In the last 20 seconds he says Krivit did a very good job. I agree that he did, in the interviews. I wish he had gathered more information during the demonstration, especially the method of measuring the flow rate. Rossi was upset by Krivit's conclusions from these interviews, and his long report. So was I. I thought in particular he distorted Levi's statements about the purpose of the 18-hour test, and the reasons Levi does not plan to publish the results. As I said some weeks ago, this resembles Mizuno's large heat after death event, described in his book, and summarized here: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MizunoTnucleartra.pdf This event was irrefutable proof of a massive, self-sustaining nuclear reaction. Mizuno has never had any doubt whatever about that. Unless Mizuno is liar or a lunatic, I have no doubt about it either. This event was far more convincing than, for example, all of the experiments done by McKubre combined. Unfortunately, the instrumentation was not very good for reasons beyond Mizuno's control, and there is no chance any journal would publish anything about this. The only recorded evidence remaining from this is the pen recorder trace leading up the heat burst, before the cell was disconnected and submerged in the bucket of water. That's not good enough for a formal scientific presentation. Mizuno has never tried to publish these results or describe them in a conference. He discusses them with anyone who asks, and he included them in his book. He first discussed them with a reporter from Bungei Shunju, a top-notch, conservative establishment magazine, which is where I learned about them. He is not hiding them. Levi's data isn't good enough for a peer-reviewed paper, and he is not interested in publishing anything less formal than that. It is fine for NyTeknik, just as Mizuno's report was well suited for Bungi Shunju, or in the U.S., someplace like Wired Magazine. I understand Levi's point of view. I don't agree with him completely, but I get it. It is absurd for Krivit to suggest there is something unethical or unusual about discussing the data with reporters even though it is not suitable for a formal paper. - Jed
