Not only non-linear, but transient (ie changing) analysis.

There's a direct correlation between Spice electronic elements and thermal 
elements:


Electrical  Thermal
Voltage Temperature
Charge  Heat
Current Heat Flow
Resistance  Thermal Resistance
Capacitance Specific Heat * volume

I used it to see if the placement of thermocouples in Rossi's "Heat exchanger" 
test would invalidate his results.

(I think that was the last version ... I didn't link it to my main  page)

A mesh of resistors models the structure in 2D (you can do it in 3D but that 
wasn't necessary)
The resistors models the conductivity through the mesh
A capacitor at each junction of 4 resistors models the specific heat

You can then see how a temperature impulse propagates through the mesh.

I got a qualitative answer, but I couldn't callibrate it to get a quantitative 
result.

I expect much the same for the hot-cat.

I hope they are not used for that purpose.

A spice model is an electronic model that handles non linear analysis.  In 
order to simulate Rossi's ECAT, you use electrical components.

What is a spice model?


Do I understand, are these models for faking the Rossi results?

I'm working on the Spice zero'th-order model.  I've got a nonlinear resistor 
model twitching (with a table lookup) --- I just have to plug in the right 
equation.  (And calibrate it).

Alan,

It will be interesting to see if your model agrees with mine.  I have had one 
working now for close to a year that demonstrates a COP of 6 when the device is 
at the threshold of instability.  A COP of 3 is much easier to control although 
both must operate within a region which is normally unstable without input 
power modulation.

I drive my model with a pulse width modulated source just as Rossi's actual 
device.  I find that his statements about the operation of his ECAT make sense 
according to the behavior of my model.

I am using a spice model.

Ethan, I appreciate your spirited critique, especially the simple hidden
double wire scam -- which if power was actually supplied at high voltages,
could be very small in diameter.

I wonder if this can explain the remarkably constant temperature rises and
falls with exponential curves shown for runs of up to 5 days?

Remarks on the test

An interesting aspect of the E-Cat HT2 is certainly its capacity to operate
in self-sustaining mode.

The values of temperature and production of energy which were obtained are
the result of averages not merely gained through data capture performed at
different times;
they are also relevant to the resistor coils’ ON/OFF cycle itself.

By plotting the average temperature vs time for a few minutes of test (Plot
3) one can clearly see how it varies between a maximum and a minimum value
with a fixed periodicity.

Plot 3. Average surface temperature trend of the E-Cat HT2 over several
minutes of operation.

Note the heating and cooling trends of the device, which appear to be
different from the exponential characteristics of generic resistor.

Looking at Plot 3, the first feature one notices is the appearance taken by
the curve in both the heating and cooling phases of the device.

If we compare these in detail with the standard curves of a generic
resistor (Plot 4 and Plot 5), we see that the former differ from the latter
in that they are not of the exponential type.

Plot 4. Comparing the typical heating curve of a generic resistor (left,
[Ref. 9]) to the one relevant to one of the E-Cat HT2’s ON states.

Finally, the complete ON/OFF cycle of the E-Cat HT2, as seen in Plot 3, may
be compared with the typical heating-cooling cycle of a resistor, as
displayed in Plot 6.

Plot 6. Heating and cooling cycle of a generic resistor [Ref. 9].

The trend is described by exponential type equations.

What appears obvious here is that the priming mechanism pertaining to some
sort of reaction inside the device speeds up the rise in temperature, and
keeps the temperatures higher during the cooling phase.

Another very interesting behavior is brought out by synchronically
comparing another two curves:
power produced over time by the E-Cat HT2, and power consumed during the
same time.

An example of this may be seen in Plot 7, which refers to about three hours
of test.

The resistor coils ON/OFF cycle is plotted in red, while the power-emission
trend of the device appears in blue.

Plot 8. Detail taken from Plot 7, reproducing the first two periods of the
cycle.

The three time intervals in which each period may be divided are labeled by
Roman numerals.

Further food for thought may be found by analyzing the trend of the ratio
between energy produced and energy consumed by the E-Cat HT2, as referred
to the same time interval dealt with in Plot 7.

The blue curve in Plot 9 is the result of the analysis, and is reproduced
here together with the red curve of power consumption normalized to 1.

Basically, for every second taken into account, the corresponding value of
the blue curve is calculated as the ratio between the sum of the power per
second emitted in all the previous seconds, and the sum of the power per
second consumed in all the previous seconds.

Plot 9. The blue curve is the result of the ratio between energy produced
and consumed by the E-Cat HT2, with reference to the same time instants
dealt with in Plot 7.

The red curve represents the ON/OFF trend of the resistor coils normalized
to 1.

All the above trends are remarkable, and warrant further in-depth enquiry.
