Andrew, That is all that anyone can ask of you. Keep an open mind and hopefully you will eventually find the truth. It appears that there will always be questions to answer and it is good to resolve as many as possible. The scientists that performed these experiments are high caliber and would most likely want to be extremely careful about any announcements of this magnitude. Put yourself in their shoes and you might find that you hesitate to deliver news that would ruin your reputation if shown false.
I have faith in their ability and have also been following Rossi for a couple of years. During this time I have seen him make statements that fall into place when measured against a model that I constructed earlier to understand how a device that generates a lot of heat can be controlled by much less heat. Initially, I thought that this could not be true, but my model convinces me otherwise. It is in our collective best interest to get this right and you can be confident that there are many following this list that will ensure that any tricks are uncovered as soon as possible.

I'll tell Harry to call off the mutant and ill-tempered sea bass :) I started out this morning very gung-ho about it all, and as the day has progressed, and I read more peripheral material, I ended up with more open questions than answers. I think of myself as open-minded but strongly analytic too. I have been running with the Woodward crowd for over 15 years, and if that isn't fringe and speculative physics, I don't know what is. I couldn't put a number on how convinced I am. It's not 0% and neither is it 100%. Let's say I'm 50/50 for now. The fence is uncomfortable, but at least a path to the resolution of open issues appears to exist. I can't say fairer than that. If I have an agenda, I'd describe it as the fervent desire for this thing to work!

Some might be able to follow the wiring into the device, but the level would have to be quite large which would most likely demolish the instrument readings. Andrew, are you approaching this from the point of view of a skeptic that absolutely does not believe that the ECAT works? If so, I can understand why you are stretching so far. Could you be convinced that Rossi actually has a working device?

Now, I do realise that this entails Prof. Levi crawling around in the rafters like Quasimodo...LOL. No, I am inclined to say that the input side is where attention needs to be focussed. There's a black box there - the waveform generator - that's off limits.

Can you imagine the liability that Rossi would face when reflections or direct path radiation caused serious injuries? This is far outside the realm of reality. The input questions are much more relevant, and I suspect that they can be set aside with the proper scrutiny.

But lasers can be straightforwardly coerced into producing something that's not a spot, you know. If there's foul play, my money is on the input side, frankly.

Give me a break.

Andrew, infrared lasers? Really. Okay, somehow these scientists missed the hidden CO2 laser which would create spot heating of the test device. :-)
