Jed,
If indeed you have all the data (which I doubt) please post the much
requested layout of the piping.

That is bullshit. We have Rossi's data. We have detailed information
on this flowmeter, including the manual. These conclusions are
inescapable --
The pump is far too big for this application. A pump that registers 36
times per day is absurd.
The flow data is impossibly regular, as is the other data.
The flow data shows 36,000 kg/day and high heat on days when _Rossi
himself reported the reactor was turned off_. Would you like to
explain that miracle? How much "full information" do we need to know
that's impossible?
The pumps that feed the reactors cannot move as much water as claimed.
The manual warns you not to use it in a partially empty pipe.
The flowmeter is 80 mm in diameter (3"). The gravity return capacity
of a 3" pipe is 140 gpm:

Even assuming Rossi's flow rate was accurate (which is physically
impossible), Rossi reported the flow was 6 gpm, which is far less than
the pipe capacity, so the pipe would be mostly empty. Therefore the
flow meter cannot possibly work.
A mostly empty gravity return pipe looks like this:

Peter Gluck believes no such thing exists, but anyone who has used
pipes and pumps will know this is how it looks.
