Hey, do me a favor. I agree that thermocouple (T-out) placement is
critical and you can get almost any temp you want with incorrect
placement. I also agree Rossi should have put the 'couple into the
stream. But I don't quite see the trail of goop that tells you where it
was originally before the insulation was moved. I hate to make work
because this is an almost dead horse, but is there some way to make a
clearer graphic about where the thermocouple tip was during the run with
respect to the manifold and why? I see goop (probably silicon grease)
on the brass fitting in the third image but I'm not sure what it tells us.
When this all went down, I mentioned that the way to do away with
measurement errors was to use Joule heating to calibrate the entire
system used to measure output energy. The believers poopoo'd it but
it's still true that such methodology also should have been used by
Rossi (and by everyone who promotes LENR).
The goop is where the bead of the thermocouple was placed. There is no
other reason for anything like that material to be there other than to
provide a good heat exchange between the brass fitting and the
thermocouple head.
Notice in the other 2 images it has been cleaned off the brass fitting.
Not a good idea for it to be there too long as some sharp eyed observers
may have questioned why that material was on that brass fitting. Can't
have the observers asking awkward questions.
Why was the bead placed there? Simple. Doing so would deliver a higher
than reality Tout temperature, making the delta T look bigger than it
really was and making the Ecat appear as if it was generating more
energy than is was consuming.
Horace got it right and was shouted down. Tells you something about the
agendas of some who post here.
I like a good mystery and being a natural skeptic, I enjoy a bit of digging.
As for this not being relevant, I don't agree. It goes to the heart of a
man who made multiple lies about the biggest event in LENR history, had
others cover it up and has worked out how to generate good looking but
still fraudulent data.
Why does Rossi refuse independent testing? Because he knows the Ecat
can't deliver what he claims it can. So he lies and creates bogus data.
He may think he is buying time to make the home Ecat work as claimed.
Maybe that is what he is doing and maybe he will eventually make it
work. That does not alter that he has told really big and serious lies
about the BBB, has been caught creating fabricated data and has damaged
Lewans reputation as being an independent and unbiased reporter.
