A) You're a fool to tell me that the E-Cat has no thermal inertia. It certainly does. This is unavoidable. B) The data given are certainly consistent withy thermal inertia being the cause. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jed Rothwell To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]:E-cat news at Nyteknik

At 22:35 input electric power was 2.5 kW. All electric power was cut off at this time. The temperature dropped from 131.9°C down to 123.0°C, which is the expected amount. At 22:40, 5 minutes later, the temperature rose to 133.7°C, higher than it was with electric power input. By 23:10 when the run ended, the temperature had fallen to 122.7°C. Stored heat cannot explain this behavior. That would violate the second law of thermodynamics. Since the flow rate remained stable, the temperature cannot rise without some source of energy production within the cell. - Jed
