Huh. It does not seem there is much more we can say about this other than what I wrote:
"The device produces 100 keV and 300 keV particles. (Rossi? – Iverson reports)" We can change the citation to (Rossi, NyTeknik, 3/18/2011) What does anyone think this means: "Rossi: No radioactivity has been found in the residual metals, it is true, but the day after the stop of the operation." They don't look until the day after stopping the operation? Why would they wait? Perhaps I should change this item: The device produces no radioactive nuclear ash. There may be intermediate radioactive products. CHANGE TO: No radioactive nuclear ash is found the day after the machine is operated (Rossi, NyTeknik, 3/18/2011). There may be intermediate radioactive products during operation. > Perhaps we should capture that whole Q&A session since it has numerous > other answers by Rossi that are relevent... including yet another seemingly > contradictory statement where he says the output heat is regulated by > "modulating the parameters of insertion of hydrogen we regulate the power of > the E-Cat." > > But I've also recently seen on his website blog that he can control the > temperature of the water by varying the (power to the) resistive heaters! > Which is the right one???

My guess is that both hydrogen pressure and the resistive heaters are control factors. See: The power can be regulated continuously, from “0 through 100%” by adjusting the preheating input. (Rossi, 4/16/2011) Hydrogen pressure may also play a role regulating power. See Unanswered Questions (below). . . . UNANSWERED QUESTIONS Q: Do you control the rate of energy production by adjusting hydrogen pressure? A: Actually, it is more complex. You are asking confidential issues. Sorry. (Rossi, 2/16/2010) I think some of these contradictions reflect changes in Rossi's opinions or knowledge. The varying answers about whether some Ni isotopes participate more than others sound to me as if he has learned more about that subject in the last year. - Jed
