>Joshua, >based on our constructive discussions re testing the E-cat I have sent the sketch of a protiocol for this experiment to Vortex.but you have not noticed it and have not commented it any way- even not "I ma not interested more" Because I think such experiments are important- here it is again. I gave a pretty detailed description of the sort of think I think would be persuasive -- equivalent to the Wright brothers' 1908 demonstration. The problems I have with your protocol have already been mentioned: 1 - it requires quantitative measurements of flow rate and temperature and therefore trust in whoever makes them. If that's to be the case, then some method of choosing the observers needs to be in the protocol. And that could be difficult for reasons Lomax gave: serious skeptics would be unwilling to waste time or risk disapproval in getting involved in something that may turn out to be an obvious scam. I think it's much better to heat a large container of water with no inlets or outlets; 1000L seems like a reasonable amount. Hot tubs can be purchased pretty cheaply. 2 - I think the impact would be far more dramatic without any input, regardless of how carefully it's measured. As I've said, this not only makes the effect more obvious, but in practice, a device that needs input is just a slightly improved heat pump. Not revolutionary at all.
