This dipole field is very powerful with a strength that can exceed 1,000,000,000,000 times the dipole strength of a hydrogen atom in the ground state. This power is provided by a 1000 atom crystal at a principle quantum excitation number of 100. The recent publication of the observation of huge dip...

Many posters here seem to think that Rossi came up with the device on his own in a basement somwhere. This is also a strawman argument. No, a straw man argument is where one party presents a distorted, and easily refutable, version of his opponent's position. None of the examples you claimed to be ...

So lets turn this around. Do you know WHY Rossi didn't take the ECat to Rowan for testing 2 years ago? They were certainly set up to do a thorough analysis. If you read up on the patent literature, a device similar to the one described by Rossi was patented in 1996 in germany. It is very probable t...

In order for the Rossi is a crook argument to be anything more than a straw man argument, one must also believe that all the credible scientists and business people who have observed and invested in the technology are not only more naive than a child but also incredibly incompetent. Explain how que...

Crawdaddy, . . .the resistive heating of the reactor prior to the onset of cold fusion roughly calibrates the device Not only that, anyone experienced in experimental procedure would have thermocouples and instrumentation with errors that would be trivial compared to temperatures measured. Where is...

Crawdaddy, Unless there was fraud in the experiment, the resistive heating of the reactor prior to the onset of cold fusion roughly calibrates the device. This is a trivial observation, anyone who spent any time thinking about it wouldn't even bother to mention it. Not only that, anyone experienced...

This is why experiments like this always include what are known as "controls" or ways to verify the test instrumentation is working properly. Exactly! What were Levi's controls during his 18 hour experiment? We dont know! Did he have any at all? We dont know! At least there was nothing in the reopo...

Bleating about Rossi being a crook is unproductive and is logically flawed, but very easy to do, it is a facile argument. No, it's not logically flawed. Someone who is willing to purchase a phoney academic degree is not to be trusted, and Tom is right--there is not enough data about the experiment ...

You are obviously unwilling to take the few minutes it would take to convince yourself that the room temperature argument is flawed. So you are denying that he changed his opinion on releasing his data and protocolls to the public? Because I do remember that he originally had promised to do just th...

If the test was conducted as described then there is no way the temperature of the room would affect the measured temperature. Anyone familiar with the concepts of heat capacity and heat transfer from gases to condensed phases can say this with an extremely high level of certainty. Ok, well the des...

In fact the temperature of the room could be 50C and the effect on the output temperature would not be altered significantly. No, it would not? How can you know? Were you there and did you do a control? Do you know enough about the test setup to rule this out? All I know is hat 20 degrees is below ...

My biggest problem was that the output temperature during the Levi- test was basically room temperature. Without knowing the temperature in the environment, how much of that might have contributed to the heating of the water? I dont know. Nobody knows, because very little information has been publi...

And while it is true the isotopic ratio data is damning, and no doubt has moved Essen & Kullander, there is no positive evidence that Rossi has what he says other than his claims and ability to convince others. Rossi has a record of making untrue claims and convincing others (the on record statemen...

Once again, Rossi demonstrates new levels of idiocy. Come on Rossibots...defend him...I dare you... Well I don't write much on this forum. I am not sure what to think about Rossi and whether he is onto something. Since I don't know I can't argue one way or the other. This however is a no brainer. I...
