The reservoir was a fishtank, as I recall. They needed a fairly large volume of water because they had no cooler, and they did not want the reservoir temperature to increase quickly. It did increase, gradually. It would not have changed if only 5 W of heat had been going into it, and -- as I said -- the power supply could not have produced more than 5 W. My method was first principle. There is not the slightest chance it was wrong. Any theory proposed by Swartz or anyone else that claims it was wrong is sophistry and nonsense. I used a thermometer and two thermistors to confirm the temperature. In any case, the cup temperature as palpably warmer than the reservoir, and given the flow rate and 5 W input that would be impossible without massive excess heat. The Rossi demonstration is the most irrefutable one since that day with Patterson, and since Mizuno's cell went into massive heat after death. Skeptics and jealous rivals such as Swartz have invented countless reasons to discount these results. Skeptics once claimed that the water in bucket in Mizuno's lab might have been drunk by rats, rather than evaporate. I pointed that given the average water intake of a rat it would take thousands to drink that much, and I pointed out that cell was not only palpably warm, it was too hot to touch. What I said had absolutely no effect on the assertions made by the skeptics, just as what I write now will have no effect on Swartz. I expect he will soon attack Rossi with some nonsensical theory along the lines he attacks Patterson and me. Such people will deny, and deny, and deny . . . with a senseless, mindless avalanche of nonsense. It will soon begin with Rossi. Beware of that. Beware also of the personal attacks. I have been reading ad hominem attacks against Fleischmann, Pons, McKubre and the others for 22 years. On Wikipedia they even attack me! These attacks are often made by jealous rivals such as Arata and Swartz. Don't fall for them. - Jed
