That is quite a hit at Rossi's claims, since NASA believes that chemical reactions could not be ruled out.
But it's interesting that they didn't point out other problems, such vapor problems and energy COP. The question is: they just didn't bother trying to figure that out because it was an obviously chemical reactions or they couldn't find other issues? 2011/11/10 Mary Yugo <[email protected]> > > http://blog.newenergytimes.com/2011/11/10/nasa-engineer-explains-why-rossi-demos-failed/ > > "According to a slide presentation given by NASA engineer Michael A. > Nelson, which New Energy Times obtained under a FOIA request, “Energy > Catalyzer” inventor Andrea Rossi failed to conclusively show that his > device produced excess heat from a nuclear energy source.
