Subject: Re: [Vo]:Rossi steam calorimetry
I do not understand why they intend to use a heat exchanger. Why not simply run
water through the thing, the way they did in the 18-hour test in February? It
may be less efficient but that makes no difference.
Rossi is devoting all his time, money and energy to the development of a
commercially viable technology. I get the impression he decided some time ago
that the quickest, safest and most reliable way he can achieve his goal is
through the generation of steam. Therefore he currently believes (rightly or
wrongly) that any form of experimentation that does not involve the generation
steam is a detour he cannot afford to take.
He cannot get scientific evidency by steam measurement if the
measurement arrangement is not previously calibrated by a known heat
source. There are too much chances of error doing the steam method on a
unknown system.
Of course you are always faster if you neglect the rules and leave some
necessary steps out.....
