It would have to be 130 kW, not 15 kW. A 130 kW power feed is a large, thick copper wire. You could only make a "tape" capable of doing that with room temperature superconductors. If Rossi has found a way to do that, that would be nearly as remarkable as discovering a stable, scalable cold fusion reaction. He would deserve the Nobel prize. Why would he hide this accomplishment or pretend it is something else? As you see in the photos, what you are describing is impossible. The machine is sitting on a separate block of wood, which is place on the table at an angle. The machine is raised above the wood with a clear gap underneath. There is no place to hide wires. The two metal supports holding the device up appear to be ordinary metal, not some exotic superconducting material, so they are far too small to carry 15 kW, never mind 130 kW. Also, as Levi noted in the interview yesterday, he poked around inside the device and saw that it was mainly Pb shielding. He would have noticed hidden wires. I think you can safely put aside this hypothesis. - Jed
