Remarkable coincidence, if that's actually an exact 1, as in 1.00. > I believe they opened the tap and watched the flow meter needle, and when it reached 1 they stopped. That's how I would do it. It isn't an exact value. Water pressure in a large city in a commercial building is usually stable and the flow rate will not fluctuate much over 18 hours. They told me the rate was "3000 L/h" which is 833 ml/s, not quite a liter. These are approximations, as anyone can see. Even if they are wrong by a factor of 10 the excess heat is still tremendous. It is still far more than most cold fusion devices of this size produce. So I wouldn't worry about it, and I don't see why the exact numbers make a damn bit of difference. All of these arguments that it might be far wrong are: 1. Preposterous nonsense. There is no chance it off by more than 20%. 2. Totally unimportant. Who cares whether it is 1.6 kW or 16 kW?!? It makes no practical difference. It is like arguing whether Orville Wright flew 100 feet high or 200 feet high on September 17, 1908. There is absolutely no doubt he flew that day (look it up; you'll see), and it was high enough to negate the ground-effect, so it was definitely flying. Assume for the sake of argument it is 1.6 kW instead of ~16 kW. Going from 1.6 kW with a device of this size up to 16 kW or 200 kW is "only a matter of engineering." There are probably thousands of industrial corporate engineering teams that could do that. There is no doubt it can be done. Questioning that is a lot like saying: "Okay maybe Mr. Wright *can*reach 100 feet, but he'll never get up to 200 feet!" By the way, I sent them yet another message asking for more info, QUOTE: What kind of flowmeter did you use? What was the make and model? What was the inlet water temperature? You told NyTecnik it was 20°C, and you told me it was 15°C. Did you record the temperature with a computer? If so, please send the data or a graph. If not, did you keep a lab notebook and write down the temperatures periodically? In NyTeknik Levi reported that there was a large temperature excursion, up to 40°C. When did this occur, and how many minutes did it continue? If I get a response I will update the LENR-CANR.org news item. - Jed
