The issue would be whether or not this report was an "endorsement."
Ah, that report. It does not sound like an endorsement to me. They are
saying that if the report is real, the discovery is important. Who can
argue with that? Their only endorsement is the report they wrote after
they saw the machine.
What I see is Kullander and Essen believing what they were told, and
reporting it as fact.
In their technical report? Surely not.
I'm puzzled by something, by the behavior of Kullander, Essen, and
Lewen. There have been some serious objections to their prior reports,
such as the apparent assumption that a relative humidity meter can be
used to measure steam quality, and the neglect of the possibility that
water overflow would be occurring, could actually be expected --
unless some feedback mechanism is operating, which involves varying
power to exactly match the allegedly constant water flow -- but they
have not responded or clarified their observations or possible errors.
There are not serious objections. They are nonsense. If the water were
overflowing the temperature would immediately drop. Whether you can use
humidity meter or not is irrelevant. The heat of vaporization at 1 atm
was measured before such meters were invented, it has not changed, and
it does not vary enough to make any difference to Rossi's conclusions.
The high temperature and the steam coming out of the end of the hose in
Lewan's video prove that the water is being vaporized. People here who
claim that you can produce extremely wet steam at these temperatures
with 20 times less enthalpy than regular steam should prove that. They
will win a Nobel prize and revolutionize chemistry and physics.
The silence of Kullander and Essen is then used by Rossi, who is
claiming that these "university professors" have validated his work.
Are they being silent? Or have I just missed more recent comments?
I have not heard anything from them, but I doubt that they are aware of
the comments here. If I were them, or Rossi, I would not respond to such
nonsense.
