The 1 MW reactor is composed of 125 10KW units

I think Rossi said it is, and my guess is that it can put out 20 kW. It wasn't running at full performance, and the calorimetry is probably missing a lot of the heat, even though they wrapped insulation around the machine. In his blog, Rossi told me that the 1 MW reactor will be 1 MW thermal output. I do not know if it will be for process steam or electricity. My guess is steam, because it would cost a whole lot more to make an electric generator and you need high temperature, high pressure steam. The thing is, I don't know who needs 1 MW of steam. The big Hydrodynamics gadgets used in carpet factories in Georgia produce ~100 kW and that seems like a lot. I do not think they have 10 of those in one factory but I wouldn't know. As I said before, I think this plan is premature. I think that building a 1 MW cold fusion reactor is a dangerous thing to do. I hope that someone other than Rossi knows how to make the nickel catalyst. I fear he may be hurt or killed operating such a large reactor. (I am serious.) - Jed
