There is no reason to think the Rossi cell is this shape. On the contrary, the machine is long and thin, so I assume the cell is too. Also, by the way, the estimate of 1 liter is an approximation. For all anyone knows it could be 2 or 3 L. If the cell is 8 cm diameter * 60 cm, that's 3 L, the surface area would be 1608 cm^2. That brings us to 0.081 kW/cm^2, which is not far from the fuel rod at 0.030 kW/cm^2. I am sure the zirconium rod can survive that, and despite what Beene's expert may say, I am sure the rod would continue transferring heat to the water normally at that power density. - Jed
