I agree that these are very relevant "what ifs", annnnd i also think that there is a certain logic to the idea that the. perhaps the reactor could continue to run and be controlled with no electrical input to the resistors. perhaps not.
i don't want to get too opinionated here until i build my third or fourth working prototype ;-) but for now, i want to wrap my head around a reasonable set of assumptions so i can get my first one working (even if it is only producing 2:1) perhaps it is good to clarify here that the patent application explicitly says resistance heaters - is there new information that i am unaware of indicating that induction heaters are used? Jed, about your scramming theories - from what i read on the blog, the reaction is ended just by shutting off the resistors and the internal hydrogen flow and increasing the water flow: ------------- Mattia March 22nd, 2011 at 3:13 PM Dear Rossi, how can you say that it‚s easy to cut the hydrogen supply and cool down the E-Cat increasing the flow of water as much as necessary? Levi said: we loaded the unit with hydrogen at the beginning, and then the bottle was closed. It then worked for 18 hours with the bottle closed. Andrea Rossi March 23rd, 2011 at 1:55 AM Dear Mr Mattia Rizzi: The internal hydrogen supply system is different from the external supply system. The external (general) supply system is the one of which you are talking about, but then the hydrogen makes a path that is cut if power goes off or if we want for any reason. Warm Regards, A.R. --------- internal hydrogen path? the hydrogen makes a path that is cut? so there is a pressurized internal hydrogen chamber that has a controlled release into the reaction chamber? but if this is the case (that there is a digitally controlled release of hydrogen into the reaction chamber), doesn't that represent a single point of failure that could lead to over heating if the valve ruptures or the integrity of the seal fails? > > That's grand, but what if heat is the only thing that works? What if > electrostatic excitation has no effect on the reaction? > I think it would make more sense to title this thread, "It would be nice ...
