− | After the departure of Krivit and the publication of his preliminary report, irritated inventor Rossi reacted in an angry way. According to Rossi, ''Mr Krivit has understood nothing of what he saw'' and published a ''ridiculous report''. He accused him to be ''sent by somone to dwarf our work''. Also, he "blackmailed" physicist Levi, who had to call for a lawyer. | + | After the departure of Krivit and the publication of his preliminary report, irritated inventor Rossi reacted in an angry way.

Evidently has understood nothing, perhaps for the short time we gave him, also because we have to work. Prof. Levi has explained very well to him how the measures have been made and the importance of the issue. He has explained very well that the percentage of uncondensed water in the steam has been measured in weight (in volume is impossible, for various reasons), and he also got confirmation of this from a specialist from whom he has taken indipendent counsel. Nevertheless, he has understood nothing, or wanted not to understand, for reasons he better knows. Our tests have been performed by Physics Professors, who know how to make measures , and I am measuring the performance every day on 300 reactors.<br>In any case we will start our 1 MW plant in october and we will see how it works. Of course I assure his considerations are invalid, but I want to say more: our products on the market will confirm this.

− | Giuseppe Levi reacted writing an open letter in an italian blog, accusing Krivit not to have understood what he, as a physicist with a PhD, explained him about measuring the water content in steam as measurements in mass percentage.<ref>Dear Mr. Krivit,<br>I have carefully read your preliminary report on your trip to Bologna. Your report clearly demonstrates that you have not understood anything of what you have seen and what we have explained you.<br>First of all, the story about the steam. As the signature in my email states, I got a PhD in Physics several years ago. This implies I have totally understood the difference between residual water in steam as a fraction of mass or volume.<br>As I have unsuccessfully tried to explain:<br>1) The plots you were showing are well known and can be found in any textbook of physical chemistry. They show measurements of the steam fraction in VOLUME percentage.<br>2) As I have told you many times, Dr. Galantini, the expert chemist that was in charge, performed measurements in MASS percentage.<br>As Professor Zanchini told you the same day we met, one of the crucial bits of information you omitted from your preliminary report is that a fraction of water in the steam, measured by MASS as we have done, would reduce the amount of measured energy in a linear way.<br>Therefore, our calculations and our analysis are correct.<br>Given that you omitted portions of information you had, insulted me (and my University) trying to say that I'm not knowledgeable enough in my area, tried (just tried) to scare me and put me under psychological pressure in order to obtain so far undisclosed data, I will not send you further information.<br>Regards,<br>Dr. G.Levi</ref> | + | Giuseppe Levi reacted with an open letter in an Italian blog, accusing Krivit of having not understood what he, as a physicist with a PhD, explained to him about measuring the water content in steam as measurements in mass percentage.<ref>Dear Mr. Krivit,<br>I have carefully read your preliminary report on your trip to Bologna.
