Most processes do not scale linearly and offer new engineering challenges at certain cusps. A good example could be the nanopowder core of the reactor. If heat is generated uniformly within the core and extracted only at the surface of the core the process can mimic the heat enginee of corpulent

Most of us here on the forum agree that if the Rossi device is not faked, it is the most important energy invention since the Manhattan project. This is what Mills had claimed for his work about 6 months ago, but all of a sudden BLP is 'eating dust' and stalled at the gate in the metaphorical

Good analysis, Jones however I would add this: - the cell shows that 2 problems are solved- i*ntensity* and * reproducibility*however what remains is *scale up*. A la prima vista it seems that the 1 MW demo will be an assembly of say, 125 cells working together. I hope not...I am an engineer and I

From Peter: ... If you look carefully to Mills's papers he was more focused on scale-up. Let's wait the two macro demonstrations - Rossi's and BLP's they will be in the same time, almost. Interesting times.. Can anyone spell: p-a-t-e-n-t w-a-r? Regards Steven Vincent Johnson

Yes, Peter there is the looming issue of scale-up. You say: it seems that the 1 MW demo will be an assembly of say, 125 cells working together. I hope not...I am an engineer and I don't like the idea. Yes, that was my initial reaction as well. However, if this device is basically driven by
