Yup-- that was true October 6 but on no other test. All except that one and Levi's relied on heat of evaporation of water. And we know what's wrong with Levi's. Nobody knows what if anything was tested on October 28 except a possibly phony anonymous customer who isn't saying. > Unfortunately, some of us disagree upon the placement of the > thermocouple.

But the issue of thermocouple placement, including any effects from the hot side of the heat exchanger, also could have been settled unequivocally with a blank run and using the heater to calibrate the entire measurement system at once. Calibration is a beautiful thing. Rossi should embrace it but strangely, he doesn't. Pity. > Earlier testing was subject to a lot of speculation about steam quality. > The october 6 test did not depend upon steam quality issues without Rossi's > placement trick. > Agreed. Thanks for the reminder. M. Y.
