Even if calorimetry established there was no excess heat, the thermal anomaly would survive. All claims of excess of heat (including P&F's) are based on observations of thermal anomalies plus the hypothesis that the storage of input energy is either irrelevant or impossible. There has never been an energy audit that proves the effect yields more energy produced than all the energy used through out the *entire* history of an experiment. quoting Mckubre <<In 2009, Michael McKubre concluded from his attempt to duplicate the "Fleischmann-Pons Effect", that there is "heat production consistent with nuclear but not chemical energy or known lattice storage effect".>> from the wikipedia page on Martin Fleishman. In other words, the possibility of "unknown" storage effect has never been ruled out. Harry
