It seems Brian is revealing his curmudgeon characteristics. He is clearly frustrated and petulant that Rossi won’t give him the secrets of his e-cat master chef recipes. There are very good medications for the treatment of senile agitation these days.

Brian, Regarding the letter you asked Peter to circulate -- 1. (I pointed out spelling errors, now fixed. Except this one: ". . . for why the wasted . . . SHOULD BE: for why they wasted.) 2. You said "his suggestion of delaying the release until Stockholm . . ." I guess you mean Rossi made this suggestion. Where did you hear that? Did Peter report that? That is distressing. 3. You wrote: "The Lugano test in 2014 was perhaps the best magic show of the 21st century. Rossi convinced the Swedish scientists that thermocouples and water flow calorimetry were unnecessary to verify his claims." I do not think Rossi convinced them of this, because in the previous tests conducted in his lab they did use a thermocouple. I have heard that Rossi had more influence over those tests. I thought overall those were pretty good tests. See: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/LeviGindication.pdf The Lugano tests that followed were a step backward. They were much worse. Rossi reportedly had no influence, so it seems they did a better job when he played a role. I do not think water flow calorimetry would work very well with a device at this temperature. Mizuno has suggested that air flow calorimetry might be a good choice. 4. You wrote: "Yet he will not divulge: A. the ERV person, B. His location . . ." How do you know he will not divulge this? Have you seen the report? Maybe he does divulge all of this in the report. I have not seen it so I do not know. Perhaps you mean he has not divulged it yet. - Jed
