The press release says "Industrial Heat has worked for over three years to substantiate the results claimed by Mr. Rossi from the E-Cat technology – all without success." In his press release, Rossi says the gadget produces 50 times input. If that is true, surely that would be substantiation. Obviously the two disagree. > Just the beginning of questioning your assertions. > > You are not questioning any my assertions. You are asking questions about things I never said, and issues I know nothing about. When did I talk about people working on nuclear reactors? How would I know how many days they spent there? Ask Rossi! You made up this long list of imaginary claims that I supposedly said, and now you want me to answer them? I repeat, EVERY DAMN THING I SAID can be confirmed in the press releases and legal filing. I pointed to these sources again, and again and again. If you are not satisfied with press releases, I cannot help you. All I said was that the the two press releases conflict, and it is my impression I.H. knows more about calorimetry than Rossi. That's all. Do you understand what "impression" means? It does not mean I have their resumes in my computer. It means I have talked to them and they seem to know what they are doing, unlike Rossi. You can read about Rossi's problems with calorimetry in the archives here, such as his problems with NASA. - Jed

1. I think the judgment is based on one issue and that person has many sides that could be better. 2. No you do not have to judge. 3. Nobody said that your judgment has any quality. 4. Very few people are idiots - I do not believe one of those few got that kind of job. Good we agree as far as we know Rossi is a great inventor and entrepreneur who is difficult to deal with if you take him the wrong way. (Goes for many - me included.:) My point is that what is done so foar is just initial positioning. To listen to the positioning and make judgment is not very smart, Down the line we will see what is fowl and what is fish. What you say about Rossi and IH is what you know. I am fine with that. Your conclusion might be right, not because you have any information worth water, but because it is a multiple choice question (Only two possible answer as you phrase it. I think there might be many more - so I do not judge.)

Re: [Vo]:2nd "ERV" as well as being incomplete has obvious risks of being fraudulent.
Jed, regardless of what you think and believe, it is not fair to call someone an idiot because he made a poor job at one time in 2012. It is not fair to call someone a fraud because he made jail time and is Italian or because you find it hard to negotiate with him. No, repeating myself, there are no clear 'evidence' about the status quo. The different sides has spoken and left all pertinent and objective data out. That is typical for a lawsuit in the beginning. It means nothing. You indicate some relationship with IH that gives you access to better information. Maybe correct but it could also be their subjective position you are taken for valid. No, I have no idea if that is the case. Cease the name calling and realize you have no 'evidence'.

Re: [Vo]:2nd "ERV" as well as being incomplete has obvious risks of being fraudulent.
Dear Jed, I'm sorry if I missed this in an earlier exchange, but I'm very curious to hear your stance on this especially in light of the events of the last month. With all the information that you have been privy to especially over the last few weeks, what is your stance on the "Rossi Effect" - does it exist? Also, do you believe that he has been purposefully making fraudulent claims these past several years? Lastly, do you believe that he has ever been able to achieve a LENR in any of his tests either internal or external?

Re: [Vo]:2nd "ERV" as well as being incomplete has obvious risks of being fraudulent.
Hi all As to the supposed ERV 2 we have seen no proof it exists. In fact the first we hear of it is from Jed, who then starts to back-pedal quite a bit about it. I personally think Jed has misunderstood what IH has said perhaps under the instruction of APCO Worldwide as a spun story to trap the unwary, hence why I think Jed is back-pedalling the supposed ERV 2. Having said that from Jed we now know that contrary to what, various pundits/mouthpieces said that the real ERV exists and they are now back-pedalling the ERV 2 story. Why does IH not publish the Real ERV? We have seen the contract IH signed it clearly states that IH were paying half the cost of the ER and thus have as much right as Rossi to publish the Real ERV. However we now know that IH have had the real ERV, the one they co-contacted for, with people they agreed to running it. Instead we have the mouthpieces doing ad-homonym attacks on one of the person's involved in the ERV almost purely on the grounds he is Italian as far as I can tell. He was so qualified that IH spent over $10 million on his advice that they contracted him for but suddenly now his report means IH must full-fill their contract, the spinner's mouthpieces say he is no longer qualified or competent enough to write the very report IH co-commissioned from him; when the mouthpieces have never seen the report. It is not physically possible to describe something you have not seen. If you do then you have failed science 101 and the Galileo test for you have not put your eye to the telescope. On another point; and by way of admonishment. If you are going to report something in the future state the source and quote what they say, otherwise you will find yourself entrapped again and once again having to back-pedal the fantasy. A notebook or recorder is useful.

Dear Jed, Rossi explains why he does not publish ERV-1 now. But IH? If ERV-2 makes Rossi checkmate, why they do not publish it now - as a fatal blow, great ace in the dispute? It will be interesting to see how it demonstrates lak of excess heat for a complete year.

[Vo]:2nd "ERV" as well as being incomplete has obvious risks of being fraudulent.
Hi all Jed Rothwell is posting various comments about a supposed 2nd ERV. As described by Jed Rothwell this report has several problems. 1) First of all according to what Jed Rothwell reports it was commissioned solely and apparently secretly by IH with obvious risks of bias. 2) It breaks the contract, there was an agreed team and an agreed format for the ERV contractually agreed and paid for by both parties. 3) By Jed Rothwell's own post it seems the report is at best partial and by its clan-destined nature likely to be flawed. Why IH are open about this and other aspects worries me greatly. These are just my first thoughts. I am sure that others as well as myself can see the very obvious risks IH are taking in pursuing their current course. Kind Regards walker
