I will say that sources outside of I.H. confirmed that the calorimetry is badly done. This sounds plausible to me, because Rossi's previous tests were terrible. You may recall his last public test of the 1 MW reactor, with the video webcast. It was absurd. It proved nothing. None of the critical parameters were reported. There was a gigantic external diesel powered generator producing who-knows-how-much input power. As I recall there were no flowmeters. The "proof" consisted of a few sheets of paper written by some retired military engineer saying: "everything looks great except a few of the cells are leaking." Was that guy a licensed HVAC engineer? Did he perform the standard, legally approved ASTM boiler test procedures? We have no idea. Think about how simple it would be to produce rock-solid test results that any HVAC engineering company and any court in the world would accept unconditionally. Now, ask yourself: why didn't Rossi do that? (The ASTM is the European version of the ASME, http://www.astm.org/) This showed that Rossi knows how to do a gigantic impressive looking demonstration that proves *nothing*. On March 10, I.H. more or less announced that he did that again. I was hoping for a better outcome, but I was not surprised. I honestly have no doubt I.H. is telling the truth. I realize it is difficult to believe someone could make a mistake by a factor of 50. But if you look at how sloppy Rossi has been on the kilowatt scale, and in his 1-day megawatt test, I think you will understand how he might make similar mistakes on a giant scale. Scaling up does not ensure you get the right answer. Defkalion also did large scale tests that turned out to be wrong: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/GamberaleLfinaltechn.pdf - Jed
