There is no need to measure precisely, but they should measure accurately. Otherwise there is no telling whether it is 1.1, 4.1, or 0.6. Believe me, I have seen big, impressive, noisy machines that seemed to producing input output ratios and kilowatts of excess . . . that turned out to be 0.6. You can always screw up a measurement, especially when you do things the hard way with phase changes and no confirmation that the steam is steam. So there is no chance they will hear your advice so soon. > Oh, they have heard this. From me and from others. The question is, will they act on it? If they did not confirm the flow rate, the results are meaningless. They might have confirmed it. I did not watch the entire long version. If I had been them, I would have made confirmation of the critical parameters of calorimetry the main theme of their prime-time presentation during the conference. - Jed
