That does cast some doubt on the original claims. Some of Graneau's papers are more recent than Hathaway's retraction, so Graneau is either stubborn, or maybe correct after all. Quite possible that the authors were pressured to retract or suffer consequences.
An interesting paper that, while written by a very young science student, uses fairly simple energy measurements confirming Graneau's is - Do water arc explosions release internal water energy? If so, what is the source of the released energy? http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Electrolysis_Water_Arc_and_Dielectric_Breakdown/Leavitt%20-%20Do%20water%20arc%20explosions%20release%20internal%20water%20energy%20-%202013.pdf Quite possibly, all is just measurement error. Still since these results seem (at least superficially) related to BLP and Papp experiments, it might be worth suspending both belief and doubt for a while longer. -- LP Jones Beene wrote: > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > >> How credible are the excess energy claims? > > > In the balance of credibility - towards water arc gainfulness, you should > also consider George Hathaway's retraction of the Graneau work.
