Even a school kid could see from the graph that the heat output was a lot more than the input. parallel, you cannot use such an argument. It deserves the answer "Even a school kid could see that many points remain obscure in the way this experiment was run." I hope as much as you that the e-Cat wil...

Thank you parallel for posting the input/output energy graph with this 300% ratio. I have read many clever (and mostly benevolent) objections but little quantification of these. Maybe am I asking too much but it would help us progress in the discussion if the objections came with an estimate of how ...

Is he this Nobel Laureate with an interest in parapsychology?

The going in position for any new form of energy is a >99.9% chance it will fail. This is typically what Nassim Nicholas Taieb calls "a positive black swan". Something highly improbable with a very high reward (for Rossi and for mankind) it it succeeds and a low cost (nearly nothing for me who only...

In applicant exothermal reaction the hydrogen nuclei, due to a high absorbing capability of nickel therefor, are compressed about the metal atom nuclei, while said high temperature generates internuclear percussions which are made stronger by the catalytic action of optional elements , thereby trig...

Their design is much less futuristic and more conservative than it used to be. The original TWR was really about a travel wave, with Li6-Li7 reactivity control and several other exotic features. Now they have practically left aside the idea of the traveling wave and what they describe in their scien...

This comes after 13 world championships, 38 world records and 7 appearances in the Olympics. The lady also holds an MBA and a doctorate. An article, publi...

Three comments from far away: 1 - What would be the fun of having a decentralized government if it were not for having different tax levels in the 50 states. Having said that, one state has to lead. That is basic maths. 2 - I often see people compare tax levels (and complain) but very seldom compare...

If this is really so (I mean, if those numbers have not been manipulated) then you do have a problem in the US. In "socialist" France, as some US citizens view it, this would not be the case. It is arguable that an unemployed family with children has the same available income as the same family with...
