Interesting posts on e-cat world lately. It's a good point. If coal is so cheap, than a cop of 3:1 for electricity - thermal isn't going to cut it. They're are going to need to be able to power the cat by coal itself or gas and get a 3:1 thermal - thermal ratio.

It is interesting to note that Rossi's lower temperature eCat arrays appear to go into service for heating. If you look at his hotCats, they are being configured as industrial furnace heating elements. Operating at 1000C, these furnace heating elements being replaced are mostly electrical with a

For sure, but it isn't interesting to take electrical and do a 3:1 COP on it. what's interesting is to take coal or gas and do a 3:1 COP on it. But I think if Rossi can do that, than I think he should be pretty close to just using an eCat for it. On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 7:37 AM, Bob Higgins

Of course the COP=3 argument may not apply when a well designed ECAT is put into service. My simulations suggest that the geometry of the device can be adjusted to achieve a higher COP if required. We need to realize that the testing done by the scientists was not conducted in a manner that

David, Rossi is agreeing on JONP that they need to use gas as well. My question is though if they can use gas, why not use a self-feedback system. On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 9:41 AM, David Roberson dlrober...@aol.com wrote: Of course the COP=3 argument may not apply when a well designed ECAT is

A COP of 3 is not accurate according to the specifications supplied by Rossi. It is important not to assume that the lower limitation is firmly established since thermal feedback can generally be used to increase that number significantly. The main problem is to keep the device from going

Even at a COP of 6 gas heating would be better than electric when overall system cost is considered. This is because gas is so cheap these days. Can you show where Rossi has declared that his delivered COP is guaranteed to be less than 6? I have never seen any reference to a number less than

I am wondering about one situation that has not been mentioned as far as I recall. If you place several of the ECAT type devices within a high temperature furnace then the surrounding temperature within the oven will be applied to the ECAT directly. Now that should be enough temperature to

I think the point you are missing is that these heat treatment plants (smelting, glass, etc) are already using electric furnace elements with a COP=1. They are not using coal fired elements. The electricity to drive these furnace elements is largely coming from coal. So if Rossi develops a

I have always believed from the very begining that the Ni/H reactor should have been based on a liquid metal heat pipe concept. The heat pipe concept is required to keep the reaction zone inside the E-Cat free of combustion gases that might come from using natural gas as a external heat source.
