If there really are units in parallel they would need to run the same time as a single unit for an effective test. That, however, is still a lot longer than this test was, IMO. The real problem with the megawatt test is that nobody except the one person Rossi said was the customer's representative saw the data. Lots of others were there and there could have been remote readouts in the room they were required to occupy for most of the experiment. But there weren't any. The generator ran the whole time and nobody but what may have been Rossi's guy saw the readings. None of the scientist and reporter observers could vouch for either the amount of energy produced by the test nor for where it came from! It's hard to know why they were even there! So basically, it's still all "Rossi says". I wouldn't expect NASA to get into such fine and controversial details about Rossi's problems. What NASA basically said which matters is that they don't think Rossi's evidence is adequate to believe he has a genuine novel production method for energy. At least that's what I get out of the FOIA release and the slide.
