These are enclosed spaces. But they have lots of ventilation. If there was a large ventilation fan in the Rossi shipping container and another in the room, 1 MW would be plausible. But nothing like that is shown in the photos. I would expect you could put your hand on an electric water heater like the > 350 KW one Stephen Cooke linked earlier, or on a 250 KW E-Cat. > Maybe, but you would not want to be in shipping container with three of them! > So, if you quoted him correctly, the HVAC engineer with whom you consulted > got it wrong. > That was back when he was working with 50 units. However, the lawsuit mentions something about 52 units, so perhaps the 1-year test is also with 50 units. If there are only 4, the heat transfer may be more efficient, and there will be fewer exposed pipes. > Rossi stated he used the four 250 KW E-Cats the whole time. > I think the lawsuit said otherwise but I'm not sure. - Jed
