Without him there would have been no data at all from the past two tests. He said so himself, in an acid comment: "The shortcomings of the test measurement methods were clear, though significant improvements had been made compared to previous ones. Data were retrieved only because Ny Teknik, without being prepared, took responsibility for gathering and recording the readings." http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3295411.ece He has worked under trying circumstances and done as well as can be expected. I think there is good hope that we will have better data this time. If the thing runs in self-sustaining mode for a long time, that will sure simplify the calorimetry, won't it? It makes for a very convincing demo. I do not think it has any technological significance but the main thing now is to convince people it is real. Of course the skeptics will say there was a hidden 1 MW wire or 343 kg of hidden gasoline (enough for 4 MWh), but many other people will be convinced by ~1 MW of steam continuing for many hours with no input. I will grant, it would not be hard to hide 343 kg of gasoline in that monster. - Jed
