From: Jed Rothwell * As I said, the reactor transfers 3 GW with 80,000 rods. That is approximately 37.5 kW per rod. (Previously I estimated per liter of rod.) That comes to 0.030 kW/cm^2. A liter-bottle shaped Rossi cell putting out 130 kW would be producing 0.216 kW/cm^2, an order of magnitu

Well another thing that brings to mind is that the reactor vessel could be emitting electrons (Edison effect) which perform electrolysis on the coolant. That could perhaps get extra heat into the water to boost convective or radiative transfer. I don't know understand why there seems to be such re

Stephen To answer the first problem - I believe that the specific heat goes up as the temperature rises, and is a higher the closer you get to m.p. * 130 KW for 15 minutes is actually 32.5 KWh. Only if that heat suddenly comes to a dead stop and you average over the hour ! Not likel

Dear Peter, There are differences and similarities, true - but does it really make sense that there could be two distinct processes of nickel and hydrogen, both of which were previously unknown to physics? Statistically, and to the skeptic, two improbable things happening with no precedent
