There is always some claim. It has a battery hidden in it etc.
"It is easy to eliminate that objection. Weigh the entire device and compute
how much energy it could hold if the entire device is a battery.
I am not sympathetic to inventors who will not make such an obvious
demonstration and evaluation because they say there will be "objections"
like this. It is easy to overrule such objections."
The ultimate claim is that the observers are all paid and in on the
fraud. For example, I have read that the Elforsk test of the Hot Cat
can't be believed because (a) Levi is a biased friend (b) power was
surreptitiously run to the device. (c) the heat measurements were in
error. (d) the report was not peer reviewed.
The fact remains, the Elforsk test should have been enough to persuade
other scientists that LENR was real but it hasn't. DOE still have not
changed their policy. No government organization is talking about LENR
being the solution but just about funding ITER, solar power and wind
turbines. I haven't seen one article in the mainstream press that
states categorically LENR is proven. I tend to believe Rossi's comment
that it will only be accepted after commercial units are out in the
market place.
There is no scientific explanation for the RAR device. Apart from being
a spectacular machine that looks worthy of being in a museum, the only
reason to believe it works is the thought that no one would build a
second machine if it didn't. We will just have to wait and see.
