The ratio of temperature to input power can only be lower as the power increases. If it "gained" it would producing excess heat. When they input ~800 W for the first 10 days, the temperature should not have exceeded ~750°C. If it did, that can only be from excess heat. > 4) They should have used pyrometer of platinum thermocouple in any > event > > Anyone can come up with a list of things he thinks they should have done.

Others, including experienced experts, said this is the industry standard method of measuring heat from hot devices of this nature.

You have not given any credible technical reasons for this opinion of yours, so I disagree. Repeating this over and over again does not make it true. Calling people "fan boys" and the like and cherry-picking stories about Rossi's past does not make it true either. - Jed
