There are many other fruitful approaches and good experiments. Rossi and Defkalion were the only ones who claimed to have scaled up. It turns out they only scaled up mistakes. A gigantic mistake is still zero. The scale of an experiment has no bearing at all on how good it is, or whether it will lead to a practical source of energy. Real discoveries are perfected on a lab benchtop scale before anyone tries to make a big device. The only exception I know of is the tokamak plasma fusion reactor which supposedly does not work on a small scale. It does not seem promising to me.

They know much more about calorimetry than Rossi does. Rossi never published any results, good or bad. Not a single graph or set of numbers. His demonstrations ranged from badly done amateur tests to ridiculous tests. The first set of tests by Levi were pretty good but the Lugano tests were a waste of time. Forget about Rossi. - Jed
