Giving points made by Jed, Jones and (Steven) Johnson validity, and the fact that Rossi admits to not being a genius but requests people give him some credit for being reasonably bright and competent, I would bet that the heat xfer issue was something that needed to be solved long ago and has been solved to a large degree.... if Johnson's (Steven's) caveat is correct, would that not explain the reason why Rossi has tended to scale his eCats DOWN instead of UP! -Mark

Plus we had some indirect dialogue with Rossi re. the role of Piantelli's work in the area of Ni-H LENR. Rossi has declared that his system is different from Piantelli's. So I have asked him relatively nice things as E-lion, E kittens. I understand well his problems and tactics. If you can put this question in an innocent form.. I am ready to ask. But probably he will not tell how the pancreas or the kidneys of the E-cat work. peter On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 9:55 PM, OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: On a more serious note, someone who may have achieved some street creed with Rossi might want to pop this interesting heat transfer question to Ross at his blog. It might be interesting to see how Rossi responds. Could be highly revealing. Peter Gluck, comes to mind as the "volunteer" for his dangerous mission! ;-) Perhaps we should first wait for Beene's forthcoming heat-transference data before popping the question. Heat transference is indeed a tricky engineering problem. As volume increases it becomes vital to increase the amount of surface area where heat transfer can occur. Thus heat flanges and fins are created to assist in this endeavor. Internal cooling coils and tubes can also be built into solid blocks of "volume", to assist in the dissipation of heat. However, there is a subtle point that might have been overlooked here. Consider the flip side. As overall volume decreases excess surface area becomes LESS critical because what volume exists can more easily escape - since all "volume" is relatively close to a surface area. Therefore... it IS conceivable from my POV that Rossi's smaller e-kittins might be able to more efficiently transfer heat due to their inherent smaller volume as compared to the bigger sisters, the e-cat.
