For the sake of linguistic brevity I would like offer up the suggestion that Rossi's smaller e-Cat configuration... what has been called e-Kittens (a wonderfully descriptive linguistic representation, by the way!) be abbreviated to one of the following terms: e-kit (Short for e-kittins)

For what it's worth here is sketch of the configuration I have in mind. There are multiple cooling pipes in parallel. When the nickel catalyst heats up, it heats the entire engine block. If some of the catalyst cylinders do not heat effectively the heat is still evenly distributed across the

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I think ganging together many small Rossi devices will call for some complicated engineering. Perhaps it will slow down the development of the 1 MW reactor. I'm sure that 100 units can be coordinated but it may take a team of engineers some time to design such a

I meant to say the screw holes would be used to admit hydrogen into the cells, or evacuate them. Maybe they would be used to admit nitrogen to shut the thing down. 100 individual hydrogen pressure hoses running to 100 cylinders would be an engineering headache but I suppose something can be

All the generators have to be balanced- heating capacity = cooling capacity; you cannot cool the second E-cat in a row with steam- very bad heat transmission. It must be something like warm- hot- very- hot- steam, or with the cooling line under pressure. Not an easy problem, however not an
