to the facility would have been able to verify there was a large duct and fan, and he could have measured the air temperature and flow rate using a conventional HVAC anemometer. This would augment the calorimetry performed on the reactor itself. Rossi's calorimetry was abominable, so it needed to be augmented. - Jed

Let me partially repeat the reasons for your convenience. I suggest you address them, honestly, instead of dancing around the issue and making absurd excuses for Rossi. 1. Rossi himself in the interview said that the I.H. expert insisted upon seeing the customer side. Surely you realize that this is a reasonable request, and that any expert would insist on it. Agreement or no agreement, Rossi should have acquiesced. It would have instantly proven his case. It would instantly resolve all doubts. There is no rational reason to deny this request. 2. Whatever they agreed to, it is common sense to alter an agreement in response to a reasonable request. I cannot imagine a more reasonable request than this, or one that would better serve Rossi's own purposes -- assuming he is honest and he actually has 1 MW. Opening the customer site would have as many advantages to Rossi as to I.H. . . . 3. Rossi is not a reliable source of information. . . . 4. Apply some common sense. Ask yourself: what other reason would Rossi have to refuse admittance, other than the fact that there is no 1 MW machine, and no ventilation system or other means of getting rid of the waste heat? Can you propose ANY reason why an honest person would hesitate to open the door? - Jed

Now that statement looks very misleading unless you have some evidence that Rossi lied about it being IH's written agreement.
