Betreff: Re: Aw: [Vo]:About measurement of steam with Galantini probe

Now what happens, when an inventor without deep knowledge and experience
constructs a steam device, makes it unaccessible and then lets unexperienced
scientist measure the steam?
Most scientists expect that devices that they use are properly constructed
and work as designed because they know nothing else.

Some questions for you and other self-appointed experts here:

How much deep knowledge and experience do you have? How many steam
devices have you constructed? Have you done calorimetry on this scale?
What do you know about Galantini's background and his previous work?

You are presumptuous.


I do repair professional devices and had contact with many professors and doctors in chemical labors using our products. I have experiences with chromatography devices (with the electronic sensors,and computers, not with the chemistry), and with microparticel measurement devices and with continuous flow devices. All these dont only need calibration, fresh calibration is sometimes needed before each measurement. I have no experience with steam measurements, but was reading a lot in the last time and I learned that this are heavily nonlinear problems with many variable known and unknown parameters and it is too easy to make mistakes and too easy to fool others with such measurements.


Yes, so true. I speak from experience too when I say it is very easy to fool yourself. I've done it many times. It is important to work at least as hard disproving your own results as obtaining them.
