Question: If skeptics really do not believe that something is possible, then why must they fight so hard to defend reality from such an ill conceived notion? Especially when something like cold fusion clearly could not be believed for long if funded and embraced and it turned out to be entirely

Open letter to Hanno Essen: As you may realize by now, I assume, you erred in your original work with Mr. Kullander when you assumed that a humidity meter could measure steam quality. Water under the bridge, or under the steam space, as the case may be. Who would have thought about liquid water

This discussion makes no sense to me. As far as I know, when you add DC to AC power, you get a DC bias. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_bias It is still alternating current, it just does not go as far down as up (or vice versa). Any power meter set for AC will measure this correctly. A DC

It depends of the magnitude of the DC in relation to the AC. If the DC bias was equal to the AC peak voltage, then the current would not reverse. And the peak voltage in the biased direction would have doubled. Doubling the voltage quadruples the power, also the DC component could be much
