That's what was understood in my comment. No one is granting that if Rossi inputs a few hundred watts to heater that a few thousand come out as steam. The steam is not dry, liquid water is entrained, Rossi seems to have the flow rate wrong (Mattia Rizzi), etc. These are reasons not to believe Rossi's number. But that number is irrelevant to what I'm talking about. Assuming the reactor produces steam it does not matter what the heater input is. This has nothing to do with input. When the power is cut the steam will still be produced according to thermal inertia. Thermal inertia isn't heater input and it isn't fusion. How can it be heat after death when you say there's no death. I don't misunderstand, Rossi misspeaks. This is pointless if you're saying we must assume there is fusion. The presence or absence of fusion does not affect thermal inertia which is sufficient to explain 15 minutes. I can't conclude there is fusion from the data. Its that simple. Therefore none shall be accounted for whereas thermal inertia will be. It is you who dosen't understand the data. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jed Rothwell To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 9:03 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:The Krivit Videos Part 3 Joe Catania <[email protected]> wrote: 3kW is not negligible- one of Rossi's E-Cat's only supposedly vaporizes 2g/s of water which takes less than 5kW. I did not explain that correctly. 3 kW is the most the reactor could produce in the absence of any anomalous heat. It is the maximum electric power input. In fact, the reactor produced 12 kW. Cooling of metal won't decline as fast as "nuclear reaction rate" will unless the heater is a hoax to begin with. Why would it take 15 minutes for the nuclear reaction to cease when 15 minutes is a perfectly plausible time for continued steam production by thermal inertia. You misunderstand. It did not take 15 minutes for the nuclear reaction to cease. It did not cease. It was continuing unabated at the same power level after 15 minutes. They turned on the power again. If they had not, the anomalous power might have continued indefinitely. Some heat after death reactions have lasted for hours, and some for days. Of course if it had been stored up heat in metal, the apparent power would have declined. - Jed
