But I was addressing Aussie Guy who said his devices have a COP of 5 in the range of watts and that they are B grade at that! With a power level measured in watts, and a COP of 5, it should be possible, especially using a grade A device (LOL) to close the loop. Look what's been done with miniaturized Sterling engines, micro motors and generators, and all sorts of other tiny devices. And any strong advocate of cold fusion would want to close the loop more than anything else. It would IMMEDIATELY give the field irrefutable proof of cold fusion (if you ran long enough) because there is no other way to explain away the phenomenon -- none whatever. > It would be better to work on accurate (but not overly complex) > calorimetry and to find clear evidence that nuclear reactions are occurring. > Why not work on both? But at the moment, Aussie Guy has given no clearly defined specifications at all for his "grade B" PFE devices and their performance other than COP>5 and power output in the watts range. That tends to make the story unclear if not suspicious. He can fix at least that part of it easily and at no risk of revealing trade secrets. Let's see if he gives some specifications and maybe from those we can judge how difficult closing the loop may be. So, AG, what's the input power and how is it supplied (in what form and from what)? What's the output power and how was it measured? You did get those data, right? Before you made the claims?
