- In the 17 Dec. 1992 17:51 message Dieter Britze says:
-
- "No, no, no, no, yes, no and no, ... "
-
- Dieter, are you sure about the yes? Hint: You could say "no".

- Frank Close computes the number of joules in 100 watts for ten minutes and
- comes up with "over 10**4joules". Seems like an unnecessary understatement
- to me. Frank, you could easily give the rest of the order of magnitude to
- the "true believers" and still make your point. It does not seem to me to
- require "a new form of precision time piece" to have similar cells boil away
- in the same time. Likely some self limiting feature of a boiling system
- could cause similar times. But please don't think I am a believer.

- Dick Blue says "The reality of cold fusion can never be established by
- calorimetry alone, ... . I agree Dick. But "anomalous heat" can be
- established by calorimetry alone. Confirmed "anomalous heat" would be very
- interesting - no matter how small. And besides, it is fun to build ever
- more accurate instruments.
