Thank you very much for signalling this- it si a proof that he is doing healthy logical professional DEVELOPMENT. Very interesting and very different from scientific research- has a lot more dimensions, including human ones. (I was engaged in thsi type of activity for 25 years in nthe chenmical ind

William : My understanding is that the reactor volume in the original E-CAT was around 1 liter or 1000cc and that the new smaller module has a volume of about 1/20th of a liter or 50cc. Is this correct? Also, what is the standard power rating of this smaller module? Is it officially 2.5 kW? Ap

I think the problem is heat management and control; it seems that there very frequent heat peaks at the start- and local overheating can destroy the active sites. In the same time the triggering of the reaction needs uniform heat. One problem to be solved is that of design- a good commercial aspec

I have asked him because I dislike the planned method of scale up. I hope he has already tested step-wise combinations of, say 3, 12, 25 E-cats working together. As with the airplanes- the start period is critical- heat peaks or inhibition, oscillations (I think) An "E-lion" must have a more sophi
