Well I got some sleep and am catching up on this thread. I am very
disappointed. The confusion here is incredible. It also appears no
one has read my paper at all:
http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/Rossi6Oct2011Review.pdf
especially the sections "T2 THERMOCOUPLE LOCATION" and "VOLUME
CALCULATIONS", wherein I analyze the photos, Photo 1 and Photo 2 in
my paper, which for some reason everyone confuses as showing the
inside of the "30x30x30 cm inside box" that supposedly houses one to
three 1 cm thick reactors (or 3 cm thick reactors if you please,
Rossi made both statements), and to which I referred when I said no
one saw inside it at the demo. I was *not* referring to the roughly
50x60x35 cm *exterior* box. The posters on this for some reason seem
to confuse the two boxes. Jed calls the 30x30x30 cm inside box the
"reactor", though it clearly is much more than "the reactor". It is
a reactor housing that supposedly keeps the reactor dry and
protected, and to which 1 /4 inch and 1 inch water sealed conduit
pipes connect which carry water, main power, and the "frequency
generator" power from the outside to the stuff inside the box.
The material I have analyzed fits inside the 30x30x30 cm box. The
50x60x35 cm exterior box to which others refer is irrelevant, except
when water levels and temperatures are simulated.
It is disappointing that people would think I have not even seen the
photos I so carefully analyzed and described in my paper. This
reinforces the feeling I have had that this is all a waste of time.
Here are the important facts:
1. No one at the 6 Oct demo saw inside the 30x30x30 cm box. It was
not opened.
2. Mats Lewan did not see any features of the box aside from what was
shown in the various photos. He did not see any exterior structures
that might be important, such as
holes, vents, fins underneath, etc. The only features visible were
the bolted flanges and the pipe feed throughs.
3. The small interior 30x30x30 box was bolted to the bottom of the
exterior box. It is thus unlikely a set of fins like those on top
are present on the bottom of the 30x30x30 cm box.
4. No one would have been able to observe cement, ceramic tiles, fire
brick, iron slabs, lead slabs, Ni containers, valves, wiring, hidden
water access ports, etc., because the inside box was not opened.
5. The inside and outside boxes, and the contents of the inside box,
together weigh 98 kg. Clearly the inside and outside boxes, pipes
and bolts that are visible do not weigh anything like 98 kg. The
boxes are made of sheet metal. Therefore the density of the 30x30x30
cm box and its interior contents is very high.
I am attempting to construct my simulation within these constraints.
I think Bob Higgen's diagram at:
http://lenr.qumbu.com/rossi_ecat_oct11_a.php
is inaccurate. The reactor is enclosed inside the 30x30x30 cm
interior box. The fins are not as big as shown. There is only one
set of fins, on top. The thermocouple is much longer than shown and
likely rests against the edge of the inside box, and probably on the
flanges of the inside box, which are not shown. The gaps between the
inside box and the edges of the outside box are too large in
proportion. The 50x60x35 cm exterior box dimensions include the
flanges to which the top panel is bolted. This only leaves a few
centimeters gap (5 cm on the ends, 3 cm on the sides, excluding the
flanges) between the inside box and the outside box. See the sections
of my paper referenced above. I should note here that I am working
on an update of those sections based on an improved photo analysis.
Here are my best numbers so far:
Width of E-cat inside box: 30.3 cm
Interior width of E-cat outside box, flange to flange: 49.6 cm
Interior width of E-cat outside box, side to side : 40.6 cm
Interior length of E-cat outside box: = 46.3 cm
