Here's one way Rossi could have pulled off his latest con job.

Here is how Rossi has fooled the same bunch of academic physicists this time:
He has given them the thick insulated wires to measure with a “clamp ammeters.” This type of measurement uses magnetic field created by the current flowing trough a wire. The calculation of the current has an assumption of a single, non-wound and non-shielded wire. However, internal structure of the cables used in this setup were not exposed. It can be seen that they are thick enough to hide things like shielding, winding, or even ferrite rings that could completely distort the magnetic fields and so the validity of the measurement.
It looks like while focusing a lot on temperature measurement, they got fooled by simple electric measurement distortion. Cables are definitely thick enough to deliver several kW of power while actual measured current would be much less if magnetic field that is being measured is partly shielded. So while there was no mistake in heat calculation, the electric power measurements were completely uncertain and open to any manipulations Rossi might want to implement under the insulation of these thick cables that were passing an “unidentified waveform” of current.

Baloney. If any lurker thinks there is something here and wants to follow up, they can ping me. So far, not a single lurker has ever done so.

Moonman....I see where you are going with this, but manipulating the “power factor” on a electrical distribution system would result in a higher measured power consumption, not less.

Bad power factors can usually be found where a lot of electronic power supplies are on the line as well as electric motors. From what I understand of this machine, it has pretty much of a resistive load. Usually needed to create heat. Resistive loads to do not generally result in any needed power factor correction.

If someone wanted to fake a electrical measurement, all they need do is de-tune the CT measuring device or in your example, the ammeter.

More questions for the so-called independent test: Was the nickle containing tube opened up and it’s contents analyzed?

Why was the external power not shut off, or disconnected even briefly, during the test or was it?

Was that e-cat capable of running in a self sustaining mode?

Some more questions are suggested at ‘Starts With a Bang’, just google, “the e-cat is back and people are still falling for it”.
