I guess I should have referred to it as a 'battery'. That cylinder of nickel powder could have been 'charged' before the demo for all we know; maybe without the 'pre-charge', it would only have lasted for one hour instead of 3.5. Here is an inventor and entrepreneur, who intends to have a 1MW system running within 3 weeks, and who gives a demo of one of the modules, and does it in a way that can only engender skepticism and ridicule. There is no reason I can think of why Rossi would not do his best for this demo, but what he came up with was almost a joke, presumably because he could not come up with anything better.
