Unlike previous eCat models which heated water, producing steam, the "Hot Cat" was evaluated on its own, producing heat as radiation and by convection. Three tests were performed: November 2012. A test was started with a new "Hot Cat (HT)", but the eCat "ran away" -- "The performance of this device was such that the reactor was destroyed, melting the internal steel cylinder and the surrounding ceramic layers. " December 2012. A 96-hour run was made, giving a calculated COP of 5.6 March 2013. A 112-hour run was made, intentionally at a lower temperature, giving a calculated COP of 2.6 In all cases the output energy was calculated based on the radiation emitted by the device, and the calculated thermal convection. The AC input power was measured with an appropriate wide-band meter. They did not, however, check the DC component of the input power, or use their own cable between the Rossi-supplied power socket and Rossi's controller. The investigators were not allowed to see the "magic powder" (they were allowed to see its container), or to examine the waveforms on the wires between Rossi's controller and the eCat. Neither of these affect the calorimetric results. So we are left with a few options: The reported results are true (with minor debate about the accuracy of some measurements) There was a "Wiring Fake" -- either by special wires, or by a large DC component. The investigators are co-conspirators with Rossi and the whole experiment must be ignored. The rest of my analysis assumes the results are true. I will use the energy densities based on the volume of the eCat's components. The result shows that with even a highly implausible fake (the entire visible cylinder consists of Boron, which burns with external air) the eCat ran over 500 times longer than the fake.
