In fact, this is the scenario that best fits the facts, > whether you like it or not. > Okay, so in the Feb. 10 test, input was 80 W and output was not 16 kW or 130 kW but 320 W (4 times input) the whole time. Is that what you mean? It was a factor of 50 error, and a factor of 406 at the apparent higher power. You consider this measurement error plausible. Which of the 4 parameters do you suppose were wrong? Or was it a combination? Do you think the flow rate was actually 9 ml/s and both the observers and the flowmeter mistook this for 1 L/s? It is hard to believe a flowmeter could be so inaccurate. You say that scenario "best fits the facts." Which facts do you have in mind? None that I am aware of. None of the items numbered 1 - 16 above are factual, as far as I know. You made them up. For example you said: ". . . Of course a part of the funds are in escrow . . ." and ". . . he has worded the contract in such a way that in the end a showing of strong overunity is the criterion – not the full 30-1 gain." There are no funds in escrow as far as anyone knows, and the only detail about the contract that has been discussed is that the machine should produce 1 MW. There has been no word about the gain. There is no harm in inventing scenarios but you should take care not to believe something that you yourself dreamed up on the spur of the moment. > There is no chance that the demo was done correctly in measuring P-out, as > Horace very accurately points out. > I disagree. In my opinion, Horace's assertions are no in evidence, to say the least. Any ordinary thermocouple or thermometer can measure a 5°C temperature difference with high confidence. Assertions to the contrary are not "very accurate" -- they are very strange. Also, the people who did the demo know more about measuring temperatures and energy than I do, and I suspect they know more than Horace does. Possibly more than you do. - Jed
