Levi Response to Krivit Preliminary Report

Appendix 26 to New Energy Times Report #3

[Ed: University of Bologna physics professor Giuseppe Levi sent this letter to Daniele Passerini and he published it on his blog, 22 Passi. It is Levi's response to Krivit's "Preliminary Report of Interviews with E-Cat Trio Rossi, Focardi and Levi." Levi did not send a copy directly to Krivit. Emphasis is original.]

June 17, 2001

Dear Mr. Krivit,

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.

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.

As I have unsuccessfully tried to explain:

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.

2) As I have told you many times, Dr. Galantini, the expert chemist that was in charge, performed measurements in MASS percentage.

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.

Therefore, our calculations and our analysis are correct.

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.

Regards,
Dr. G.Levi
