[Vo]:Rossi's E-Cat: modulable output or not?

Hello group,

[...] Is it easy to adjust the output power of that unit or is it just “on” or 
“off” 10 kW?

Dear Mr Mats Heijkenskjold:
Yes, you can adjust it, by means of a potentiometer .

Dear Mr Di Stefano:
1-The output of a single module is not modulable. The output of combined 
modules is modulable turning on/off one or more modules [...]


This seems to be contradicting information.
I wonder if there have been actual changes or if Rossi is deliberately 
spreading misleading information.


Cheers,

Darn right it is. I have been dealing with Rossi for a year and I have 
encountered this problem often. Ask him the same question 3 times and 
you get 4 different answers!

I cannot tell. It could be deliberately misleading, or confusion, or he 
changes his mind, or he simply does not know the answer. One person who 
knows him better than I do said the problem is that Rossi's imagination 
is so vivid, he sees what he wants to see, instead of reality.

... or else Rossi (more likely a subcontractor) really did add a common
control element to the circuit between the two answers, which would not be
surprising at all.

It would be more worrisome if Rossi 'made up' the identity of a Board
Member. That would be in reference to George Kelly of the University of
New Hampshire, who still has not surfaced, AFAIK.

There was a famous professor with that name there (now deceased) in social
sciences, and the present one could be a former professor by that same name.
The problem then is not that there is no one presently at UNH so named, but
could there have been two? Every bit of verification helps, so why hide
this?

That is not a great trait in a researcher.  (Obviously.)

I would safely stay there until the Fukushima problems are resolved.

The PWM scheme is basically throttling back a runaway reaction that doesn't 
really have any stable state between starvation and runaway but creates 
stability using duty factor. The PWM has to be balanced against the slower heat 
extraction loop so the controlled increase or reduction of any individual 
module (while maintaining over unity) is going to be relatively slow - I don't 
think any significant fast change in output power other than totally quenching 
the reaction is possible BUT he may be able to side step that issue by small 
PWM manipulations
To 100 reactors at a time such that the device can respond to load variations.
