[Mycroft Holmes]

Dear me. I have been nothing but polite for two days now and have encountered nothing but derision and scorn from the proponents of this technology. My requirements for proof are laid out completely and clearly in post 20 and they are not unreasonable. If you think they are maybe we should discuss this before proceeding. I do note that the data provided does not meet the standards of #20 but it may be teased out of what is provided. Because of the obvious acrimony I have to do the calculations anyway but surely welcome anyone who wants to compute along. This, BTW, is graduate drudge work.

But you’re forgetting the “who are you?” issue.

The only way you are “somebody” is by controlling a gateway.

"So, the canonical experiment is this. You pump X energy into the magic box, measured in KWh. You measure Y energy coming out, also in KWh. When Y - X >= Z (maximum stored energy calculated above) you have something interesting."

Your stated criteria.

"I do note that the data provided does not meet the standards of #20 but it may be teased out of what is provided."

So you're pissing and moaning because of failure to express the energy items in your precise units??? Guess what....you don't get to set the units....the people taking the data do. I guess "Mycroft Holmes" is the correct handle.... he was Sherlock's LAZY brother.

I wouldn’t worry about it. At least four posters for who I had respect for from their posts have turned out to be petty whiners regarding this subject. I can understand disagreeing with someone but they take it personal. Some people need drama...
