In retrospect, Penon was a poor choice. The test proved beyond doubt that the device does not work. I repeat: IT DOES NOT WORK. There is no excess heat. At no time in this test did the device show excess heat. You could watch it for a half hour, or you could collect 6 months of data and you would reach the same conclusion. *It was not working*. I.H. knew that. I knew that. If the ERV sincerely did not know that, he is a world-class idiot. The ERV's analysis as described by Rossi and summarized in the data given to me is absurd. It is possible the reactor was producing a little excess heat at times, but the instruments were so bad you cannot be sure. Fortunately, I have heard that I.H. experts were able to do a better analysis. I have no information on how they did that, so don't even bother asking me. I am taking their word for it. I am merely speculating here, but I suppose they used proper instruments. Anyone could fix the problems and do proper calorimetry. They urged Rossi to do that, but he refused. - Jed
