Oops, I made a mistake. We have 320 kWh x 3600 s/h = 1.15 GJ
and not 576 MJ. And Joshua Cude wrote: > As I've said before, the temperatures are consistent with 70 kW output, to > give 385 kWh total. So Joshua is right that the figures are consistent if we suppose a hidden energy storage mechanism. The problem is that I know of a storage mechanism that doesn't involve Rossi, Focardi, etc. conspiring to deceive and developing specific technology for that. How one can accidentally store 1 GJ in the modules and release it nicely over a period of 5.5 hours? Especially given that Rossi talks of the reactor cores not exceeding 500 degrees. There isn't supposed to be any phase-change material in there.

The report states that 1.7 g of H2 was used. How do you want to produce substantial energy with that? 1.7 of H2 is 3.4 mol or 2.05e24 molecules. To get even one 1 kW for 5.5 hours which is 20 MJ or 125e24 eV, you need a whopping 61 eV per molecule. That's pushing it a bit for only 1 kW. Claiming that the energy comes from that amount of hydrogen is equivalent to admitting nuclear reactions. -- Berke Durak
