[Vo]:A real customer would not have accepted the 1MW plant.

2011-11-07 Thread Peter Heckert
Some thoughts: It is rather clear, when there are leaks on a brandnew prototype system, that is operated under 50% load and under eased conditions (open doors), then the leaks could be repaired but under real full load conditions the problems can (and probably will) occur again. This problem

The main reason any customer at this stage is buying the E-Cat 1MW plant is to reverse engineer it and/or determine its viability. However, each initial sale (13 now?) probably includes some strict non-disclosure or anti-reverse engineering clauses. So Rossi is probably selling a number to

There seems to be a lot of question about the actual heat released by Rossi's 1 MW system. Can we assume that it releases at least the minimum power calculated at approximately 60 kilowatts? Even this relatively small amount of heat would be quite noticeable by the standards that are being
