Jouni, He has more exclusive material than you can shake a stick at – and a full day to cover the events properly. “Words and claims” for UFOs, Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster still get good coverage on the newswires, so I don’t see how this is any different. In fact, it’s far more credible in the light of the fact it’s been seen by quite a few respected individuals from academia. This “spiking” of an eCat story is not the first instance of this. I have heard other accounts of stories about the eCat that made it all the way to the editor and then mysteriously were killed at the last moment.

If the customer where Google (Passi supported these rumors some time ago) then they would report. One must not forget there are hundrets of inventors and conmans that try to get big coverage in press. They where already burned before.

[Vo]:Rossi 1MW : Why is the energy hidden behind pressboard?
Hi, isnt Rossi and everybody else aware that the energy produced is the most important thing in this experiment? Why did they hide the dissipators behind pressboard that looks like junk? This is the most important thing, and they try to make it look uninteresting. Why did they obviously underdimension and misconstruct the heat dissipators and pipes? Why didnt they measure air temperatures and air flow there and give some data about the dimensionig? From a psychological point of view this is telling much. Peter
Re: [Vo]:Rossi 1MW : Why is the energy hidden behind pressboard?
Who cares what it's behind?? Maybe he doesn't want people getting burned! Most machinery has some form of idiot fence around it! I find it amazing that people seize on the tiniest details, like a matron dissatisfied with her curtains. Rossi's test was a shambles of science - but what difference does it make?

[Vo]:Faith!
My strongest reason for believing that Rossi is on the up and up - plain old faith. 1) QCD, the theory of the strong interaction that controls how protons and neutrons interact, is a beautiful structure that is just about completely useless. Almost nothing can be calculated with it. I don't mean a restricted number of things - I mean just about nothing. Not only is it completely sterile computationally, it is also absolutely useless as a heuristic phenomenology to pave the way forward, the way the London theory of superconductivity paved the way for the real deal of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. 2) Neutrino physics is in complete disarray. The discovery of oscillations and the failure to find the Higgs boson (something many of us thought would never be found years ago) has thrown even the successful part of the standard model, the electroweak sector, into chaos. 3) Even bare QED, the quantum version of electrodynamics, is plagued with mathematical ambiguities that caused both Dirac and Feynman to ultimately reject it. Despite all the hubris about calculations to 8 decimal places, as a theory it is hopelessly flawed by reliance on ambiguous mathematics and poorly defined physical concepts. As Dirac said, one ignore a quantity because it is small, not because it is infinite! In other words, the standard model, for all its publicity, is a ramshackle of phenomenology that borrowed shall we say, its main tools from the theory of superconductivity and pushed them way beyond the brink of reasonableness. Even the fundamental idea, gauge invariance, does not last past square 1, and one must sacrifice it to have a short range force. Now consider the situation in 1820, when Faraday was working. Almost nothing was known about the true nature of light, there was no cooperative theory of electricity and magnetism, much less one that united them is a single scheme - that would have to wait until 1865. But Faraday forged ahead with his experiments. He discovered that a current loop in the presence of a magnet experienced a torque - the first clue to their actual relationship. Within a decade, people were making electric motors, completely without any real understanding of what was going on! Yet that did not stop people from tinkering and inventing and moving forward. It was the utility of the phenomenon that drove the science, not the other way around! And of course who in his right mind would have imagined the key to their relationship was nothing but light itself? That had to wait for a epochal genius, Maxwell. Friends, there are no epochal geniuses around. But we do have limited knowledge - a great deal of phenomenology - about the nucleus, and a bandy-legged, cross-eyed theory that at least makes up a sort-of consistent whole. The LENR researchers of today are like Faraday - Rossi is like the guys who made motors (and got rich!) - we wait for the Maxwell to cut the Gordian knot. But for the knot to be cut - you first have to believe it is possible. You have to have faith! Did we really think we would go down into the mud again without ever making any progress? Did we really imagine it was all over? Here's a brand new phenomenon, exactly when one was desperately needed! both in the practical world and in the abstract world of pure research. I could not imagine that we would all just turn out the lights, turn off our computers, shut down our universities and libraries, dismantle their buildings for firewood, and simply return to the dark ages. I had faith that some day, something new would happen. I am painfully aware of my own limitations, but that is exactly why I'm allowed to believe, when the self-satisfied and arrogant skeptic can only stew in his own cynicism. It's faith that tells me, more than 1000 experts and gauges, that this is real. -drl -- I write a little. I erase a lot. - Chopin

He has often quoted the price of $2000/kW; so, a megawatt reactor costs $2M; but, he only demonstrated 479 kW. So, did he get a check for only $958,000? Regardless, he seems happy. Does that mean TCs check cleared the bank? Or was it escrowed? Or, did those Men In Black carry cases of cash? Now that TC has their eCat, can we speculate on who has bought the next one (TC2) as Rossi has said the already has it sold? He said he would sell to any country. Maybe it would be China?

On the other hand, if you do not believe he is honest, then you cannot believe these results. There is no middle ground and nothing to quibble with. The fact that you cannot see the steam is irrelevant. Stop making up silly reasons to doubt this. You need only say that you do not trust a person you have never heard of from an unnamed company.

[Vo]:Re: Rossi 1MW : Why is the energy hidden behind pressboard?
Peter, have you seen this comment on NyTeknik? The video is inside the last article by Lewan. The valve appear almost closed, so that’s why there was not so much liquid water (5 liters according to the report). [h=3]Closed water condensate drainage valve[/h] Somebody asked Mr. Rossi about the water-condensate drainage valve, which is obviously shown closed in the latest posted movie. Here the explanation from Mr. Rossi: Andrea Rossi October 31st, 2011 at 6:07 PM Dear Paul Gordon: The valve has been always open, under the strict control of the Consultant of the Customer. The video you talk of has been made during the cooling down of the E-Cat, after it has been turned off. Warm Regards, A.R --- But if you watch the movie, you hear at the end very clear the voice of Mats Lewan saying: It is now almost 3 o clock. That means, that time the movie was recorded, the e-cat should have been in the middle of the so called 'self sustaining' mode. So, who is wrong? I hope Mr. Mats Lewan can clarify. Actually, I believe the time given by Mats Lewan, because - as you can see - it was still bright daylight. -Messaggio originale- From: Peter Heckert Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 3:17 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Rossi 1MW : Why is the energy hidden behind pressboard?

And as an expert he would have know there was a heater near the thermocouple, or that there was cold water in the other pipe. Any expert would notice this. Heck, I would notice this in an instant. Look, stop telling us that Fioravanti and Rossi might have faked this. That is perfectly obvious. No one disputes it. That is not news. If they wanted to present fake results they would not bother to put a heater near the thermocouple; they would simply present fake numbers. No one saw the power input measurements or temperature measurements. For all we know, the genset was powering the reactor the whole time. This situation is very, very simple. It is binary. If you think Fioravanti is telling the truth, this must be a real result with real anomalous heat. If you think that he and Rossi got together to put fake heaters near the thermocouples or pretend flow rates or any of a dozen other ways to make a fake demonstration, then you do not believe it. There is no point to listing all the ways they might have cheated. We know these ways. Listing them proves nothing. Okay, it illustrates how easy it is to fake a demonstration and why we must have independent verification and replication.

The title of this thread, asserting that there may be press suppression, seems llike nonsense to me. No major mass media this paper will report this kind of event. What are they going to say? An engineer from an unknown company made a claim that no scientist or engineer would believe, without providing any proof and without letting any independent observers verify the facts. The mass media is doing us a big favor by not reporting this. It is an embarrassment. Unless you know a great deal about cold fusion and Rossi you will not believe a word of this. Our resident skeptics are perfectly justified in not believing any of this. I only object to their messages because they are making up frivolous reasons to disbelieve, instead of simply pointing out the undeniable weaknesses. And because they seem to think the rest of us do not realize this could easily be a scam. That is annoying. I personally do not think it is a scam, but of course I see why other people legitimately think it is. - Jed

The blanket statement that those who did look into the 1 MW system and accept Krivit's version is far to encompassing. How can I determine that all of the scientists made that conclusion? Krivit seems to have a blinded version of events where he can see nothing good in Mr. Rossi. There is plenty of question as to what his agenda is and who pays his bills. Krivit does not support his position at all with his closed minded assertions. Some of Mr. Rossi's supporters, including myself, have reviewed his test data and see LENR effects.

[Vo]:Mill's and Lu paper define hydrino as fractional Rydberg
A recent paper Time-resolved hydrino continuum transitions with cutoffs at 22.8 nm and 10.1 nm http://www.springerlink.com/content/q8005267210x3568/fulltext.pdf by R.L. Mills and Y. Lu published in The European Physical Journal D - Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physicshttp://www.springerlink.com/content/1434-6060/ now defines the hydrino in the same terms of fractional Rydberg atoms that other researchers have postulated for years. Previously Mr Mill's has cautioned others not to use his hydrino label in referring to their own research or theories because it was somehow different from fractional hydrogen, inverse Rydberg matter, condensed hydrogen or other such terms. Now the tables are turned and perhaps we should extract the same penalty and demand Mill's abandon the term hydrino since inverse Rydberg hydrogen is already a known entity. I predict Mill's papers will soon embrace the work of Jan Naudts that the hydrino or inverse Rydberg state of hydrogen is actually relativistic. Mills has previously compared the hydrino to hydrogen ejected from the suns corona at fractions of C but this may have been very misleading. IMHO hydrogen accelerated to fractions of C experiences time dilation like the accelerated twin paradox and ages very SLOWLY relative to us on earth while hydrogen in Mill's Rayney nickel would need to age very RAPIDLY. This would require us outside the Mill's reactor to appear equivalently accelerated to fractions of C from the perspective of the fractional Rydberg hydrogen in the reactor. Since we on earth can be considered stationary on a luminal scale of velocity then it remains that the fractional hydrogen inside the reactor must experience EQUIVALENT NEGATIVE acceleration. This is opposite to normal time dilation. Casimir theory states vacuum energy density is reduced between the Casimir geometry of skeletal catalysts or the voids formed between Ni nano powders. This reduced density phenomena only occurs at the nano scale as opposed to increased density which requires an object to approach fractional values of C or equivalent acceleration due to gravity on the scale of a black hole. The Casimir effect manipulates energy density via suppression of longer vacumm energy wavelengths [larger virtual particles can't fit between plates]. This does not require exponentially higher energy to achieve velocities approaching C but depends instead on physical properties of conductive material in specific geometries. It directly modifies the energy density independent of any velocity. The time delays for Plasma spectrum in Mill's paper also lend support to Jan Naudt's proposal of a relativistic interpretation of the hydrino. If truly relativistic then the fractional hydrogen and the spectrum they emit locally when reacting with other local fractional hydrogen may be effected by time dilation - Like the Twins paradox a local observer always experiences normal time flow, It is only when the twins meet in a common inertial frame that the effects of time dilation become apparent and likewise it is only when the spectra emitted by the fractional hydrogen propagate out of the skeletal catalyst that changes due to dilation can be measured. One might assume that this effect would simply return the spectrum to normal condition but claims regarding this Black Light plasma seem to indicate a relationship between changes in bond state where fractional hydrogen is both disassociated and then re-associated. IMHO there is difference between accomplishing fractional Rydberg state changes between fractional atomic hydrogen vs fractional molecular hydrogen where molecular hydrogen opposes fractional changes more than atomic hydrogen and leads to a skewing of the spectrum propagation when molecular bonds hold H2 in fractional states at odds with the local energy density.

I was relieved to hear that they ran at moderate temperatures and low pressure. I never thought it could not work in principle. If one reactor can produce 4 or 8 kW, it stands to reason that 100 can produce 470 kW. Why would anyone here who believes the smaller tests suddenly think the big one is fake? That makes no sense. For that matter, why would anyone think the Krivit test was fake? I do not understand why people think Rossi would go to the trouble to make a real system and a fake one too.

Re: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Mill's and Lu paper define hydrino as fractional Rydberg
I will remind the theorists among us again that Rossi states in his patent that copper can be used as a micro powder material as an alternative to nickel. This implies that the physical and/or chemical properties of Nickel are not critical to the Rossi reaction. Rossi has surveyed many other transition metals to support his reaction. He found that nickel performed the best but conversely the other transition metals work almost as well. Nano-engineering is all important in the Rossi process. This indicates to me that the nuclear and/or chemical properties of the micro-metal are not as important as the nano surface preparation of the micro-powder. In simple terms in my opinion, the topology of the nano-structures is what makes the Rossi reaction go. Rossi calls this topology tubules and spent six months working day and night to optimize this surface structure. The changing work functions of the varied polycrystalline structures of these tubules will break apart H2 into H. Somehow inverse Rydberg matter may be formed between and among these tubules with the help of the high pressure and temperature of the hydrogen envelop and the mediating action of an alkaline catalyst.

Re: [Vo]:Mill's and Lu paper define hydrino as fractional Rydberg
The appropriate term is Inverse Rydberg states but “fractional Rydberg”states is the term Mills and Lu used to describe the hydrino in their paper http://www.blacklightpower.com/papers/Time-resolved%20paper.pdf from the introduction [snip] The product is H(1/P), fractional Rydberg states of atomic hydrogen called “hydrino atoms”,[/snip] It is unwise to discount chemistry as the bootstrap stage powering the nuclear reaction. From day 1 with the atomic welder it was clear something odd happens when hydrogen is disassociated by an arc between tungsten catalysts and then re-associates to weld [melt] metals all the way up to tungsten. Just because there is transmutation doesn’t mean that is the sole source of energy or that it is even the initial source of heat. There is not enough lead shielding for fusion to be occurring at a level that would explain the output of an e-cat. Other more exotic nuclear paths would be necessary to accomplish the task with the sort of shielding Rossi used and I am saying we already know there is something special about atomic hydrogen from it’s welding abilities.. heating it in a catalyst is a way to lower the energy needed to disassociate it into atomic form From: Danny Ross Lunsford [mailto:antimatte...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 1:47 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Mill's and Lu paper define hydrino as fractional Rydberg Fractional Rydberg?

It actually appears to be in Euros, although customers in the US might benefit from the common practice of leaving the number alone, and just changing the currency. I don't think this changes the economics at all for early adopters, but it may make the price curve go out a little further in time before it hits a more manageable $500/Kw.

I still disagree, vehemently. I think this is a terrible approach, from the business point of view. I think he wasted 10 months on this reactor. This reactor is entirely too big and it serves no useful purpose. It is a crude prototype which the customer will not be able to use for any real world application. Rossi should have done a proper test of a kilowatt scale device back in January. Many venture capitalists and business people have approached me since then, and said they would give him large sums of money and all the support he needs if he will only do a properly instrumented engineering test. In fact I think Rossi did us all a tremendous favor as it just proves that this technology is absolutely mature and through it's basic simplicity and modularity. . . It does not prove a damn thing, because he did not allow independent verification of the claims, and we do not even know who the customer is. It suggests the technology is real. It is further evidence of that, which fits in with previous evidence. It is not proof in the engineering or scientific sense. It does not look mature to me. Obviously you can use modules in this method but I think that is a wacky way to build a megawatt scale reactor. It has way too many individual modules and pipes, and way too many things that can go wrong and will go wrong. Many small cells integrated into a larger device would be better. Also, square reactors are a really, really bad idea. - Jed

Re: [Vo]:Mats Lewan on Steam Quality
Alan J. Fletcher wrote [quoting Colonel Fioravanti): The only case when you have low steam quality or droplets or liquid water in this steam is in long or poorly isolated tubes fro steam transport. Steam then condenses and there will be a flow of water together with the steam. This is not the case with the Ecat he said, and he saw no doubt what so ever on the steam quality at atmospheric pressure and 105 degrees. On 11-10-31 08:36 PM, Terry Blanton wrote: Smart man. He is exactly right contrary to many discussions here. Perhaps. Or perhaps he's turning an expert eye on the trees and ignoring the forest. Let's try to put some numbers on the thing which is apparently not a problem save in the minds of a few silly worrywarts, shall we? Specific heat of water is about 4 j/g; specific heat of steam is about 2 j/g (according to Wikipedia). Heat of vaporization of water is about 2000 j/g (according to Wikipedia). So, to take a gram of water from 30 degrees to 100 degrees takes about 280 joules; to vaporize it takes another 2000 joules; to raise the temperature of the steam to 101, 102, 105, and 110 C takes, respectively, an additional 2, 4, 10, or 20 joules. The totals, then for 100, 101, 102, 105, and 110 C steam output are 2280, 2282, 2284, 2290, and 2300 joules per gram of 30 degree input water pumped through the system. First, let's look at the test from last spring, where there was presumably also no problem with the steam quality. The steam output temperature was held between 100C and 102C during that test. The water flow rate was set, a priori, with (supposedly) no adjustments made to control variations in the output temperature; indeed, that was a *requirement* for the calorimetry which was done. Consequently, the power level was apparently matched, a posteriori, to the water flow rate, to within some amount of variation which we shall now calculate. To achieve the demonstrated level of control over the output temperature, which was held to a variation of less than +/- 1 degree centered on 101C, the power generated must have been held to between 2280 and 2284 joules per gram of water pumped through the system. Since the pump rate was constant, that means the power level was constant with a precision of +/- 0.09 percent. (That's 9/100 of 1 percent.) This, in a process which is said to be hard to start and hard to control. Can you really say you don't see any problem with that claim? Now, I haven't been through the reports on the 1 MW test (sorry, don't have time, really, and I mean it, I sure would like to), but what I've read on Vortex is that, once again, the claim is being made that during the test, the generator made dry steam out of all the input water, with a fixed pump rate. This time the output temp was 105C. Now, let's take that at face value, and say it was 105C at 1 atm, and that, in fact, the output temp may actually have varied from 100C to 110C (give the man a little wiggle room!). In that case, given a fixed flow rate of cooling water, the actual power generated must have been held to between 2280 and 2300 joules per gram of water. Since the flow rate was fixed, that implies the power level was matched to the flow rate with a variation in power of +/- 0.44 percent (that's less than 1/2 of a percent variation in power level). That's with multiple E-cats working together, and with a system which was flaky enough that the final power level measured was just under half what it was supposed to be (that's a 50% variation from what was predicted). So, we've got a system whose output can't be predicted to better than 50%, yet its power output can be controlled with a precision of better than +/- 1/2 of a percent. Doesn't that strike you as just a little strange? T

In Krivit's E-Cat we can directly calculate that power output was significantly less than with Mats Lewan's E-Cat. Something like 0.9-1.5 kW, depending on real flow rate. As lower limit was so close to input that was 800 watts, it is reasonable assumption that there was no excess heat. At least, not much. It is not about thinking Rossi's motive to do such parlor trick, but calculating the numbers. But Rossi did not mind about the bad publicity, and that E-Cat was already outdated model. –Jouni

However it does have the potential through direct conversion to electric power (rather than through heat) to become extremely efficient. Let's hope that happens before the buffer period created by the reduction in CO2 expires. Our present system needs 15 to 20% of fuel for energy overhead, that is, energy required to extract and process fuel. It wastes 62% of what is left with inefficient machinery and transmission losses. See the last page here: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/NRELenergyover.pdf This shows 57.8 quads of rejected energy (waste), 34.3 quads of useful energy. This does not include energy overhead used to run oil wells, mine coal, transport fuel and so on. It does not include the energy overhead needed to convert corn into ethanol, which exceeds the amount of energy you get from the ethanol by a large margin, wasting several hundred million barrels of oil per year (a gift from the U.S. taxpayers to OPEC). No matter how bad cold fusion systems turn out to be, it is unimaginable that they would be as wasteful and inefficient as our present energy system. Most of the waste in the present system is due to use of heat as an intermediary, and materials that can only operate at restricted temperatures. CF as it stands at the moment would also use heat as an intermediary, and consequently also be stuck with the same inefficiencies (fission power demonstrates this point quite well). (BTW since fission produces fast charged particles, it also has the potential for direct conversion.) [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html

Lawrence wrote: That's with multiple E-cats working together, and with a system which was flaky enough that the final power level measured was just under half what it was supposed to be (that's a 50% variation from what was predicted). So, we've got a system whose output can't be predicted to better than 50%, yet its power output can be controlled with a precision of better than +/- 1/2 of a percent. Doesn't that strike you as just a little strange? Not at all, as you are ignoring some simple facts. As Sterling Allan points out at: http://pesn.com/2011/10/28/9501940_1_MW_E-Cat_Test_Successful/ Early in the day with a glitch showing up, Rossi said that they had to make a decision about whether to go for 1 MW output, not in self-sustain mode, or with self-sustain mode at a lower power level. The customer opted to go for the self-sustain mode. So in fact 1 MW was actually achieved by 107 (10 kW) modules containing each 3 e-Cats of 3.3 kW; see also the pictures of Rossi's report for these details. http://db.tt/wu4OLbgk In my opinion it only shows that to get 1 MW with a COP of infinite from such a system in self-sustain-mode it needs to be dimensioned to produce 2 MW with a COP of 6 in not-self-sustain-mode.

In Krivit's E-Cat we can directly calculate that power output was significantly less than with Mats Lewan's E-Cat. Something like 0.9-1.5 kW, depending on real flow rate. As lower limit was so close to input that was 800 watts, it is reasonable assumption that there was no excess heat. At least, not much. Wait a minute, if the e-Cat during this test in June was running in self-sustained-mode this matches approximately the results from the 28 October test. Kind regards, MoB

Are you talking about the Oct. 6 test? It sounds like the Sept. 14 one. I mean the one with the heat exchanger, no hot water shooting out. The instrument readings on that are questionable, but I think the fact that it remained hot for 4 hours is first-principle proof of tremendous anomalous heat, as I wrote here: http://lenr-canr.org/News.htm I do not see how you can quibble with that. In this analysis I am assuming there are no hidden wires or chemical fuel. So I decided to ignore this. To much misinformation. If you dig into dirt you get dirty so better stop. There can be no misinformation at the most basic level. 30 L of water in a poorly insulated container, that was quite hot to the touch (80 deg C surface temperature) remained very hot for 4 hours. That cannot be caused by anything other than heat generation. You can ignore all other aspects of the test, and you can be certain of that. I do not think there was any misinformation but only confusion. However, if you think it was misinformation then you should ignore it and look only at the temperature of that vessel. - Jed

It has way too many individual modules and pipes, and way too many things that can go wrong and will go wrong. Many small cells integrated into a larger device would be better. Yes, this takes a lot of effort and time but that's just the power and essence of modularity, think small and put small modules that work well together to build large systems and achieve huge results. This is also how really large computer systems are designed and build. This is due to the fact that there is a limit to what technically can be achieved with single components and parts because of the constraints of the laws of physics and then you need to follow a different approach such as by designing and building for going in parallel. I have seen this years ago with capacity of digital transmission via light passing through optic fibers. The only way that Lucent's Bell Labs was able to tackle this problem and achieve higher capacity through their optic fibers was, by multiplexing light signals with a technique called DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing). Therefore in my opinion Rossi has understood the concept of modularity perfectly well. Kind regards, MoB

[Vo]:Did anyone hear about Miley's Pd-Zr results?
Did someone here attend the recent conference shown on YouTube? Apparently George Miley gave an informal extra presentation about recent results with the Arata technique, gas loaded Pd-Zr. He is out of touch. When I can reach him I will ask for any PowerPoint slides on this. The slides I saw in the YouTube lecture were about electrochemical cells. Brian Ahern told me Miley reported a couple hundred watts stable heat from a small sample of powder. Power density works out to be in the same ballpark as Rossi's reaction, and probably a lot more than Arata himself has reported. Ni-H is a lot cheaper material, but it would be good to see an independent replication of high power density with gas loading. Ever since Arata introduced this technique I have felt it is probably more practical and better than electrochemical loading. It is a little surprising that it works at all, because most people say that loading cannot be as high as it is with electrochemistry, and high loading seems to be necessary for heat. I hope to learn more about this soon, and get something to upload. - Jed

Hi Peter, I'm not familiar with these pumps but it has variable rate and stroke and I wonder if someone changed the stroke would the sound change, certainly the frequency wouldn't and it would be really easy to do without being noticed.

Re: [Vo]:Mats Lewan on Steam Quality
Steven A. Lawrence has presented a new argument, worthy of the level of critical acumen shown by the very astute Joshua Cude, that Rossi claims a stablility of control of the level of power output that seems unbelievable, given the evident problems of controlling the chaotic output of a very poorly understood process, which in the past has produced dozens of explosions, according to Rossi, and which at the start of this run created enough danger of runaway heat as to make it necessary to reduce power input by half, reducing the claimed output heat by half -- this claim, however, based on the implausible assertion that most of the input water is vaporized... whereas if only tiny percent of the weight of input water is vaporized, then at the low pressures within the over 100 reactors in parallel, the water-steam froth will naturally stay at 105-110 C for 4.5 hours, as observed, coasting on the stored electric energy from the initial heating -- the froth probably is impeding the flow in complex, chaotic ways within the over 100 reactors, so that the single output temperature is some kind of average of over 100 reactors -- any ideas how much boiler scale would build up from the minerals in city water at the places within each reactor that have the slowest water flow and the highest temperatures from the electric heater?

Jed Wrote Also, square reactors are a really, really bad idea. Safety and the Rossi reactor Have only just subscribed but been a lurker for quite a while so I thought to add a comment on a previous discussion about the square design of the reactor water chamber. (wrote this a while ago but didn't post it) I think this is probably a good design at this stage of understanding of the reactor. A cylinder with domed or concave ends is the prefered shape for water heaters and boilers but there is a good understanding of the maximum pressure they will be subject too and the maximum kW power input they will be expected to receive. We all know the result when someone removes the pressure relief or in the case of a wood fired boiler, fires it too enthusiastically, In this case there is a good likelyhood of a quite spectacular failure and there have been cases of houses practically demolished from exploding systems. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bU-I2ZiML0 ) In the Rossi case we have a system where the maximum power from the raction cannot be properly determined and maybe the possibility of thermal run-away so it is fairly well impossible to properly size a relief valve for a cylindrical boiler. A square boiler on the other hand is a good compromise, the bolted on top will distort and begin leaking not far past its design pressure, a long straight seam will fail without much overpressure and do so in an unspectacular fashion - a bit messy and dont stand in the way of the steam but there will be warning signs and the results will probably not be too damaging. a rupture disk in a cylinder would offer some of the same protection but once again they tend to discharge quite violently and still cant be ported to a safe location and retain their simplicity and integrity.

This reactor is entirely too big and it serves no useful purpose. It is a crude prototype which the customer will not be able to use for any real world application. Rossi should have done a proper test of a kilowatt scale device back in January. Many venture capitalists and business people have approached me since then, and said they would give him large sums of money and all the support he needs if he will only do a properly instrumented engineering test. In fact I think Rossi did us all a tremendous favor as it just proves that this technology is absolutely mature and through it's basic simplicity and modularity. . . It does not prove a damn thing, because he did not allow independent verification of the claims, and we do not even know who the customer is. It suggests the technology is real. It is further evidence of that, which fits in with previous evidence. It is not proof in the engineering or scientific sense. It does not look mature to me.
