Jed, as you have pointed out, Mizuno calibrated out the heat due to the pump operation. That should be enough to end the skeptical responses unless they contend that it is not possible to calibrate in that manner.
I have shown quite simply that the original measurements of yours as well as theirs are close to what should be expected. It is left to the skeptics to explain where that kinetic energy ends up if not within the holding tank. Also, if they believe that my calculation of the kinetic energy of the accelerated water is inaccurate they should show why. This is fairly simple physics.

Let me point out again that this entire discussion is irrelevant for two reasons, which I clearly explained in the paper, starting on p. 24: 1. Mizuno measured the heat added to the system by the pump. There is no point to appealing to a theory or hypothesis about how much heat there may be when it has actually been measured for 18 hours by running the pump only. 2. It makes no difference how much heat is added to the system by the pump. Whether the temperature goes up 0.6°C, or 6°C or 10°C, and whether this temperature represents a half watt, or 5 W, or 10 Watts is completely irrelevant. The pump is left running all the time. Therefore all of the heat from the pump is in the baseline temperature of the system. Mizuno measures from the baseline to the terminal high temperature at the end of the test, just as the temperature begins to fall. He does not measure from the ambient temperature. I wish the people writing these critiques would spend a few moments reading the paper, but they never do. I am not even going to bother adding these remarks to the latest paper. I am busy. If someone here would like to, feel free to add these points. It is a waste of time, I think. - Jed
