I did not start with that idea. On the contrary, as you see in the quote from me ending Lewan's book, I started with the assumption that his claims are real. I now believe he is a fraud because his test was dreadful, there was no heat detected from his customer site, and there is no plausible reason why he would keep people out of the customer site other than fraud. > Someone will always come up with a scheme about how Rossi cheated on any > test. > The scheme is obvious for his 1 MW one year test. As I.H. described it, he used the wrong kinds of instruments in the wrong way. It was not subtle at all; it was blatant, in-your-face fraud. Or extreme stupidity. Take your pick. > Craig is right.

Any expert who does additional testing will see no possibility there was excess heat. All you have to do is measure the heat from the pretend customer site.

There was no measurable heat coming from the customer site, no employees seen going in there, no noise from it, and no inspections of equipment there. The customer was a blatant fake, owned by Rossi and his lawyer. - Jed
