Interesting possibilities come from this, none of which are on the map yet .
1) No matter what level of gain comes from Ni-H, the ecat would need to use a pump of some kind to move the water. 2) The ecat needs external heat input to operate. Normally this comes from resistive heating 3) The company in Georgia (Rome?) still makes the cavitation pump but do not advertise it as gainful. That is word of mouth. 4) If the cavitation pump has COP of 2, then that could reduce the electrical input needed by the ecat by half, in principle. 5) If the ecat has a normal COP of 2 then with half the power needed for heat, the net result goes up to COP of 4. Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. From: Jed Rothwell Jones Beene wrote: The year was 1992-93 or thereabouts. The claim was excess heat and proof of a thermal anomaly based on heating water using less electricity than expected. The device itself did survive and is still in production. Jed Rothwell was in the thick of it. I have thought a lot about that lately. Was the Griggs Hydrosonic pump an omen of things to come? I hope not. Because nothing happened with that. When I last heard from those people, the company no longer wish to talk about the excess heat. The facilities managers who measured the heat remained confident of their measurements, but they were incurious. I have great respect for all of those people, and I understand why they do not wish to talk about this. Still, it is difficult for me to grasp why anyone would see a thing like this and not make a big deal about it. I guess I understand. Knowing about cold fusion has brought nothing but trouble to me. I wish I could be blissfully ignorant of it. Life is a one-way vector. You cannot un-see that which you have seen, or forget that which you know. - Jed
