Ok, so I am thinking here that science has a pretty good idea of chemical reactions, amount of energy produced over time given a certain volume / mass.

That being the case, there should be a finite solution here. Which chemical reactions are capable of being stored in such a small space? And capable of producing that much heat? And able to sustain that production rate for 5 1/2 hrs.

My guts are telling me that there cant be a whole lot of known chemical reactions that would meet the criteria. If there is no known chemical reaction that meets that time line / curve ... then we should give the guy a bit more opportunity to present his evidence. But, once he can prove he is outside the curve, then he has either invented a new means of extracting energy (a plus) or he has created a new chemical reaction (also a plus) or it is a type of process that is outside of the chemical realm (also a plus). But with all of these tests constantly coming up inconclusive and then being required to meet another goal post seems to be a bit disingenuous to both sides.

Rossi won't let anyone examine the device. Rossi controlled every public test. Rossi installed and calibrated the test equipment, and refused to do some basic testing that would eliminate much of the doubt.

Most of the doubts come from the question of whether the E-Cat is really turning all the water into steam. There is an enormous difference in the amount of energy needed to heat water to just below boiling, and to actually boil that same water. If Rossi is just boiling a little water, his device are only producing about 1/7th the heat needed to boil all the water. And Rossi has consistently refused to allow anyone to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that all the water is, in fact, being boiled away.

What about the thousands of gallons of "water" he's pumping through the device?
