Steorn is not stating anything about the input power requirements for their
HephaHeat product in that product's web pages. The personal communication
about 1kW was made regarding a FaceBook video of a device that might be
construed to be related but is not claimed to be related by the Steorn
HephaHeat pages. It might also be construed, given the ambiguity, to be a
continuous power input drawn down as heat in short periods of time (say
during a shower). Indeed, that is the interpretation given the 1kW
statement by many skeptics.

A clever gentleman at the bottom of the page has calculated the
HephaHeat's coefficient of performance:
...the Orbo heater has a minimum output power of 346.12 kW with an input
power of 1 kW, which yields a COP of *346*...
Isn't that amazing. That has to leave Rossi's E-Cat (with a COP of only
around 6) for dead!
But still Rossi's device does get the higher end - right up over a
megawatt. And it's market ready.
So I think the sensible thing would a cross-licensing agreement between
Steorn and Rossi - let Steorn include the E-Cat in their range of products
to cover the top end, and let Rossi incorporate HephaHeat technology into
his home units. After all it seems HephaHeat doesn't need the
complications of a catalyst and hydrogen feed, but simply runs from
ordinary 50 or 60Hz mains power. That's got to be an enormous advantage
for home use.
While we are considering the cross-licensing business, we shouldn't forget
about Transaltec (English site at www.gammamanager.com) who Rossi has
just accepted to market his ECat in Switzerland. The only two products
that this company now sells are very large - their 1.5 to 225 MW EBM power
plants and now the Megawatt ECat. I reckon Steorn's new HephaHeat device,
and the even smaller powered Orbo motor would fill out the low end of their
product range perfectly. They would be able to offer Energy by Motion,
Energy by Fusion, Energy by Foolishness and Energy by Mistake! I am
sure if they hired Sean as their marketing manager that they could make
plenty of money. As others have suggested long ago they might change the
company's name to something more dynamic and star-studded - Sean's
Connery for instance.
But still I think the highlight for this week was reading about the man
eating monsters that might have got Obama while he was trying to be seen
but not eaten on mars! Probably the most amazing thing about this report
is the incredibly large percentage of serious comments at the bottom of the
page with almost no one taking the mickey! Maybe they have a rule against
that like on vortex-l.
But I had a serious question about this article - anyone know why some of
these predators on mars are impossible to evade if encountered? Even
Arni managed to beat the predator that visited Earth so why couldn't Obama
use some of Arni's tricks to evade these predators? Here is a link if you
