Exactly right. There is no advantage to a device that runs at 1500 deg
C, and no reason Rossi would want people to think it runs at that
temperature. On the contrary, that would be dangerous. 400 deg C is much
better from a commercial standpoint. This is the temperature the uranium
core is kept at in a conventional reactor. It is relatively mild so it
reduces wear and tear.
If 1500 deg C was a commercial advantage, this is might be
"disinformation." The only use for such high temperatures would be in
aerospace apps.
As I said before, there is a major language gap here. Several people
have told me that Rossi's English is not good, and this has caused
misunderstandings.
