For that part of your argument that I generated, my apolgies. Please drop it. Please?
Uhm.. maybe. I would have had a different approach to the issue, but WSS as you said.KitemanSA wrote: First, he is a start up and probably doesn't have $ for a parallel path, PLUS it may be that reliable e-cats at that temperature may not be quite so simple. WSS!
I leave rhetoric ploy to philosophers. I am more interested to get to the bits and bolts of the issues without filling the knowledge voids with self convictions like many are doing.KitemanSA wrote: You tend to ask questions rather than make statements, but sometimes I get to thinking such questions are all just a rhetorical ploy.
Giorgio replied:Makes total sense to me if the temperature of the steam is limited to about 100° C. He said the efficiency would be about 5% which is what you would get with that input and typical output temps and typical mechanical conversion efficiencies. I didn't say he said it wouldn't work, just that it wasn't very good for it. COULD you do it? Sure. Would it be worth it? Not so sure.
Then, after I queried that statement "I don't believe he ever said that. Reference?" Giorgio wrote:He stated several times in the replies on his website that the e-Cats can be connected in serial and parallel to increase temperature and pressure.
This is why I find strange that he also states that the e-cat is not suited for power generation.
Now he is trying to claim he never wrote what is quoted below by copy & paste:Why should I even waste the time to look for them and give them to you?
Rossi never said that but Giorgio claims he did. He just won't admit that he made a mistake.This is why I find strange that he (Rossi) also states that the e-cat is not suited for power generation.
I believe such an experiment, even if unpublished in a peer reviewed Journal, but published *in detail* on the web, would, again, be an elephant in the room, if the experiment, well conducted, showed excess heat.KitemanSA wrote:Why do you think "it never happens"?Helius wrote: All it would take is a single, well documented, straight forward, clearly published "in your face" experiment, that could be duplicated by any reasonable experimenter. I don't mean, an experiment that works 3 out of 5 times, I mean a clear experiment that demonstrably shows net energy out that can't be accounted for by expected chemical and physical means. NO One can seem to do that with any kind of clear methodology. Devise such an experiment, and you have an elephant in the room.
It never happens.
For chrismb it seems "it never happens" because it is not published in a journal (s)he has personally blesssed to carry the word of "science". Sorry for the sour tone, but some folks insist on playing the "roundy rosie" game (ain't science cause it ain't published, ain't published cuz it ain't science, oh, and by published I mean "in this spoecific journal").
The contribution that Rossi has made to the cold fusion technology is amplifying the effect some 1000 times.I therefore think it "never happens" because the phenomenon is either too weak, non-existent, or intermittent for the hypothetical experiment to exist.
The issue for me is the lack of a statement/description of an experiment that is REPEATABLE. A repeatable experiment is a provable experiment. A lack of the capacity to disprove a claim shows it to be an unscientific claim. This is the very principle of science. I do not understand what the issue is here?Helius wrote:I believe such an experiment, even if unpublished in a peer reviewed Journal, but published *in detail* on the web, would, again, be an elephant in the room, if the experiment, well conducted, showed excess heat.KitemanSA wrote:For chrismb it seems "it never happens" because it is not published in a journal (s)he has personally blesssed to carry the word of "science".Helius wrote: All it would take is a single, well documented, straight forward, clearly published "in your face" experiment, that could be duplicated by any reasonable experimenter.
