Rossi has stated within his blog that the HotCat only works on AC power. Both 50 and 60 hertz appear to work with his system.
This is strange since he has indicated on several occasions that gas powered input is being used as well. The implication is that DC must cause some type of issue that degrades the device performance. Of course AC would lead to a reversal of the magnetic field emanating from the heating element periodically, but gas should not become involved in the magnetic field environment. Could this be another attempt by Rossi to confuse us since we are beginning to suspect that the magnetic coupling is a major factor? Dave
