Dave-- It may be that the high temperatures cause the resonant coupling to disappear such that the mass energy transfer to phonic energy (thermal vibrations) is not so available.
This would be like a fission reactor with a negative temperature coeff. For fission reactors (U-235 types) the thermal neutron flux is what normally determines energy output. The mechanism is the resonant matching of the frequency (particle wave length) of the neutron relative to the fission absorption frequency (related to fission cross section) of U-235. If the population of neutrons gets too hot they will not be absorbed as readily and the fissioning rate decreases. (Prompt or fast neutrons are another story. These come directly from a U-235 fission and can also cause fissioning by hitting the U-235 with lots of energy. If a fast neutron chain reaction (more fast neutrons produced than needed cause another fission) happens, the device will explode. You do not want this to happen. Thus, knowing resonances and how temperature and other parameters—electric and magnetic fields, for example—change the resonances is key to LENR device design IMHO.

It might be as you are suggesting, but only further testing can confirm that. You mention the Chinese dogbone which I find quite interesting. One issue of note is the far larger quantity of active core material when compared to the other replicators(20x). At the same core temperature this device should put out that many times as much heat energy as its smaller brothers. The surface area appears larger, but the ratio of volume to surface area must be several times what was used within the MFMP project. In spite of the greater volume to area ratio, there is no indication of permanent thermal run away. I also see that the reactor temperature read on its external surface appears to control the core activity. This is a good indication that these devices can be controlled in a reasonable manner. There is question about the rapidity of the internal power rise when the input drive is applied. I am not sure how to interpret that except for one idea. The heater has an excellent conductive path to the outside surface of the reactor chamber and I would expect that surface to heat up very quickly as the wire begins to carry power. Since the core is already 'primed' prior to this heating I think that it receives quick notice of this new input power increase by radiation through the open space between the chamber wall and the inner core. We have seen in the short time before application of this new drive signal that the core operates at perhaps 400 degrees higher than the heater driven surface once LENR is taking place. So, apparently a tiny tickle is all that the core needs to enable it to zoom off into its normal active mode. Why this device does not self destruct is a question that I would like to see answered. Is it possible that there are only a finite number of active LENR sites available at any given time and that they become exhausted during the temperature excursions that should be occurring in a run away mode? If so, then this LENR process proceeds in bursts and then a refresh time is required. The behavior just preceding that large final pulse does have that appearance if you look at it carefully. And, if this is indeed the nature of this system, then control might not be too difficult since it self regulates by cooling between bursts. We have been searching for positive feedback bursting behavior but have not found sufficient proof that it is typical behavior when a modest sized core is used. Therefore, if this is normal we must figure out what determines the number of active burst sites and how to control their numbers under dynamic conditions. If too many occur then damage might occur.

Keep in mind that such systems may be quite large—for example, semi conductors, single crystals, dense plasmas, etc. Rossi may have merely connected the nano-structures electrically or magnetically with antenna or other means to provide good coupling among nano fuel particles. This would allow/establish resonant conditions, that in turn makes loss of mass energy and lower overall energy states necessary, consistent with the increase of entropy required for the particular system. This all happens instantly in the coherent system. (More and more data confirms veiry rapid response of LENR devices, if not instant responses.

There the concept was that the ECATs respond to the temperature in their local region so it is possible to place heating units at certain locations to activate other passive core generators surrounding them. The trick was to ensure that enough drive units were present to offer control while being careful that once the drive is removed the other passive generators did not posses enough positive feedback among themselves to achieve thermal run away. It was not entirely clear that this type of system structure would offer much improvement over one that consisted of normal, individually powered ECAT heat generators. I suppose you could think of my plan as being analogous to having a large oven that contains many individual thermally controlled heat generators. Each generator contributes its heat to the total system. Who knows whether or not the overall COP would be large and controllable.

The power of the mouse might be adjustable by adding more fuel to the fuel load that drives the mouse. If to much fuel is added to the mouse, it simply blows apart. In the Lagano test he added as much fuel to the fuel load as he dared. He feared that the mouse would blow out because of the heavy fuel load so he supplied a number of spear reactors to the Lagano testers. But Rossi found during product development that he could multiply the power of the “Mouse” by N times by adding N numbers of Cat elements as driven by a weakly powered mouse, a mouse with a weak fuel load. Rossi calls this Mouse and Cat coupling a resonance or his music. The Mouse actually becomes quantum mechanically entangled with each Cat element added to the reactor cluster. If you want a COP of 10, just add 10 non powered Cat elements to surround the mouse driver to form a Reactor Cluster. The Cat actually produces a high COP than the Mouse does and that surprised and pleased Rossi greatly. \ A depiction of a reactor cluster with the mouse reactor in the center driving N number of Cats.

The control of the Cat by the mouse might be and example of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) quantum mechanics steering. There is no measurement involved as required by the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The mouse actually drives the Cat into a complementary quantum mechanical state, no measurement necessary. Rossi's Cat and mouse could blow quantum mechanics apart. The Cat and mouse might share hidden local variables or the speed of entanglement might be confirmed as instantanious.. There might be a few Nobel prizes to be had in this Mouse and Cat situation.

If I understood some similar threads there is also a global improvement for multiple reactors installed in the same shipping container wrt ssm through some extraordinary type of linkage .. I think Axil called it an EMF backbone.

Many thanks, Frank Acland Andrea Rossi October 8th, 2014 at 12:07 PM Frank Acland: Thank you. All combined, Warm Regards, A.R. Curiosone October 11th, 2014 at 7:23 AM Dr Rossi, I do not know if you can answer to this question, if not please spam it. Does the Hot Cat like the one tested by the Independent Third Party have two separated charges, one for the Mouse and one for the Cat ? W.G. Andrea Rossi October 11th, 2014 at 6:21 PM Curiosone: No, the charge is the same, we have only one charge in that kind of reactor; by the way: if the ssm is not adopted, the distinction between Cat and Mouse vanishes.
