When the E-Cat is turned off, there is still a hot iron core at 600 - 1000C, depending on who you listen to. It has lead shielding. If there are adjacent cats, they will also heat up, storing additional heat. Depending on the description, this may or may not be in the bottom; it may or may not

I've been collecting a few links to steam engines available on the net so that I'm ready when the e-cat's begin shipping. =) Here is an interesting one--  a very small 10HP model ($2K) http://www.greensteamengine.com/ Plans, full units, and licensing available. A much larger one puts out just

All this talk of pinning is just fine, but all of this is nicely predicted by the basic laws of electrical induction and the zero resistivity offered by a superconductor, you would expect repulsion or attraction to occur. No it is not. This flux pinning thing is a big deal. The same

Well - everyone who has followed this story for the last year (or twenty years for some of us) should perhaps go on record in the next few days with their well-considered predictions, as Terry has ventured. And not just a prediction but a rationale for the justifying their slant on the outcome of

A new understanding of flux pinning is the most important relation in 100 years. The magnet floats on the superconductor. Apply an RF field of 10 mega hertz to a small disk and the magnet drops. That what I saw, so what you say. Now we know how energy is released. Energy is pinned with

Hello Frank, You have an impressive understanding of the flux pinning theory. Can you give me an answer to my question? It appears that energy can be put into the floating disk-magnet combination by pushing or pulling against the disk. Where does the energy show up in the system? Does the
