I have never heard of a business in normal times being willing to accept a plant that produces half its rated output with the promise that things will be better later. What I would do as an engineer is to recommend that there be no acceptance until we got what we paid for. This does not ring true. ...

I just got back from my turn. I was able to shoot a few pictures and take some video. The reason for the embargo on taking photos was personnel reasons. They don't want the engineers and testers to be shown, to keep them confidential. The company doing the testing does not wish to be known at this ...

Thomas Gold's abiogenic hydrocarbons generated by the stars?

wow. http://www.space.com/13401-cosmic-star-dust-complex-organic-compounds.html "A new look at the interstellar dust permeating the universe has revealed hints of organic matter that could be created naturally by stars, scientists say. Researchers at the University of Hong Kong observed stars at dif...

Giorgio:
Well, sorry about that, but this is actually the first time you have asked me a simple question without trying to be polemic.
Well that is merely your opinion.

I'm glad that you feel you've managed to wrap that all up for us.

You seem to be a confident critical expert, have you done relevant experiments in this area? These types of experiments date back from 2000 and earlier, there is nothing really new there. I'll try to explain. Cars, boats and planes all share the same engine, but is not enough for them to attain the...

More grist for the mill ... proton tunnelling in a lattice http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022286005008458 Proton tunnelling should not be confused with proton ability to actually bypass the Debye limit and fuse with a target. You seem to be a confident critical expert, have you ...

The Mach Truck is in reference to the 1 MW machine ... are you going to argue with that if it proves to work? 1MW device makes no sense. If you want to prove the e-cat is real, it is much easier to do it measuring smaller units. "1MW device" has no practical use, it is something that will eat hunde...

The fact of the matter is we have no idea what the 10 kg Ni and 18kg H2 relate to in terms of how the process operates. It could be as simple as when you charge the pipes of the thing you need X gms of H2 and when you do a refill it is easiest to vent that H2 to atmosphere and it becomes unrecoverab...

Here's Focardi, he should know if it is a scam or not and what is inside it, etc, etc ... this guy just does not strike me as a fraud ... maybe I'm a terrible judge of character.

I'm merely saying you maybe mistakenly back-fitting an academic question onto a practical answer. Wouldn't be the first time an academic got the wrong end of the schtick. I am first of all an engineer and see many wrong assertions not corresponding with well-known laws of nature. For example Mr. Wh...

As an engineer would when specifying consumed quantities of fuel, oil, coolant for an IC engine, that have not much relation to calorimetric balances of the combustion process itself. Calorimetric balance & efficiency of energy conversion cycles, if fuel together with products not emitted into envi...

If I remember correctly, Rossi stated that most of the nickel could be recovered and reused. So, perhaps it would be best to hold off buying those futures. Mr. White, if certain reaction is exothermic and releases some energy and some products, recovery process of those products to initial needs th...
