This reminds me of the old joke: "Do you know how to make a small fortune in [cold fusion / real estate / software]? Start with a large fortune." As Jones says, there is no motive and no evidence of a scam. Regarding Krivit -- the man in the pulpit -- he added some interesting comments from Essen here: http://news.newenergytimes.net/2013/05/21/rossi-manipulates-academics-to-create-illusion-of-independent-test/ (Scroll down) Essen said what I said, I am glad to see: SBK: Is there any reason you did not use either mass-flow calorimetry or envelope calorimetry to analyze for total heat enthalpy? HE: Yes, practical reasons. The current setup made it difficult. (Practical reasons determined by the reactor, its placement, and the available equipment.) [I would add, as I did the other day, this would quench the reaction, or cause a steam explosion. It would be difficult.] Here are two other interesting details: SBK: Who acquired or supplied the instrumentation? HE: Giuseppe Levi mainly, with some input from the Uppsala group. SBK: Who tested and/or calibrated the instrumentation? HE: Levi and Foschi did the main work, but several cross-checks were done by the rest of the participants. The temperature measurement cameras were checked on boiling water. The electric measurements were checked with standard resistors. - Jed
