This is the third attempt to transmit this.
The isotopic analyses and contradictory claims about isotopic
abundances thus far make Rossi's claims look absurd. The theories
proposed do not match results. For example:

Focardi_paper.pdf
ignores the highly radioactive nature of the outputs.
Rossi's main claim of utility is excess heat. Yet no one has made
any effort at even very basic calorimetry measurements on the output.
Estimating heat output is really very simple to achieve, as I have
noted here before. Simply direct the output into an insulated barrel
and keep track of the temperature. If the output is in the form of
steam, pre-load the barrel with cold water and run the steam trough a
copper coil in the barrel and sparge any steam output of the copper
coil by releasing it at the bottom of the barrel. Stir the water in
the barrel. Measure the temperature change of the water in the
barrel through time. Direct the water output from the top of the
barrel to a sink, as is done now. This is chidren's science fair
difficult. All that is required is a barrel with a water drain hole
and fitting installed at the top, and maybe some insulation, though
even that is not required if a no-flow temperature decline curve is
obtained after the experiment. The thermocouple presently used can
be moved to the barrel. A stirring device driven by a low wattage
motor could be used, but the water could even be stirred by hand
periodically. Measure the volume of water in the barrel.
It is incredible that it could be expected that anyone would invest a
dime in this technology without the most basic and inexpensive
science being applied.
