I was adjusting my spice model of the ECAT when I decided to determine how
important it is to keep the device operating within the normally unstable
region at all times. Here I refer to the unstable region as that operation
range where the ECAT would tend toward over heating unless under
sinking mode would have much
higher tolerance for controlled PWM excursions into areas that would be
considered runaway if not for the steady drain.

Dave, I think you we are both in agreement with the initial post of Ed’s
thermal analysis,

Fran, my model takes into account the rate of heat transfer out of the device
by using a parameter that simulates a thermal positive feedback loop. And, as
you suggest this depends greatly upon the rate of heat
techniques.

Dave,
Does this model allow a stable energy production regime to exist when, after
initiation via initial heating has begun, the device can be run at zero input
power, and regulation to prevent runaway is achieved
be.

I like your approach, Dave. To fit reality, you need to take into account two
major variables. These are the diffusion rate and the solubility of H in the

I suspect that the results would have been much the same in either case. The
device was out of control.

I should add that I don't believe that currently we have any hard evidence for
the existence of thermal runaway occurring spontaneously. The (in)famous photo
of the device in meltdown was taken under

numerical optimisation techniques.
