Krivit Review of Galantini Steam Quality Declaration
Appendix 12 to New Energy Times Report #3
By Steven B. Krivit
Steam quality is a fundamental component of the Andrea Rossi group’s claims. However, the acquisition and reporting of steam quality data by the Rossi group has been insufficient to support confidence in the group’s measurements.
No members of the Rossi group have attempted to measure steam quality. The only person who has attempted it is Gilberto Galantini.
Giuseppe Levi referred to Galantini's measurements in Levi's Jan. 21, 2011, report.
In response to requests from New Energy Times for a copy of Galantini's test results declaration, both Levi and Galantini declined to provide a copy. Galantini told New Energy Times that the information was confidential.
LENR researcher Francesco Celani, a nuclear physicist with the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Frascati, sent New Energy Times Editor Steven B. Krivit a copy of Galantini's 51-word declaration. It appears to comprise the entirety of his scientific report and data. Galantini had sent the declaration to Celani, then Celani sent it to the Condensed Matter Nuclear Science e-mail list.

Si certifica che lo strumento con cui è stato effettuata la misura dell’acqua libera nel vapore durante il test Svoltosi a Bologna il 14.01.2011 era lo strumento HD37AB1347 della Delta Ohm dotato di sonda mod.HP474AC Con campo di risoluzione -40;+150°C.

On June 14 and 15, New Energy Times Editor Steven B. Krivit met with Levi and asked him for a copy of the Galantini declaration. Levi did not provide it. Krivit also asked Galantini for a copy of the declaration. On June 16, Krivit published a preliminary report about his visit to Bologna and his interviews with Rossi, Levi and Sergio Focardi. On June 20, Levi asked Galantini for more information about his measurements. But Levi did not provide it to New Energy Times. In an e-mail, blogger Daniele Passerini (22 Passi) wrote, “Galantini sent it to Levi, and Levi sent it to me.” Passerini posted the following message on his blog:

Buon giorno, in merito alla richiesta fattami in data odierna, come da me ripetutamente confermato alle numerose persone che me ne hanno fatto richiesta in passato, ripeto che tutte le mie misurazioni effettuate durante le decine di test per misurare la quantità di acqua non evaporata presente nel vapore prodotto dai generatori “E-Cat” sono sempre state effettuate dando i risultati in % di massa poiché lo strumento utilizzato indica i gr. di acqua per mc. di vapore.
Confermo che la temperatura misurata è sempre stata maggiore di 100,1°C. E che la pressione misurata nel camino è sempre risultata essere pari alla pressione ambiente.
Lo strumento utilizzato durante il test effettuato alla presenza dei professori svedesi è stato il seguente: Testo 176 H2 codice 0572 1766.
Distinti saluti.
Galantini dr. Gilberto

Good morning. About the request made to me today — I have repeatedly confirmed that many people have requested the same in the past — I repeat that all the measurements I made, during tens of tests done to measure the amount of non-evaporated water [liquid water] present in the steam produced by E-Cat generators, always were made providing results in “% of mass,” because the device used indicates the grams of water by cubic meter of steam.
I confirm that the measured temperature always was higher than 100.1°C and that the measured pressure in the chimney always was equal to the ambient pressure.
The instrument used during the tests performed in the presence of Swedish teachers was as follows: 176 Text Code 0572 H2 1766.
