Increasing something that is just under "background" by business headache standards by 100X takes it well over "background" by business headache standards, and therefore a potential business headache, or must I explain it for a fourth time? Do you know what background radiation is? This is in a cry...

Their half lives are in the minute to low hour range. Gone before the "product" can be isotopically investigated? If you identify them with a gamma spectrometer, certainly not. The one piece of data of which I am aware that Rossi has provided, inadvertantly unless he is a truly crafty con, that rel...

To me, the prhase "undetectable" implys consistent with background, and in the same magnitude. Are you detecting it, or background? Increasing IT 100X might take it to ~100X background. Perhaps "indistinguishable" would be a better word. 100X detection limit does not mean 100X background radiation ...

AGAIN, you said "only NI62 and NI64 are reacting to produce copper 63 and 65". He said you are correct. I agree. All the other Ni isotopes wind up with other copper isotopes (temporarily) and with other Nickel isotopes eventually. And we do not see radiation from these other copper isotopes, even a...

Actually, I think the Ni 58 is reduced by maybe a factor 2 or 3. Why? Just the impression I get. But he is not seperating out the 62/64, he is reducing the 58. For your convenience: There exists no method for "separation" and no "elimination" of isotopes, only different grades of de/enrichment. Act...

Really? There have been THOUSANDS of scientists looking to enrich NICKEL? Really? Why? Obviously enriching 235UF6 which is ~ 0.8% different in weight is not their intent. And that fact that it starts at <1% of the total rather than ~70% makes no difference. Really? Seems apples and aardvarks to me....

I don't. Indeed, I am increasingly sceptical myself. But when people use "scientific" reasons to "support" their skepticism, I ask for the science (or in one case the statistics). So you are asking for a "scientific" reason why the coffe cup does not exist. When people make final judgements based o...

I have NEVER argued that Rossi "IS" doing anything . And why do you attack anyone who says something sceptic about the ecat? I can think of several ways to massively reduce the content of Ni58 in a sample of natural Ni without spending the bank. No, you can't. Since I don't know what the process is...

And all those observers were not able to do much, but watch Rossis poor show. Were they? Most of them seem to think otherwise. I think that you are making deductions of off hearsay. So, what did they do? What instruments did they use? The only one who actually brought instruments was Mats Lewans. I...

(2) output thermocouple mounted in thermal contact with heat exchanger, which means output temperature will measure higher than real. This and the low deltaT makes for a very significant, and unknowable, error. Is a good point, though I think that the max abberation due to this is low enough to be ...

@Kiteman: Good luck collecting enough Karma to change the laws of the universe, but as long as there are asholes like me, I fear, you wont be successful. I find this so funny that I compensate at least 10 of your kind :p. Which particular law needs to change? Be specific please. I keep asking but n...

I see that one only has to repeat the same nonsense over and over again, and eventually people will start to believe it. Would be a shame for politicians not to make use of this. This whole story is worthless from a physics perspective, but it is a treasure for demonstrating mass psychology. @Kitema...

@sparkyy0007: I agree, in principle. But even if the water in the secondary loop leaves the HEX as steam, the flow in the primary could still be cooled down to near secondary input levels, lets say 30C. If it does not, and steam leaves the primary HEX, the reservoir will heat up - but in that case t...

I have just seen your later post. What you do if you are trying to measure a small temperature difference is calibrate the thermocouples together in a liquid at near the desired temperature. And then check after the measurement to see if they have drifted. If you don't know something so elementary ...

It is quite possible to measure temperatures to better than 0.1°C accuracy. Have you ever measure your body's temperature? The normal body's temperature 36.6 deg Celsius. And very conventional even Chinese thermometer measures the difference between 36.6 and 36.7 1. A body thermometer usually have ...
