"I made no such assumption. I never said that. But the articles did not report this and apparently if this was done, this technical info was either not shared and reported, or was shared and not reported. I tend to believe from so many different reports on the test at least one article would have included this information if it was given out."

I'd have to ask what articles and where you got them. Your perception of what was done is completely at odds with EVERY OTHER TEST/DEMO that was ever done using the ECat. And the measurement of "input power" is so fundamental to developing ANY figure for COP that is simply unthinkable that the measurement was not made. In fact, I'd be surprised if the genset used didn't have its own current/voltage readouts. A quick check of "Google Images" of gensets shows that most of them "do" have such meters.

I am seriously tired of dealing with you. Don’t bitch to the guy when you go tell him to go look up articles, and then start bitching about the articles I find when I can’t find one that says what you say is commonly reported.

I did a basic google search on this: “1 mw e-cat test”

I examined the first 20 articles that arose because I use scroogle and they return the first 20 results. None of the articles I saw never discussed how much power (in kw) the gensets were outputting.

Now, I am done with you. Crap, I hate to see how you deal with people that don’t wish something like this could work.
