KEVMO, you are not supposed to think about anything other than POWER IN/POWER OUT. Even if there is chicanery involved, you should ignore it.
***Baloney. If chicanery is involved, you should go out of your way to expose it, especially if the reputation of 7 scientists are on the line.
Your fallacious assumption is that Nickel is in the cylinder. It could be Platinum, or carbon/diamonds. Either way, it is a chemical. This is black box testing. It does not matter what is in the cylinder. What is being observed is 10X what is known for chemical output. It could still be some bizarre chemical output, in which case Rossi has invented the best battery known to mankind. That in itself would be an extraordinary achievement. Those who are not anti-science in their viewpoint would applaud such a development. But the mods are insistent that LENR detractors are not anti-science, so I’m constrained about what I can say.
I just did. Hydrogen is a fuel. They use compressed Hydrogen, yet YOU stated they did not account for it (measure the quantity, nor the 'energy' that fuel would provide).
As far as what's in the cylinder, none of us know. You said I am making the fallacious assumption that it is NICKEL.
That would then mean that ROSSI is a liar because that's one of the ingredients he stated is inside the cylinder.
So... I have either exposed him, or you. Which is it ?
