There are indeed. We discussed that at length here. Fortunately, as I pointed out several times, we can ignore all of the temperature readings. We can depend entirely on sense of touch and on the temperature readings Lewan took with his own thermocouple, at the reactor vessel surface and other points. Based on that alone the evidence for excess heat is overwhelming. We don't need Rossi's data, which is a good thing. Please review the archives for details. > If you have any independent information that the water in the E-Cat (in > particular for the September test I referenced) really was no hotter than > approximately 100 C. I would love to see it. > It was obviously hotter. That's why the water gushed out -- as you say. Rossi's internal TCs showed it was considerably hotter. No one disputes that. The cold fusion reaction only occurs at much higher temperatures, so of course the water in contact with the cell wall must have been hotter. The reactor is partly pressurized. It was above 100 deg C but that does not prove the heat came from joule heating. It came from cold fusion. - Jed
