As for the MAHG I can't seem to find the group, if you can locate either the post or the group that would be great.
 
It is a Yahoo Group: aH-gen
 
The archives are public, search for messages from George Holz. Apologies to George, whose name I often misspell... as well as my own on occasion. (the 'holtz in Helmholtz and others in science - is the problem and my spell checker cannot remember that)


He ran a dummy load test which came to the correct figure, I find it hard to believe that 20 COP times can become underunity, 10 times maybe he's out by an order of magnitude somehow but I can't see how he can be that far out so I'd love to see that post.
Basically it gets down to using a 5% duty factor (reciprocal of 20, of course) and multiplying this by both the volts and amps instead of only volts - (amps is an absolute value in this case) which fools you into thinking that you are using 20 times less power than you are. The mistake was picked up by others as well but Naudin never acknowledged it.
 
It is not that simple, however, and there is the possibility that there could be OU in the range of COP of 2.5 according to the initial experiments, which were done correctly.
 
I talked to Moller personally (thanks to VOIP) - and he is in denial, as well, about Naudin's gaff and his failure to rectify that - or about the other egregious error in the write-up: mistaking cal for Cal... This kind of error keeps getting repeated over and over... apparently even by German PhDs <g>
 
... not that there's anything wrong with the German higher educational system....

No, Naudin is not hoaxing - closer to needing a lesson in measuring P-in.
 
Read George Holtz's post on the 20x power measurement error made by Naudin. It is on the MAHG forum.
