Here is the temperature graphs with more accurate time stamps: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28230378/oct28demo.png
And some simple calculations: Water flow rate: 675.6 l/h Temperature above 100°C: 12:34 End of dataset: 18:24 Total time: 350 min (5h 50 min) Heating period: Started: 11:00 / Ended: 12:34 Total: 94 min Energy for heating metal mass: 400 MJ Energy for heating 1060 kg water: 375 MJ Total: 775 MJ / 137 kW Here we see that most of the electric input that was allegedly supplied to the device went for initial heating. Total water volume of 107 E-Cats was 2700 liters. If they can give proof that non vaporized water was just 5 kg, then test should be valid. Simple proof would be that if they measured the water flow rate from the heat dissipator. This would be valid indicator, because there was still plenty of empty water storage capacity inside E-Cats when water started boiling. Therefore only steam escaped. However, if they did not measure the flow rate, then it is difficult to establish with certainty that all steam was really vaporized. However I would think that used water trap was sufficient to collect non-vaporized water. At least within one order of magnitude. Therefore I would think that test appears to be valid and indeed E-Cat was producing at least 7 GJ energy with average power of 340 kW. This is the lower limit. Maximum power output was 12 GJ and 550 kW power. Min and max possible power levels were determined how much water was remaining stored inside E-Cats and pipes after the demo ended. As input was used almost fully for initial heating of the E-Cat array, total COP was 400:(1/∞). I do not know the total imported heating energy, but I assume here that it was below 770 MJ. And also I do not know how much input was remaining in alleged 350 min self-sustaining period. I assumed that it was zero. However, this test was by no means made by independed scientists. Therefore I do not see how this could be a proof for successful validation, because there is no way that hidden power sources are excluded. Therefore, I do not expect mass media attention. This is extremely sad situation, because I am tired of listening skepstics' assertions considering the validity of the technology. However, contract that was signed stands that the energy was produced by the means of cold fusion reactions. Therefore if this is a hoax, then it could be considered as a breach of contract, therefore Customer has right to demand compensation if they have paid anything for the Dr. Rossi. Therefore, it seems to be valid technology. However we need some further information from Bologna University considering long term performance. –Jouni
