It’s not a cute trick, it’s retarded and half-assed, just like everything else in the test. By the way, if there was a flowmeter used to take accurate volume measurements, the data sure wasn’t in the report I read.
I found the New Energy Times site about a year ago, and I’ve been lurking on these threads..
There was always something that bothered me, and I just figured it out. Rossi claims that his device converts Ni to Cu and Fe...
All the theories for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) claim neutron formation and immediate capture by the metal atoms at the surface of the metal. During a reaction, many neutrons get captured, making heavier and heavier isotopes of the base material. Beta decay of the unstable isotopes increase the atomic weight.
For Ni-58 -> Cu-63 takes 5 neutrons, and one beta decay.
There is no path from Ni-58 to any stable Fe isotopes.
Rossi is a fraud.
I think there is LENR is real, and it really easy to prove with an isotope analysis of the starting material and the ending material. You will observe several new elements, and an increase of heavier isotopes and depletion of lighter isotopes
They wanted to do a high flow experiment "now" but didn't have a large enough pump, so they hooked up to the wall pipe, put a totalizing flowmeter in the line to the e-cat, and away they went. A lot more ingenious than "half-assed". It's called "making do with the equipment you have.
And in doing the experiment that way also removed any possibility of things like the "hydrogen peroxide scam".
I make instrumentation do what it isn't designed to do on a virtual daily basis. The way the data was collected was "different" but completely valid.
"By the way, if there was a flowmeter used to take accurate volume measurements, the data sure wasn’t in the report I read.
Perhaps you should do more than just read the reports. You pathological skeptics seem to be channeling O.J. Simpson's lawyer (Johnny Cochran)....."if it's not on a list, it doesn't exist".
