Andy Findlay mentioned at one time that if you heat the end of a metal rod with a blowtorch it takes time for the heat to reach the other end, and that it continues coming after the heat is removed. The following is a demonstration run showing this using a firebrick rod and the input

Horace, indeed 2 megaeuros would be good investment to check the validity of Rossi's claim. If it works, then we are hundreds of modules to play around. And if it does not work in means of cold fusion processes then just return the device and get full monetary compensation. Rossi has promised life

It always works out the way you desire when you cherry pick the data. Throw away data that does not match your needs, keep all that does. This is the common way that some science operates. If you want to be truly honest in your effort, you must explain all of the experimental evidence.

I will be surprised if you are not able to simulate the 1 core self sustaining ECAT with a good selection of material. The single core would just behave as a high capacity energy storage unit since the heat generated within tails off with time in that mode. Three core simulation in the

Look at your own calculations: c). If only liquid water is ejected by the ECATs, the minimum system power output is 187.667 grams/second * (440.27 joules/gram liquid at 105 C –75.544 joules/gram liquid at 18 C) = 68.45 Kilowatts. d). If vapor is the only output then the maximum system power

Rossi's largest contribution to improving on the Piantelli-Focardi work, may have been his suggestion at using nano-nickel. The increased surface area, and available crystalline lattice has been garnering a lot of attention. Variations in particle size and, possibly more importantly, surface

The vortex group can really put on the heat on occasions. I salute you for planning to actually do a test, but you must realize that Focardi heat treated his nickel in some manner before it worked if I recall. Do not be too surprised if you are not successful at first as that has always been
